Under the captions, “Joys and Bor- j : o-.vs of Motoring—-Vivid Glimpses of Uie Ter.-iole Conditions that Cars have to Contend With at the Other End of the Earth —Clay Roads and Flooded I’horoughi'ares of New Zealand,” the “sphere,” a London publication, has an it.ustrated page depicting trials of motorists in New Zealand. There is a picture of a car caught in a quicksand on the Ninety Mile Beach, allot er of a car partially submerged in a flood, the third showing deep ruts in a country road. The “Sphere” says, anent the pictures: “They are not reproduced because of pictorial cualitv, but of interest to travellers who intend going to New Zealand.” t adds : “The poverty of the country is largely responsible for the purely (lav tracks that take the place of roads in the desolate ulstricts outside the cities—tracks that are frequently impassable owing to heavy rain, which transforms them into something little better than bogs.” Finally, one picture is captioned: “The Onlv Road from Auckland to the South, which is Flooded during the Rainy Season.” It is apparent that some peop.e have not heard o ;l the concrete and bitumenised > oad.s which are being extensively made f r 'ughout the Dominion. Put Barraelougli’s Magic Nervine on that aching tooth, that’s all. 1/6. — Advt.
