Tunnel Under British Channel.

The proposal to construct railway
tunnel under the British channel Is still
under consideration. Mr.. Asquith,
former British premier, stated soAne
time ago that the entire project with
the modernized plans would be taken
up before long, and leading member
of the house Of commons stated that
the plans for construction were SO far
advanced that work could begin when
ever the necessary legislation wss Sc
cured. The estimated cost Of the tun-
mel would be about $70,OOO,000, but
even at that it is estimated that 1t
would give net return Of 5 to Z per
cent on the investment and reduce the
running time between London and Par
% FIVE and one-haf hours.

I suppose that we have all had mo.

occurred to US that we had explained
the universe, and It was SO easy for
as that we wondered why we had not
lone it before, writes S. NJ. Crothers,
In the Atlantic. Some thought drifted
into our mind and filed US with vague
forebodings of omniscience. 1t was
not an ordinary thought that explained
only a fragment Of existence. 1t ex-
planned everything. 1t proved one
thing and 1t proved the opposite just
as well. 1t explained why things are
as they are, and II 1t should turn out
that they are not that way at all, 1t
would prove that fact also. In the
light Of our great thought chaos seem.
ed rational Having explained the uni.
verse, we relapse into satisfied slum-
Der. When, a few hours later, we
rise, we wonder what the explanation
was.

Chicago, April 1.-Grain prices
showed steadiness today, apparently
awaiting military developments in
Picardy. Corn started a trifie easier
influenced by favorable weather, but
soon rallied as a result of scattered
purchasing. Opening prices, which
were Is cent eff, with May at s1.25 y

at $l.25A.
Oats.
Auspicious field conditions had only
a transient bearish effect on oats. On
the downturn shorts became active
buyers and gave prices a material lift.
After opening unchanged to 4 and
q cents off, with May at SAN to So Is,
the market scored moderate gains.
Provisions.
Provisions weakened owing to a
falling off in shipments. Besides hog
arrivals here for March were shown
TO have been the most plentiful ever
known for this time of year.

Des Mo;nes Must
Clean up or Become
Prohibited District

Des Moines, April with a war de-
partment warning that Des Moines
will be declared prohibited district
for Camp Dodge soldiers unless moral
conditions here improve. Governor
Harding today inaugurated measures
to clean up the city.
Thegovernor placed Sheriff John F.
Griffin, of Polk county, ii charge OF
law enforcement work and Ben Wool
gar, local commissioner Of public
safety, and Oscar Rock, a state special
agent were directed to work under
the sheriff.
Policemen Of Des Moines are made
special agents Of the state in addition
to their regular duties and this en-
powers them to make arrests any
where in the state without formal
warrants.
"A representative Of the war de-
partment," says a letter from the gov
ernor to Griffin and Woolgar, has laid
before me a complaint concerning
moral conditions in Des Moines as
they affect the soldiers stationed at
Camp Dodge"
The complaint says:
II found since January steady in
crease in drunkenness among soldiers
and a great increase in the number OF
prostitutes. The steady increase Of
prostitution in this vicinity is alarm
ing and should this continue there is
only one alternative and this will be
to declare Des Moines to be pro-
hibited district"
The government directs the atten-
ton OF the officials to certain public
dances that are running in Polk
county" and directs that these be
permitted only under proper super
vision

Progress Of Civilization.

The insane asylum as 1t exists today
is modern institution. Time was
when people whose minds were dis.
traught were permitted to mix with
the world except when they developed
violent symptoms making them obvi.
ously dangerous, and then they were
confined, sometimes in chains, as II
they were wild beasts, with no pro-
vision for medical attendance and
physical comfort such as society ac-
cords them now. The modern attitude
toward the problem Of the community's
responsibility for the care of the in
sane attests the growth Of human feel
Ing and marks the progress Of cjvillza.
