A cable message states that the New! Zealand Government office in Sydney is seizing the holiday season to interest intending trippers. If is applying modern publicity methods to turn their eyes towards the Dominion. Three thousand spectators in the Town Hall list night saw a film depicting New Zealand’s natural wonders, with from Maori life: also river, lake and sea fishing. The Government agent is warmly to be commended for an excellent display. In these modem times, when almost Everybody has a car, and those who haven’t one are going to get one, it is not surprising that there should be a quest for a better means of keeping up the appearance of the vehicles. The old method of applying paint and var nish has caused dissatisfaction with many from the owners of the lordly Rolls-Royce type to the humble and serviceable Ford. In consequence of ; this, various experiments have been made to find a better way, and as a result the wonderful Duco process has 1 been evolved. Duco was not on the market long before its value was ap- ■ preciatcd. and in the cities it gave a ' fatal knock-out to the old system of < the brush. For full particulars of this wonderful new method of painting and varnishing consult the Dispatch Foundary

He considers smoking may be actuallv beneficial under the . proper conditions. His advice to smokers is: “Select a brand that while satisfying your ‘tobacco hunger’ ,is yet practically free from nicotine. ’ But it is not alwavs easy to find such tobaccos. However, we certainly have them right here in New Zealand. They are grown and the leaf is cured and manufactured for the ma ket within the Dominion. In fart, tobacco culture and manufacture now j constitute one of our most promising industries. Moreover, our New Zealand grown tobaccos are ? 0 pure and relatively so free from nicotine tha* they quite fulfil the Italian specialist' conditions. They may be obtain- i from any tobacconist.
