READER'S IDEA
l • Tool From Valve SPARK PLUGS WON "F. 8." (Bluff) sends us the idea . which we illustrate for making a valve grinding tool from an old valve. This tool can be used for Fords and all cars which use valves with the two holes m the head. I
The idea should be quite clear from the sketch and consists of an old valve cut off short and squared at one end. Two pins are fitted into the holes m the head and as these are a standard distance apart - the tool will then fit all the valves on the ■■ car. . ■ v .-■■:,■ The tool can /be used m an ordinary brace where this can be got into position, but when the valve is difficult to reach, a key can be fitted to the squared part and. used m this way. > It happens that the same idea lias been sent to us by "E.C." (Has- \ tings), but he does not mention the squaring of the spindle. We are therefore sending the plugs to "F. 8." whose ;idea is more complete.
"Is smoking injurious?" Dr. Giotti, the famous Italian nerve specialist, says it entirely depends on'' the tobacco. He states that many of the well-known American brands arc so rich m nicotine that they are' best avoided, because their constant use is bound to cause nerve trouble. He considers smoking- may be actually beneficial under the proper conditions. His advice to smokers is: "Select a brand that while satisfying your 'tobacco -hunger* is yet practically free from nicotine." .But it is not always easy to find such tobaccos. However, we certainly have them right here m New Zealand. : They are grown and the leaf is. cured arid manufactured for the market within: the Dominion. In f'actV tobacco 'culture and manufacture now. constitute one .' of our most promising: industries. Moreover, our New Zealand-grown tobaccos are so pure and relatively so free from nicotine that they quite fulfil the Italian spe- . cjalist's conditions. They, may be obtained from any tobacconist. . Ask for ''River-head; Gold,' 1 mild;- "Navy Cut. (Bulldb|?)', I nSecli'Um; or "Cut Plug No. 10" '(Bullshead), full strength.*
