TO TUNNEL CHANNEL

LOndon-Five years would be re-

mel under the English channel from
England to France, according to an
authoritative estimate. 1t Is said that
in ordinary times the cost of the
work would be about $S0,O00OOO, but
in view of the increased cost of labor
and materials, the expense involved
would, under present conditions, be
nearly $100,OOO,0OO.
The Daily Mail claims to have def

the construction of the tunnel, and
that the details now are being dis

Religion is the experience consti'

Of dependence upon power or powers
controlling the universe, and which
have as their center Of interest the

WAR GAS DUMPED
FAR OUT AT SEA

for gas shell: Mustard gas, 10 tons
chlorpicrin, 705 tons; phosgene, 4e
tons. Further shipment in bulk over
seas was stopped pursuant to cable
gram from France dated July q, 1918,
the reason for this being that France
had no more extra gas shells to be
filled with American gas.
"There not being gas shell available
with suitable boosters and adapters,
the gas plants were not operated TO
capacity. However, sales of some eX-
cess gas were made both in England
and to France. England was sold 800
tons of chlorpicrin and 1858 tons of
phosgene. France was sold 300 tons
of chlorpicrin and 1,40S tons of chic
rine, equivalent to 1,126 tons of phos-
gene. Phosgene is so per cent chic
rine, and France furnished phosgene
shell in exchange for this chlorine. In
addition to the above 200 tons of mus
tard gas were shipped to England for
loading shell originally made for Rus
STA. These shells were never loaded,
and the gas, at least large part of
it, was utilized by the English in load
ing shell.
"There were, therefore, shipped to
Europe 1862 tons of gas, or its equiv
alent, which gas was largely loaded

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an Old.
time Recipe that Anybody
can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparations
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on TO restore natural color and beauty
TO the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.-Adv.

Poisonous Fluid of No Commercial
Value and Unsafe to Have Around
America Sent Gas for 100000
Shells to Front.

Washington.-Th first lot of poison
gas which the American army devel-
oped and manufactured for use In kill
ing Germans in the great spring drive
scheduled for 1915 but halted by the
signing of the armistice, has been dis
posed of by dumping it at sea. 1t con-
sisted Of 100000 poisOn-gas shells and
some large drums or containers of poi
son gas, which have just been taken
to sea from Baltimore and dropped
into Davy Jones' locker. The gas dis
posed of consisted of mustard gas and
chlorpicrin gas, both of which are very
dangerous and could not be used COM
mercially.
The 100000 gas shells were brought
back from France on a transport
about two weeks ago. After other
cargo of the transport had been I'M
loaded the poison gas shells were
taken in the same transport from Bal
timore out to sea a distance of be-
tween sixty and one hundred miles
and dumped deep enough not to have
enough at sea not to have any effect
on the coast.
Dangerous to Have Around.
The containers taken to sea and
dumped showed signs that they were
soon about to begin to leak, as re-
suit of chemical effect of the gas, and
in the interest of safety these were
taken to sea and disposed of under di-
rections given by Major General ST.
bert, head of the chemical warfare
service.
Ultimately all of the poison gas in
drums will be disposed of In this fash
ion, but until after the treaty of peace
is signed the army will be in no hurry
to get rid of a very valuable asset, and
it is not the plan to take all this gas
to sea for dumping until after the
signing of the peace treaty, except In
those cases where, through containers
good reasons, it is considered in the
interest of safety to dispose Of the
gas sooner.

March, the chief of staff, memoran-

no American gas shells were fired at

KEEP THEIR MONEY AT HOME
Many People in England Evidently
Will Not Entrust Savings to the
Care of Banks.

A vast amount Of money still lies
uninvested in the country, declares the
London Mail. In a Yorkshire village
there is fisherman who is known to
have five thousand dollars in notes in
his thirty dolar-a-year cottage. He
wears clothes which cost about ten
dollars before the war, and owns a
fishing boat worth one thousand or fif-
teen hundred dollars. In the same viii
lage a short time ago fisherman
bought his cottage, and when the own
er called for deposit he counted out
fifteen hundred dollars in gold, the full
purchase price. In a neighbOring town
there is at least one fisherman who
has five thousand dollars or more in
notes in his little house, but he can
not be induced to invest any of it.
When he has been urged to do so he
has said that he preferred to have 1t
near him as it is safer'' A woman in
a Yorkshire country town one morning
walked into lawyers office and pro-
duced a handbag containing two thou
sand half-sovereigns which she had
collected in thirty years. After asking
advice on investing the money she
stated that at night she took the hand
bag up to her bedroom. When she
travelled she took the handbag with
her, and on one occasion left it on the
rack in the train. She remembered
her treasure before she left the station
and recovered it.
