It would be impossible within the space available at the Winter Exhibition to ivmke a very comprehensive display, but the instruments shown are sufficient to indicate the high quality and service which have built the envied reputation of this creditable musical organisation. One must admire the Williams Plaola, which experts have pronounced to be superior to anything in the realm of player pianos. The famous Chappell, England's supreme p\ano, takes pride of t>lace, while the latest model baby grand Bechstein cannot iai\ to interest visitors. Lewis R. Eady and Son, Ltd., are also distributors of Conn bftnd instruments, which include the high-grade saxophones. The gramophone department is not neglected and in these days of greater gramophone competition it is always refreshing to listen to the outstanding "His Master's Voice," which has never been superseded, although the Chappell Cliftophone, created by the famous Chappell Piano firm, is also a gramophone of the highest class. Ukuleles and steel guitars also take their place and Mr. Bisliaw, an expert, expounds their virtues. Radio devotees will also be interested for a special section of the exhibit is given to the foremost American wireless, the single-dial " Crossley," which, in the words of dealers, sells itself. There are many owner-fans in New Zealand to whom the " Crossley" is a constant joy.

MOTORING ACCESSORIES.

"NEW DEVICE TO TACKLE BOGS. Several new devices which many motorists will find particularly useful are on 'view at the stand of the New Zealand Motor Equipments Company, a new concern which has an office in City Chambers, Queen Street, Auckland. The accessories sic made locally and are the inventions of Australian.

The new Log extractor consists of a specially prepared section of thick tyre tread through which is firmly spliced a short rope. A strap holds the rope to the wheel of the car and the attachment should he both simple to fix and efficient in operation. Three extractors are recommended for each driving wheel. Tt is claimed that the device is more effective than chains. A spring to stand a strain of 2001b. and a strong hook arc the main components of the new luggage fasteners for use on the running boards. The hook is attached to the under-side of the running board and the spring enables a strap to be fastened quite taut, thus holding the luggage tight against any vibration. The spring takes up very little room and practically any size of strap can be used, according to the luggage. The third invention demonstrated is a signalling hand for attachment to the rear of the car and operated by a bowden wire running from the driving seat. —from the steering pillar or anywhere within convenient reach. The hand carries a red reflector for use at night and it signals in three positions to indicate right or left turn or stop. The device is substantially niade and should be trouble-free. . The inventions of the New Motor Equipments Company are being distributed throughout the Dominion,

Eight of the latest models of electric ranges are erected on a raised platform so arranged that each or any can be connected to the electric supply at a moment's notice. Above them is placed a screen on the right of which a big screen clock flashes ever-changing slogans. On the left of the screen a meter with an extended hand passing round a scale calibrated in proportionate costs of electrical units shows the cost of each cooking operation, tho particulars of which are indicated on a menu board centrally placed. The demonstrations are conducted by a staff of ladies daintily garbed in smocks of royal blue and grey. Their happy faces testify to the enjoyment experienced bv those who cook electrically.

UNBREAKABLE DENTURE. For many years scientists all over the world have been experimenting to discover a material to replace vulcanite in the manufacture of artificial dentures. Certain properties present in vulcanite were found to be undesirable, but, as nothing better was then offering, it had to be universally adopted. All the defects of vulcanite, such as fragility, unnecessary thickness and bulk, porosity, fit, comfort, and, above all, artificial appearance, have now been quite eliminated by an entirely new medium called Hecolith.

The new composition has a pinky, clean appearance and is lighter than vulcanite. It is said to retain its suction power for a long period and to be thoroughly hygienic. Dentists' Supplies, Limited, is a new company recently formed with a capital of £15.000 to market Hecolith in New Zealand.
