PERSEUS OR OF DRAGONS?H. P. Scott Stokes?Button ($1.00). This latest volume in the Today and Tomorrow Series is perhaps the lightest, but not the least pleasing. It could hardly be called an exhaustive discourse on all dragons, taking up only the early Greek, early Christian, mediaeval and ancient Egyptian species and their variants.

...latest unemployment figures showed that 1,299,700 persons were in receipt of doles. This number was greater by 19,330 than the previous week and 295,918 more than a year ago. Normally there are 500,000 constantly out of work in Britain, and, taking into consideration that 200,000 workers are now entitled a dole which they were not last year and therefore did not figure in the official list of unemployed persons, the actual increase over the pre-War situation is 700,000 and the real increase over last year's figures is less than...
