THE GRAY CAR.

At £230 the “Gray” car is in a class by itself. A handsome car, the Gray, with fine lines, roomy seating, wide doors, and nickel fitments. Extrema flexibility and power in abundance, with not less than 30 miles per gallon of benzine. These fcaLures tell their •o"'n story:—Eighteen years of successful engine building produced the Gray vibrationless motor—all reciprocating parts balanced to give a silk-like smoothness. The Timken Hear “Banjo” Axlo—accessible by the removal of but lour studs—is found only in other cars at £450 and above. The lighting nr.fi ignition systems in the Gray are standaul Westinghouse. Selective three-speed and reverse sliding gear transmission. Timken Taper Bearings throughout. The economy of the light ear with all the refinements of a heavy one—this is the Gray Car. The joys of luxurious motoring and the pride of lino car ownership at low cost and inexpensive—these are for you, the Gray achievement!

- A letter written by a young married woman who, with, her soldier husband, is living far inland, many, many miles from a railway station, gives a good insight into the things which those .outback have to think about, and some of the problems they have to try to solve (states the Auckland “Star”). “We are expecting the Revaluation Board any day now,” she writes, “but we are nut expecting that we will reap much benefit. Xot that we do not need help, for ve are very hard up, but 1 tun afraid ve look too properous, because we slave from morning to night to keep our place tidy. The untidy people and the people who don’t try are far more likely to get help than we are. My hair has been turning greyer than ever lately. (I’m only 26) trying to make garments for my two boys out of their father’s old things—a great game, which is an education in itself. Why, oh why. were we not taught sewing at school ? A fat lot of good algebra and geometry etc-., are to me now in these days of trying to keep a house going on very little. Enough, or I shall become bitter. but maybe in the dim and distant future a girl will receive an education which will help not to make lier a bigger fool than ever when it comes to managing a household.”
