 Of the five regular acts, Dane Clau. dius and Lillian. Scarlet in banjo con. trast of modern and old time melodies brought the most vigorous and pro- longed applauses. The banjoists played with rare and engaging technic, and after giving a few popular hits turned to the songs of yesteryear so successfully that the audience was i'm mediately won.

Accident Near Webster Causes Lons
 Wait For People at Putnam

Southbound sections of the State of Maine express were delayed over an hour Sunday night when four cars of a long freight train were derailed near Webster, blocking the rails and making 1t necessary for the expresses 70 take a roundabout route to reach this city. The ears ran of the track near the J. B. Prescott and Sons foun- dry, a split rail causing the derail- ment. The train was bound from New Haven to Worcester, and had just started moving after stopping for water at the Webster station. The ears derailed were near the end of the train, and bumped over the ties for about 100 feet before the engineer could stop. 4 wrecker set them back on the irons after several hours.
 Several passengers for the State of Maine al Putnam had long wait on the station platform, since the waiting room Is not kept open for the night trains. It is indeed fortunate that the accident happend to the freight, since had one of the expresses been the victim there might have been serious consequences

British Royal Time
Half Hour Fast

London. Jan. o3-(A. Il. by MaiD-
The announcement that King George
would eat his Christmas dinner at
S 80 o'clock at Sandringham caused
surprise for it is against custom for
Esi Majesty to dine at any other tine
than s o'clock.
This, however. has been explained
by a generally unknown fact that for
more than half century all of the
clocks at the royal estate at Sand
bingham have been kept half an hour
ahead, of Greenwich time. The idea
was introduced by King Edward
when Prince of Wales. and was Dor
roWed by lTim from Il neighbour, the
late Earl of Leicester 10 whom in the
early days of their married life the
late king and his bride were frequent
visitors.
1t was the earrs custom to keep all
of the clocks on his estate. half an
hour fast so as to insure punctuality.
The prince was so taken with the
IDEA that he adopted il.
This seemed to have beeen unnoc-
essary for SO punctual at most times
was the late king that he gained the
reputation of never being late
So well was the custom worked out
in practice and so deep rooted is 1t
among the villagers that there is no
other time in the village and even the
trains stopping there use it.

Four u. S. Industries
Lessen Employees

Geneva, Jan. FLA. i. by MaiD-
Figures showing the world unem-
pioyment situation, published by the
International Labor Review, indicate
that during September and October
last no important change occurred in
general unemployment conditions
except in Germany.
In Germany unemployment reached
proportions hitherto unknown in that
country. About ten percent of the
five million workers covered by the
returns were reported to he without
work. and nearly forty percent OF the
total at worl; were cited as laborinG
on short hours. In contrast TO the
experience in Germany. q decrease in
unemployment las been taking place
in Czechoslovakia, Austria and Po-
land.
The report continues: in the Unit
ed States a small contraction in en-
p'oyment has taken place. This de-
crease was shown particularly in the
carriage and wagon industry and in
tho manufacture of rubber. boots and
shoes, automobile tires and agricul-
tUlul implements"
