THE KING OF HOLIDAY,

Sir Alan Sinith, chairman of the In dustrial Group of the House of Commons, has made public certain correspondence between the Prime Minister and himself regarding the problem of employment during the coming winter,

The Prime Minister, in a letter to Sir Allan Smith dated August 3rd. declares that as the real cure for employment Cowes this year was reminiscent of the lies in the restoration of stable conditions brave days before the war, The presence throughout the world and in the develop of a very large number of beautiful yachts ment of now markets, the tavernment's gave a suggestion of wealth and comfort polity has been consistently directed to that recalled old times at their best wards the settlement of the reparation Each day but its round of pleasure, with problem, besides which efferts have Been snopping or sailing in the forenoon, tea made particularly to facilitate the normal parties on beard or on the exclusive flow of trade and the plicing of industrial lawns of the Royal Yacht Squadron Clairders, in the afternoon, pe motoring trips round the Telán, and dancing at night.

The King and Queen give themselves up to the full enjoyment of a well-earned holiday. The King spent most of his time on board the Britannin, and yachts men noted with satisfaction that he frequently leut a hand at hauling in the immense mainsheet. Queen Mary was as usual cheerful and homely, delighting everyone with whom she ease into con tact, he did a good deal of mutoring, taking ten informally in all sorts of places Her Majesty, as is well-known, is fond of collecting okl glass, and she "visited a number of quaint little antique shops in search of treasures, making many purchases,

The memorial service in Westminster Albey ought to stal out as a landmark in the history of the relations of (arent Britain and the United States. Its signi. ficance lies in the net that it was a guttoring of the two sister peoples to do honour to the President in what some bode has called the rentral shrine for both nations, The Abbey couki have been led many times oror. Hundreds of Americans were, unable to obtain tie kets, and they rendered their homage by standing outside silently with heads bares.

Passing along Whitehall I noticed that a beginning has been made with the work of establishing a zone of silence around the Cenotaph. Some time ago a. Com pny wrote to the Westminster City Council offering to lay a rubber roadway on each side of the Cenotaph for a dis tance of fifty yards at their own expense The Company is interested in rubber paving, and the offer was accepted. An Area of about 1.500 square yards will he treated by a patent process which banishes sound, and the cost will be about £6,000. I am assured that when the work is completed the Cenotaph will rise like an island in which no noise of any vehicle will be heard, despite the ceaseless tide of traffe which flows past on either side. It is a rather poetic idea,shire who bad como un to.

The call of the sea or the open country cannot be resisted.

I learn that the Ministry of Transport is in communication with the principal motor organisations in the country with a view to evolving a plan for the com- pulsory insurance of motorists. It is departure which has much to recommend it. The matter is regarded Rs urgent because there has been an unprecedented number of fatal motor accidente this year. and in many cases recently persons who were injured by motors, or the relatives of persons who were killed, have heen unable to secure compensation.

Of course, the vast majority of motor fats are adequately insured against what (Continued at foot of next column,)

-During this month of August, while Londoners are getting out of Laudon on holiday, the railway companies are bring- ing multitudes into London. There are reduced fares from distant parts of the Kingdom.

They have come hy special trains.
