WHAT'S IN A NAME
, The "mbarrassment that results from the fact that two members of Parliament rejoice in the same name was xc-
ferred to by the Leader of the Oppoiition (Mr." H. E. Holland) in the HouM of Representatives last night. "I want to suggest," said Mr, Holland, "that there are legal proceMei by which names might be altered, and I would recommend that course to mjr friend from Christchurch North (Mr. H. Holland). I think he will agree; that I have first claim. I remember once going to Paltnerston North and finding myself advertised as the Mayor lof Christchureh. The hon. member tor Christchurch North has even been mil-' taken for me occasionally." "' Mr. J. S. Diekson (Parnell): "That'f unfortunate for him." Tho Leader of the Opposition: *'l never contemplate taking action . for libel on that account, no matter hoir good the grounds might be." ■;'■_'
