Hero Is HOnored
The spirit of thankfulness of the
English people which made them cele-
brate n whole week following the battle
of Trafalgar and then follow bare
headed. probably through fog or rain,
the hearse which carried the body of
Lord Nelson to st. Paulis, still fingers
in the present generation.
Each "Trafalgar Day"-October 81
the famous London column erected to
the hero of the battle is .decked with
sarlands and the base of the monument
by the king, the prime minister, the

and Army clubs of England and a
separate remembrance from the officers
and men of each fighting ship in the

Queen and Nobels, gather each year
in st. Paul's to attend a memorial
service and hear the dean recall, as

During the present short. campaign
set" meal times have gone by the
board, and the Gtaid British man or
woman-who usually is seldom late for
luncheon or dinner-eats almost any
where or anyhow, just wherever he
happens to be when the pangs of hunger
make themselves felt
This revolution vii, continue until
election day, and may possibly impair
Il good many digestions, but that will be
forgotten when the election results are
known.
Much good work has been done by
the society women volunteers" who
put oil their best clothes and make
house to house canvasses in favor of
their particular candidates. Most of
these helpers are well up in politics
and generally have been coached by the
officials. They can answer most reason
able questions on pressing topics and
get away with it with a happy smile
