THE CHARM OF OLD LETTERS
By NJ. OROsTON-BOoTH
By Hop

1 day-letters which at every reading have
 new meaning, greater significance, as
 their authors become more and more a
 part of my life. There are worn and oft
 unfolded missives from dear ones severed
 from me by distance or time. There Is bundle of untidy, seribbled effusions rem iniscent of school life There are the rec ords of an early heart affair-crude boy ish declarations of affection from lover, Romeo-like both in ardor and age. There are letters of travel, teeming with adventure and event And there is a slowly increasing, greatly cherished col | lection of autographed letters from men and women prominent in the spheres of literature, art, politics and science | Then, too, have other literary treasures of this kind, which are not mine by right | of post-letters dated before nay birth and bequeathed to me as kind of legacy by | a dear old soul who gave to me generously of her affection in return for my under l standing of the comfort and companion- | ship she found, during her last long ill., | ness. in her letters.
 i And though the authors are people of whom l know nothing beyond themselves, l depicted by their own words of pen. they are to me as personal friends. Letters are l such human, intimate things that each is | a revelation of temperament and per- 1 sonality.
 when l become d1scontended With Ire, | sick of the morotony of the days, and | bored with the drabness of things in gen. eral, l remember my letters. love them all, no less than the books which line the walls of ny little library. That I turn | to them during my lonely days. often in preference even to my favorte literary l works, is proof perhaps that the words l poured from the heart of a man or woman l into the ears of an intimate friend are more real and understandable than even | the most human of books

TAssociated Press1

LONDON, England -Notwithstand-
ing the war, the group of enthusiasts
who for years have advocated the con-
struction of tunnel under the Eng
lish channel between France and Eng
land have lost none of their ardor
for the enterprise. On the contrary,
they are pushing the scheme along
with more than usual vigor. pointing
that were the tunnel in operation at
present it would be, of inestimable
advantage to England in rushing
troops to France.
England's Committee on Imperial
Defense had the tunnel project before
it when the war broke out. War came
before this committee had time to re-
port its findings to Parliament, and
it is not likely therefore that any ac-
ton will be taken until peace is de-
clared. Backers of the project insist,
however, that they are ready, to begin
work Immediately.

beer. she thinks, was drugged, for inn
mediately afterward she became semi
conscious. Her story OF subsequent
happenings was somewhat vague.
A taxicab was ordered at the Hus-

taken to the Graham residence. The
driver of the taxi said that a big
