was given immediately, the Hon. W. Nosworthy said it was a fact that there was an outbreak of the disease in the Australian State mentioned, but every precaution had been taken ,hy the department to ensure that it will not be introduced to New Zealand. All 'hides, manures, etc., were sterilised,, and the importation of cattle was prohibited. > - . ' ¥ . . Ay THE HOUSING PROBLEM. It was not the duty; of tlie Government to find- houses for all tho people, said the Hon. G. J. Anderson (Minister for Housing) last evening. The people must do something for themselves.'Possibly they might have to go into apartments. He did not like the idea; every man and his family would wish to live in their own house. Were they going to build these houses for renting purposes or selling? If for renting they would never get half the rents in. If they had not extended the rent restrictions the peculiar people who built houses to rent would be doing it to-day. : • •• •' : - ' ' ' “QUITE MILD.” 11 The hon. gentleman was quite mild,” said the Hon.

Mr Holland: I never condemn the country. 1 Mr Anderson: Well, the hon. gentleman is not so satisfied with it as I would .like him to be, Air Holland: I’m not satisfied with, your Government —that’s all.

OUR GIRLS.

Periodically someone demands, “what are we doing for our girls?” The Hon. G. AI. Thomson, AI.L.C., is the latest to question the country, and he answered tlie enquiry himself with “Absolutely nothing!” In the Legislative Council yesterday Air Thomson pointed out that the country encouraged its boys to perform military service, but neglected the important other half of the race. He went on to hint that the girl in employment to-day was getting more money than was good for her, and was not putting it into heir home . or saving it for her future, but frittering it away in idle and foolish Avays. There were women in the country claiming equal rights with men, lie said. They should sec what they could do. The' girls should consider that they were getting their education, free, ns the boys were and should be educated in moral responsibility.
