NEW PLYMOUTH TOLL LINES. Five men who are working from the Strut;ord end on preparing poles for the new’ toll lines to New Plymouth, recommenced work to-day after the holiday break, during which no work on this job was done. A similar gang is working from New Plymouth. N.Z. FREE LANCE. In Ken Alexander’s cartoon in the current issue o,f the Free Lance, “We Us” submits an agenda for the Science Congress, which embodies some unanswered everyday problems for solution. Typical questions are: “When is Summer?” and “How to Cure the Wife of not having a thing to wear?” The cartoonist’s work is particularly clever this week. Other sections of this national pictorial weekly, such as women’s chat, sporting and general topics of the moment are full of interest to the reader. The pictorial section as/ usual is up-to date and of infinite variety.
