SPANISH INFLUENZA. This dangerous malady has already reached America; and it may "be in New Zealand later on. A sure preventive is "Fluenzol." Use daily and cheek the development of incipient Influenza bacilli. Insist on Fluenzol, 1/6 and 2/6. .5

LEFT VERSUS RIGHT. A MOTORING CON VERS ATIONTHE COMING OF THE LEFTHAND DRIVE. "Isn't she a dandy little car?" said the Man at the Wheel enthusiastically to his friend the Passenger. They were gliding along the main town road, 1 steering for the open country. "I bought her on my last furlough at Home, and through being an officer of the N.Z.E.F., I was specially favoured with a brand-new advance model." "But, good gracious, man, you have a left-hand drive. How long has that been the fashion in England?" "It's the coming fashion, my boy; in a year or two there'll be more 'left drives' than 'rights.' After all, everything that can be said in favour of the. old style can be said for the new, and a few otheY points besides." " I don't .quite see how the left-hand drive harmonises with the rule of the load, 'keep to the left.'" "That's because you're blinded by custom. Just think—if you're 1 seated on the left of tho car you can see exactly how much roadway you have, on your own side; you can watch the kerb-' ing and the edge of the road; and if the man you're passing does the same, the two cars have all the available space in which to pass. Doesn't that seem reasonable?"

"Yes; I must confess that it does. But what would happen when passing in a narrow road, if you had to closely watch the other fellow's car?" .. i "Well, you can do it as well whcu seated on the left as on the right. Sit in my- place here for a moment; is thei« anything to block your view of approaching traffic ? You can watch another car's approachandjudgeexactlyofyourability to pass by safoly. And all the time you have the advantage of seeing the edge of your own side of the road—and that's a big convenience pretty often, I can tell you. Another thing, I still operate the. control levers with my right hand, and what's the result? Why, I have my left hand always upon the wheel; and that means having the right hand in the right place. In fact, it's really the natural way of handling a car; it's not only theoretically right, but—it works. All American cars are designed and built for left-hand drive, and I believe the idea-is spreading in England, judging by this ear of mine. If you watch motor car development in the nearfuture, you'll find more and more cars coming along with left-hand drives. Mine isn't the only one about at the present time; but before long this leftdrive car will be lost in the crowd of similar styles. . . Here's a big truck coming watch how easily we'll. go by. . . Raw, what could be better than that?"
