NORTH VANCOUVER THE BURNING BUSH By Subadsr According to a U.P. despatch the Oregon department of agri- 0culture has recently fallen heiro 5 large elephant named "Tus- ko." After being shown at the state fair for a week, his ownem beat it and left him. Tusko, finding himself deserted, appar- ently proceeded to absorb every- thing edible at the fair, and there was 5 very pleasant even- ing. Some years sgo he is said to have gone on a night's ram- page which cost SS0,000. That was some night! Hence prob- ably the hurried exit of his owners, who foresaw another lively evening looming on the horizon. Meanwhile, while no- body loves Tusko, he refuses to eat worms. This last week has been re- markable for the way in which financial firms have been explod- ing. As people's nerves have not yet fully recovered from the )Var, it is to be hope dthat some other means will be found of at- tracting buyers to the ruinously low prices of stocks and bonds. On the other hand beautyparlors are filled with toilers having rubbed out of their noses the wrinkles put there by a growing d'.sgust for the irresponsibilities of the markets. To make mat- ters worse John Canuck has ad- aed 610,000,000 to his savings, and is hanging on to every dollar of that sum like a pup to 0 root. So nobody is happy, and the cross word puzzle no longer in- trigues. In the old country Snowden has put the last straw on the Labor Party's back and broken't by his expressed intention of oing to the Lords. They say it has acted like fly tox on Hender- son et alia, who are lying on their backs and buzzing them- selves to death. How 4)re the mighty fallen, or rather ascend- ed! In Japan two aviators also ascended, and landed just tn the south of us. The news- paper columns will now be bom- bsrded with the recital of their trip for several days, and, if that fails, we shall hear all about Kingsford-Smith, who is rapidly becoming a nuisance with his trips. I can only trust the mon- otony of these exploits will soon be relieved by the account of some one in a tank waddling over the North and South Poles. +CHOOL BOARD NOTES More applications were re- ceived for use of the Auditorium evenings during the winter than could be granted. The Board made the following reservations, a charge of 66.00 per month to be made for each evening the auditorium is in use: Monday: Ex-High School Stud- ent'3 Association.

The Department of Education advised that they would pay half the cost of equipment for phy- sics laboratory up to an amount of 6600.00. The Secretary reported that the following applications had been received in response to an- nouncement covering night school classes: Shorthand & Typewriting.... I Woodworking ..................'........ 2 Dressmaking .......................... 8 Ie was decided that this ad- vertisement be repeated, extend- ing the time of application to September 29th, and adding Public Speaking to the list of subjects. Letters were read from Miss N. Cornish and Mrs H. C. Lane asking that their names be placed on the substitute list. The Secretary was directed to forward these names to Princi- pals concerned. SCHOOI.S S)VIS)MING GALA The third annual Champion- sh:p Swimming Gals for the Lower Mainland Schools will take place at the Crystal Pool on Saturday, October 24th, and Saturday, October Slat, at I:SO p.m. sharp. There will be swim- ming competitions in free style, backstroke, also relay races in- cluding the B. C. Relay Champ- ionship, and the I metre board diving. It is understood that a number of West Vancouver scholars are taking part. IW )VEST VANCOUVER SCOTTISH SOCIETY Progressive Whist Drive & Dance THE WEST VAN NEWS +TIIE LITERARY SOCIETY This society, which has been carried on since 1918 with the exception of three of the war years, begins another session on Thursday evening, October )6th, when Dr. E A. Henry will deliv- er his presidential address on "Literature and Life." This will be sure to be worth hearing, for Dr. )Ienry is always incisive and practical, and the subject is one in which he is compjetely at home. The meeting on Thursday, Oc- tober 29th, will be devoted to the life and work of Michael Fsra- iisy, whose centenary came this year. The address will be deliv- ered by the editor, Mr. J. Porter. A lantern lecture on "London" will be given on November 12th, by our Municipal Clerk, Mr. W. Herrin, who as a Londoner him- self cannot fail to be a success. There has never been any ad- mission charge for the society'0 meetings and attendance at them is practically unrestricted. The program officials do not draw the line too strictly at lit- erary history and criticism. The programs might be more accur- ately described as "general;" but mere propaganda has never been acceptable, a tranquil atmo- sphere being preferred to 8 full house with excitement. The editor, however, is ready to con- sider any or')gina) paper which may be oifered, and to provide 3 date for its reading and discus- sion if subject and treatment are not technical or controversial. A cordial welcome has always a- waited any West Vancouver res- ident who has written 8 suitable paper, but who has not been able to find an opportunity of trying it out elsewhere for the first time. The editor is very willing to have papers on poets or poetry; but he has never been able to secure more than one such paper in 0 session. West Vancouver is somewhat unusual in the number of its residents wbo have a real love of musie; and it seems natural to expect an appreciation of the music of words to go along with The Manuscript Magazine, which appears at least once every session, gives an opportun- ity for the presentation of short papers. It has been 0 constant experience that a 10-minute paper has started 5 brisk dis- cussion which has included the whole meeting in the pleasant interchange of views. The Secretary of the Society is Mrs Selwood, who will be pleased to give further particu- lars to anyone interested. Her phone number is West 670L. hlUSICIANS'LUB CONCERT I.ARGELY ATTENDED An enthusiastic audience which filled the Legion Memori- al Hall to capacity greeted the first concert of the season put on last Friday evening by the Musicians'lub of West Van- couver.
