A Wellington lady has reason to re- , gret her confidence in human nature, j She motored through to the Tauhereni-1 kau races, and' was so impressed with} the appearance of a certain horse, that j she decided to invest £5 on it. She ; asked a passing soldier if he would • kindly invest her money on the machine * He agreed, and marched off to the window with the £5. That waS the lastthat- was seen of him. The horse won,: and the dividend represented over £bo.v Marion Shaw a single woman, aged' 32, was burned. at Tauwhare through her clothes catching fire while washing. She was taken to the Waikato' hospital and died on Monday night. A message from Rotorua states that it is intended to immediately provide accommodation for an additional 100 men at King George V. Hospital for Soldiers, Pukeroa, by the erection of two detached wards. With reference to the recent announcement that 10,000 Australian soldiers had been returned to the Common- j wealth without seeing the firing line, a correspondent of the "Wanganui ■ Herald" forwards the following sen- . tences extracted from a letter written by a New Zealand medical officer stationed on Salisbury Plain with reference to the New Zealand drafts: "A great percentage of unfits among the older members. Men over 35 years of age, are as a rule, unable to stand the training and campaigning unless previously engaged in open air occupations and of athletic tendency. As the. age reaches ' the 40's the percentage of final passes ' drops considerably—so much so that the latter are certainly not worth the expense of training ,equipping, etc. ? The great detracting feature is that Jhese men occupy the attention of dot tors, hospital apace, etc., and instead of being an asset in the balance of power, are a decided liability." "Is this," asks the correspondent, "what some of our men are breaking up their iiomes fort'' '' I have gone into partnership with Harry Lauder, but it is'nt for profit," says .Charles Chaplin in the course of a personal letter to Mr W. Bariington Miller, of Sydney. Lauder is at present in Ameica, organising a millionpounds war relief fund. Being desirous of enlisting Chaplin's aid, the. Scotsman visited the screen star at his new studios at Hollywood, Los Angolos. It was there decided that the best!; method of helping the fund along would bo to produce a film comedy'with both Lauder and Chaplin in it. 'Tor two hours we worked before the camera oji an impromptu story that the staff diew up," writes the film comedian. "I had often laughed at Lauder in London a few years ago; Lauder said he has sometimes laughed at me since then, but neither of us had ever met or worked together before. ■ There is only one scene in the picture that we- did, and throughout most of it Lauder wore my make-up, while I danced ■ round in his kilts. But I know.l'm not a Scotsman, because T| can't roll my ' r 'b,' . The comedy will be released in America as a special feature, from which £200, 000 is the cxpected return. The whole of. this sum will go to" Lauder's war fund, together with the proceeds of the sale of 50,000 pictures of the two comedians taken together..
