[BOOMERANG

Mr. John Masefield, the. Poet Laureate, has returned to England from the Melbourne Centenary celebrations with a new hobby.

He was taught in Australla to throw the boomerang, that primi- tive curved, wooden weapon" of the Australian aborigines.

Mr. Masefield has brought back several boomerangs and intends to pursue the sport.

"I still stand well from under when delivering the boomering" he said, "but I am beginning to understand the use of the weapon, and hope to become proficient."
