MINOR PUBLICITY SUCCESS SCORED

Received Tliursday, 7 p.m. LONDON, Oct. 23. New Zealand House has scored a minor publicity suceess with a display of Maori mats, earvings aml weapons in oue of its show windows ou the Strand, - A number of the artieles used in the display were purelutsed from the (toi lection of the late Alr. T. L. Doime. forinerly (Secretary of the Departmeut of Indust ries and Commerce and oflic-

ial secretary to the Higli Conunissioner. One iine feather mat was presented to the Higli Conunissioner 's ottice when the New Zealand Forces Club in Char ing Cross Road closed down early this vear. The display, whi^lt replaces the exhibition of New Zealand peace stamps, is attracting even more attentiou than its predecessor. Another new exhibit in the entrance hall of New Zealand House is a striking diorama designed by Alr. F. A. Court, the well known Lonclon artist, whose work has been exhibited in the Paris Academy and by the Lociety of British Water-colour Painters. The diorama is a reprodue tion of a New Zealand publicity photo graplt showing a slteep mustering seene among the picturesque hilly eountrv near Te Reinga. This photograph has proved itself particularly valuable for publicity purposes, for it was also used as the frontispiece for a special ])hotogravure brochure issued by the Times showing reprodue tions of pholograps in this handsome booklet— a scene showing a mounted girl bringing in a milking lierd of Jerseys in the West land distriet. The Te Reinga photograph was also used last. month as the front page illusl rat.ion of the monthly publication "Our Erapire Todny. ' '
