DEFEAT OF SOCCER CHAMPIONS.

EDINBURGR, September 8th, The great League encounter was the defeat of Rangers, the Champions, by Airdrieonians. The success of last year's League runners-up was fully merited, as though "Rangers scored arst, Airdrieon ians, especially throughout the Erst half, were superior in attack and sounder at half-back. Airdrieonians' victory placed them at the head of affairs, and though!

The shortage in supply, therefore, has had to be set by import- "ing rice from abroad, largely from British India, Sium, and French Indo- China, and from California and China in varying quantities. As a result, a large amount of specie has flowed out of Japan year after year.

DRAWING THE DOLE... Ex-seamen living in the neighbourhood are often prepared for a touch of adven ture and act as links in the smuggling chain. One man who is believed to be concerned in the traffic is otherwise unemployed and draws the dole.

Sir Harry Lauder began to get really cross. Here was a police sergeant who fiatly declined to believe a word he said, and who evidently thought he was at tempting to steal the motor car. Hap pily, just at this moment Mr. Sutherland came out of the shop, and Sir Harry beaving a sigh of relief, said: "Well, here's Mr. Sutherland, the Manager of An-explanation followed.

On the request of several organisation

of journaliste, the International Labour Once has circulated to a number of organisations of professional journalists tionnaire covering their conditions of in a large number of countries a ques employment. The main points to which attention is drawn are the legal status of the members, the labour market, con- tracts of service, conditions of employ- ment, remuneration, provident instit tions, organisation, and the general posi tion of the profession. Journalistic in- stitutions of over 20 countries have been approached in this matter, and a number of detailed and carefully prepared replies bare already been received. In particu lar the reply of the Syndicate des Jour- nalists of France should be mentioned, which, in a document of 43 pages, given very interesting and complete replies to the points raised.

While it is at present too early to give a full account of the results of this en- quiry, which will be printed in due couran by the International Lahour Office, it is safe to say that the replies that have been received to date indicate that in a large number of countries the profession of journalism is, in view of the journalists' associations, insufficiently remunerated and protected. The majority of the re- plies. insist on the necessity for regular contracts of service," insurance against risks, and better pay.
