WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Britain to-day is a manufacturers’ paradise because conditions are stable. —Dr. Leslie Burgin.

A cutting down of public expenditure does not destroy employment. A man can spend his money much more advantageously than anyone else.—Sir William Ray.

We are hopping about in the land of experiment, and often I believe a composer does not know any more than the orchestral players whether the right notes arc being played.—Sir Walford Davies on modern music.

Last evening the Dominion Meteorologist issued the following information: The trough of a westerly depression is now moving to the east of the Dominion, and an intense anticyclone extends from southeastern Australia over the .greater part of the Tasman. Sea. Forecast: Winds moderate to strong and southerly. Seas New Zealand waters, rather rough to rough generally. Eastern Tasman Sea strong but decreasing south to southeast winds, seas rough. Weather cold and changeable, with scattered rain in most districts, and snow on some of the ranges. Conditions improving soon, however, on the west coast of the South Island, and, except along the east coast, a more general improvement setting in from to-morrow.

In response to requests from residents at Edendale, Woodlands and other districts between there and Invercargill who sought a Friday night train service in order that they could do their shopping in Invercargill, the Railway Department has decided to run a Clayton car every Friday evening (commencing on the 20th inst) from Invercargill as far as Woodlands. This will enable passengers to come into Invercargill by the 7.35 p.m. train and either do their shopping or attend the pictures and then return home by the Clayton car which is timed to depart at 10.25 p.m. The usual market fares will be charged.

From inquiries received by the Christchurch municipal authorities it is evident that the Bowker electric fountain has impressed visitors, and that they have carried the news to their own cities. Particulars of the fountain have been supplied to the authorities in Wellington and Napier. In Wellington, the Press states, there is a proposal to erect a similar fountain in the vicinity of the war memorial carillon. The president of the Carillon Society, Mr H. D. Bennett, said that as far as he knew no inquiries had been made by the society, but it was possible that some other interested persons had sought information as to operation of the Bowker fountain.

“I was surprised at what might be called the socialization of England,” said Mr Will Appleton, of Wellington, when addressing members of the Palmerston North Citizens’ Lunch Club on Wednesday ori his recent tour of England. “We have always regarded it as a very conservative place, but so far as Government or municipal services are concerned New Zealand is 20 to 25 years behind. Every individual is properly cared for in England, and that is one of the reasons why. she is emerging from her difficulties. It was a real tonic to go to England. The Old Country is well on the road to recovery. There is no doubt about that. This is due entirely to one thing—character. The people have stood up to their obligations and nobly met taxation.”

For forty years McTavish and his wife had lived placidly together. Not once had they quarrelled. Then one evening McTavish put down his tea cup. and glaring at his wife, demanded, “Du ye want to poison me that ye gie me tea that tastes like var- ; nish?” “No, Sandy, but ye telt me I I was to economise so I bought some I cheaper tea,” she replied. “Weel, don’t ' do it again.
