Mid-Channel.

There is passage in Pinero telling how, between
Folkstone and Bouogne vessel crossing the English
Channel pitches and tosses wildly when it seems a
eggshen in the grip of treacherous currents
reaching up from the rocks below. The strain lasts
only for minute in id-Channel but it racks the ship
hard and drives passengers into near-panic.
Some such critical hour has overtaken the allies

The war has become so huge that it has gone entirely
out OF focus 1t is blurred and hazy in many of its
aspects even to the expert eye 1t has become the

men, many millions forgetting in their agony what

the old order must go.
This wrenching apart this breakup of the economic

As remedy for the increasing com

The processes of manufacture are sim

American soda that contains no adul-
teration of lead or other metal, are
worked into fun under a Bunsen
burner and blowpipe. A bicycle wheeI

If the threads are sufficiently fine they
curl and fun out like wool.
The product Is now marketed in
three forms-glass cotton, glass WOOL
and in sheets about one-half inch thick
which resemble white felt pads. In
the last form it may be used to make
separators for accumulators Of elec-

cause Postmaster General Burleson has leaned too
much toward making profit. 1t may be because he
