Thousands of attempts, much originality and suggestiveness, no- thing suitable--such is the jury of architects' report on the project for housing the League of Nations.. The best work, in their opinion, came from France, Italy, Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland, England being "unplaced," adn America, as non-member of the Lengue, not having been invited to compete. The jury ascribe the fruitlessness of their quest to "the transitional" phase through which architecture is passing, but fermenting ideas do not usually spell artistic sterility.

Large crowds in Penang were attracted to the Esplanade, anys the "Straits Echo," when the droning sound as of an aeroplane was heard. On closer approach, however, they were surprised to see a motor boat: skimming the waters, and -rushing hither and thither as if in gheer delight. The motor boat is said to have just been imported from England by 'Mr. Alan Loke's brother, for pleasure purposes, at a cost of something like $10,000. Its speed is stated to be 38 knots, and it is easily the speediest little craft in Malayan waters.

This luxurious boat it might be added. is a new departure for Malayan mil lionaires.

Admiral Baron Saito, Governor General of Koren, who is acting as chief delegate of Japan to the naval disarmament conference at Geneva..

The dead body of a woman owner of a sampan who, with six others, has been missing since Sunday evening, has been recover- ed from the beach at Char Quor Ling, near Lyemun Pass. It is be- lieved that the party of six was kidnapped with the sampan and that the woman, whone'body bears marks of violence, was murdered on showing resistance.

The most Indylike way of com- mitting suicide is by drowning, ac cording to the choice of exits made last year in Japan by women who had tired of Hitq. Hanging as a method of self-extermination runs drowning a close second, while only one out of every 215 women suteldes used a

Ia gun or revolver. Altogether, the police records show, 47,206 wo- men committed suicide in this coun- try during 1926, of whom 21,538 found a watery grave and 21,042 strangled themselves. More than TO per cent. of the suicides were committed during the warm months from May to September.

Curtains that do not suffer a "sea change" in the sea air, look cool when a ship is in hot climates and cosy when she is in colder lati- tudes, have been chosen for each of the five Blue Star liners now

between London and South erica, says a shipping paper. The material from which the cur tains have been made is lampas, a stuff closely resembling damask, but woven in three colours. The windows in the lounges of the Blue Star shijis are all curtained with lampas, and pelmets of the same material are used for finishing. Another specially troven stuff, brocatello, has been used for the smoking-rooms. the cosiest rooms in the ships. This is a very finely- woven silk fabric, composed solely of silken threads.

The English nature clings, to what is customary (observes a Small "Daily Chronicle" writer), wonder that the London coster- mongers (originally costard_apple sellers), threatened by the County:

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL NEWS.

Says the "Singapore Free Press:" His Excellency the Governor, in addition to his many other accom- plishments, is an expert motorist, and much prefers driving to being driven. He has bought n new standard Austin open touring car, which he will drive himself. The car is an ordinary standard model, except for the Governor's coat-of- arms on the panels, and the Union Jack. The car was ordered some. time ago in Ceylon, and was ship- ped from London to Singapore, to be assembled by Berneo Motors, Limited.

How many readers of the papers know Mrs. Stanley Baldwin's Christian name? A leader-writer in "The Times" (commenting on the problem of the titular description of married women) speaks of it as one "of aerene beauty and inspiring a880- ciation." The name is Lucy: and the associations range from a saint with beautiful eyes to the less spiritual Lucy Lockit of "The Beggar's Opera," Perhaps our favourite Lucy is the lady of "Richard Feverel," our fathers' was no doubt the unhappy bride of Lammermoor. Most of the | Lucys of literature seem to be unhappy: is that why the name has rather fallen out of favour?

Professor Adolf Mietho, of Germany, whose recent statement that he had discovered a method of producing gold from mercury has brought him wide notoriety.

Within recent years Viscount Grey has suffered from eye trouble, and he is frequently seen in public wearing coloured 'glasses, At his functions in Glasgow, in mail week, he dis- pensed with any protection for the eyes. In bright daylight he can distinguish figures, but a journey in the train is now some- what irksome as he cannot in- dulge in reading. The prepara- tion of speeches and political work is done in artificial light| with the aid of special glasses. Physically he seems in excellent health, and as a speaker he re- tains all his old powers of lucid exposition.
