"Private -Yachting” is the entire
scheme of the cruise. The atmos-

party. The accommodations are
Iuxurious, loungy. The service
has that personal touch,,while the
ship itself will poke in here, poke

In
England.
-:tlleke is a great deal
of unemployed and one hears• con-
siderable about "The Doles," It isn't
quite as humiliating to receive doles
in England. as to get in the bread
line in one of our Canadian cities
but there isn't much difference. It
is hard lines for the man who hon-
estly wants work and can't get -it.
The doles are paid out to those over
16 who are out' of work or have ,a
Medical Health ' Officer's certificate.
There is „a labor exchange in every
borough. and to centres centres the
unemployed come and show their
discharge papers from their last enh-
ployers. ` if the applicant is success-
ful a man is allowed 15 shillings:a
week or 18 shillings for man and
wife; three shillings additional for
the first child and a Tiro rata scale
for the ` younger ones. Since the,
close of the war in 1918 the sum'of
£400,000,000 has been paid in doles.
That would mean about one and
'three quarter' billion dollars in Can-
adian money. That is a tremend-
ous drain' on tile" national treasury
of .Great Britain` and is one of the
worst after -affects of the war. The
condition of the farm laborers who
are subsisting. on less than $7 a
week is also a serious one.
' 'On to the Provinces
On Wednesday, July 9th, we were
required to have our baggage out-
side of the room at 6 a:iu. and as we
were late the night before at Lord
Beaverbrook's dinner it `:seemed; pret-
ty early. At nine o'clock we left
Paddington station and 'said good-
bye to London with' many regrets
because our • Stay in fhe' big city was
altogether too short. The ten days
passed all too quickly, but time
waits for. no man, and we had much
to see in the provincial cities and
tons before we again set sail. A
train ride of a few hears brought us
to Leamington a lovely garden town
in the Midlands, a place to where
many visitors go to partake of the
Spa cure= -the saline waters and
baths, and to wander in the beauti-
ful Jepson Gardens,`, great riot of
beauty and color, where the flower
lover is in his glory.-
From here we motored to Strat-
ford -on -Avon, Warwick and Kennil-
worth. At Stratford we had lunch
with the Mayor ,and on our return 'at
' night to Leamington we were dined
by. ' the city council.

Kenilworth Castle
The famous castle. of Kenilworth
is now in ruins. Sheep are pastur-
ing in the courtyard through which.
teueen Elizabeth and her courtiers..
passed on their way to the reception
by the Earl .of Leicester. There is.
no sign of defences` having: been
built around the castle. Much of
the stone has been taken away to-
build farmer's houses in the ad—
„joining counties. It is one immense
ruins connecting the, Tudor period
with the present. We also visited.
Warwick castle made famous in the.
Wars of the Roses” as the home 'of'
The Kingmaker.
Kenilworth Castle -like Hever•
Castle, were both old Tudor ,;build-
ings, but the former has only a few
walls and towers standing while the-
latter is in a perfect state 'of pre-
servation.
