BUTTER BOUNDARIES. GROWING SALES OF EMPIRE IMPORTS. SMALL PRODUCT OF HOME FARMS. Sales of Empire butter have gone up with remarkable swiftness, and are still rising, states the Empire Marketing Board in The Demand for Empire Butter (published by the Stationery Office at These and other facts are based on information collected by means of personal visits from nearly 3,000 shops in Great Britain. The inquiry was carried out in 18 large towns, and was estimated to cover a population of 12 millions.

The survey suggests that housewives in different of tho country prefer different types of butter, even to the extent of paying 2d. or 3d. per lb. extra for their choice. HOUSEWIVES' WIDE CHOICE.

Over three-quarters of the rise in butter imports since 19'i3 is accounted for by increased imports from within the British Empire. The outstanding feature of the butter trade during the past few years has been the rapid rise of New Zealand as a source of supply, 'lhis Dominion now sends us 20 per cent, of our total imports, whereas before the war the proportion was very small. Australia, too, has been steadily gaining ground, and now sends us 12 per cent, of our imports. A fow years ago South Africa entered the field, and shipped about last year. Tho Irish Free State supplies about 9 per cent.

Altogether oversea Empire countries supply just under half oui total requirements of butter. This proportion is steadily rising. If home production is added, Empire and foreign supplies are just about balanced. Consumption of butter in the United Kingdom has risen remarkably since 1913. Wo now absorb no less than 2,250,000 cwts.

more every year than we did before tho war. Nearly half this increase is accounted for by imports from New Zealand. Last year the United Kingdom imported 6.500,000cwt5. Home production is estimated at about LOCAL PREFERENCES. Empire butter has made much more headway in the South than in tho North.

The North Country housewife often prefers foreign butter because she is accustomed to the cask-shaped blocks, or kiels," in which it is displayed in the shops Empire butter, which arrives in boxes, adorns the window in a less popular shaped square block. The shops in the North in which Empire butter featured were- largely branches of national chainstores. Glasgow and Edinburgh are as far apart in their habits and customs as they are close together on the map. This difference even extends to their tastes in butter. Packeted butters, the survey states, are remarkably popular in Edinburgh, but in Glasgow they are seldom seen.

Farm butter is tho most expensive type in Glasgow, but the cheapest in Edinburgh. Sales of packeted butter are generally very much smaller than those of bulk, but dairies, in particular, sell large quantities and often stock no other kind. The investigators camo across no less than 58 different brands of packeted (usually blended) butter. Ukrainian butter (the cheapest of all) was stocked at the time of tho survey by one largo multiple firm with branches all over the country. Butter from Argentina is concentrated round London and Birmingham; from Siberia in Birmingham and Bristol: from Sweden and Finland in tho North; and from Holland and France in London.

Homo farm butter, the survey shows, is the most expensive and is retailed mostly in the country districts. Little of it is brought into tho big cities included in tho survey.

SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS. Mr. T. Greenland Davies, H.M. Inspector of Mines for tho Northern Division, in his annual report gives an interesting account of tho trials made by tho inspectors of fire-damp detecting miners' safety lamp invented by Professor W.

M. Thornton, ot Armstrong College, Newoastle. The trials were very satisfactory, and various deputies and other mine officials who have used tho lamp from timo to time have had no difficulty in its manipulation. Tho lamp looks like an ordinary portablo electric safety lamp. There is, however, in addition to tho lamp bulb filament a heated platinum wire.

Tho wires are so adjusted that they aro equally bright when no gas is present, but when there is fire-damp this finds access to the hot platinum wire through gauzes fixed to the top of the lamp glass and burns on its surface, making it brighter. The resistance in the lamp bulb circuit is then reduced until the two filaments are equally bright; thus tho amount of gas present is estimated by the degree of brightness of the lamp, and can be measured on a scale marked round the case. BRITISH ART BEST IN THE WORLD." SIR JOSEPH DUVEEN OFF TO AMERICA. Sir William Llewellyn, P.P.A., and Sir Joseph Duveen, who sailed from Southampton for Now York in tho White Star liner Olympic, were exceedingly interested in the paintings whioh have been hung in the ship for the last few voyages. Tho idea of liner exhibitions," Sir William said, "is one which 1 think might well be developed, for in England galleries are getting fewer and fewer.

Liners would be invaluable for modern works, which can bo easily covered by insurance." Sir Joseph Duvccn said that there was a growing interest in aTt. People," ho said, are beginning to realise that we have in England a school as great as any in tho in mj opinion. 'Flic standard of art is also higher thar it has ever been before." Sir William Lewellyn is to attend the centenary celebrations of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Magistrate: Yes, we have no doubt you could, I but we don't want to hear it." Echoes from Town. The Liberal Beauty Immaculate Male Trade Disputes Bill- utS I LONDON, Thursday.

Mr. Lloyd George must have been quite as well prepared for the loss of his very efficient Chief Whip as he was for the publication of Sir John Simon's letter to him. Sir Robert Hutchison has for long been chafing Against a policy which forced him into a lobby in support of a Government of which he quite evidently disapproves most emphatically. It ia consequently faur to say that tho rift in the Liberal Party has in no wise been widened by the present disclosures; it lias only been made more apparent. Whether the publicity now given to the split will make it easer or more difficult for Mr.

Lloyd George to close up his ranks again remains to be seen. Much will depend upon tho ohoioo of Sir Robert's successor, which at present appears to lie between Sir Archibald Sinclair and Mr. Ernest Brown. Sin- Archibald kia much tact, and he could certainly exert his influenco upon such truant members as Sir Donald Maclean, but it is another matter whether he wouid care to accept the duty. Mr.

Brown, on the other hand, would thoroughly enjoy tho task of being chief disciplinarian, but it is doubtful whothor his tactics might not tend to increase the 6pirit of revolt which already exists. Party unanimity is certainly not likely to bo restored in time for tho division on tho Education Bill tomorrow night. THE ONLY COURSE. Sir Robert Hutchison's resignation is more serious from the personal than tho political point of view. Hutoh has never pretended to bo much of a politician, though his views arc clear enough and emphatically sated.

His value to tho party has been as a link between its different sections in tho House. I doubt if any other man could have prevented them separating even more than they have done. He has taken his failures with cheerful good humour in the face of discipline, but, since ho had to be guilty of it himself, he took tho only course open to him. If Dr. Hunter had been in his usual health ho would probably have succeeded to the post.

EFFECT ON GOVERNMENT. Ministerial uneasiness may well bo increased by tin Liberal dissensions. In view of Sir John Simon's letter, it must bo clearer than ever to tho Government that tho Trades Disputes Bill, if they go on with it, will bo critical for them. Added to tho differences on unemployment policy and thoso on have still to measure may be fatal. Ministers had hoped that they would bo allowed to postpone it again, but their hand has been forced by the Trades Union Congress and tho party conference, and they will go into a light for which they have little heart.

Their experience when tho Act of 1927 was passed tells them that, the officials of the trade unions are vocal in their demands for the Bill, the rank and file have little- interest in the subject. FRENCH ARMY CHANGES. The reduction in strength of the French army from 816,000, the pre-war figure, to is an indication that the French nation ero prepared to do their utmost towards reducing armaments. ITo man her frontier in case of attack, a minimum of 300,000 men is required, yet of this total of 556.000, 108,030 alone are professional soldiers, and 80,003 aro attached to auxiliary services which do not train with warlike weapons. Apart from the professional soldiers, all French soldiers from this week onwards are conscripted for one year only, and this new short-service system necessitates their being subjected to intensivo training, whereby they lack usual army routine, such as camp end barrack life.

Distinguished military critics believe that the new scheme will not creato an efficient reserve, foT tho change from three years' service to one year is too drastic. But it is a gesture towards poaco that other conscript nations might weli follow. BOOTLEGGING WHEAT. Canada now has her bootleggers. They do not bootleg alcohol, but wheat.

Tho term bootleggers is being applied to the increasing number of farmers who are in revolt against tho grain pools, to which they aro bound by agreements to soil all their crops. Instead of carrying out these agreements, under which tho farmers receive a payment on account, and have to wait more than a year for final settlements, the bootleggers are selling their farms to wives, sons, and even daughters, who then sell the I pools for cash. to I Ono farmer in 0 I wealthiest man in tho inff if I that ho owns no land, but tho paid manager of his wife. be 1 creases, the future of the pools tW HUNT-RS SELL WELL. if In spite of all tho reports pression was making hunting ha 3 for many keon sportsmen, there noticeable diminution in tho lZ ice s- I opening moots this week.

What is the origin of the word "schooner?" The question is suggested by an anecdote told in i Rear-Admiral Gerard Wells's very entertaining book. 41 Naval Customs and Traditions."

As 6he left tho ways, a bystander cried: "Oh! look, how sho scoons!" On which "Robinson said, A schooner let her be." I And she was.
