Bashful sun-oathers will welcome the latest invention of a German scientist. This man, Herr Skaupy, claims to have invented a fabric through which these timid worshippers of the sun may absorb the health-giving ultra-violet rays of the sun and acquire a coat of tan without displaying their forms to the gaze of the multitude. Herr Skaupy would have this fabric through which the ultra-viole: rays are supposed to penetrate readily, cut into small rectangles, and pieced together with ordinary cloth material, to make jumpers and pyjamas. To ensure warmth in cold weather, two of those suits could bo worn without lessening the beneficial effect of the sunlight. In spite of their lack of resistance to the ultra-violet rays (these suits would be absolutely nontransparent. Should this fabric prove the claims of its inventor, it should bo highly popular in Germany, as the sun cult has the country in its grip. This is demonstrated by the many special sun roofs along bathing beaches and the sun-baking areas on top of private houses in all the big cities.

The week-end programme of the Tararua Tramping Club included two-trips —one to the Putangirua Pinnacles, in the Cape Palliser district, and the other into the Tararuas from Levin. The former is rather an expensive outing, but it nevertheless proved a strong attraction, as only five members undertook the Tararua journey. Included in thig number wore two ladies. The party left the Pipe Bridge, for what is known as the round trip, at 3.55 p.m. on Saturday. They stayed the night at the Waiopehu Hut, which they left early on Sunday morning, travelling via Mt. Waiopehu, Twin Peak and Gable End to the Black water Forks, which they reached at 12.15. The trampers were above the clouds during their traverse of the high country. The plains were covered as with a sea, above which the main range towered, the whole presenting a wonderful Bight. One of those who made the trip was Mr T. R. Smith, chief guide of tho Tararua Club. He was with the combined party from the three clubs— Tararua, Levin and Manawatu—on their excursion into the ranges last April, and was greatly impressed with the possibilities of united outings. It is hoped that it will be possible in the present season to arrange another combined trip, the scope of which is a matter for consideration by the clubs concerned

Even non-smokers must admit that to I) acco is a splendid disinfectant. It was proved to bo so in 1665 —the year of the great plague in England, and doctors to-day consider it invaluable in warding off infection. But it is in times of mental stress that so many rely on it. Every smoker knows how comforting it is in time of trouble. Inferior brands however are best avoided and it should of course be as free from nicotine as possible. The American tobaccos, by the way, are all loaded with nicotine. Our New Zealand brands (exclusively manufactured by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd-, pioneers of the N.Z. tobacco industry) on the other hand contain surprisingly little, because they are all toasted, and that kills the nicotine and renders them harmless, no matter how freely you indulge. And sweeter, cooler, or more fragrant tobaccos than thotc money cannot buy. Ask your tobacconist (or any tobacconist) for Kiverhead Gold (mild and aromatic);- Cavendish (famous sporting, mixture, medium; Navy Cut (a delightful blend, medium); or Cut Plug No. 10 (rich, dark and fullflavoured). —70,*
