Captain G. J. Adams, K.A.M.C. (Patea and Foxton), has transferred to the N.Z.M.C. Captain Adams has done a great deal of special work as a bacteriologist, and at the end . of last year was -appointed Pathologist and Bacteriologist at Ripon. Previously he was on the medical staff of No. 26 General Hospital, Etaples. . The passing of a young- Gallipoli veteran named Colin Travers brings out the fact that he lost his Btripes in Egypt through inventing a practical joke (says a .Sydney paper). Marching .his squad along the road one day he 'noticed an A.S.C, waggon loaded with beer approaching. He promptly halted his men, formed them up, and as the beer went past it got a royal salute. But a staff-officer who saw the incident adopted the Harold Begbie attitude and reduced the joker to the, ranks. He's now in a world where maybe playfulness is less fatal. ""I think-'the easiest way to sell - propefty is to *let a man do his own business,'' was the statement of a witness, a land agent's salesman, during the hearing of an action at the Supreme Court, Auckland, concerning a property exchange deal. The Judge, Mr Justice Hosking, was questioning witness as to what services he and, his employer had rendered to justify the payment of both parties of commission aggregating several hundred pounds. His Honor stated that the evidence showed that the agent had merely introduced the two paities, and hia paleoman had gone out with them when' they viewed the properties. It was admitted by the agent that it was his practice not to advise clients in an exchange transaction as to the values of the respective properties, a matter it seemed to him, in which they most required the benefit of the land agent's skill and experience. He failed to see libw under such circumstances land agents earned their commission. ;
