Mith mingled sensations of pride and responsibility, the editor replied that he was glad to see that the man felt the call of duty. “Oh, it isn’t that,” answered the man, “but I’d rather be shot than try to set any more of your copy!” “We are told, and 'it -is a fact which seems universally acknowledged, that our safety lies in increased production,” said Sir James Wilson, at the Science Congress at Palmerston North yesterday, “yet while this advice is given on all hands, ii seems as if wc all thought that the ‘other fellow’, ought to act upon it.
