A word for the good work marine inquiries "have done "was uttered at tho Kaitoa inquiry yesterday. Mr. E. K. Kirkcaldie said that prior to the institution of. such inquiries the state of shipping was a public scandal. / Ships were allowed to go to sea in luiseaworthy condition, and lossVof. life and 'property resulted. Now, ships (generally speaking) go to sea in proper condition, properly manned and equipped, and dangerous places are marked and lighted. Many of these implements were the outcome of recommendations by the Courts which inquired into marine mishaps. lien can procure the best cut Suits in pood value and material for 605., 705., or 80s., from Geo.

WHAT A CHRISTOHURCH DENTIST. ■SAYS ABOUT HIS STUDEBAKEE,' : We have made big claims for the Studw. baker 'ear on the score of iw reliability, its simplicity, and the ease with whioh. it can be driven. The following letter, addressed to us by Mr. E. Cowper, surgeon, dentist, of this cits', demonstrates the kind of service the Sijudebaker will give m the hands of an owner who has had conu paratively little driving experience. _Mr. Cowper purchased a Studebaker air from us on November 30th last, and Ins lengthy tou'v was one in tlve North Island during the recent Christmas and New Year holidays. Concerning his experi-' erices on that tour, Mr. Cowper writes:—" "just a few lines to tell you how thoroughly satisfied I am with ray Studebaker car. As you know, I took it away with me to the North Island, and uent in all about 1200 miles, over all the big hills up in the north. Going from Wellington through to Napier over the Rimutakas, across to Palmerston, hr.d New Plymouth, and back to Wclhngton over the famous Paekakanki Hill, the car took all the big hills with the greatest case, and did not give mc the tightest anxiety, ill that distance it waa not touched by anyone save to give itpetrol and oil, and we did not even have to nut wind into the tyres. You will be " surprised to hear that I brought the car over tho Zig-zag from L.vttelton to Sumner, which, says something for the car and the way you taught me to drive." Tho' Studebaker driven by Mr. Cowper was, of course, equipped with electrio ■ >elf-starter and. electric lights. .The new 191G-model Studebakcrs will bo to hand shortly, a first shipment being, expected next week.' Tho. prices of tho new models 'Are:—2s h.p.five-seater (including electrio scli-stavter, electric lights, and full Toad equipment), S3JS; 25 h.p. thrce-seater (samo equipment), i!3ijs. They aro even better than tho 1915 model, which has given such magnificent satisfaction to all purchasers. Adams, Ltd., N.Z. Importers of Studebaker Motors, Christehurch, Palmerston North, Wiuiganui.
