In this regard the “Daily Mail” has reached a world’s record, charging £IOOO for a full front-page and £I4OO if the advertisement is a financial prospectus.

( I It is often the good fortune of Holdj tika residents to witness glorious sun- ; sets. Last night such an opportunity j prevailed, and though many have gone I before, we douht if there ever was a more beautiful sunset picture than that to he seen lasi night from shortly after seven o’clock. Away out over the western ocean the evening zephyrs had gathered a large fleecy white cloud, which spread itself over the heavens, and was separate from the dark hank of clouds which crowded further east over the mountain tops. When Old Sol dipped below the ocean ho sent up his rays and these illuminated the fleecy expanse of white cloud with a glorious radiance of rose-tinted pink. The coloring was exquisite, and nature seemed at her very best in her lavish .display. Below the clouds the sky took on contrasting coloring of delightful shades, and the whole was a wonderful exposition of nature’s glories freely displayed for the delight of all. At tho Civil Engineers’ Conference at Christchurch Mr H. E. Toogood, referring to the statement in the report as to the passing of an Act to improve the

position of tho profession, said that when- local bodies used the services of Public Works engineers they should pay for them. Other members supported Mr Toogood. Mr Furkett, Engineer -in-Chief of the Public Works Department did not give advice to all and sundry free, as Mr Toogood had said. Wherever possible it avoided going on to tho preserves of private engineers. Mr Toogood’s .suggestion that local bodies should pay for the services of Public Works engineers was quite sound. Mr F. J. Williams said that some local bodies certainly used Public Works engineers, and mentioned two cases. Mr Toogood said that Public Works engineers sometimes gave their services to local bodies free, under Ministerial instructions. j Washboard slavery has gone for ever i thanks to No Rubbing Laundry Help. ! 1/ packet docs seven weekly washings.
