SCHOOL BOARD ASKS TENDERS FOR SCHOOL BUILDING GARDENS AND GARDENING By NINA G. HUTT, Landscape Architect COLI-EEN TENDERS SIVAPPY ADVICE TO TFAIID MAIDENS The IVest Vancouver Board of School Trustees is calling for tenders for the building known as Cypress Park School, the buikling to be moved. These tenders are to be in the hands of Secretary Garland by next Wednes&lay, the 8th inst. The ground on which the building stands is not owned by the Board. Advice to shy, shrinking vio- lets in large quantities on the subject of how to be popular id offered in Colleen Moore's new starring comedy - drama, "Naughty But Nice" which will be shown tomorrow (Saturday) night and Monday night only at the Hollyburn Theatre. This picture depicts the tale of a freckled, bespectacled, long- haired, awkward girl from Tex- as, who enters a smart finishing school on the outskirts of IVash- ington, D.C. From being the school's prize unnoticed dumb- bell, Colleen suddenly and mys- teriously becomes the most stun- ning girl in the place with all the most desirable town shelks at her feet. "The girl who is star material will never have a chance to prove her ability unless she can com- pete with these girls in clothes while she is working her way out of the rank and file of pic- turedom." Clothes are still more import- ant to a star because of the close scrutiny given them by theatre goers. Miss Moore wears a num- ber of especially designed frocks in "Naughty But Nice."

The clover florets are closely packed to- gether like those of a daisy, but they are not composites, conse- quently they run no risk of self- fertilization. Continuing our talk about how I fiig flowers insure their cross fertil- l r -, g ization, we will delve into the mysteries of the Violets and ; . g, Pansies as well as some of the other flowers. The anthers of the Wood Vio!ets, and their near relatives, the cultivated garden Pansies, are so arranged that they hold the pollen ready at all times for f &, their assistants, the insects. The stigma protrudes and opens like the end of an elephant's trunk, with two small lips. The bee makes his call carrying pollen on his head and back, some of which is sure to be deposited on the stigma when he is search- ing around for the nectar. At the same time, he is sure to dis- turb the positions of the stam- ina, causing a shower of fresh pollen to fall on him. When he leaves the flower we might nat- urally expect that some of this fresh pollen would be brushed off on the stigma, but such is not the case. The lower lip of ~ 'he stigma closes up and pre- vents self-fertilization in a somewhat similar manner as the Iris. It is very interesting to watch the bees light on the upper pet-',, al, ihen swing around.to the lower one, with their heads pointing downward, no doubt with the idea of being in a more 'onvenient position for getting't the nectar. Some members of the Bean family might be likened to mis- ers, as they appear to be vet~ stingy with their pollen, keep- ing it shut up in receptacle re- sembling a boat, over which is ~ a roof. Dr. Henry Smith Wil- 'liams in his book, "Life and IVork of Burbank," states that the beans and peas of our veg- etable gardens are self-fertiliz- i d! I, 'ng. However, the appearance of the flower and the fragrance of the Locust, Sweet Pea and the Lupin would lead us to believe that they welcome the visits of the bees. We see that the stam- ens and pistils, being somewhat stiff, do not sink so far, conse- quently they touch the bee on the under side. The pistil being the longer, touches the bee first, and collects any pollen which may be handy. The stamens be- ing short, then touch the bee and deposit their pollen on him. ~ The bee, as soon as he has quenched his thirst, flies away, and the boat-like receptacle rises into place again, and the act of cross-fertilization has been accomplished. A similar action takes place in the florets of the clover.

DONALD INcTAVISH MAKING GOOD RECOVERYBILLIARD TOURNANEIVT NOIV IN PROGRESS The English Billiard Tourna- ment organized by Chet Shields is now being run off. Games are being played daily at the par- lors on 14th Street. So far no big surprises have been sprung, and it is generally expected that the "scratch" men will take most of the prizes. Donald McTavish, Police Commissioner, who was the only one at the recent elections to be returned by acclamation, is still at the Shaughnessy Hos- pital undergoing treatment. He is making satisfactory progress, however, and it is hoped and expected that he will be able to return to his home at 21st and Bellevue next week. W. B. A.

At this meeting officers for the year will be installed, Mrs. Laura Baker, Deputy Supreme Commander, being the installing officer. ARCHERY COMPETITION AND DANCE Tourist: "About what is the population of this place? Native: "About the post of- fice." "Do you believe in matri- mony?" "I believe in any kind of money I can get." Arrangements for the Dance and Archery Tournament to be held in the Hollyburn Pavilion on the evening of February 18 are well under way and the event promises to be one of the most successful of the season. Mrs. R. C. Proctor is convenor of the affair, being assisted by Dr. Roberta Vase and Miss Joy Tristram. The archery tournament will be a decided novelty, and this demonstration, apart from the dance, will draw a large attend- ance. A large space will be roped off, and targets will be set for shooting with the famed English yew long bow. Several clubs from the south have promised to send "crack-shot" teams, thus giving a strong international flavor to the contest. Suitable prizes will be provided and shooting will continue until mid- night. The committee ask that you buy tickets early. On Wednesday, February 22, a card party, progressive whist, will be given by the above asso- ciation in the Ambleside Hall. Good prizes and refrbshments will be provided. Tickets 35 cents.

"FROM FOREST YO YOU" An editorial from The Van- couver Sun under date of Jan- uary 31st: h10RE SERUM "Eleven children in Sydney, Australia, are dead and six are dying as the result of diphtheria inoculation. "The serum used was not sup- plied by quacks. It was supplied by the Commonwealth Health Department. No question of its genuineness has been raised. "How many more little chil- dren must be sacrifice to serum fetich before the medical pro- fession realizes that health is not a matter of dope and cut- ting, but of proper living hab- its? "The cause of disease is a dirty blood stream. Health is the result of a clean blood stream. "How can doctors hope to pre- vent disease by the infusion of more filth into the blood? "The cause of common-sensq health is being won at a ter- rific cost when the lives of little children must be sacrificed to disprove the serum craze." The Capilano Timber Co. Ltd.
