The children gain through increased efficiency of staff, the teachers have increased scope, and the Department saves in expenditure. The idea is now past the experimental stage, and will soon be given effect to in New Zealand. Cold weather is coming. “Be prepared” with C. Smith's warm fleecy Wool Coats.

The question whether hedge-cutting is a hazardous employment as in the Workers’ Compensation for Accidents Act was involved in a claim heard at the Arbitration Court in Auckland last week. Arthur Morris claimed compensation from George Miller Johnston, solicitor. Plaintiff stated that while cutting defendant’s hedge a thorn ran into his left thumb and caused blood poisoning, as a result of which he had been totally disabled, and had since been unable to work. Counsel for the plaintiff contended that the work engaged in comes within the definition of hazardous callings, as specified by the Act. or alternatively comes within the definition of domestic service. Mr Justice Stringer decided that the work of cutting a hedge could not be classed as scrubcnt'ing, as defined in the Act under'hazardous employment; nor as a. domestic service. He held that plaintiff's case did not come within the provisions of the Act. and gave judgment for the defendant without costs.

Until lately the U.S.A. supplied NewZealand with three million pounds of tobacco per year. Now, however, New Zealand grows its own, and Gold Pouch Aromatic is the sweetest, coolest, and most distinctive tobacco you could smoke. Gold Pouch Aromatic has quite a different flavour because it contains only 1£ per cent, of nicotine as against 4 and 5 per cent, in imported tobaccos. This makes for health, since excess nicotine has a very bad influence on the heart. You should try Gold Pouch Aromatic — you should try it because ’tis pure, flavourous and free from bite, and in smoking it you will help the Empire.
