There are still many simple devices that elude the efforts of man to dis- cover them. Here are a few from "What's Wanted and Ad- vice to Inventors," an interest- ing little booklet issued by the institute of Patentees. The discovery of the mechan- ism that enables us to remember almost instantly in our brains without going through the mec- hanism of a card index or other system. A pipe that can be easily and effectively cleaned. An electric toaster that will cut off the current just before the toast begins to burn. Harnessing the sun's electro- magnetic waves. A noiseless aeroplane. Some form of lighting appli- ance capable of penetrating fog. A hatband that does not be- come discolored by white streaks after being subjected to heavy rain. A process to eliminate rust. A means of inducing and pre- venting rain. A contrivance that will attract dust in the same way as a mag- net attracts steel filings. A front lifeguard for vehicles. A safe method of stopping steamers and ships from rolling in the roughest weather. Steel rolling stock for raihvays that will not make a noise. Scheme of "Pay as you enter" for trams and omnibuses that would not cause congestion on the platform. To the Ratepayers of West Vancouver: J. T. WA.TT To the Electors of West Vancouver; Having completed the two year period as Councillor for which you elected me, I ofl'er myself for re-election, aml ask your support an&i vote at the election on Saturday, January 15th. My record during three years'ervice is knotvn to you. I have served you conscientiously and to the best of my ability. If you re-elect me I shall continue to give you my best services. Gwladys Daoies Your first choice vote is respectfully solicited as one of your representatives at the coming elections on January 15th. A straight Business Administration for our Municipality and lots of action with less talk. Respectfully yours A little onion juice or vinegar added to the water in which rice is to be boiled keeps the rice white. Before using enamel cooking utensils grease the inside with butter. This prevents the en- amel from cracking and chip- ping aftemvards. Raw potatoes rubbed on the hands will help to remove stains. Avoid filling kettles in the morning with the first water that comes from the tap, for it has been in a lead or iron pipe all night, and is therefore unwhole- some. Cut a tiny piece from the eml of a potatoe that is to be baked in its skin. This will allow the steam to escape and render the potato dry and floury. Many a gas range would be improved if once or twice a week the burners were removed, turn- ed upside down and gently tap- ped to remove particles of food or dust. When washing flannels, never let them lie long in the water. They should be washed and hung out to dry as quickly as possible. Frequent cleaning of your elec- tric bulbs will increase the vol- ume of light. Eggs for an invalid should never be boiled. They should be "coddled." Bring water to the boiling point, remove it to the back of the stove, drop in the egg, cover it and allow it to stand for five minutes. Literary Society The provisional date, Monday evening, January 10th, has been confnsned for the meeting of the society to discuss the subject of "Local Geography." United Church Hall, 8 o'lock. There is a London employer who will never speak kindly to his office boy again. Patting him on the head in a fatherly manner, he remarked: "Well, Jimmie, I hope you save half of what you earn." The reply was disconcerting: "I don't get that much, sir." West Vancouver There was a good attendance at the regular monthly meeting of the Ratepayers'ssociation at the Ambleside Hall on Tues- day night. The committee on improved postal facilities reported that in view of the recent Christmas rush, it had been decided not to take up the question with the postal authorities but that they were now going to do so 2nd would present a report on the matter at the next regular meet- ing. The question of the school by- law caused considerable discus- sion. The feeling generally was in support of the by-law, but the meeting appeared to be of the opinion that further details were required before a resolution of endorsement could be passed. Owing to sickness, Mrs. Robin- son was the only School Trustee present. She stated that the School Board had spent consider- able time in an effort to obtain a suitable school site and whilst that chosen might appear to be somewhat easterly, it was the only one available having a suf- ficient amount of level ground, except subdivided land, the cost of which latter was prohibitive. It was finally resolved that the association wait for further par- ticulars before taking any defin- ite stand on the bylaw. Messrs. W. McQuaker, W. M. Jackman, J. J. Dutton and Coun- cillor Davies, all of whom are candidates in the forthcoming municipal elections, addressed the meeting. Mr. McQuaker spoke on the water and sewage questions, Mr. Jackman on schools and trans- portation, while Mr. Dutton made a short speech on municipal mat- ters generally. Councillor Dav- ies asked to be excused from making any definite statements, saying she would do so on Thurs- day, when she would give some information on the water ques- tion.
