The necessity for obtaining a license to erect a wireless set was emphasised in the Children’s Court in Auckland on Saturday (reports our special correspondent), when a boy, aged 15, was charged with erecting a set at his home without a license. The offence was admitted. It was stated that the’ boy had made a set for himself at. a cost of 7s fad, nnd, in view of his limited knowledge, the wireless plant was very crude. In’order to “earth’’ the set he had carried a large tin of earth to an upstairs room of his home and placed the wire in it. In view of the fact that the boy is shortly leaving Auckland to go to a boarding school the magistrate dismissed the case on payment of costs. A transaction in which a sheepdog was the central figure was recently effected between a resident of Wanganui and a resident, of Napier. The dog was sold to the man in Wanganui, and was despatched by train from sunnv Hawke’s Bay.' 'lt arrived safely in Wanganui, but did. not fancy it new owner, and a fortnight later appeared in Napier. l a How it got there ik at present a mystery. ■■ ws
