K-OFFICERS'
GRIEVANCES.
APPEAL TO THE GOVERNMENT.
The grievances of ex-officers were ventilated at a meeting held at Aus- tralia House recently when resolu Hons were passed calling upon the Government to give Government ap pointments to ex-officers, to deal in a more drastic manner with the weed- ing out of women in Government offices, to reorganise entirely the Ap pointments Department, and make it compulsory for all Government de partments to notify their vacancies to that department. The Govern ment was also called upon to enact Legislation compelling employers to reinstate their men at a fair increased wage to cover present cost of living. A letter was read from Sir Robert Horne pointing out that some of these proposals would require legislative action, although he was in sympathy with the aims of the Ex-f Officers' National Union, under whose auspices the meeting was called.
Major G. M. Horre, who presided, gaid that with regard to the proposal; for half-pay for officers while they were unemployed, Sir Robert Horne was of opinion that-it would tend to encourage demobiiised officers to remain unemployed-(laughter)- and to refrain from attempts to get employment. He maintained that the Government should spend in advertising for ex-officers as much money as they spent in getting ople to come out of civil employ- ent into the Army. (Cheers.) With egard to Civil Service appointments. the speaker contended that a man who had served in the field had qualified for the Civil Service, if he was decently educated. (Cheers.)
Captain R. Savage, who remarked that he had been a personal military secretary to Viscount Allenby.com. of the plained of the methods Labour Ministry. An officer who applied for

What the asked,
devil Каз have you come begging from the Government for?" ("Shame.") He protested, but the Ministry did not care a jot for his protest.. He was cross-examined like a pickpocket, Ex-officers were fed up with it, and they were going to skip it. (Cheers.) The Labour Ministry was wasting thousands by the incompetency of their officers.. The x-N.C.O. or man could be trusted. but the ex-officer could not That was the effect of Sir Robert tiorne's reply about half pay. He was sure the splendid men who had served under them would be the first to refute that calumny on their old officers. (Cheers.) At the. time of the strike they put their whole organisation at the disposal of the Government, and telegraphed to Sir Robert Horne to that effect. They had received a reply from the Prime Minister, but nothing from the Labour Ministry. They were all proud to have held the commission of such a man as the present King-

UALITY, in a tire is not appreciated until it asserts itself through long
continued trouble-free performance.
The gauge to this service is the mileage is discarded.
The notable achievement of nine stock tires which, put to official finish test by. the Automobile Club of America, averaged 6,700 miles, definitely established the un- usua quality of Vacuum Cup Tires.
The rainy day certified test of the Pitts- burgh Taxicab Company in which a heavy car equipped with Vacuum Cup Tires was driven around & wet corner at. 25 miles an hour without skidding-
total recorded when the casing finally
conclusively proved the guaranteed ability of the Vacuum Cup tread to resist skid- ding on wet, alippery pavements,
In addition to this proved driving safety and the mileage guarantee per warranty tag of 6,000 miles, Vacuum Cup Tires are reasonably priced. They cost approxi mately the same as ordinary 8,500 mile tires, and much less than other makes carrying equal mileage surety.
