While the Prime Minister was moving the second i-eadiiig; of the Licensing Amendment Bill in the House of Represent a tves yesterday afternoon he was developing the idea that it wa,s unwise to pass a law if it would not be respected or could not be enforced. Mr T.M. Wilford interjected that no law could be enforced unless the majority of men in the community were in favour of it. The Prime Minister: ] prefer to say the majority qf the. population. Mr Wilford: The women cannot do- the enforcing. The Prime Minister: My opinion has always been that the women are the greatest moral force in the country. Women set the standard to be maintained.

Three Stewart Island fishermen recently took a tramping trip to the less freouented bays, hunting for .ambergris, but with only fair success. A feature of their trip (says the “Southland Times”! was the large number of deer encountered in the remoter bays .and beaches, and 2s per tail royalty helped considerably in paying their expenses. The deer appear to be fond of frequenting the beaches, where they eat the kelp which has drifted ashore, and they also appear to enjoy racing along the sandy stretches. At West Ruggedy beach a hard of wild cattle was .seen, and they are increasing rapidly, a,s also are the wild pigs. The party came across a small calf iin the bush, evidently hidden bv its mother. It was quite unafraid, but bawled loudly for its parent when disturbed. At an early date the Health Department is expected to call a conference to consider the report of Dr. MacKachern on the New Zealand hospital system. The New Zealand Hospital Hoards’ Association is now moving to get the conference summoned as soon as possible. It will be remembered that the Government took the opportunity of Dr. MacEachern’s visit to Australia last year to invite him to come to the Dominion and furnish a report on the methods of hospital administration and service. The principal conclusions of Dr. MacEachern were embodied in an interim report, which was furnished to the Government before he left New Zealand. The full report came to hand only recently. Important matters of hospital control will he discussed at the conference, and important results are expected to flow from it. Certainly, this is a duty”— —John Wesley.
