CONGRATULATIONS

CHILD WELFARE j -We wish to congratulate the Auckland branch very heartily on having inaugurated what appears to have been a very useful and successful week’s conference on Child Welfare," \ says the annual report of the Welling- j ton branch of the N.C.W. "The excel- j lent work done is shown by the pam- i phlet issued later, containing addresses ! on all subjects relating to child wei- \ fare, by some of the leading experts ! of the Dominion. It was a very tine piece of work, and we hope that other centres may later follow the splendid lead in this direction given by Auckland." Girl factory workers were among the volunteers who rushed from various parts of London ip a vain effort to save the life of a patient in St. Andrew’s Hospital, Bromley-by-Bow, by blood transfusion. There was a broadcast appeal from 2LO during the luncheon hour for volunteers, but the patient, Mr. Henry Gilham, aged 40. of Manchester Road, Cubitt Town, E., died before the arrival of the first volunteer, who reached the hospital within ten minutes of the broadcast. AVithin an hour of the broadcast 45 volunteers had offered their services. The gaily-clothed man has already arrived in Sydney. He was seen in Martin Place a few days ago, says an exchange. The suit was of a light brick-dust red, with hat of a still more pronounced colour, and carrying a blood-red band. His boots were light tan. No woman in the' gayest of gay clothes received more attention from passers-by, or was responsible for more cricked necks than this gay young man. And, though his taste was variously commented upon, there was a feeling that liis colour scheme was more in keeping with the sunny Australian climate than the drab navy blues so much worn.
