A refusal to allow quail to be liberated in the Wellington district wr«s received from the Department of Internal Affairs at a meeting of the Wellington Acclimatisation Society. No reasons were given. The chairman (Mr L. O. H. Tripp) said he had spoken to a number of farmers on the subject, and not oue had voiced an objection to quail in the district. It was in the north that damage was being done where the country was more suitable for quail and where they were very numerous. He thought they should try to get into touch with the farmers’ unions.
• America has no dole (says a correspondent of the Posf). The lot of the workless there is hard. There is no national, State, or municipal relief, and there is no place for the moneyless man out of work to obtain aid, unless he happens to be a member of a trade union or some lodge. The resources of those are limited. So he goes into ±be street. There is not even the statistical machinery for ascertaining accurately the number of workless. Estimates vary from 3,000,000 to 6,000,000 at present.
