LABOR MOVE TO CUT
G SUBS IS RUMORED
Commons Hears Cabinet Will
Reduce Navy Program as
Gesture to America.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated PTeSS.
LONDON, July 1l.-There were per-
sistent reports today In the Hobbies Of
the House of Commons that the new
Labor government had decided to elm
mate from the current naval building
program six submarines and their nee
essary parent craft.
The decision was said to have been
taken at yesterdays cabinet meeting,
the ministry being influenced partly by
the disaster to the HAT and partly by
a desire to make gesture of disarm-
ament intention to the United States.
It was said also to express a ministerial
desire for abolition of all submarine
warfare.
The governments wish to reduce the
naval program it inherited from the
Baldwin Conservative government Is
well known. The ministers would like,
it was understood, to do more than
eliminate submarines from the plan,
which embraces also two cruisers and
nine deStroyerS.
Minister for the Navy Alexander told
a questioner in the Commons yesterday
the premier would soon make a state
ment covering the entire question of q
shipbuilding program. It was thought
this statement when finally made might
include a decision to reduce consider
ably the naval establishment at Ber-
muda
While the report of intention to elm
mate the six submarines received wide
credence, there was another repol {
that the cabinet yesterday failed to
reach decision, being divided between
desire for reduction and consideration
of the fact that abandonment of so
much construction work would cause a
serious increase in unemployment about
the shipyards.

VERNE TELLS
WHY MEN
SLAVE

r An interesting chapter about
the dress requirements OF my
lady fair is furnished by "Verne,"
the Beautiful French Doll, one
of the headliners in Ginger
Girls" playing this week at the
Gayety Theater. II am COM
PEELED by stage requirements"
she says, "to wear many expen-
sive and fashionable gowns-it
Is a. matter of compulsion. The
dress problem Is one of vital inn
portance, inasmuch as wo.
mans mania for fine apparel is
largely responsible for mans
thirst for money-making.
1.-THE problem is almost a
double header. Money sits en-
throned in our country and dress
is the power behind the throne.
I honestly believe the average
man, reproved by his wife for
overattention to business, would
gladly lessen the grind If 1t were
possible for him to do so, and
still have a normal longing for
the simple life.
Its the woman that teaches
him luxuries. She shows ex-
travagance in her apparel. She
paws $1S for shoes and other
prices in proportion. 1t is nat
ural that the man, who has to
provide for all this, must work
overtime or go into bankruptcy.

1t is the subsequent history of
those jewels that makes a most
deceptive maze of intrigue. fake

and. to the authors credit, keeps
the audience mystified as to who
is the actual thief of the real
gems until near the unusual
climax.
The story has all the essentials

good entertainment. In several
respects Stripped" steps outside
the usual path of mystery plays,
with an ending that the audience

love story adds further appeal to
the production.
