UNEMPLOYMENT SITUATION IMPROVING.
Loxpoy, October 4.
Mr. Lloyd George at Inverness, referring to the question said: “We had some hopes that we should have furthered it in the Highlands but we have not succeeded.

The ladies are now beginning to think of winter sperts. Arrangements have already been made for the use of a commodious hall and it is hoped to secure sufficient support to justify the formation of a Badminton Club within the Association. We believe this is something quite new for Shanghai, or, at least, if there has been a Bad- ininton Club before, it has been kept very exclusive and quiet. Many may smile when they reart of Badminton and call it a trifling game.
