There are, however, cases of exploitation, and the Minister gave several illustrations, I had a case yesterday," he said. "A drew 2500. I stopped the pension. had the most furious letters.

Several Members of Parliament have interested themselves in the subject, and although we shall be told that this is an exmple of "Grandmotherly legislation" the idea is to protect the pillion rider against himself or herself. General observation leads to the conclusion that it is the-female sex which invites the law's interference.

THE PUOILIST AS HERO.

It is curious to note the amount of "lionising" which is accorded pugilists with big reputations in the ring in these days when they come to England from abroad. How much of this is due directly to extensive newspaper prapaganda and the desire to made a stunt, and how much to the natural liking of the public for boring champions as such it would be difficult to say. Probably the newspapers are largely responsible for it.

FACTS ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT."

In the Governmont plans for inding work for the unemplagud is included work on drainage schemes, on which, I learn, about £400,000 has already been expended. Approval has been given to 364 land drain age schemes, and more are under considera- tion. But either this nor any other Government can find work where work does not exist; and the best that can be done in this transition stage is to stare off the worst effects of enford f idleness.

On this subject some information has reached in which is of considerable general interest. I find that 12,000,000 people are now insured against the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" due to trade depression, compared with 2,750,000 Moreover, the amount of in 1918-14. unemployment benefit paid in the current year will amount to about £67,000,000, all of it disburse in small weekly sums, totalling 90,000,000 separate payments made over the counters of the Einployment Exchanges.

A few days ago when be travelled up to London after a visit to Manchester the word seemed to get round at every station at which the train stopped and instantly sa admiring little crowd gathered outside the carriage window. A number well-known politicians, including distinguished Cabinet Minister, were in the next com partment, but nobody took the least notice of them. "It is the same with Jack Dempsey, who has arrived from America. He has been photographed and fated, and written up" in the Press until one would imagine it is a greater thing to be a pugilist with a past than a prince with a future.
