plauded as that in which he made a
demand for a higher moral tone IN the
entertainment presented in picture
theaters. The occasion was the largely
attended gathering of the Auckland
Congregational Mems League, which
took place at the Young Mems Chris
tian Association rooms.
Il venture to say said his excel
lency, "and I do not disguise my own
point of view in the smallest degree,
that some of the mental food served
up for young people in the picture
houses today is unworthy OF this coun-
try" He had just been referring to
the urgent necessity for keeping the
minds of New Zealand's young people
uncontaminated, particularly during the
period of enforced idleness to which so
many Of them had to submit in these
days.

tinued his excellency, that as in poll
tics so in entertainments country gets
what it demands, and If the people
of this country, particularly the fathers
and mothers, were to make up their
minds that whatever their own moral
defects might be they were going to
shield their children from anything
evil; if the fathers and mothers and
general God-fearing public OF the
country were to decide that they would
not have unsavory. unwholesome. NOR

this fair country two and a half years
hence. should like to feel that an
entirely different class of film is to be
seen in your picture houses, as the re-
suit of a wholesome demand on the
part Of young and old of this dominion.
I should like to be able to say to the
producers in the old country: New
Zealand, at any rate, whatever may
be the case in other parts Of the Kings
dominions, does not want this stuff
1t is no good sending it there: you
have got to provide something. and we
should like 1t to be British rather than
American; something as amusing and
as snappy as you like, but on no ac-
count morally harmful or calculated to
ruin for their lives the well-educated

Oxen Versus Airplanes.

Capt E. v. Rickenbacker is a genius
for concocting publicity stunts. His
latest is a race between OK teams and
airplanes. Starting from the same
point, at Newark, N. j., the oxen and
the planes proceeded to the same desti-
nation, and presumably the planes were
the first to arrive. The Implication OF
the experiment is that Of the vast prog
ress in transportation accomplished
since the unrecorded day in the dim
and distant past when bovine creatures
we're first harnessed to vehicle and
initiated in their long career as beasts
Of burden. ,...,
Possibly Capt. Rickenoacker over
looked the fact that even the OK had
a predecessor Time was when no one
had as yet conceived the brilliant no
ton of employing four-rooted animals
for transport. In that period of human
development woman was the burden
bearer. 1t was taken for granted that
she should tote the babies and the
household gear on the march, for, OF
course, her lord and master, the mighty
hunter, had to have his hands free to
take instant advantage OF any chance
to increase the family larder and the
wifes incumbrance.
It must have been some cave-dwelline
genius of Capt. Rickenbacker's type
who one unchronicled day said to hi.

The man who is strong and whose cour-
age is sure
Nay mold situations a lot;
But certain conditions he has to
endure,
Whether he likes them or not.
No matter how vast be the wealth he
may gain,
He oft has to hustle in catching train.
And meet with delays which no one can
explain,
Whether he likes them or not.
He must fight with the germ. though
it's size be no more
Than a wee microscopical dot;
He must listen to stories he oft heard
before,
Whether he likes them or not.
And cen the political views he may
nurse
Get foiled. One mans bad. but the
other seems worse.
So he votes with his party and opens
his purse,

Seriously, the unknown thinker who
visioned the OK cart was just as much
an authentic benefactor Of humanity
as was the builder Of the first sue

his contribution to human progress
was even more significant than that
of the Wright brothers and Glenn Cur

human shoulders. He enfranchised and
liberated woman from her earliest o.

started the business In which Capt.
Rickenbacker is engaged.
1t is all very well to poke fun at the
rumbling OK cart of antiquity and to
hold up to ridicule the patient, slow
going bovidae that furnished its motor
energy, but it must not be forgotten
that modern progress depends upon
ancient progress and that all the pres

rives from the victories over circum-

A Total Failure.
From the Omaha Evening orld-Herald.

From the Omaha Evening World-Herald.
If the solar eclipse was arranged for
the purpose of trapping Wilbur Glenn
Voliva into an admission Of the rotun-
dity of the earth, it was a complete
failure. "It was a very fine eclipse" 4"
says the prophet of Zion, ILL.,, but it
doesn't prove that the world Is round"
The great objective of science, as DR..
voliva sees it, has become getting him
into q corner on this proposition. But
they can't do it. They can pull their
solar eciipses and their lunar eclirses,
their occulatations and transits, their
morning stars and evening stars and
all the rest of it; they cah fly their great
circles and their small circles, discover
poles and make flights into the strato-
sphere, but he sees through their little
game. They can't fool him; he knows
which shell the pea is under.
So the scientists went to all that
trouble for nothing All they proved
was that the sunlight grows little dim
when the moon gets in the way. That
was plain without even using q smoked
glass. Anybody could see it.
No wonder they Are complaining
everywhere that the Total eclipse was
almost total failure.

Ninety Thousand Foreigners
Work in Switzerland.

Vaterland, Lucerne-During the past
wear. mostly with the consent OF the au-
thorities in the various cantons, no
less than 10000 unnaturalizeo ioreign-
ers have been employed in various N
dustrial occupations throughout Swit-
zerland, according to a report OF tpe
Bundesamt fuer Industrie. Geweroe
and Arbeit Ueague-Council for m
dustry. Trade and Employment, re-
Gently issued from Bern.
AS a result of this computation, re-
newed efforts have been made TO re-
strict the employment Of aliens. both ny
this organization and the civil authorl-
ties throughout the cantons where the
employment of foreigners Is most preva-
lent. Better things are hoped for during
the coming year, though 1t is signncant
that in most instances concerning tne
90, 900, these jobs were filled, despite tne
prevailing unemployment, either pc
cause native labor could not perform
the work required Of them, or preferred
other varieties of employment.
Farm help, for instance, CANNOT Wo.k
competently in the factories, nor 40
industrial workers care to work on the
farms, and so seasonal vacancies IN potn
yocations are in many cases supplied py
willing outlanders. Thus 1t can reaouy
be seen that the displacement OF ma
tive labor by foreigners In Switzerland Is
a condition for which we ourselves are
to blame.

BRITISH NOBLEMAN DISPERSES HOUNDS
 BECAUSE OF COST

LONDON, April 25.-Firty fine ladies and gentlemen of dogdom, the artistocratic Linton beagles, must go the way of much of the tinSel that adorned Victorian Eng lanad.
 One of the npo5t5 famous packs of hounds in Britain since 1888, when Lord Cornwallis brought them together, they are being dis banded because Lord Cornwallis says he no longer can maintain them.
 In the latter part of the war Lord Cornwallis had the pack sent ito Salonika, where officers of the 28th Division in the Struma valley hunted with them. Once the Bul- gars sheMsd the hunt, thinking the proceedings evidence of an im- pending cavalry charge.
 Another time the hounds ran a fox into the enemy lines. The officers, of course, did not follow and thought the hounds lost. Some time later, however, they re- turned, none the worse for their experience
 Lord Cornwallis himself was master of the hunt until two years ago when his eldest son, Captain Stanley Cornwallis succeeded him.
