THE HARDEST JOB.

There are others who frankly admit NO PAY FOR THE PREMIER that a woman must remain on the straight and narrow path of con- vention or be socially ostracized for the slightest transgression.
In "Good Women," the new Robertson-Cole Super-Special pro- duction adapted to the screen from the story by C. Garnier Sullivan, the question of propriety and how necessary it is for a woman to guard her reputation, is carefully brought out. The new picture was directed by Gasnier, director of the master photoplay "Kismet" and, although a decidedly different type of film, is considered equally important and interesting by Gasnier.

Few people realise the enormous amount of toil and trouble involved in running the British Empire- which job is carried out by the Prime Minister.
When Parliament is in session, something like a thousand letters a day arrive at 10, Downing Street, the Premier's official residence; and though the majority of these are dealt with by his private secretaries, there are quite a con- siderable number that demand his personal attention.

NEW GUINEA,
GERMAN BRUTALITY
TO NATIVES.
"A Woman's Impressions of German New Guinea," by Lilian Overell (Bodley Head, 125, 6dl.), is all the more interesting because it records the smaller aspects and strange incidents of life in a country, which catch the eye of a woman but which most men would overlook or not trouble about.

The "Valentia" flying boat,with) two 350-h.p. Rolls-Royce Condor engines, made a satisfactory trail flight in the Solent of Bfteen minutes.

There was frequently an air of gloom about the settlers, who were waiting anxiously for the mandate to come through. They hoped England, not "Australia, would have it.
Of course Australia's claim was neverquestioned by the Mother- country, and the island is no longer German.

That sounds unmusical, howover, but to the car of an engineer the voice of a Rolls-Royce Condor is a very pleasing sound.
THE FLIGHT,
The "Valentia" in a flight was u cach sight worth seeing. Let reader try to imagine the swelling voice of the Condors as the throttle is opened, the bow wave growing broader and whiter as the boat gathers speed, the spray dashing up on each side of the bow and forming a mist which almost hides the boat from the eyes of those be-|· hind her. Flying boats are not designed to get off as quickly as aeroplanes. Why should they do so when the whole ocean is their aerodrome?
