The B strength stage superstition may acquire is demonstrated by a well known actor now playing in one of the west end theatres. When- ever -this artist is on the way to the theatre and finds that he has for- gotten something invariably chooses a roundabout route to return for it, even using the servants' stairs and clambering through his bathroom window. One ‘of Berlin's most popular co- medians, who also has the reputa- tion of being a three bottle man after the show, is frantically su- perstitious about switching off or blowing out the light in his room. To preclude “such a fateful emer- goney” he undresses by the light of a candle, which he then extin- guishes in a basin of water.

LONDON, June z-—The alarming manner in which the system of pro- viding unemployment insurance for ipersons out-of-work-—commonly known as “the dole” in England—is seep- ing into the national life of Great Britain is reflected in the annual treturns of the Ministry which reveal that $250,000,000 was paid out in this way during 1926, This figure is $25,000,000 more than the sum disbursed in 1925, and the inerease is attributed to the trade depression due to the general strike and its aftermath. Effect of Strike According to the Ministry’s official return, the average number of per- sons given relief was about 1,046,000 | weekly, and the average payment per {head was $3.50—$4.00. In the earlier part of 1926, the year under review, unemployment fell Steadily week by week, says the return. Then came the tragic gei eral strike, and the unemployment figure jumped up to 1,105,916, “ex- clusive of persons who ceased work on account of the general strike and the coal dispute. up to the first week of July, when it was 1,645,000. Thereafter it dropp- ed slightly, but at the end of lh\" third week in November the figure| was still well over 1,500,000, and even at the end of the year it was 1,351 000."

Three Power Naval Conference To Stumble, Disarmament Plan GENEVA, June 2-—All will not be clear sailing at the coming three power naval conference convoked by President Coolidge. Observers who followed closely the work of the League's preparatory disarmament conference® in April and who are well acquainted with the Japanese viewpoint on disarmament, declare Japan's attitude will surprise the Anglo-Saxon powers. Japan is leaning toward the French naval disarmament thesis, that of limitation of global tohnage, in pre- ference to limitation by categories and by individual vessels, the Anglo- Saxon thesis as worked out original- lx_v at the Washington Copference. In fact French naval men admit privately the French and Japanese theses could very easily be harmon- ized. Very few differences of opinion divide them. Reject French Plan Japan's lack of agreement with the United States and Great Britain and her sympathy for the French idea was demonstrated more than once during the preparatory disarma- ment conference. British and American delegates categorically ®ejected M. Paul Bon- cour’s final naval limitation proposi- tion. The Japanese delegate. M. Sato, declared: “The French proposition (Continued on Page Eigit.)
