THE WEST VAN NE%'S CLASSIFIED ADS A Fair Average A Scotchman who was not feeling as well as usual called on his family docor, who looked him over and gave him some pills to be taken at bedtime. A bottle or whiskey was also prescribed for his stomach's sake--a small glass to be taken after each meal. Four days later Sandy called again on the doctor and said that he was feeling no better. "Have you taken the medicine exactly as I instructed?" the doc- tor inquired. "iVell, doctor,'aid Sandy, "I mav be a wee bit ahind wi'he pc:els, but, I'm about six weeks ahead wi'he whuskey." Too hluch Progress Hook Agent to farmer--"You ought to buy an encyclopedia, now that your boy is going to school." Farmer--"Not on your life. Let him walk, the same as I did."

Some mar- malades also were rather too liquid for keeping, and although allowance must be made for the heated condition of the hall, yet the winning jars were clear and firm in all sections. Many competitors did not ad- here to the rule of the commit- tee in supplying regulation jars and jelly glasses. The needlework section was very interesting, but the space provided was not nearly ade- quate for the value of the articl- es shown. Many linen cloths val- ued from $5 to $ 10 were not al- lotted as much space as a plate of potatoes,and ladies who prize their work are not encouraged to develop their talents under such conditions. On the other hand, a fine nice- ly arranged exhibit of needle- ivork draws many visitors, and is an inspiration to the workers of the garden and the field to find a reflection of nature's handi- work in the crafts of home. Many ladies asked for advice on color, and design. As these two headings influence most sec- tions of the prize list, I will en- deavor to explain them simply. COLOR. Many ladies show work in the ordinary primary colors. These colors are good but primitive,and British Col- umbia is rich in all tones an0 shades of color harmony. The fall flowers are excellent lessons in color-blending, petunias, salpi- plossis, and sweet peas give other series of color-harmony, whilst even the pebbles of the beach give still another. There is no need for crude color or clash iri a picturesque spot like EVest Vancouver, wh&~ artists hie from everywhere to seek inspir- ation. Every lady can thus work out her own individual taste and give something new and interest- ing as a result. DESIGN. In choosing de- Mhs Amy iVard who acted as judge of domestic science and women's work at the recent An- nual Show of the iVest Vancou- ver Horticultural and Agricult- ural Association has made an of- ficial report of her findings to the local association. iVe give below the full report. It will be specially interesting reading to our people and the remarks and recommendations of Miss iVard wil lbe well iveighed. signs, do not choose patterns of yesterday, nor styles which are no longer used. In these modern days, utility comes first. De- signs may be beautiful and suit- able without being complicated. Lazy daisy patterns are all right for beginners, but there are hun- dreds of other more beautiful patterns. Formal designs for bed-linen, runners, and towels are more tasteful and pleasing than over-embellishment, and crocheting should be applied with the same ideal in view. The The newest tea-cloths are not heavily laden with more lace than linen, but have an interest- ing edge in crochet, varying in width, which is applied, rather than seivn, to the edge of the lin- en. In this way, the linen is an iiisert for the crochet. Again, crochet may be insert- ed in linen with equal artistry. A note of the committee that "articles defaced by wear are not eligible'was disregarded in cases. In conclusion, may I congratu- late the ladies on their efforts and extend my thanks to the comm'it tee for their cordiality and co-operation. AMY EVARD. Auto Note.--The saturation point in automobile building will not be reached as long as the turnover re- mains as great as at present. The Temptation to Cuss Minister -- "I have brought back the second-hand car you sold me last week. It seems best that I give it up as it is too ob- streperous." Dealer--"What's wrong? Can' you run it?" Minister--"Not and stay in the ministry." iVest Vancouver's Ladies'Vork, 1929 As a general rule, there was fairly good competition in all sections of ladies work, and gen- eral excellence was found in the bread and cake sections. All the home made breads were. of good standard quality, of good crust and nice baking, and if any weakness could be mentioned it was an unevenness in rising the dough. This, however, is not so bad a fault as heavy bread, and with care may easily be rec- tified. In the cake section, many good exhibits could be improved by using a straight sided baking tin, as this ensures a more even- ly baked produce of better ap- pearance. Sponge cake mixture sl:ould not be shown in the layer cake section when a class is al- ready provided. Cookies should be confined to the usual wholesome varieties without icing. For dainties in small leakes, I wish to recom- mend a new class: Afternoon-tea cakes, 1 dozen, 4 varieties. These admit of various fillings and fi- nishe and provide an interesting group. Many exhibits in pastry show- ed an undercooked bottom crust, but the shortbread, oatcakes, plate pancakes, and griddle scones were all of splendid vari- ety. In the bot tied section, the fruits showed good quality in the li:rger varieties. Some of the small fruits showed much ferm- entation, and poor keeping qual- ities. The best bottles were clear, of good color, and firm pack, the latter being secured by evenly-sized specimens, well set before steaming. The majority of the jams were not jammed, and the jellies were not jellied, and since these qual- ities are essential in keeping jams and jellies from mildew and mould, ladies must be sure to iMore to Follow The Vicar (to oldest parishion- er) --"And so you'e 90 today, John?"

About twenty people gathered at the local display room of the B. C. Electric Company last Fri- day night to listen in on the speech delivered in New York by Premier Ramsay 31acdonald. The talk came through very clearly and distinctly.
