[TNGLAND and France arc going ahead
p seriously with plans for the long
ID contemplated tunnel under the Eng
lish channel. The close friendship into
which the war has knit the two nations has
swept away the fears and suspicious that
formerly held up the enterprise. The Brit
ish isles therefore, will almost certainly,
within a few Years, be joined to the main
land for transportation purposes. 1t will
be modern version of the land connection
said by biologists to have existed in re-
mote craS.
Such Il tunnel will be used primarily for
freight, and, i'll case Of military necessity,
for armies. Most travellers will probably
prefer the short safe underground route to
the uneasy ship passage across that choppy
strait. Before long, however, large num-
bcrs of passengers will be travelling to and
from the continent by airplane
This project has inspired discussion of a
similar tunnel to run under the Strait OF
Gibraltar, providing railroad connection
the continents of Europe and Africa. 1t is
unlikely that amy serious effort will be
made there at present. The task is much
more difficult. The Strait OF Gibraltar
though only about 10 miles wide is 900 feet
deep. Excavation would be troublesome
and expensive. The English channel, at it's
narlowest place. is u miles wide and only
12O feet deep, and the material to be exca-
waited is mostly soft chalk
There are no such economic or political
reasons, either, for the Gibraltar tunnel
The time for il will come, no doubt. as Afri-
ca develops. But for decades TO come all
the goods that need TO be carried to and
from that particular quarter Of Africa can
be carried by water, and passengers who
find the old route too tedious will soon be
able to travel there, as elsewhere. BY air
All such plans and discussions emphasize
the truth now more clearly realized bv all
nations, that the greatest material need VI

MY SOLDIER HUSBAND
ADELE GARRISON'S NEW PHASE OF
REVELATIONS@ A WIFE


TR. sTocKBRIDGE left the as
iVl sembly room hurriedly as soon as
he had introduced me to Miss Hol-
eombe. I looked after him with a grim.
triumphant little smile. for l was sure
that I interpreted his haste correctly.
He resented the fact that l had failed
to acquiesce promptly in his assertions
of the superior requirements of his stu
dents. and had countered by his inslnu-
alton that l might need his aid in my
discipline OF the high school boys Then
he had childishly almost run away to
forestail any reply on my part.
l had scored in my first encounter
with my new principal but the victory
left bad taste in my mouth 1t was
the first time in my experience that I'd
had clash with my superior officer In
the schools during the first day or even
the first month OF my work. There was

Of cabbage from the local grocery. It

had made the order without much
