ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

M.8.J., Palmerston North.— (l and 2): If you were a reader ol "Truth" you would not inquire to ask if there is a Hotel Waitresses and Housemaids' Union, or its rules as to holidays! This paper had devoted . columns to the subject for weeks past. (3) : Skibo Castle, Scotland. Glad you sent a stamp for reply ; we wanted a stamp just then and it was a very pretty stamp ; but you must have a lovely gall to expect an editor to Vraste his time writing privately to you. '„-■■ 'The Unknown," Christchurch.— As you are either afraid oi - ashamed to sign your name to your extraordinary statement (not fbr publication) •it carries no ' weight and must be ignored. "We have weight- ' ier reasons than you for being suspicious.' If you send your name and address our local representative will call upon you and get you to produce your .informant. Then, if 'the' story couid be proved, retribution would soon overtake the alleged' criminal, and he would not , only be prosecuted, -but ■ would be hounded out; of the trade and the colony. Utiku.— Say, you don't want much. (1) : You should nQ$ have bet on a question that is a matter of dispute to this day among the most scientific searchers into antiquity and' rfche origin of races. The Aryans are supposed! to have ; been one of the "original" peoples and to have dwelt m .Central Asia, east of the Caspian Sea, and north of the Hindoo Koosh and Paropamisan Mountains, and from them are believed, to have sprung the Hindoo, •Persian, Greek, Latin, Celtic, Teutonic, Slavonic, and other races. Now you ■! know as much as Professor Smelitoutovicherdamitorl. (2): You cannot withdraw, from your obligations ,m shares once bought, and you evidently can't sell so must bang on,, and may be glad sohie day. (3) : Don't come to us with your worry over your lawyer's bills. Tt takes, lis all our time to handle our own. (4) : A business man can srtrick 10 per cent. «n to overdue accounts, but lie can't legally collect it. It is a bluff to make Mr Slbtopay get a more on. "Lots of news" eh ?■ Hope you have not lots of questions. o ■;■•■
