Rely On Promises. Chicago, Oct. 28.--Terms of thu railroad labor board's tinal ruling on the strike, if the board decides one shall be necessary, as discussed in- formally by members of the hoard, brought out these salient points: First--That the impending walk- out must not be called. Second---That the walkout, if call- ed, will be in violation of the trans- portation act, as it will be in rebel- lion against decision No. 147--the July 1-wage cut made by the board pursuant to its authority under the act, ? Third--The board will regard the strike if called for any other reason than dissatisfaction With the July 1 decision ag evidence of "conspiracy to paralyze transportation." The board holds it would be con- trary to court decisions, and that the "right to strike" exists only where the strike is called upon grounds set forth in strike ballots. This referrea to statements by some union leaders 'that they feared. further reductions in wages and changes in working con ditions would be made by the roads. Fourth---That members of the 'Big Five" and Telegraphers' union Femain at work and raly upon the board to safeguard thelr interests from further encrogchments, possi-, bly contemplated by the roads.

Ottawa, Oct. 28.--Quebec's im- moderate hopes as to total popula- tion are doomed to disappointment. Instead of the 2,500,000 confidently anticipated by Quebeckers it appears of the census will show that Prov- ince to have somewhere between 2,- 300,000 and 2,350,000 people. This is of tremendous electoral significance to the rest of Canada. It means that the unit of representation in the House of Commons will be be- tween 35.000 and 36,000 instead of the 38,461 which has been accepted hitherto on the basis of Quebec's ex- pectations. The Province had 2,032.- 000 in 1911, and the unit of repres entation was about 30,000, whichgave Ontario 82 seats, Nova Scetia 16, Prince Edward Island 4, New Bruns- wick 11, Manitoba 15, Saskatchewan 16, Alberta 12, British Columbia 13, Yukon 1 and Quebec always, 65. Ontario's Chances Better, Yesterday politicians believed that 38,461 would be the basis, and that Ontario would lose eight eeats. Twu- day, late though partial and unoffi- cial -information makes it apparen: that Ontario will probably lose not more than four seats, On the new basis Nova Scotia will have 15 seats instead of 16, New Brunswick wi'! probably retain the 11 seats she now has, and Prince Edward Island will have three instead of four seats. That will mean a total of 172 seats for the Provinces east of Manitoba, a joss of six seats. The West will gain proportionate- ly, but not nearly to the extent eot- pected by Westerners, British Colum - Lia, especially, which expects the cen- -yare being made to illuminate sus to show a population of 600,000, is doomed to disappointment.

Funds are badly need- ed for this deserving cause, and aot- ing on an appeal from the pocie'y, the Rotary Club decided to get behind a campaign in its benefit. The St. Andrew's Highland Cadi- ots will be posted at corners on the main streets downtown to receive con'ributions and citizens are urged to give all possible support to the ef- fort. It is not necessary to go into de- tail when speaking of the worthiness of this cause. For many years the Children's Aid Society has been op- eraling in this city and #t has done work the beneficial extent of whish cannot be estimated. The children of to-day are the citizens of to-mor- row, and on the upbringing of the Canadian (baa ren depends the stand- ard of Canadian citizenship in years "0 come. The society keeps a watchful eye open for little folks who are not receiving a square deal. Cases where the parents are dead or are incapable of taking proper care of children, where guardians have been meglecting the duty entrusted to them, are promptly dealt with by the agent of the Children's Society and the youngsters placed im sur- roundings where they will be given a chance to become useful to them- eelves and the community. The grants made to the society fcr this work are totally inadequate to cover the scope of operations. There- fore the Rotary Club has stepped in with its motio of "Service before | Self" to fill the breach. Rotarisn Louis Best is supervising the ar- rangements and a member of the club will be on the board in charg» of the expenditure of the money raised. Every citizen should support the Rotary Club's effort to help along this worthy cause.

ARE DISPUTED Number Released on Parole From Portsmouth Prison Was 136 in 1915. Referring to the report that the Ticketff-Leave act was not function- ing a statement has been made to tke press by W.-P. Archibald, parole of- ficer, Ottawa, as follows: "The entire releases from King- oton penitentiary for the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1921, were 77 on parole. . This year already 53 have been released on parole, only seven months of the fiscal year. At this rate the "releases would show a slight in- crease over last year, which was the largest number of releases on parole from Kingston penitentiary for any single yeat." | This statement by the parole offic- er is not in accordance with the facts which he has in his possession. The report of the inspector of penitentiaries for the year 1915 shows that there were released from Portsmouth on parole that year 136 prisoners, whereas the number released by the expiration of sentence was only 56, showing how rapidly the parole law was functioning. Now it is not functioning when only 7% prisoners are liberated as stated by Parole Officer Archibald, for 1920. product.

MUST HAVE ITS SUPPORT Lloyd George Wants Show Down. By Parliament ox Irish Issue, London, Oct. 28.--Lloyd George yeterday proposing to the house of commons that it set aside next Mon- day for a discussion on the motion of Unionist members of parliament condemning the present negotiations with representatives of Sinn Fein Ire- land, said he hoped there would be a vote on the question. Lloyd George, in making the pro- posal, declared: '"No government can conduct negotiations of that 'kind wihout knowing that it has the sup- port of the house of commons, from which it derives its authority." Just before he made the proposal Lloyd George was asked whether the Irish conference was still proceeding, to which he replied in the affirma- tive. Mr. Lloyd George introduced his proposal with this statement: "As it is evident that there is a section of the members of the house who have serious misgivings regard- ing the conference which now is pro- ceeding between representatives of His Majesty's government and repre- sentatives of the Sinn Fein members from Ireland, I think it is essential that we should know where we stand as a government before we go very much further." This statement evoked great cheer- ing. Will Back Up Government. London, Oct. 28.--The house of commons will be confronted 'next Monday by Lloyd George when 2 asks for a mandate relative to the continuance of negotiations between delegates of the government and the Sinm Fein. The belief was expressed by the newspapers today that the govern- ment would 1eceive a big majority | on Monday in support of the policy | followed relative to Ireland, and that the ministry's hands would be s'ren- gthened. THE LENGTH OF LOCKS IS NOT A CRITERION Bobbed.

Guth, president of Goucher College of Baltimore. While a little vanity is good for any wo- man, "bobbed brains" are a more vital subject than bobbed hair, ac- cording to President Guth. "It is difficult to see why harmless feminine whim has aro such widespread discussion," Dr. Guth added, "unless perhaps it is true that we delight in making mountains out of molehills. For all the evidence visible from a, college office points to the fact that the young girl of today is aiming toward a standard not to be compared with uniform coiffures--the standard of real usefulness in the home, in the community and in the world of busi "S80 much has been said abou} the vanities and frivolities of the "mo- dern girl that it is only fair to point out that the average girl of today is far better equipped mentally than the girl of a generation ago.
