NOW 1S TIME FOR ACTION 1 DEPREDATIONS © OF TUSSOCK MOTH ARE NOT BEING CHEUKED Should the City Take Action?--Great Quantities of Leaves are Being Eaten by the Pests, "Dhe tussock moth which has been doifg so, much damage in various parts of Canada and the United States continues its ravages in King- ston and no very stringent measures seem to have been taken against it. Citizens do not seem to have been generally aroused to the seriousness of the situation. If the depredations of the pest are allowed to continue | the outlook for shade trees is poor indeed. The moth seeks good company and has infested the best parts of the residencial section around King, Bagot and Barrie streets and the city park, Along the trees running by the street mailway track the little cacoons can be seen and in them is the troublesome pest. Undoubtedly Prof. Klugh's sug- gestion that the nests be removed from the trees is the best that has been made at this late time and a thorough arousing citizens to the situation is needed, There, should be no dilly-dallying in this matter. One 'gentleman pointed out to the Wihig that the trees in the 'city were the property of the city. As soon as a tree is planted on the street it be- comes civic property and he was of the opinjon that the city should take such action as it saw fit. However, time for action has come and the sooner the tussock moth is eliminat- ed the better, SU MMER SC 'THOOL CLOSED A Profitable Six Weeks - Have Been Spent in Kingston. On Friday Queen's University Summer School was officially closed. Year by year men and women have been coming to the University to broaden their educational outlook and to increase thei knowledge.

The Summer School has gained a reputation not énly in Ontario, but all over the Dominion of Canada and from north and south, east and west the students have come, The school thas prospered and each student is urged to further its work wherever possible. © An advertising campaign all over Canada has brought forth magnificent results, J.

A Visitor Says That Kingston Stands Surprisingly H A visitor to the city recently said: "I have always heard sad stories about the unprogressiveness of Kingston. There are more cars seemingly here in proportion to the population that in any place that I 'have ever been in, and that is sur- prising 'when one considers - your roads." x The thought is certainly a true one in' that Kingston to-day stands out as.-one of the foremost cities in the automobile world. - Everything "MON © We have opened a branch our of marble and grasnite.

It is indeed a credit to the city that it should stand out in this way to the visitor and thus present a fact which, be- cause of its familiarity, is lost to the local resident.

As the tug Myra was proceeding down the river Monday night with the coal laden barges Arthur, Middlesex and J. D. Dunn in tow, the vessel's steering gear broke, and it became necessary to cut loose from the barges, which were swept by the swift current against Canada Island, abreast of Morrisburg. The current runs about nine miles an hour at that point, ang the tugs were thrown hard aground. The Ar- thur is in a serious position, being six feet out all around, and the other two barges are but little better off. The tug managed to save herself. The underwriters were notified and the Donnelly wrecking fleet will be asked to release the stranded ves- sels. The barges sprung a leak af- ter striking, and are mow full of water. The Middlesex brought up against an old barge, which was sunk a year ago, and her sterm was badly twisted by the impact. Bowling Games Played.
