, AN ANNOUNCEMENT. ' We have to announce' that the Beoond series of 1916 "Studebaker" cars are now on their way to New Zealand, per s.s. Pakeha, from Montreal, duo to arrive shortly. These oars come from the Canadian assembling and finishing branch, Walkerville, Ontario, and are remarkable for their exceptionally fine-finish, necessitated by the demands of the overseas Studebaker trade. Many valuable detail improvements are incorporated in the second series models, one of the most noteworthy of these being the provision of independent and separately adjustable front seats of tho "bucket" type, together with adjustable pedals. This refinement should especially appeal to the lady driver or tho exceptionally tall or short man, whose comfort is not adequately provided for by the usual fixed dimensions in the front of the car. Another important modification 13 the relegation of the petrol tank to the rear of the car, and the provision of a very efficient vacuum feed to carburetter. Ihere are many minor modifications and improvements, all designed to add to the oomfort and convenience of both driver and passengers, while in appearance the car is handsomer than erer. The new Studebakers will be on view at Studebaker Agencies shortly, and all interested in the latest developments in American automobile desi?n are invited t0 ] inspect them.

'An interesting and apparently not very widely-known point in connection witli the war pensions scheme was dis- t cussed at a recent sitting of the War Pensions Board (says an Auckland exchange). A soldier, in evidence, cited the fact that he was the sole support of his aged parents. In reply the returned man wag informed that all dependants have a claim to a pension on their own account irrespective of any granted to the breadwinners. A striking example was furnished later in the 'liv, when a returned man with a wife anil three children was allotted a pension tof £1 a week, his wife 105..a weeki ond each child 7s. 6d., or a total of £2 12s. 6d. for the family, whereas the Maximum pension payable to a dift« ahled man is 355. a week.
