Well our .newspaper friend was right, j Premier Duplessis was anowed Under, and Canada is safe. Isola-1 tlon appears to be about ss popular here as in the U. S. Senate Our apple-cheeked cabby refusea to Join in the general rejoic ing. "Six of wan and haf a dizen of th other," says he, "one Frinchman takes the place of of 'em." And the cabby closed one blue against a dirty forefinger. "Crooked eh?" "Ivry WAN of thlm!" Committee rooms of a dozen at least a score of voters arrested, in Montreal alone, and yet everyone agrees It was a quiet election would be? We are staying at the Windsor hotel which Is at least 50 years old, but charges modern Park Avenue prices. This is possible thanks to the present King and Queen. When they visited Canada last May they chose this hotel as the "Queen" la older, the Mount Ritz smarter. There arc huge enlarged photos of the great occasion all over the place, the royal couple on the balcony, at the state banquet in the dining room, etc,, etc. That's enough for the aver age Canadian, In spite of its mid-Victorian and rather dingy atmosphere the Windsor remains the "class" for him. e Across the square from the hotel Is the Sun Life building, a HUGE affair rising into the air like a granite mountain, built at the cost of many millions at the height of the post-war boom. The Montreal Star persuaded the Sun to let them place a bulletin board and loud-speaker in front of the building, last night, to broadcast the election returns. o'clock when the polls closed, the first, Duplessis fell behind, started forging ahead with his two later there was no doubt about the result, so the crowd went home, and the broadcast was discontinued, in time to take in a movie or the theatre if one felt We did, and selected the only "legitimate" in town Barry Jones in "Charles the King" at His Majesty's theatre, under the auspices of the "British Council" A most elaborate costume affair, elegantly staged, and a huge company of over BO, a great Cavaliers. The author of the opus ford, Maurice Colborne, and In distinct and separate scenes, the spondent cold, very cold. But not the audience, far from It! His Majesty's is a large theatre, with three tiers of boxes on either side and the old fashioned gold-and-plush decor. It was jammed, including the lower boxes, and not with French Canadians either, but with "Westmount's Best," as thoroughly British as "from Bond Street to Mayfair," with, we should say, the average age of those assembled close to three score. We never heard of Barry Jones before and know nothing about "Charles the King," but believe the reaction of that typi cally British audience of considerable significance at this time. For the play completely upsets the Charles the 1st tradition, (at least what we have always SUPPOSED to be the tradition) that he was pretty much a reactionary "weak sister," and outside of Ireland at least, Cromwell was a staunch patriot and rendered a great service to liberal England. That Is not the theme of this play at all, in fact quite the reverse. Charles, in gorgeous velvets, knee breeches and laces after the Van Dyke school, is an idealist and humanitarian, sacri ficing everything for what he regards as the welfare of England, while Cromwell Is the bigot, tyrant and all-around roughneck, determined by fair means or foul, preferably the latter to do his royal Highness in. In fact in tho final trial scene the crowd the common peo ple are all for Charles the King, and their woman spokesman, who cries out against this railroading of His Majesty to the headsman's axe, Is branded with a hot iron, right there on the stage so all can see, by the Cromwell gangsters. As a rather stilted costume play, an elaborate and authentic historic spectacle, we can understand the interest of the Montreal audience, but not the deep KEELING. The sweet-faced, middle-aged woman on our right, frankly wept throughout the final scene and everyone rose to sing "God of nose-blowing which accompanies adult yielding to the emotions was general throughout tho house. To say there wasn't a "dry eyo In the house" would hardly be an exaggeration. Of course we may be wrong, that's ALWAYS possible, but to our mind the reaction of that audience, and the presentation OK SUCH A PLAY AT ALL at this time demonstrate that the feeling of the English people for their King and Queen, for the royal symbol and all that It stands for, Is stronger today than It has been for a great many years, and a vital factor In that sentiment Is the widespread fear that the days of Its survival may be numbered. There Is no corrupt practice act In Quebec. They close all "PUBS" election day, also banks, but electioneering goes on without shame. We decided It would be a good time lo take a sight-seeing bus, and see "Montreal for a dollar." We climbed Into a rattling old crate, which the driver apolo gized for, all the modern ones equipped with loud speakers were being used by the election forces, he explained! Never have we been given as much for our money In the direction of sight-seeing, the Island of Montreal being done up In grand style from top to bottom. There were only five passengers, a country doctor and his wife from New Jersey, a sight seeing business man from Los Angeles (we have yet to be In a group anywhere where L. A. Is not represented) your correspondent and an actress from New York, known as Nancy Williams. Not only did we get what we had paid for but more was thrown In, Including a collision with an armored car half way up the mountain, a sort of Table Rork plateau about BOO feet high, at the edge of town, on the slopes of which tycoons of Montreal reside, largely In granite castles. It was at a turn, on a fairly sleep grade, and our driver turning sharply lo avoid a motor car on his left failed to see the armored car coming up on the right, and the latter speeding ahead to escape the crash, failed by INCHES, the result being a sort of sideswipe, which made a lot of noise, but only put the bus out of commission for about a quarter of an hour while the broken bumper was lied up with wire and the right wheel straightened. The only casualty was the doctor'( wife, who with a bad heart had to receive first aid from her husband, and was so weakened by the shock that she didn't get out at any of the remaining stops. The actress was a brick and acted like a long lost sister and trained nurse for the remainder of the Journey. (Did you ever notice most actresses are like that when a crisis comes along") The driver came next. He was due for a bonus In three weeks, but this accident washes him up in that direction. "It makes no difference." he said mournfully, "WHETHER It's my fault or not", which should have been some consolation, for the fault WAS his. Never have we seen so many churches and cathedrals, so many hospitals and benevolent institutions, and so many graveyards The most surprising thing to us howe"ver was that Montreal has a Ghetto!

QUININE FOR Yesterday we ended our talk discussing the way of Common Respiratory Infections are spread by unguarded ( n e e zing and coughing and even in con versation. Oh, I know it is unpleasant to think about such infection But It is more unpleasant to catch the cri when you know in your iieart that had the so-and-so who peppered you exercised intelligence and con science you might have escaped the illness. I'm Just telling you. Not that I expect you will go about wear ing a mask, even when you have the early symptoms of the cri. Nor do I expect you will spend the rest of your life ducking and dodging wlicn people approach to speak to you and you suspect they have the cri. Still, I don't mind confessing that in some ticklish situations it takes all the courage I can muster to stand my ground when the Impulse is to throw up my guard my cupped hands before my face and beat it out of range as quickly as possible when some one buttonholes me to tell me what a dreadful "cold" he has or is Just throwing offl It is my honest belief that a clear comprehension of the sig nificance of the cri after all, it is not just a puerile attempt on my part to substitute a meaning less term for a misleading one, "cold" is the greatest protec tion one can have against such illness and such illness, be it remembered, accounts for three fourths of the business of medi cal practitioners the year around. x A more effective prophylactic measure against the cri, I be lieve, would be the universal custom of wearing suitable mask (screen) over the face, or con trlving some such screen be tween oneself and persons with whom one conversus. But tho public has not yet learned to use or respect such a measure. A third line of defense which is readily available for every body is good old quinine. Based wholly upon world wide experience and not on any The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by Tho North American Newspaper Alliance, Ino. Washington, Oct. 31. (P) Every government economist has a trace of the professional mourner which sometimes makes the thinkers' forecasts err on the gloomy side. Nevertheless, it Is significant that, in the midst of the present booming pros perity, the storm warnings arc out for a short but fairly sharp slump in January, February and March. The federal reserve pro duction Index, best of business indicators, is expected to drop from an estimated 125 In De cember to around 11a In the three bad months. The forecast deserves special attention for two reasons. In the first place, the government economists are remarkably unan imous. Recently, they have been MASQUERADE DANCE CHATEAU Tuesday Night, Oct. 31 V Brady, M D THE CRI scientific theory or observation, the value of quinine both as a prophylactic against any respira tory infection in time of epi demic and as a remedy when you are coming down with the cri, is recognized by physicians everywhere. The use of quinine as prophy lactic, say against the flu or in fantile paralysis or simple cory za, involves merely taking one grain of quinine sulphate, (tab let, pill or capsule) three times a day thruout the period of preva lence of the disease. As a rem edy when you come down with any such illness or indisposition, three grain every four hours for adults; for children one grain every four hours.

Answer The water In cities Is perfectly pure and safe for drinking. If you have to drink water at way side places, better see that It Is boiled, or In an emergency, put two or three drops of common brown tincture of Iodine In the quart of questionable water, let It stand 20 minutes before drinking.

Severly Hills, Calif. holding meets, comparing sta tistics, and preparing a series of reports for the President. A census of the federal reserve board, and the labor, commerce and agriculture departments re veals agreement on all essential points, and even the treasury experts, who are commonly so optimistic, are reported to sub scribe to the others' findings. In the second place, the opinion of the government economists is supported by the opinions of several of New York's shrewd est and biggest bankers. At the same time, the fore cast is not essentially pessimistic. Both economists and bankers confidently anticipate another booming upward surge follow ing the temporary business set back. Furthermore, there are grounds for belief that the fore casters may have underestimated the effect of war or'ders. They say that the real war boom can not get going until spring. But word comes from New York of substantial and as yet unan nounced orders' already running into the tens of millions, for such things as shoes and blan kets, p h a r m a ceuticals and woolens. , Finally, while treasury econ omist George Haas is understood to hove helped hoist the storm warnings, the very shrewd un-der-secretai-v of the treasury. John W. ..anes, continues as bullish as ever. Broadly speak ing. It may be said that most policy - making officials talk Dancing 9:30 p. m. 'til 2 a. m. WE FURNISH THE NOISE YOU HAVE THE FUN Good Dinner with Home Mad Pumpkin Pie GOOD MUSIC more cheerfully than their ex pert advisers. The economists and bankers expect a winter slump for one simple reason: They do not share Hanes' joyful hope that war orders and domestic con sumption will catch up with large bulges in manufacturers' and wholesalers' inventories reg istered in the last couple of months. The goods will be on the shelves. Temporarily, de mand will decrease. And, un til demand catches up with sup ply, business will slow down. The slump Is expected to be brief for reasons both more numerous and more complex: 1. A sound recovery was un der way before the war psy chology transformed it Into a boom. 2. While unhealthy price in creases are still feared, the economists think that prices have behaved surprisingly well so far. If undue Increases ap pear, the administration is pre paring to deal with them by the so-called "Donny brook Fair" method, which one new dealer summarized as "hitting them the minute they raise their little heads." 3. For the first time in the present recovery, the capital goods industries railroads, utilities, mines and the like have really begun to improve and replace their equipment. 4. Even though the present war orders are not enot.gh to keep business going, a real war boom is pretty sure to be under way by spring. Simultaneously, certain peaceful branches of the export trade, such as that to South America, are prospering vastly. And a large domestic armament program will even tually add its effect to the effect of the orders from Britain and France. The astonishing feature of the situation is that, for the first time in recent new deal his tory, a forecast of a slump has not yet promoted plans for an other extra-budgetary spending program. Of all governmental groups, the economists are close est to the new dealers. Spend ing Is the new dealerss' para mount doctrine. Yet they are not preparing to spend. Of course, the answer to this puz zle Is to be found in the confi dence that the slump will be short, and in the fact that the domestic armament program will constitute a sort of spending.

BRADY of Wlch ita, Kansas, said to the Na tional - Association of Real Es tate Boards, in session In Los Angeles: "The purchase of Manhattan island from the Indians for $120 worth of beads was a deal that was SATISFACTORY TO BOTH SIDES. The utility of Manhat tan island to the Indians was very small, because they had a surplus of land. The $120 worth of beads was highly desirable to them." THE point is that Manhattan " Island was BOUGHT, not CONQUERED, and the result were satisfactory all around. If the same method had been followed In Europe during the past thousand years or so, this would be a quite different world.

SECRETARY-HULL announces that the United States has demanded the return of the City of Flint. The point Is that Internationa! law does not sanction taking prizes into NEUTRAL ports ex cept under certain conditions. Including unseaworthiness.

If you will measure on the map the distance from where the City of Flint was taken to the Russian port of Murmansk, you will snicker cynically. At The National Capitol with John W.
