Mr J. Frankis Lane, resident secretary of the Citizens’ Life Assurance Company, Limited, writes:—ln the ‘‘Times” of - ! the Ist inst a cablegram appeared to the effect that Mr Ralph P. Hardy had ; been appointed to conduct the annual I valuations of this company. Would yen i kindly correct this, as Mr visit to Australia is solely to supervise the ! valuation to be mad e at the end of this | year, which is the end of our quinquen- ! nium. Mr Hardy’s engagements Lugland as chairman of the Joint Coinmit- ! tee appointed by th© Institute of Actuaries and the Faculty of Actuaries to control th© present mortality investigations and consulting actuary to the United Kingdom Temperance and General Provident Institution would not allow him to remain permanently in Australia. A disturbance which occurred at the Salvation Army Citadel on Sunday, July 7th, was ventilated at the Magistrate’s Court last week. Sergeanfi-Major Whisker was charged with using unnecessary violence in removing James Moncrieff, a young soldier and member of the Salvartion Army band, who had been suspended for one month. After hearing a great deal of evidence on both sides, the chairman of the Bench (Mr W. G. Tustin) said it was a painful case, and it was pitiable that the Salvation Army could not settle its troubles without, coming to the Court. He also regretted that there should be such a divergence in the evidence of the witnesses. The case would be dismissed, each side to pay their own costs. Mr Wilford appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Cooper for the defence. A happy idea fer a trade mark ia the word” “Lemco,” coined from tha initials of Liebig’s Extract of Meat Co. Many inferior meat extracts seek to trade on the Liebig Company’s 36 years’ reputation and they accordingly ask the public to order their extract under the name “Lemco” in order to ensur© obtaining the genuine article. 1
