A Real “Man’s Meal” — Appetising, Invigorating and Muscle Building!

fort of the latest car is on view. But a feature of this section is perhaps the trailer caravan or the car cruiser. So light, yet smartly designed in oval fashion, is this caravan which is indeed the last word in motor touring. It comprises of two rooms and resembles the cabin of a most palatial pleasure launch. It sleeps f ur and is fitted with every camp accessory. Wardrobes, wash-up basins, yes-, evorything that makes comfort on a camping holiday. All indicates progress, which is realised fully when one comes upon the stall occupied by an airway company. Here is a new and cheap method of travel. One takes up a pamphlet and learns of the importation of a new three-seater plane, now stationed at the Mangere Airdrome, for air taxi work. Then there are the schools exhibits, needle work, paintings, drawings, handwriting, even intricate mechanical drawings. They form a great array and spell much for the future of the young New Zealander. ABUNDANCE OF MUSIC Music —one hears it nearly everywhere. Gramophones and wireless. One lingers awhile to listen to the latest recording and the latest tune. There is quite an eager tapping of feet/ so many would like to convert the place into a dance hall, but that

can not be done. There are too many visitors and they surge about to admire the machines. And nere are some pianos. They are indeed stately instruments, and all their dignity is enhanced by the surroundings. Now to the exhibits of home cooking where wistful boys press their noses to the wire-netting which guards the tempting displays. There is no lack of novelty. One gets a pungent smell which floats down the alley-way. Here is the cheese and butter in mass. From all parts of the province it has come and is of the finest quality. Nearby are the rows of pots and bottles of fam and honey, the quality and colour of which is commented upon an discussed by the band of home-makers and experts which stand about. At the end of this shed one comes to a magnificent display by the Department of Agriculture. Here one learns that experts have discovered sodium chlorate to be a great weedkiller, epecially ragwort. And there, standing majestically among all the display of fruits, vegetables and wool is a huge piece of kauri. Its numerous rings indicates its old age even back to the fourteenth century. There is a large niodel of a shearing shed and sheep yards. One is attracted by the barking of dogs and in the adjoining shed are the rows of kennels. Yelping and

dancing about are a varied collection of breeds, all so neatly groomed. Spaniels, bulldogs, French bulldogs (so rare in New Zealand), whippets, setters, collies, and many others. A little girl puts her hand on the head of an ugly bulldog. Onlookers appeared disturbed, but it is so unnecessary, for the animal appeared to delight in it, and simply wagged his big head slowly. There is more music floating down the wide corridors, but the visitor passes on. There are the baconcuring processes, and further on, one is again among some machinery. A fussy ngine is running and men from the land discuss its merits. There are many things there, all for the home and the farm, and adding to comfort and convenience. Here is a competitio?- and what is it all about? There are many articles of lurniture • all reed loom work and spun from wood pulp. It provides a m. interesting sections and a growing New Zealand industry. But the competitiou? It is to guess the number of strands of loom in the cjiair. Cigarettes are displayed everywhere, and at one of these stalls, and a most elaborate one indeed, is a small moving picture, showing continuously, which shows the opening of Parliament in Wellington. In another corner is a stall occu-

pied by the Auckland Sunday School Union and another by the Women's Institute, while suddenly, one is confronted with a great range of nursery products. Yes, this is were Auckland scores on the other provinces, and there is a great array of flowering shrubs and many varieties of plants. LIKE CHRISTMAS One can only be amazed by all the displays—and they are not arranged in monotonous fashion. It is difficult to realise what can really be made from leather until one stall is visited. Here there is a great range of small goods of which the Canadian moccasins catch the eye immediately. He who intends to build a home can find an interesting section. There is something that will interest everybody. There is a model house and a host of plans which he may peruse, while quite close at hand one can gather how useful are the various New Zealand woods in the making of furniture. A show of artificial flowers provides a blaze of colour. There is a mild.heat wave and one comes upon a grand display of electrical heating units, glowing through artificial red coals. Indeed a cosy display. One of the attractive features of the exhibition is the various courts, ar-

ranged by districts in the province. In the central hall, the Whangarei and Te Kuiti courts face one another. It would be difficult to imagine anything better. Every product produced in the respective districts is there, neatly displayed and providing a spectacle which could well be studied with admiration for many an hour. And so one finds his way down the colourful corridors of all that makes the Winter Exhibition a wonderland of achievement. And who could pass the thousand-and-one stalls without buying something?
