quebec swings into action people in ontario and other pro vinces in the dominion cannot con sider this a purely local development this quebec situation the moment the quebec federal members led by hon ernest ipolnte jumped into the fray to battle against duplessls the situation became a dominion problem of vital interest to all cluaens just consider for a moment what mr iapotnte bald when he stepped in to challenge mr duplessls move against conscription and for provincial autonomy the federal cabinet min ister declared in effect that the pro vincial ministers act was one against canada national war effort that he and his fellow quebec members would fight firmly against duplessls crowd and after the smoke of battle cleared away he verdict of the quebec elec torate would be accepted now it may be dangerous in these times to read too much into the utter ances of our public men but mr la- pointes declaration commands atten tion as far as we can learn at this mom ent chances for a duplessls victory are bright in spite of the opposition of the federal members and the signs of disaffection within the ranks of the quebec premiers organization the resignation jbl hon gilbert lay- ton minister washout portfolio and the desertion of w r bulloch mem bar for westmount duplessls through a gigantic public works program has long been preparing tor this appeal to the voters and it would require some unforseen development to shake the majority of frenchcanadians away from the union natlonale if this is the situation then what what then would be the meaning of mr lapointe s statement that the ver dict of the electors would be accepted according to one ottawa mformant there is a feeling current in the cap ital that the acceptance would be challenge to the rest or the country and that tin most llkel development of a uctor for duplessls would be ceneral election in which mr king tnd his cabinet nould seek to rein force the countrs s determination to ms it w ir

and this meant he could keep chickens and study the psy chology of the domestic fowl some thing hed wished to study for ages it also meant a satisfactory increase in salary and increased personal prestige y but the president demanded a married man and the last thing oo earth professor wakes wanted wae a wife women m his mind were composed of those who ministered to his comfort such as cooks and those dreadful flappers whom he didnt know but occasionally glimpsed through what he described as the written word he rang the bell mrs lawrence had acted as housekeeper for him and his crony assistant professor dawson in the ethnology depart ment for seven years he had some respect for the judgment of mrs lawrence ah good morning good morn ing he said fussily when mrs lav- rence appeared no bad news i hope professor she asked taking an indicated chair by the window t no er that is to say i fear t is bad for you and er for me too i have been very comfortable m your house mrs lawrence very comfortable indeed mrs lawrence smiled and wait ed a sensible woman thought the professor most of them would have demanded to know why it was bad news the university of crewe be said asks me to come and fill the chair of zoology a very desirable position i am thankful you will get the recognition you deserve cried mrs lawrence of course i shall miss you but i must not think of my self vhen such a fine offer comes your way a noblehearted woman said the professor to himself and good look- w tee never noticed it before bat he continued aloud there is one consideration that will i fear prevent my accepting the position what is that if i may ask mrs- lawrence smiled charmingly pro fessor wakes didn t know her neph ew was a freshman at crewe uni versity er the position is usually held b a married min a house goes with it and er in short i fear it is no or me i am too old a man to usider er marri ije isn t that rather inrd on some nut oung frl professor ery iitt now i know some real
