2nd, London, England, 2958; 3rd, Toronto score of 2890, The individual scoring of the winning team was: A.W.Seaman of Westmount, 100; W.J.Laf.ferty, 100; T.L.Jamieson, 100; W, Halton, 100; C.W.Foam, 100: T.L.Jamieson, 100;

Layton 728; and Petrie 214, The Westmount electorate voted in favor of a Liberal candidate * for the first time in 40 years.With no Conservative in the running they had to choose betwesn a Liberal, Independent, and National Union man.In the light of current issues they went to the polls in favor of the former.Westmount residents, realizing the Importance of the issue, went to the polls in record numbers.Generally feeling that they faced the largor issue of Canadian unity against the forces of disunity and disloyalty, they submerged all party considerations and voted for the candidate they thought best able to put their wishes into ef- fact.Poll by poll results in the Woat- mount soction of the riding are as follows: POLL No.1 _ (680 Victoria Avenue) Layton 11;

professional hockey c'ub team will meet a team of professional all-stars in a match for the benefit of the family of the late Babe Seibert.The all-stars will include top ranking players, and will be managed by Art Ross.The match is attracting wide attention, not only because of the purpose for which it is being staged, but because local fans will be able to get a line of the team that will represent Canadiens (Seibert\u2019s old team) in the coming campaign.The Babe was one of the most popular players ever to don the steel blades here, and his tragic drowning last - summer cast gloom over the entire sporting world.The Babe made his home in Notre Dame de Grace, and was a familiar figure around local softball diamonds during the summer months.It is expected that a capacity crowd will turn out to pay tribute to his memory.OVER THE TOP Once again workers in the annual Federated Charities campaign have gone \u2018\u2018over the top,\u201d and this city has maintained its reputation as being one of the most generous in the world when appeals to its charity are made.The objective was a huge one\u2014three quarters of a million dollars \u2014 and its attainment is no small achievement, even for Montreal.The effectiveness and efficiency of the federated system of charity is now well known, and workers can devote most of their time to se'l- Ing the idea of larger contributions, rather than of explaining and defending the federated system.Montreal has again shown its deep concern for those in want in the most practical way \u2014 with dollars.NOT TOO FAST WITH PRICES £ Rises in prices or rumors of rises have be- \".come a familiar story to any woman who is doing much family shopping these days.Actually the rumors are more numerous than the rises, and it is interesting to note that the ~~ Index for retail foods in the United States showed a slisht decline for the week ended October 10, though sti'l well above the prices before the war in Europe.° If the war continues to be fought cau- tlously it may be a long time before any sharp ve He.effects are felt in demands in markets.Hence, while gradual increases may be normal in some commodities, apart from the war, there is concern among some economists lest industry go too far in piling up stocits of goods against a demand which may not develop as rapidly as expected.Even in woo!, which may be accounted a war commodity, a manufacturers\u2019 spokesman testified the other day in a tariff hearing that stoppage of British peacetime orders has turned back a considerable vo'ume of woollen textiles on American markets.LEADING THE FIRST BRIGADE Appointment of Lieut.-Col.Armand A.Smith, M.C., of Winona, to command of the First Infantry Brigade of Canada\u2019s first overseas division, is interesting in view of the recent proclamation by Ottawa that merit, not influence, is to decide promotions and appointments, Inasmuch as Col.Smith is a brother-in-law of Attorney-General Conant, some might be inclined to the hasty conclusion that this relationship might have had something to do with his selection.to think, however.It wou'd be erroneous so Col.Smith comes of a staunch Conservative family, his father, Mon.Ernest Disraeli Smith, being one of the oldest members of the Senate, both as to age and service, Now in his 85th year, Senator Smith was a Tory member of the House of Commons from 1900 until the election of 1908.He was one of Sir Robert Borden\u2018s lieutenants in the reciprocity campaign of 1911, and was made a senator in 1913, Even though his sister is the wife of a Liberal attorney- general, Col.Smith is a Conservative.His appointment is based upon merit.His four years\u2019 service as an infantry officer in the First Great War, and his winning of the Military Cross in 1918, sp2ak for themselves.He vo!- untarily reduced his rank in the First Great War so as to get into action.He was the acting officer commanding the 161st Battalion when the Fifth Division was broken up to provide reinforcements for the other four.Incidentally, he is relinquishing an important business position to accept his appointment, being vice-president and general manager of the E.D.Smith and Sons, Ltd., fruit growers and shippers.A SUCCESSFUL APPEAL According to reports, the tag day on behalf of the Schoo! for Handicanned Children last Saturday was an outstanding succass, particularly the results in this district.And the success was achieved in spite of the fact that rain in mid-afternoon forced a suspension of activities for the balance of the day.The school authorities were particularly pleased with the conscientious work of the children.The cause is a worthy one, and general satisfaction will be expressed with the results of the appeal.HERE TUESDAY Many rver-ons promirent \u2018wv art civeles here and friends und rels- tives attended the funeral service for the late Frank Robert Heaton at his residerice, 3136 Westmount Boulevard, on Tuesday afternoon at 2.30 o'cl ck.Ven Archdeacon A.P.Gower Rees officiated.In- ternient was \u2018u Mount Royal Cezn- etery.Mr.Heaton, head of the firm of W.S.Srett and Sons, well-known art dealers piior to their retirement from business early in May died at his 1v
