High School Bylaw To Be Submitted A money bylaw will be sub- mitted to the electorate at the forthcoming January elections providing for the erection of a high school in West Vancouver. The proposed site is located ad- jacent to Seventeenth and Ingle- wood aml the approximate cost will be around $50,000, made up as follows: Building, $37,000; land, $4,000; grading and clear- ing, $8,000; and equipment, $6,000. This proposal has met with the approval of the council. The need of a more up-to-date and separate high school in West Vancouver has long been.recog- nized and it is believed that the proposal will meet with general favour. The space taken up by the present high school is badly needed for public school pur- poses and both schools, high and public, will be better served by this new building. West Van- couver's juvenile population is growing remarkably fast and our present schools are much overcrowded. It will not be long before additions have to be made to the public schools. The board of school trustees has been very progressive under the able chairmanship of Mr. i Edington, and the system of school work has been very effi- ciently developed by the princi- pals in charge. There are few places in Canada with the popu- lation of West Vancouver that can boast of such up-to-date edu- cational facilities or which have more efficient teachers than those in the schools of our dis- trict, and supremacy in this re- spect is much to be desired. Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the value of education for our children, and it is imperative that the housing facilities be made convenient and commod- dious. Hints for the Home Trouble-Saving Ideas If a cloth is placed over a '~~-basin of freshly made starch, no skin will form on the top. Tar stains can be removed by rubbing gently with benzine. Before using a new tooth- brush, soak it in hot salt water and it will last much longer. If a fruit cake mixture is put into a really hot oven at first, the fruit will sink to the bottom of the tin. Before cleaning copper kettles fill them with boiling water. They will be found to polish more quickly. A little soda dissolved in the blue water when washing clothes will prevent any blue stain remaining on the gar- ments. Potatoes will cook more quick- ly if they are left to stand in hot water about a quarter of an hour before being baked in the oven. To prevent moths getting into carpets go over the latter once a week with a broom dipped in hot water to which a little tur- i pentine has been added. Do not let soup boil, but allow to simmer slowly. Much of the liquid is wasted in evaporation and the best of the flavor is lost if the soup boils or is heated too quickly. Apply a poultice made of white bread soaked in vinegar to a corn and cover with a pice of glint or oiled silk. Leave on for twelve hours and then renew the I poultice. When using a hot water bottle to air or warm a bed, stand the bottle on one end. This makes a hot air chamber aml allows the heat to spread instead of being concentrated on one spot. You can clean windows and pictures rapidly by rubbing them with a clean rag sprinkled with tutpeittine or petrol. If the windows are very dirty, wash with cold water first, then rub with the petrol or turps.
