HUTS, Landscape Architect Graduate bs Lndsceplns V. or C ~ Anserlcan School ol Ladscape Architecture andGardenias. adeaber National Ladscape Service. IVith a back wheel of his car hanging 25 feet above the bo'.- tom of the ravine, after the ma- chine had spun several times and ripped 65 feet of railing off the edge of the ravine bri(lge, Thinl Street and Bewicke Ave., J. A. Carr, Canyon View Flotel, crawl- ed out of his machine to safety at 5 a. m. Sunday, after a nar- row escape from death. He was driving west. police state, and reached the bend in the bridge when an attempt to apply his brakes threw the car into a spin. The flooring of the bridge was covered with frost at the time. A similar accident occurred at the same spot two years ago, pol- ice say, and no one was injure(1, though the car dropped to the bottom of the ravine. GOOD GROCERIES Every Purchaser a Pleased Cus- tomer. 'The winter window-garden may consist simply of a jardin- ere,or a few choice pot plants on a stand at the window, or of a considerable collection with more or less elaborate arrange- ments for their accommodation in the way of box, brackets, shelves and stands. Expensive arrangements are by no mean~ necessary, nor is a large collec- tion. The plants and flowers themselves are the main consid- eration, and a small collection well cared for is better than a large one unless it can be easily accommodated and kept in good condition. The box will be seen near at hand, and so it may be more or less ornamental in character. The sides may be covered with ornamental tile held in place by molding; or a light lattice work of wood surrounding the box is pretty. But a neatly made and strong box about 10 inches wide and 6 inches deep, with a strip of molding at the top and bot- tom answers just as well; and if painted green or some neutral shade,only the plants will be seen or thought of. The box may consist of mere- ly the wooden receptacle; but a preferable arrangement is to make it about eight inches deep instead of six, then have the tinsmith make a zinc tray to fit the box. This is provided with a false wooden bottom, with cracks for drainage, two inches above the real bottom of the tray. The plants will then have an open space below them into which drainage water may pass. Such a box may be thoroughly watered as the plants require without danger to the floor of the room. Of course a faucet should be provided at some suit- able point on a level with the bottom of the tray, to permit of its being drained every day or so if the water tends to accumu- late. It would not do to allow the water to remain long; especi- ally should it never rise to the false bottom, as then the soil would be kept too wet. The window for plants should have a southern,southeastern, or eastern exposure. Plants need all the light they can get in the winter especially those that are expected to bloom. The ~indow should be tight-fitting. Plants like a certain uniform- ity in conditions. It is very try- ing on them and often fatal to success, to have them warm one night and in a temperature only a few degrees above freezing the next. Some plants will live in spite of it but they cannot be ex- pected to prosper. Mrs. EV. T. writes: I would like your advice on how to care for gladioli and dahlia bulbs. Ours have flowered well and I want to keep them. Answer: In the issue of Sep- tember 28th we covered the sub- ject of caring for dahlia bulbs during the winter, and in case this issue divas missed we are for- warding the information by mail. To keep the gladioli eorms in good condition through the wint- er they should be taken up after the first light frost and dried in the sun for a few hours, clean- eg, and then stored away in boxes 2t/. inches or so deep. They should be stored in a cool, dark and dry place. The tops should be left on, at least until they are completely shriveled. 4Ve deliver.

FIRST AID CLASS TO BE FORiIED A first aid class is now being organised in AVest Vancouver. The course covers a period of six weeks, instruction being given by a competent medical practi- tioner. It is expected that there ivill be from twenty to tiventy- five enrolled. Already twelve applications have been received. Any person interested should make application to T. E. Snel- grove, telephone )Vest 189. On wednesday of last week a meeting of the North Shore ex- ecutives of the First Aid Society was held in North Vancouver. School Trustee, i41rs. M. B. Rob- inson and T. E. Snelgrove were present as the IVest Vancouver representatives. At that meet- ing it was decided to hold classes in both IVest Vancouver and North Vancouver. Last year no first aid instruction was given at either place. A knowledge of first aid work is a very useful asset to anyone. There come to most of us at times opportunities for making use of this knowledge, and pos- sibly its application at such a time means the difference be- tween life and death to some one near and dear to us. In addition, a first ai(l certificate is often of considerable assistance in help- ing an applicant to a position in the business world. Further in- formation can be obtained about this by applying to T. E. Snel- grove. P 1o .. &e a)I ano .IIIiier ~O...I:i.

Chapman, secretary of the Dundarave Regatta Commit tee, wrote the council asking that the swimming tank. at Dun- darave Pier be towed to safer quarters for the winter. If it was taken to Eagle Harbour, his committee would appreciate it if it could be left where it would be aground at loiv water to enable them to examine and clean the float logs. The matter was re- ferred to the engineer with in- structions to have the tank moved. CANADIAN LEGION DANCE Due to the number of social events which have occurred rec- ently the dance given by the IVest Vancouver branch of the Canadian Legion on Friday night in Dundarave Hall was not as well attended as it might have been, Those, however, who were present had a thoroughly enjoy- able time and dancing divas kept up until midnight. The prize for the best lady waltzer was won by Miss Lena Rivers, the final adjudication being in the hand: of the dancers themselves. Dainty refreshments were served during the evening. ARCHERY CLUB BRIDGE The first social affair of the season sponsored by the West Vancouver Archery Club was held in the commodious rooms of Beach House kindly loaned for the occasion by Mrs. Grady. The president, Mrs. J. D. Tait, received the guests, being assist- ed as hostess by Dr. Roberta Vass, vice-president, Mrs. R. C. Procter, treasurer, and Mrs. A. B. Rawkins, secretary, and iMiss E. Bolton, executive. There aa's a very good attendance, the af- fair being successful from every point of view. The guests were entertained at progressive bridge, prizes being awarded as follows: firsts, Mrs. Burton-Fos- ter and iAIrs. $V. B. Small: con- solat ions, Mrs. Thornfield and Mr. Lloyd. Dainty refreshments were served, and brief congratulatory talks were given by the presi- dent and vice-president. Mr. Young acted as director of play. It is the intention of the club to hold other social affairs dur- ing the season, and the success and pleasure afforded by this first one will assure an increas- ing attendance at each of their entertainments. EVe ~vould draw the attention of all lovers of outdoor sports to the opportunities afforded by the club for indulgence in this splendid form of recreation. The membership fee, $2 a year, is a very reasonable one and is in no way commensurate with the healthful pleasure to be obtain- ed by use of the bow and arrow. Any of the officers will be glad to give you further information about the club's activities.
