One of the greatest tunnels in the
world is nearing completion.
The new Simpon Tunnel will short.
ly be ready for traffic and its trans
formation from mere gallery into
an international high road which was
first started n December. 1912. will
greatly stimulate business conducted
between the ports OF Northern France
and those Of the Mediterranean.
Tremendous difficulties have been
encountered and overcome in making
the tunnel. Hot springs had TO be
drained away and at one spot about
2h miles from the Italian opening.
the rock pressure was so great that
eighteen months was spent in boring
30 yards, at Il cost of 100000.
The whole tunnel is twelve and a
quarter miles long. of which five and
half miles is on Swiss territory.
Electric traction will be used so that

Days Originated

The babylonian priests who arr;tns
ed our original calendar took the great
hCavenN bodies which they had identi.
fled with their seven great gods, and
developed the week of seven days-one
for the special worship Of each god.
These heavenly bodies included the
sun. moon. Jupiter. Venus, ercur>,
Mars and saturn.
Some people explain our week as
originating from the Bible story OF
the creation-God creating the world
in six days and resting on the seventh.
Others have claimed 1t originated
from dividing the lunar month OF
twcnty-eight days into four equal
parts our week as a division of time
did not however originate In either OF
these ways.
The Babylon priests simply desig-
nated DAYS on which their planet gods
should be worshiped. Their scheme
really worked this idea out through
DAYS of twenty-four hours. They ar
ranged the planets in the order Of
their distance from the earth as un-
derstood by them. Beginning with sat
urn farthcst away, their order was
Saturn, Jupiter. Mars. sun, Venus

sun was between Mars ana Venus.

EDDIE AND SAM, BOTH
VICTIMS OF SPRING
FEVER, PLAN A HIKE

(FuSf day of The Finding Of P6Jd.'O
Worthwhile was the kind OF town
that would fit neatly into your hip
pocket. Like all such places it had
its full quota of "old settlers" with
Dad Hornblower as the leader,
dogs, cats, and boys.
Among the latter were two with
whom we are particularly con-
cerned. One Of these was Eddie
Clark, tall gaunt, long-legged, long
armed, long-neCked and lOng-eared,
but a good fellow for all of that.
The other was Sam Arbucllle,
Eddie's opposite, for he was short,
inclined TO be stout, pug-nosed,
little clumsy at times, and he had
a host of freckles crowded across
his nose. He also possessed what
Miss Smith, Northvale's most
prominent "old maid" called a
winning grin" If this was meant
as a compliment Sam didn't care so
very much about hearing It.
One Friday afternoon about the
middle Of the early barefoot season,
Sam and Eddie were sauntering a
bit lazily, and therefore slowly, up
the old board walk that lead into
the main street of Worthwhile.
This town-ouchP remarked
Eddie with the accent on the
''ouch" as he stubbed his big toe
on a warped board, us about the
deadenest place I ever did see"
No reply from Sam who, appar-
emily, was IN deep thought, for his
hands were thrust far into his pants
pockets sure sign of thinking.
Ten feet further on, Eddie con-
tinued:
q wish there was something to
do. Gosh l wish there wasn't any
school for a whole year"
Even this important statement
brought no response from Sam. But
fifteen feet later he opened up, and
enthusiastically,
"Say-I know what let's. Let's
YOU an me take a hike 10 Porter's
woods tomorrow an explore that
cave along Dolan's crick, that Dad
Hornblower says is ha'nted."
The idea appealed to Eddie i'm
nediately. And so, one hour later,
when they parted at Harper's drug
store, they had arranged TO set CIT
for Porter's woods the next morn
ing just as soon as Eddie finished
helping his mother with the break
fast dishes.
