BY ARTHUR DEGREYE
United Pres stan Correspondent

LONDON, Aug. 26.-Great Brit
am today is spending $13 sec
ond TO feed, clothe and house the
100000 and more men and women
Of the country's army of unem-
ployed.
This figure is based on the ex-
penditure Of more than 100000 900
a year for doles, which is only a lit
tie less than one-fourth of the in
terest on Britains national debt for
one year.
One-sixth OF the country's H.
100000 insured industrial workers
thus are idle and, as winter ap-
proacheS, the efforts Of Premier j.
Ramsay MacDonald's labor govern
ment to help. the situation appar-
emily so far have proved ineffec-
tual.
In addition TO the 1850, 1877 per-
sons reported by the ministry of Ia
Dor to be on the unemployment ex-
change registers on Aug. II, there
are thousands of workers not in
Guided under the regulations of the
national Workmans insurance act
who also are idle.
Most Jobless Since 1922
The total number Of unemployed
has reached the highest point since
1922, when 2,580,429 were reported
idle, this number having been af-
tected by the coal mines dispute.
Even during the general strike in
1926 the figure reached only 1875
500, including all workers except
miners.
The unemployment problem has
plagued Great Britain for ten years,
beginning in 1920, when the first
evidences of a trade slump were
felt after the World war
The insurance act provisions were
drafted to care for the nominal
pre-War estimate of 4 per cent I'M
employment. They have been
found inadequate to cope with the
situation in recent years, and spe-
cial appropriations have become
necessary to alleviate suffering. APP
proximately $4OO,OOOOOO year is
being paid out to the insured
workers.
Paradoxically, British industry is
continuing the expansion begun in
1920 today employs more than
100000 more workers than a
decade ago, while maintaining the
same wage levels as then.
Drop in Emigration
Of1cials of the trades union con-
gress explained this situation is
caused largely by the fact that be-
fore the World war an average of
between 100000 and 100000 left the
country each year for other lands.
During the years 1914-1915 there
was no immigration, and since the
end of the war the number Of emil
grants has been less than half the
fgure Of pre-War days.
Telling blows have been struck at
Britain'S basic industries by dWin-
ding markets abroad. These have
been due in a measure to the world
depression, experts explain, and also
to the unrest in India and the wars
in China, hitting at British trade.

Car Knows Its Way
Around Town Without
1t Being Guided.

BIZ United Press
DEEKSKILL, N. Y. Aug. 26.-
L The Gilbert family automo-
bile, like its predecessor, Old Dob
bin, knows how to get around
town without being guided.
Tom Gilbert started out to see
his relatives Monday and some
thing went wrong with the steer
ing gear. Left to itself, the family
bus did the following:
Plunged down steep grade
into the porch of Cousin Robert
Gilbert.
Rolled on and crashed against
the front steps of Uncle Caleb
Gilbert.
Still rolling, headed for a mail
box from which Brother Louis
Gilbert, postman, was collecting
letters, and knocked it over.
Aunt Mary Gilbert. who wit
messed it all, franctically called
the police department.
Nephew Chester Gilbert, an Of
f1cer, responded.
A hasty survey showed brother
Tom and rest of the family ex-
cited, but unhurt.

ECLIPSES FORECAST BY
MAYAS CENTURIES AGO
Accurate Predictions 500 Years
Before Christ Are Revealed.

81 Science Serrice
NEW YORK, Aug 26-Highly
accurate predictions of eclipses of
the sun and moon were made by the
Maya Indians of Central America
at least eight centuries before
Christ, Dr. Herbert J. Spinden, Gu
rator of ethnology of the Brooklyn
Museum, has discovered.
But after the Mayas predicted an
eclipse, they did their best to stop
it by magical means. When occa-
sionally their productions failed and
the eclipse did not occur, they at
tributed this to success of their
magic.
DR.. Spinden is now on his way to
Europe, where he will attend the
meeting of the twenty-fourth Inter
national Congress of Anericanists at
Hamburg, and will give a detailed
report of his discoveries. which re-
veal surprisingly extensive astro-
nomical knowledge among these
early Americans.

HIGH COURT ASKED
TO TAKE FALL CASE
U. S. Oil Counsel Acts to Ex-
pedite Final Action on
Conviction.

BY the Associated Press
To expedite final action on the con-
viction Of Albert B. Fall, former Secre-
tary Of the Interior, on the charge OF
having accepted bribe OF 100000
from Edward L. Doheny in making oil
leases, the Government today petitioned
the Supreme Court to take jurisdiction
of the case without awaiting action by
the District of Columbia Court of
Appeals, where Fall now has an appeal
pending.
Should the Supreme Court agree to
pass on the case without waiting for
the District Court of Appeals to act,
attorneys estimated that approximately
one year would be saved in getting
action by the highest court.
Attorneys Outline Case.
Owen j. Roberts and Atlee Pomerene,
counsel for the Government, filing their
petition in Sureme Court today, staged
that only law questions were involved.
They said Fall was attacking his con-
viction on the ground that he lacked
authority to make the contracts with
Doheny; that the Government was
stopped from pressing the suit because
Fall had been acquitted of the charge
of conspiring to defraud the United
States: that the trial court had i'm
properly excused Juror Beatrice p.
Duke; that 1t had improperly excluded
evidence offered in defense of FAN, and
that the trial Judge had improperly
instructed the jury.
The petition pointed out that Fall
had been Ill for several years. Since his
conviction and return to El PaSo, Tex,
it said, his condition had continued Sc

YANCEY REACHES
BERMUDA AFTER
NIGHT UPON SEA
Plane Rests Within so Miles
of Goal Rather Than Pass
Islands in Dark.
HAMILTON THR0NGS
CHEER ARRIVING SHIP
Craft Is Flown Over City After
st Having Docked Safely
in Harbor.
Rr the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HAMILTON, Bermuda, April 2.-The
American monoplane Pilot, carrying
Capt. Lewis A. Yancey and two COM
panions, arrived safely at Hamilton to-
day.
Soon after being anchored OF the
Giockyard the plane took the air and
made a triumphant flight over the city,
completing her flight -4lmost "a hours
after the start.
The ship, for the first time in the
history of ocean flying. had descended
at sea, spent the night there and then
was able to continue her voyage under
her own power.
She remained of ST. Georges an hour
or more preparing for the final stage
of her fight.
The airplane anchored first today of
North Rock, about S miles from st.
Gregorys, following its fight from the
nights resting place.
A launch loaded with local news
paper men met the plane. The
water front was crowded with great
number of spectators, who had been
gathering since daybreak, when the
plane arrived.
Sea Is Calm Over Night.
Forced to alight at sunset so miles
north of Bermuda after about BIZ hours
of flying, the three aviators rode ou.
the night on a sea described as like a
lake, with almost no wind and a clear
sky. No difficulty was experienced in
taking off this morning to complete
the fight.
Yancey and his two companions, w.
H. Alexander, pilot, and zeh (Jack)
Bouck, wireless operator, chose the mid
Atlantic descent rather than risk over
flying or missing their destination in
the dark. Ths Bermudas, some $50 is
lets occupying a space about ID miles
by 6, have always been considered as
Offering one of the most difhcult goals
of aviation, because of involving dead
reckoning from New York.
The steamer Lady Somers, which left
here at pm yesterday, was asked py
wireless messages here to look out for
the plane after she had landed and
render assistance If needed, but nothing
was rnu11ixed as.s4
The popuiace ana tourists here were
greatly excited all day yesterday ct the
prospect of arrival of the plane from
the American mainland. The welcome
which would have been given the avia-
tors was postponed.
Waste Hours Gas Taking OF.
Capt. Yancey and his companions
wasted an hours supply of their 230
gallons OF gasoline sufficient for 101a
hours flying lin five fruitless attempts
to get on the water at New York yes
terday.
The fight was announced as an at
tempt to prove feasibility Of regular
mail and passenger transportation serv-
ice between New York and Bermuda.
