BUTT, Landscape Architect alod l lo LCC4cccplol u. Cl c dcowhcw ache l Lm4ccoa Alchucclw oo4~toy. hl~ Noctcoot L odccoy scr ko We have been asked so fre- quently this spring as to what to do to rid a garden of moles that we have reached the con- clusion that they must be much worse this year than previously. Our own experience also indicat- es this. There are at least five species of moles which frequent gardens but as the activities and destruc- tiveness of each species so close- ly resemble each other and the same remedies are applicable to each we do not intend to go into a description of each of the species but will confine our talk to the various methods of con- trol. It is not difficult to determine whether or not moles are work- ing in the lavrn or fiower beds. The ridges indicate that they are working dose to the surface while'he mounds show that they are working deeper down where the soil is so closely packed that it cannot be pushed aside. Moles usually work for 0 short period in the morning, at noon Spa Ipte atternOOn. In this part of the country the young moles develop very rapid- ly. They are born during the latter part of March, spend most of April in the nest, and by the end of May are fully developed. This probably accounts for the fact that very rarely is a young partly grown mole caught in a trap. The mole has a tremendous appetite. In captivity they will eat more than their own weight in food daily. If the human race did the same thing the present period of over-production would probably not have occured. Now for the various methods of controL There are several makes of traps on the market, anyone of which will be found to be rhvtson- ably satisfactory if followed con- sistently.

Some gardens, amateur, snd otherwise, c)aim success from using the exhaust from an auto- mobile engine. Personally we didn't have much luck with this method. The ordinary garden hose should be inserted in the end of the exhaust pipe and if the hose doesn't completely illl the hole tape up the end with friction tape or wrap around with an old inner tube. Insert the other end of the garden hose in the mok's runway and let the engine run for twenty min- utea The carbon monoxide gas should do the trick. How to use the poisons will be dealt with next week. NOTE--vh ~I wal coochlcr N ~ Pl I l poco I 4 Ilww ceo% lol tho ycld ~ lo Chic cot rh oo«tlooc ch «ld ho 44 cod lo lh ocltw I ~ ol lho Zdlloc.

Advice has been received from Ottawa that the Federal Government will in- sist on installation of a lift in- stead of a fixed span. This would create two draws on the bridge. At present there is a bascule lift, and it was pro- posed that a fixed span be placed where the damaged one was taken out. Contract for this work was awarded recently to the Dominion Bndge Co. in an- ticipation of the loan being ap- proved in Ottawa. The action by Ottawa is said by North Shore authorities to be based on 0 report sent there by Mr. H. E. C. Beaver, representa- tive of Sir Alexander Gibb, eng- ineer, now engaged in 0 survey of Canadian Harbors. Mr. Beaver was in Vancouver about three weeks ago. He re- turned to Eastern Canada. At the offices of the Harbor Board it was stated that he had called there for information, but no news of what report he made on the bridge has been received, ac- cording to Mr. Sam McClay, chairman. It is stated that Mr. Beaver favored an additional lift span on the structure. Attention is drawn by bridge company officials to the fact that in supplementary estimates before Parliament this week no provision was made for the ex- pected loan, although an agree- ment had been reached with the Harbor Board. North Shore residents plan a mass meeting to discuss the whole situation if further delay is encountered in the completion of plans to restore the bridge. The center of population seems to be at the street intersection where the traffic oificer has just asked if you don't know how to drive a car.

Here according to an A.P. despatch we have two Infants of the house of Mussolini tweaking the ears of Mussolini dictator of Italy forty-eight times. Apparently they decided they might as well make the most of their time, for it is cer- J tain they won't do the same once a few years hence without hear- ing all about it. Even allowing for the fact that it Is said to bo a custom in Italian families, the incident reveals a sense of homor in Mussolini which the world had not suspected. Evidently, he rather enjoyed the tweaking, for indignity produces choler, which everybody knows shakes up the old interior, and the despatch in question concludes with the cryptic remark "Mussolini'0 health is excellent." Monkeys undoubtedly have a good time in the United States. Only a few months ago I drew attention to 0 kind of Donny- brook fought all over 0 ship ent- tering Philadelphia harbor by a crowd of escaped monkeys, wherein the crew had a good time and the monkeys a better. Now I read of forty monkeys playing the noble game of "chase me" up and down the hallways and stairways of a Chicago sky- scraper. They were maintained in the building for tracoma ex- periments, of which they had got tired, and so escaped. We would soon get fed up, too, if we were specimens for long. Needless to say, there was considerable high and fast stepping on the part of the ofFice tenants before the monkeys were rounded up. This week large quantities of bootleg liquor are to be poured into the city sewers by the police, so, if an elusive salmon is found by any fisherman floating on his back on the top of the water, please note the fish is not dead but dead to the world. I hate fishinv, because I never catch anything but myself or brother anglers, if any are reckless enough to come with me. Those who know me don'. But now I am going to patrol the waters armed with my field glasses. I expect to come home with 0 full bag of pickled salmon. Of course I am hoping not to run into 0 blackfish jumping high and in the best of tempers, because that kind of thing only appeals to me in the movies. It's apt to be a bit too drastic in real life.

Bargains All The Time FASIOUSl UNIVERSITY SWI'5ISIING LOACH IN WEST VANCOUVER The world's master swimmers have "got-that-way" because they have mastered the funda- mentals of aquatic progress to the extent that harmonious ap. plication of all the needed ele- ments has become automatic. The fundamentals of finlshed swimming--in whatever etyk- are: l. Regular synchronized breath- ing. 2. Stabilized balance. 3. Correct movement form. 4 Properly arranged timing and 5. Effective Inter-movement re- laxation. From mastery of these ele- ments springs the noticeable characteristic Rhythm of the fin- ished swimmer. This perfected Rhythm again leads to: (a) Sustained momentum (b) Aquatic endurance (c) Enhanced health (d) A specialhted form of strength (e) Balanced muscular develop- ment (f) Condition and (g) High swimming speed. Swimming candidates divide naturally into classes as follows: Junior and Senior Beginners, Junior and Senior Improvers, Advanced competitive swimmers Class Hours for Beginners will to a certain extpdtt-be govpzned by the state of the tide. As far as possible, however, beginners will be taken during the hottest hours of the day. As satisfac- tory scientific work cannot be done with children much below the age of eight, tiny tots are not accepted as paying pupils. On the other hand, no one is too old to learn. There is something fascinating about gaining great- er control over oneself in and under the water. Besides it' lots of fun. The first series of lessons will commence in a few days and conclude about the middle of August. The fees payable in ad- vance are for one person 65.00; two members of the same family $7.00; three members of the same family 610.00.
