GRIP IN AUSTRALIA
Lyons’ Government Retains
Majority in Parliament
Election.
8* the Associated Press.
MELBOURNE, October 24 (Sun
day).—Prime Minister Joseph A. Lyons’
coalition government retained Its
majority in the house of representa
tives today on the basis of the first
day’s tabulation of Australia's election
for the federal parliament.
The combined united Australian and
united country parties, which support
the present government, took 44 seats
while the labor opposition gained only
two for a total of 30.
It was believed that the govern
ment’s top-heavy majority in the fed
eral parliament's upper house also was
6afe.
Prime Minister Lyons campaigned
with a “tune in with England” slo
gan, urging close cooperation with
Britain and a bigger navy for Aus
tralia while attacking labor's “isola
tionist” defense policy.
Labor candidates demanded a big
ger air force and accused the gov
ernment of making secret conscrip
tion commitments to Britain, a charge
Vigorously denied by the government.
Lyons declared that if the “false
Issue” of conscription had not been
raised, the government's position would
have been even stronger.
The prime minister himself was
hard-pressed in his constituency and
his defense minister. Sir Archdale
Parkhill, was a running slightly be
hind an independent opponent.

BARBER SHOPS’SANITARY
CONDITIONS IMPROVED
Health. Department Inspectors
Make Series of Surprise Visits
to Establishments.
Marked improvement in the sani
tary conditions in District barber
shops was noted last week by Health
Department inspectors who made a
series of "surprise” visits to these
establishments.
The Health Department announced
yesterday that 14 inspectors had in
spected more than 400 shops in the
last week, some of them just before
closing time at night, and discovered
' only a few violations of the sanitary
regulations which resulted in the
issuance of warrants.
An increase in the inspection force,
permitted by the current District ap
propriation act, is enabling the Health
Department to keep closer surveillance !
over sanitary conditions in barber !
shops, restaurants and other public !
places.
