TN her third talk Mrs.
Fisher reaches perhaps the crux of the problem tackled in her series, in facing the question, ' Why we pay rates.' She shows that besides the services which rates aid the taxes in supporting. there are also services from which some parts of the country benefit more than others, while others belong rather to the whole country. With regard to such questions as poor-relief m the new conditions of acute local unemployment in certain areas, and road repairing, it is very debatable whether they should be local or national burdens.

SCHUBERT'S SONGS
Sung by HELEN HENSCHEL (Soprano)
Mignon's Song, 'So lasst mieh scheinen ' (Thus let me seem)
Fischerweise (Fisher's Song) Am Strome (By the stream)
Auf dem Wasser zu singen (To be sung on the water)

Free have I lived from sordid care,
Yet have I known still sharper pain-The weight of age too soon to bear ; Make me for aye a child again !
In Fischerweise the fisherman gaily sings of his life, than which he could wish none better. On the quay he spies a maiden, angling in vain. ' You may as well give up your artful pranks, sly creature.' he thinks, ' 'you won't deceive the fish !
