SANDY'S CORNER

EGGS. Somebody has expressed the opinion that until there is more competition in egg-laying the supply of New Zealand s national breakfast fruit will not catch up to demands upon it. What a novel idea! We could form an egglaying union, or association, and try and interest the public. We can forsee a great cup final, between Olivia Black Orpington and Lillian Leghorn, with the off-course betting system in vogue. We should apply now, for grounds, where the public can be accommodated. Let us create competition between .Australia and New Zealand—even more ambitiously, let us go in for a world contest, staged on Cook's Gardens! WE ARE WAITING FOR A MO A. We knew something would crop up to take the place of "flying saucers"— it is walking moas! You can’t have a flying moa! It seems that somebody had s n idea that as they had found the notornis in a little er.p’ored re-ion of the south not ion- ago, moas might still exist in the Murchison rances. Dr. Orbeli, who discovered the notornis, is now o n record as saying that he does not think that moas exist there. We feel that, sooner or later, somebody will have a story of having actually'seen a moa! W e anticipate that it will be a case of seeing it against the light of dawn, when the influence of the bottle is at its height!
