That there is more than one reason for being recognised by a magistrate was made evident at a public meeting in Christchurch last week, when Air. E. D.

Owing’ to the rough weather which prevailed at the opening of the whitebait season, poor catches were made on the West Coast and in C’antenbmry, says the Christchurch Times. Cor several weeks a heavy run of whitebait up the 'West. Coast rivers set at rest the fears of those who thought that the fish were becoming scarce, lieports from Kaiapoi state that •whitebaiting in the Waimakariri is very poor, and that the season is the worst that has been experienced for several years. The late spring and the cold water are blamed for the scarcity. In the Ashley the run has improved slightly during the past week, but it is not yet as good as the runs of the previous two or three seasons. The Stvx is yielding very little, and one whitebait fisherman said that it was not worth while trying to catch them in that river. In spite of the scarcity of the fish in the local rivers, the markets are being well supplied from the West 'Coast, where the run is now in full swing.

No gramophone records will be loaned to wireless {broadcasting stations by dealers or agents after November Ist, the position then being that stations will have to purchase the records at retail -rates. This decision, which .applies to both A and B class stations, was reached at a conference in Wellington of New Zealand representatives of the principal gramophone companies. The edict will be a severe blow "to t hose of the B class stations which arc not conducted by dealers and subsist on loaned records. In these cases the stations, which receive no revenue from license fees, will be practically forced “off the air.” The majority of the It stations, however, are conducted by dealers, this being the case in Wanganui, where there are'two. There are 23 B stations in New Zealand. Circulars prohibiting the lending", donating or selling at triple terms of records to 1 lie . slat ions ha ve been forwarded to agents throughout the Dominion.

Chinese fruiterers in Christchurch are generally of opinion ilial registration is unnecessary far llic.ni and that they should be allowed to trade under any name I bey may clfoose. The. ma tter of their registration was discussed at their lirsl annual conference of the newly-formed New Zealand Emit and Produce* Auctioneers' and importers' Federation, which Concluded I,‘ist week. The federation decided to approach the Government with a request, that, all Asiatics should be‘registered, and that it should bo a penal offence for them to change their name for purposes of trading. One Chinese fruiterer stated that there were several companies operating in various towns of New Zealand. Those companies should have their free choice of title, provided it; did not clash with any other name. The companies, which were conducted by Ohinese, generally employed Asiatic labour, as there was often some difficulty in Europeans understanding the speech of their employers. European (irms trading iu China did not always reveal names, and in some cases Europeans who were in business on their owu assumed Chinese names for trading purposes.

I saw on a barrow in the street some apples marked ‘New Zealand,’ and I bought some, remarking that J was a New Zealander. The man in charge said, •Well, I wish you would get them to grade the fruit better. Other apples l can put regularly at four to the pound. These are sometimes four and sometimes live, and that is inconvenient.”

“Many authorities agree that New Zealand's educational system has fallen behind those of other countries, and in some respects lamentably behind them,” stated Dr. •I. liight, Hector of Canterbury College, in the course of an address to the 'Canterbury School Committees’ Association (reports the Christchurch “Press”). Later, on the same point, he quoted from Dr. .J. Jb 'Condliffe’s “New Zealand in tin* .Making,” to this effect: “We may praise their consistency in adhering to their traditions.
