A motorist from overseas whose car was landed from a steamer at Auckland last week was on the road within two hours and In the hands of the traffic officers half an hour later, according to an amusing letter received from him at a meeting of the council of the Auckland Automobile Association. In expressing thanks for the prompt manner In which a patrol had prepared the car for the road, the visitor said he had never received service as good in any of the 16 countries In which he had driven. It was reported unofficially that the action against the visitor for an alleged parking offence was likely to be dropped. Subject to the permission of the hospital authorities, the £IOO which was subscribed by l*w Zealand motorists In appreciation of his effort to arrest a men in a stolen motor car In Williamson Avenue will shortly be presented to Constable E. E. Stewart *t the institution. The constable, who was swept off the running board of the stolen car when it collided with another car at midnight on September 19, Is suffering from a broken leg, a broken thumb and abrasions, and Is likely to be some time In the hospital. Members of the council of the Automobile Association expressed the opinion last week that It would be preferable to make the presentation while the constable was still In the hospital. The practice among young womtn In offices and shops to wear coloured smocks as a sort of uniform has spread to the office staff of the Wanganui Hospital, and last week the girls were complimented by the Board on their smart appearance. A pleasing shade of primrose has been chi»en for the uniforms which have been supplied by the Board, but one young woman said there was no particular significance In the colour. A member of the Board smilingly suggested that thj secretary should go Into uniform. ■Yes," replied Mr Kerby, "Td chose singlets and shorts for the summer." The Board decided to supply uniforms I to the women officials at the Raetlhl ; and Talhape Hospitals. i Whatever your doctor prescribes for 1 you, we can make up the mixture acI curately And not only that, but all I the drugs we use are of the very purest ' quality, always perfectly fresh and of 1 standard strength We are partlcul larly well fitted out to make up preI scrlptlon« at most reasonable prices L B James, prescription chemist.
