The Dahlia has become so popular with garden lovers Ahe past few years that it ranks very close in popularity with the sweet pea, rose and carnation. There is now a National Dahlia Society. For a flower to be in such favor it must have out- standing quahties that appeal to flower growers. It appeals to the commercial grower in its abundant supply of bloom and range of colors during the late summer and fall and its fine shipping qualities. For the amateur grower it offers an almost endless means of enjoyment in experimenting with producing flowers from seed. IVhen Dahlia seeds are sown one never knows what colors or forms are going to be produced from the seed. This point appeals to amateurs more tha nany others. While the Dahlia is at its best on the coast, where there is an abundant supply of moisture in the air, it can be grown inland with success if pains are taken with tbe supply of moisture. A little experimentation will soon indicate the proper amount to supply. However, to the inland gardeners we would like to point out that disappointment may be in store for them if they expect to get flowers of such size snd colors as are shown in the seed catalogues of growers located in the best Dahlia regions. As far as is known the first news in regard to the discovery of the Dahlia was reported by Francisco Hernandez in 1676. He discribed them as being cul- tivated in Mexico, but, of course, under different names, which varied as to locality. They were first introduced into Spain and England in 1789 by Vincente Cervantes of Mexico. Success, however, did not attend their in- troduction and it was not until 1804, when they were introduced again to England by Lady Hol- land, that they became firmly established. About this time fairly wide distribution of the tubers were made from the Bot- anical Gardens in Madrid, they apparently being more success- ful in the original introduction than were the growers in Eng- land. Next week a brief outline of the various types will be given. NOTE--Th It anl cs ht r It ~ al sc te ss «e stisss uceraioe th ~ 4 o la thb ul~.

G. W. Vance, Frank Harvie, R. A. Sargent and William McMahan, as s special committee, submitted to the North Vancouver Board of Trade last week a report which will be used in booklet form for exten- sive distribution. It deals in de- tail with such matters as loca- tions for industries, distribution facilities, labor supply, poten- tialities for the manufacture of raw materials, fuel and water supplies, electrical power and general living conditions.

HAI,L on Monday evening, September 28th, 1931, at 8 o'lock, at which matters concern- ing the SECOND NARROWS BRIDGE will be dealt with. All public bodies on the North Shore are invited to attend and a large turnout of the general public is requested. THE WEST VAN NEWS AUSTRAI.IAN ENVOYS SPEAK ON NiORTH SHORE Momentous significance o f Canada's trade treaty with Aus- tralia and the opportunities it offers for inter-Empire trade ex- pansion, was the theme of ad- dresses given Tuesday night in K, P. Hall at a largely attended Kiwanis Club luncheon by H. E. Laffer and C. E. Critchley, mern. bere of the Australian goodwill trade delegation. Representatives of the North Shore councils, Board of Trade and many other public bodies at- tended. «We consider it oppottune Ihat a delegation of Australians should be passing through your country in view of the recent trade treaty," observed Mr. Laf- fer. Pride in the fact that Canada and Australia were the first countries of the British Empire to thus come together was ex- pressed and Mr. Laffer said he considered this only a forerun- ner of steps leading to the whole Empire being linked in Imperial commercial preference. "Extension by Australia to Canada of the British preferen- tial rate of duty is something that Australia has never done before," declared Mr. Critchley. who added there are 400 items on the Australian tariff list in which Canada is placed on the same basis as Great Britain. Among guests st the luncheon were F. A. Palmer, Canadian trade commissioner in Scandina- vian countries, and Hugh Dalton, secretary of the Canadian Manu- facturers'ssociation. The Ki- wanis president, T. C. McMillan, presided, and a special «Austral- ian fare" was provided. WILL PROBE NORTH SHORE DISTURBANCE Echoes of the unemployment disturbance at Eleventh Street and St. Andrew's Avenue, North Vancouver, on September 14 were heard in the City Council Chamber Monday night. Aid. Jack Loutet submitted a resolu- tion asking the Police Commis- sion to investigate the matter and consider swearing in special constables to prevent a recur- rence. The motion carried. "One msn more than 60 years old was struck," observed the alderman. When men can come in and do that and get away with it, there is something wrong with our police system. I think the police knew there was to be a disturbance and were informed where they could get assistance. Mayor E. H. Bridgman, chair- man of the Police Commission, explained that the Vancouver police department had offered to send over a certain number of men. He also instructed Chief Peter Stewart to get in touch with Inspector W. R. Dunwoody of the provincial police. One man, the mayor said, had been apprehended, and he is the one who is alleged to have struck the aged city workman. Mayor Bridgman stated that a meeting of the Police Commis- sion will be held soon and he in- vited members of the council to attend and hear matters discus- setl. The debate was precipitated when Aid. Alfred Huggett of- fered a resolution "that Inspec- tor Dunwoody of the provincial police be asked to arrange the policing of this city upon terms to be amicably decided upon." The alderman also suggested that the council recommend re- tirement of Chief Peter Stewart, November I, but this part of the resolution was withdrawn, and the motion, failing to receive a seconder, wss not put to the vote.

THE Bl'RiVINGv BUSH By Subadar The tuscalled civilized world still remains in a kind of churn- ed-up condition, and men wonder and fear lest a general Donny- brooke I"air be just around the corner. I would recommend those interested in the general econ- omic or, might we ssy, un-econ- omic situation to read the great English essayist David Burne, who, writing many years ago on the subject of «Public Credit,« seemed to foresee the exact situ- ation in which we find ourselves. While he evidently was certain that eventually England would reach a state of voluntary bank- rupcy as a result of the continual Increase in the national debt, he has these comforting words to say of what would follow: "It would not probably be long ere credit would revive in as flour- ishing a condition as before." ~ ~ ~ The following are a few more excerps taken from a talk on his experiences by a South London rector, and published in an Eng- lish parish magazine. "Don't make any mistake life is not a bit dull in Peckham. On the contrary we have a lot of fun. We love unusual things. We have a passion for funerals. One o! my parishioners went to order the ham for a funeral the other day and said to the shopkeeper, 'Instead of using paper for the frill use crepe.'But if you work for it there' progress all the time, and the money seems to come from some- where. I was loking at the ac- counts the other day and I saw the entry 'Dead cats $10.'hat entry dated back to the time when we used to bury the cats of the parishioners who had no gardens for twopence each but ultimately there was a misun- derstanding because by some chance there was a potted meat factory next door and people began to say things. But while it lasted it helped a lot. We bought a chiming clock for the new vicarage and one of my col- leagues had a new cassock all out of the 610. "Yes, life is full of fun, tears, excitement and uncertainty, but I wouldn't have any other life for anything. On the whole peo- ple are well disposed and helpful but as there's going to be a col- lection in a moment I'l tell you one who wasn'. One of our girls persuaded her aunt to come to church one morning. The old ledy was exceedingly proper, and by way of knowing everything. On the way home the girl said, 'How did you like it, aunty?'nd then the old lady let herself go. Shaking her dress she began, 'A very dirty church, my dear, and I didn't think much of the musie. That organist never studied counterpoint, and the boys were horribly out of tune. Who's the vicar? I didn't think his sermon any too good.'y this time the niece was a little depressed, and ventured to say, 'You do seem to expect s lot for twopence.'The collection which followed this last remark was a very gen- erous one." His letter read: "I'm enjoying Florence immensely." His wife rephed You can stay in Europe. I'm having a good time with Oscar." Hollyburn THEATRE Thursday, Ftiday and Saturday Sept. 04.
