MAN POWER,
lie Trocquer, minister OF public
works in France, draws up plans for
a tunnel under the English Channel.
His idea is to have Germany do the
work and furnish the materials.
The completed job would strike
$4,000. 600, 900 off the German in.
demnity.
1t is a sensible plan. The bulk OF
the indemnity will be paid in man
power, or not at ali. Germany
hasn't the gold She has the man

Blaschka can make an orchid out

Some guiding force is back of It all,

COAL.
The suspension OF anthracite coal
mining in Pennsylvania since April /
has cost the miners about S42, 600, 900
and the operators $50, 000. 900. This
is the recent estimate by Clifford b.
Connelley, Pennsylvania's State Com
missioner Of Labor and Industry.

The thing hat makes America

POWER.
If President Harding makes his
trip to Alaska he can see one Of the
strangest things in nature-Mount
st. Elias.
This mountain is 1s.o24 feet high
today-but It Is growing. Earth

quakes are gradually lifting the en-
tire mountain higher into the air.
One quake in 1899 raised a nearby
beach AZ feet.
