Mr T. C. AVebb, organist of Christ Church, will resume leaching music on Thursday next, .February 8. Cremation as a method of disposing of the dead does not rapidly increase in popularity, but is showing some advance in AVclliugton. In the Empire city during 1916 there were 16 cremations, as against 10 for the previous year. Remarkable results have been achieved by returned Anzacs in the hand weaving of tweeds (says the Melbourne Age). About six weeks ago the State- War Council seat Sergeant Sinclair to Geelong to train returned soldiers as weavers, and at the present time, in the old fire brigade rooms at Geelong, there ia the nucleus of what should become a useful Australian industry, in which discharged soldiers can be profitably employed. Sergeant Sinclair comes of a Scotch family, the members of which spun their own yarn .and wove their own blankets and clqth from sbeep reared on tho home farm. It was, as nearly as a household could be, eelf-suporting, and Sergeant Sinclair has no doubts that what was good for his household will be good for Australia. At present he has only three men at work, ' but he intends to add to this number as soon as the men are made available. They have been in training five weeks, and have produced specimens of tweed which can best bo described as of the. Scotch homespun quality. After ten days' training a man con produce plain worsted twefed at the rate of a yard an hour. Allowing his wages to be 2s, this tweed of a quality unsurpassable, can be sold at 7s 6d a yard, including a substantial nrofit. After thre months the man can make his own living. AA 7 lien more men ara. made available and the scheme is in full operation, other classes of weaving will be undertaken, and even the looms will bo “home made” by Anzacs.
