On the question of cylinder cooling Mr Caudwall observed, that he only dealt with air-cool- led engines, as sufficient experi |lance had now been sequired to show that in the range of sizes under, discussion, water cooling was a quite unnecessary elabora- tion. Air cooling would, be per- fectly satisfactory under right conditions, but very little atten- tion appeared to have been givan to it by the designers, of motor cycla engines. A careful examination of a cylinder| Jof

As soon as the Armistice was signed numerous inquiries were made at the various shipping offices as to prospects for emigration, and all! agents are anticipating that, directly travelling restrictions are removed and ships are avail. able, a great "boom" in emigra-j tion will take place,

The chief reason for this is the fact that for fully four years there has been no emigration, and people who would have left the country but for the war" are anxious to get away at the first opportunity. Ex-Service men, unwilling to return to sedentary occupations, are also anxious to try their fortune oversees; while! the influence of Dominon and American soldiers who have been quartered in the country has had an unsettling effect upon many people.
