women's Hairdressing.

"In 1929 there were only about 15 women's hairdressing shops in Auckland city and suburbs, and the chargo for a permanent wave was from £3 '3/upward," said Mr. W. E. Anderson, secretary of the Auckland Employers' Association, during the hearing of the liairdressers' dispute in the Arbitration Court. "There are now 186 sueh establishments in the area, and prices range from 10/- upwards," he added. "There must be a lot more permanent waves,'' remarked Mr. Justice O'Regan. "Advantages of an Earthquake." "Coming through Timaru I couldn't help thinking that if all tlie people quietly got out of the fown a good earthquake miglit be the makings of it," remarked Mr. T. D. Burnett, M.P. at Cave wlien a questiouer at a public meeting connected witli tbe tunnel road project asked him how the tunnel would fare if there was an earthquake. Mr. Burnett said that but tor the unfortunate people who were killed, an earthquake had been a blessing to Napier-; it was now remc-delled on modern lines. Boutli Canterbury was really outside the seismic zone, and anyway, progress could not be lield up because earthquakes might occur. Park Sports Cround, After being closed for two years, during which the whole area was ploughed up and grass resown, the sports, ground at Cornwall Park was brought into nse again ea Saturday afternoon when cricketers took charge. From the players' viewpoint the area was not particularly satisfactory3 the wickets being too soit and the outfields also inclined to be spongy. However it is anticipated that a big improvement will be noted within the next few weeks as the result of the thordugh soaking that was given during the week-end bringing about a consolidation of the newlyiaid turf. It is hoped that the lieavy roller will be brought into action to obtain the maximum benefit from the falls of rain. The new pavilion at the park was not ready for occupation on Saturday, this work not bemg quite completed.
