Many people, hearing of the success of gag masks as a protection again poison gas, have been persuaded that they might be serviceable for purposes. That has been the case at Home and in America, with the result that technical papers have been at great pains to point out the folly of using gas for such purposes, and the positive danger to life that exists in trusting to such a form of protection. A paragraph was reprinted in these columns from an exchange recently in which it was said arrangements were being made by the Dunedin brigade to use the helmets. In the course of an article in the Journal of the National Fire Protection Association of October last* a writer says: This type of appliance cannot be looked upon as a substitute for self-contained breathing apparatus. This warning is all the more necessary as both the Army respirator and the Eeds helmet will stop smoke, and for that reason they would give a person ignorant of the real danger a feeling of security when entering smoky air. and thus add to the probability of his being overcome.”

WITH AN AVERY TRACTOR! Doing a tiling more quickly is a big factor in successful farming. If yon could cut down time in ploughing, discing, harrowing, drilling—if yon could run your farm with one man lees—then there would be a bigger bank balance waiting for you at the end of the year! To do field work more quickly, you simply have to do it with an Avery Tractor. Instead of putting two men with two teams to plough your land, put one man with an 8-16 H.P. Avery Tractor on tbe job. Tbe work will be done more quickly—more cheaply. And so with discing and every other operation—Avery means a saving in time—a saving in wages—a saving in every way. When the Avery is idle, it is costing nothing, and it ties up no tend for gracing. It’s "food" is Kerosene—and Kerosene is cheap! Tbe Avery Duplex Basifler converts it into powerful gae—a rich mixture that gives complete combustion with a minimum of carbon. Tbe 8-16 H.P. Model is ideal—there are sixes for all farms.
