ONUS ON CYCLISTS
SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTE
N.Z.A.A.A. CO-OPERATION
lk'cent developments have indicated that'there is a reasonable possibility of a settlement being reached before very long of the controversy over the administration of amateur cycling- Until the cyclists have straightened out their own diflieulties, however, a resumption of harmonious relations with the New Zealand Amateur Athletic Association will not bo entertained. This was made clear by tho president, Mr. E. W. McVilly, at last night' 3 meeting of the athletic council, when the statement, published recently in "The Post," conveying resolutions passed at a meeting of the cycling council, was received. Mr. McVilly said that the athletic council would be glad to help tho cyclists as far as possible, but they must first do their part. "Tho cyclists have got to straighten out their own difficulties before they can come to us," said _Mr. McVilly. He understood that at the present time negotiations were in train between the cycling council, the body recognised by the athletic council, and representatives of the League of Wheelmen. They had, in terms of a resolution passed by tho athletic council, until December 14 in which to get together. ■ Mr. W. F. Ingram referred to the diilieulty that would bo created, and the unfortunate position in which country clubs in particular, would be placed, if combined athletic and-cycling meetings could not be held during the Christmas and New Year holidays. Mr. McVilly said that if the council were to extend the period in which it had decreed cyclists .who-had not identified themselves with, the. League of Wheelmen • could compete at athletic meetings, the dispute would go on interminably. The whole question should be straightened out .at once and for all. ■ ■ . ■ Mr. F. S. Hill expressed the view that it was in, the interests of'the clubs that the date- should not be altered. Clubs which were anxious about the position sho.uld see, to it that there was.no delay. It was decided to' tcfer all matters in connection'with the question to the administration committee. ■
A half-crown, a shilling, a sixpence, a gold ring and" a manicure knife have been found embedded in a block of salt in Liverpool. The discovery- was made when a dealer was cutting a block of salt into slices for a customer. . . ■ STEANGE BUT TBUE. It is remarkable ' how ■ many colds come with the warm weather. Perhaps not so serious as the usual -winter cold but they are so hard to dislodge, so persistent and bo very weakening. This is due not only to constant temperature changes but to lowered vitality after the winter. These summer colda, however, can easily be shifted with Baxter's Lung Preserver. "Baxter's" quickly gets to the cause of • the troublo, clears away the congestion, and' restores easy natural breathing. You will be surprised how quickly you feel better. This is, of course, because of the unique tonic. properties that "Baxter's" has, which accelerate recovery. World travellers have remarked that in no other country have they known of any preparation so, outstanding as isthocaso with "Baxter's" in New Zealand. : . - "Baxter's" has a proud 70-year record and today is more popular than ever. : Every chemistand store in New Zealand sells "Baxter's" in three sizes, 4s 6d, 2s 6d, and Is 6d.—Advt. .
