HEADLIGHTS ON CARS

0 LARE-ELIMINATOR DUIVICT

DEM ONST RA TI ON AT HAWK HA

Demonstrations of the efficiency ol a recently invented new type of car headlight which is claimed to have decided advantages over the standard types were given by Mr. A. G. Shaw, the local distributor to a crowd of interested motorists at Unworn bust evening. Comparisons were made with standard types of headlights and the special features of the new device appeared to he that a flat-topped beam three chains wide is thrown to a height of from three feet to three feet six inches from the ground, and that dazzle is eliminated.

On n wet bitumen road the new lamps seemed to throw the centre ol the road into relief and provide a clear illumination. The width of the beam also had the advantage of a ditch light when cornering.

Mr. Shaw gave several driving tests -tender varying conditions and enumerated the various points of comparison.

Another feather in the eap of Mnoriland! This is probably the only cotin--11 \- in the world in which TOASTED tobacco (grown and manufactured in the Dominion) is manufactured. There is more to the toasting process than the uninitiated may imagine. It involves not only the use of a very special and elaborate plant, but demands highly skilled labour. However, the result justifies all the trouble and expense, because the toasting deprives the leaf of nearly all its nicotine, develops flavour and bouquet, and renders it perfectly safe to smoke, to any extent. This cannot he said of other tobaccos which retain all their nicotine, and are bound, sooner or later, to affect the health of the smoker. Those toasted tobaccos are produced by the National Tobacco Company, Ltd. (pioneres of the N.Z. tobacco industry). Popular brands: “Cut Plug No. 10’’ (the old smoker’s favourite, full flavoured; “Riverhead Gold’’ (mellow and mild); “Cavendish’’ (the sportsman’s smoke), and “Navy Cut No. 3” (a blend of choice leaf). 442
