It is characteristically Churchillian that the British Prime Minister should take the reverse his government suffered on the amendment to the Education Hill, which the most of people might consider as rather an inconsequential matter in comparison with the vital issues pertaining to the war, as a major issue and demand a direct vote of confidence to clear the atmosphere. That the vote of confidence would be quickly and emphatically given was anticipated particularly since Mr. Churchill had unequivocally announced that failure to give it would involve the resignation of himself and his government. It was inconceivable that Mr. Churchill should be thrown overboard now. Possibly it is just as well that there should be a direct test of Parliamentary .temper so as to curb any tendency there might be to petty bickering and sniping at a critical time such as this. Mr. Churchill in effect declared .that he intends to be master or nothine of his Parliamentary household and the House could take it or leave it at that. Stephen Leacock . . . Three decades of McGill University students will remember Stephen Leacock not so much as the eminent economist as the large man with the unruly hair who used to send the classroom into uproarious laughter with his jokes. Similarly, to his larger audience outside the college walls, it is rather by the cheerful nonsense of such books as "Literary Lapses" and "Behind the Beyond" that he became celebrated than by his, works on political economy, biography and history. Dr. Leacock said himself he would rather have "written 'Alice in Wonderland' than the whole of the Encyclopaedia Britannica." The McGill professor had many whimsical eccen- tricities. He hated telephones and would go to al- - most any length to avoid talking over one, yet there were two telephone lines in his home and an elabor- ate system of electric bells for use in case some mem-C ber of the household became ilL He was on bad terms with dress ties. When he m appeared in evening dress, his tie 'would be tied in a single overhand knot with the ends casually hanging down his shirt-front. Fond of the theatre, Leacock would not go unless he could have a seat in the front row'so no one would be bobbing about in front of him. j His watch, firmly fastened to his person with a substantial gold chain and a large safety pin, was 'carefully wound daily, but he almost never looked at u. He was always urging young people to get married. He would say: "You "can afford a few household articles and a can to go to the corner for some beer what more do you need?" Careless about the crease in his trousers. Lea cock was meticulous about pocket-handkerchiefs and stacks of them were placed about his home so a fresh one was always at hand. During the dry era in United States, Leacock's doctor advised him to take his family to the seashore in Maine. Because he didn't like prohibition he went to Europe instead. Famous for his cocktails, 'compounded of Cuban rum and cream, Leacock preferred a spot of Scotch whiskey over his billiard game after the day's work was over. When his students, who had watched with annre- .hension the gradual disintegration of his lecturer's gown, bought a new one for their economics profes-sor, he wore it one day only. Then he was back in the familiar relic. As he contemplated his retirement, the notion came to him of going back to his birthplace in England, but he decided against it. "I'll stay in Canada," he wrote. "There is something t in its distances and iholation and its elimate that appeals forever. Thank vou, Mother England. I do't think I'll come 'home. I'm 'home' now. Fetch mo my carpet slippers from the farm. I'll rock it out to sleep, right here."
