At the Hospital Board Conference at Hawera, Air Murdoch Fraser (chairman of the Taranaki Hospital Board) said that the average age of the inmates of the Old People's Hume at New Plymouth was 83, and they had men up to 03. “The older they get, the stronger they get,” exclaimed the speaker.

One half of the world doesn’t know how the other half lives. The saying is as (rue to-day as it was when it was first written.

At a time when the increasing number of Hindoos in Auckland is giving rise to a great deal of discussion, it is interesting (says (lie N.Z. Herald) to know that a number of these residents arc just as eager to get away from this country as others are to prevent their entry. One of the officials of a well-known agency said that his firm had been trying for several months past to secure passages for half-a-dozen Hindoos who wished to return to India, but without success. “They are regular Ishmaelites,” he said. “Nobody seems to want them. They come in day after day to inquire if we can yet send them home, and one cannot help feeling sorry for them. None of the shipping companies will take them if they can got other passengers. Meantime, they are compelled to wait here, knowing themselves unwanted, but unable to get back to their native land.”
