MIGRANT FAMILY OF 10. LONDON, Sept. ft. A record in family migration to Non Zealand is believed to have been creatd by a married couple and their M children who recently arrived at Auckland from this country. The family, which hailed from a tarm in County Antrim, was only 1/ strong when it sailed from Liverpool. The 16th member, a boy, was born shortly before their steamer, the Itimu--1 taka, passed Pitcairn Island, in the Pacific Ocean. The cost of the voyage for the entire family, under the assisted emigrant scheme, was only £22. On arriving at Auckland, tile father was given £5, collected by “‘some Canterbury admirers,” who had hoard of the family's coming. Fifty-two Scottish boys have been provisionally approved by Mr Richard

Linton, fnunder of (lie Big Brother movement to encourage British boys to emigrate to Australia, as prospective members of the first contingent of youthful emigrants. IF finally accepted, they will join a party of 250 Little Brothers sailing on November 3. AT'STRIA’S 1? E-BIRTH PANGS. VIENNA, Sept. t. Efforts to make Austria solvent, which are much encouraged l>y the fact that the Andrian crown is steadily improving and is now four times the value of the German mark, involve such severe taxation that several thousand business men have attended a meeting of protest at the town, all against what was described as the pp!:ticnl dictatorship of the workman. One small shopkeeper was stated, as a typical case, to have been assessed at 17.384,900 crowns for 1922, having paid only 41.800 in 1921. Dismissed officials were stated to be acting as spies and causing business men to be assesed arbitrarily and extravagantly.
