TO 1UNNE! CHANNEL
viii Take Five Years and Cost
$1O0,000,0o0.
Enaineers. Also Considering Boring
Under Bosphorus and Strait
of Gibraltar.

London-Five years would be re-
CURED to complete the proposed tun.
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 $S00Oo,0OO. but
in view of the increased cost of labor
and materials, the expense involved
would, under present conditions, be
nearly $100,O0o,000.
The Daily Mail claims to have def
mite information that the British ana
French governments have agreed to
the construction of the tunnel, and
that the details now are being dis
cussed by special commission in
Paris, which also is considering the
building Of tunnels under the Bos-
phorus and the Strait Of Gibraltar:
The engineering plans for the chan
mel, according to the Daily Mail,
are so far advanced that work could
be begun Immediately.
1T is proposed, says tile Ddily
Mail, 'to start the tunnel some dis
tance inside both countries instead Of
near the coast as was originally in
tended, so as to avoid the risks OF a
fall of the cliffs, such as already has
occurred on the British side near the
point where the work would have been
begun.
"In addition to tracks, the tunnel
will carry telephone and telegraph
wires, superseding the present sea-bed
cables, and also pneumatic tubes for
carrying letters and parcels. The
French and British railroads con.
cerned are willing to finance the
scheme, but the two governments wish
to exercise control of some sort Of
Joint state finance.

HAPPY W0RKMEN
MADE By THRIFT
Group Saving Has Proved
Highly Profitable to Thous-
ands Of Employees of Sanely
Managed Concerns.

Every business is either thrifty or
santhrifty. Ii thrift governs, then
there will be accurate knowledge Of
costs. sound finance, far-seeing policy,
tie best use of labor and materials,
with intelligent creation of money
Surplus to meet emergencies. If un-
thrifty, the concern is bound for
bankruptcy, which will arrive sooner
or later.
Thrift goes far beyond the execu-
tive Office, and so does lack Of it. A
<hriftily managed business will have
steady, skillful employees, working in
pleasant surroundings, with every ad-
vantage ia the way Of equipment, and
every advantage in earning power.
The unthrifty business is too familiar.
1t attracts chiefly the driftwood among
workers. Unpleasant surroundings
and poor equipment make work drudg-
cry. Wages are below good stand
ards. and the year is us:1ally marked
I by periods of idleness, il not labor
troubles.
Thrifty managers have learned in
recent years that thrift facilities ex-
tended to their employees are part OF
general thrift in management. The
employee must set aside his surplus.

If he is the kind of man who values
JOB with a thrifty concern. But it
has not always been easy for him to
put his weekly savings in secure
place. Savings institutions may be
Tar from the pay window. Employers
have overcome this handicap in many
cases by accepting deposits to be
transferred to bank. by selling Sc
eurities in their own business to en-
ployees on the installment plan, and
In other ways. They have also taken
pains to see that employees are not
victimized by loan sharks or blue-sky
promoters.
Since the Thrift Stamp and War
Savings Stamps came into existence
there has been a wide development OF

War Savings Stamps offer the best

Thousands OF savings
clubs or societies formed during the
war to help finance the government
have been found 80 valuable that

best proof of the health, stability and
usefulness of any industry is its
