DIGGING THE DOVER TUNNEL
Shafts Sunk in the British
Channel

Our old ideas regarding tunnels are
to be turned topsy turvy. il appears.
by the methods to be adopted in dig
ging the long-discussed and more than
once begun, underground and under
sea line Of communication between
England and France. A tunnel, and
more particularly subaqueous tun-
mel. has been a human burrow, begun
at one end or both.
II has been virtually decided that
instead Of cutting in from the two
shores this tunnel is to be dug from
the middle outward, says the New
Orleans Times-Picayune. Plunging
down into the chilly waters of the
English channel with the greatest
caissons ever constructed. the engi-
neers will exclude the sea waters by
modern processes that have been de-
veloped. and sinking shaft into the
sea bottom will work fore and aft.
But even that single shaft is not
enough. according to Mr.. Tempest.

proposed that no less than eight sea
shafts shall be used
II this is done it is the engineers

the tunnel cutting instead Of being

can simply be blown by compressed
air out upon the sea bottom. The
whole thing sounds wonderful and 1t
looks as though the tunnel might be-
come an engineering marvel surpass-
ing the Panama canal, the Assuan
dam, the Tay bridge and other gems
of scientific ingenuity.

India wants an Indian mel chant ma
rine. says the Nations Business, or at
least there is enough discussion among
the people Of India to give the subject
some Importance. The argument seems
to proceed pretty largely upon the
theory that every well-regulated and
proud nation with its feet on salt wa
ter should have merchant marine.
In other words, a merchant marine IL

Artificial silk in Japan.

The manufacturers Of artificial silk
have made very little progress in
Japan, being confined to the produc-
ton Of coarse yarns Of inferior quail
ity. Imports Of artificial silk in 1922
amounted to 225.S40 pounds-an in
crease Of 62.7 per cent over 1921.
Unofficial estimates place the JAP
anese imports from January to April
"a, 1923, at 17S.725 pounds, or about
20 per cent .of the total artificial silk
imports in 1922 The use Of artificial
silk in Japan was formerly limited to
the manufacture Of neckties and
shawls, but it is now being used for
hosiery and mixed silk textiles

Bathing an Unnecessary Exposure

Arbiters of fashion in France two
centuries ago no. only discouraged
bathing but even the app&cation OF
water TO the skin. A manual for the
guidance of youth, first published in

in the course of the century, instruct
ed its readers: For the sake Of
cleanliness it is well to rub the face
every morning with whire towel in
order to remove the dirt. II IL not
advisable to wash with water. for this
exposes the face to the chills Of win

Erspamer Next Sheriff
of Iron County
Defeats His Opponent, Joseph Rain
eri, by a Big Majority; Runs
Strong in Saxon and Mercer. y

Robt. Erspamer decisively defeat
ed his opponent, Joseph Raineri,
Independent candidate, in the contest
for sheriff. Erspamer polled a total
of 1866 votes and Raineri polled
1921, majority for Erspamer of
1896.
Erspamer lost but one ward in the
city of Hurley, the First ward re-
turning a majority for Raineri
He carried the Sixth ward but by one
vote, according to the unofficial re
turns, but in the Second and Fourth
wards had big lead over his OPP
ponent. Erspamer ran like wild
man in his own ward, the Fourth,
polling 206 votes to 81 for Raineri.
The big vote accorded Erspamer
in the towns of Mercer and Saxon
helped him materially in bringing
home the bacon, and he also carried
the towns of Quincy, Pence and
Sherman. In the city of Montreal
three wards went for Erspamer, the
First ward returning a majority for
Raineri.
A big vote was polled in the town
of Knight, the total being 221.
Raineri carried the town by
majority of 13 votes. He also
received a majority in the towns of
Anderson, Carey, Kimball and Oma.
Following is the unofficial tabulat-
ed vote for sheriff:

LaFoIlette and Blaine
Win in County
Coolidge Carries Seven Precincts;
Blaine Sweeps the County With
Big Plurality.

Although Iron county joined other
Wisconsin counties in giving a hand
some endorsement to the presidential
candidacy of Senator La Toilette,
Calvin Coolidge was favorite with
many of its voters.
Coolidge carried the Fifth and
Sixth wards in the city of Hurley,
the city of Montreal and the towns
of Carey, Oma and Sherman. He
polled a total of 1,066 votes in the
county. His showing in the county
was surprise to many.
La Toilette polled /, 372 votes and
Davis 81.
The failure of many Iron county
voters to mark the La Toilette ticket
properly robbed him of many votes
which evidently were intended for
him. Many voters did not take
heed of the warning broadcasted
before election and neglected to
place a cross after the name of every
La Toilette elector, with the result
that ballots intended as votes for
La Toilette were ruled as defective.
Most of these ballots had a cross
after La Follette's name but a
cross was not placed after each
eIector in the column. In the First
ward alone "A ballots so marked
were judged defective by the election
officials.

Wants Public To Use
More "Cartwheels"
Secretary of the Treasurer Has
Asked Banks to Restore Silver
Dollar to Circulation.

As measure of economy. Secret
airy of the Treasury A. w. Mellon has
called upon the banks of the country
and the public to restore the silver
dollar to circulation.
The decline in circulation of silver
dollars from 100000 in 1919 to
100000 on July /, 1924, was the
result of the Pittman act, by which
Congress authorized the treasury to
melt silver dollars and sell the
bullion to the British government for
use as currency in India.
The treasury since has been order
ed to restore the silver dollar to its
former place in circulation, but the
public, after a five-year respite, does
not readily assume the burden" of
weighing trouser pockets with the
good old cart wheels" The treas
ury has the dollars, but nobody
wants them.
'The life of a silver dollar" Mel
lon points out, has no reasonable
limit, whereas that of paper dol
lar does not at the most exceed tn
months. A paper dollar costs OF
cents to manufacture and keep in
circulation. If the treasury can re-
store to circulation 30,000,000 silver
dollars in the United States and
100000 in our insular posses
sions, we can displace equal amount
of paper currency and save annually
$S2S,000, which is equivalyent to
the interest at per cent on $21 ,000,-
600 of the public debt"
The demand for paper currency in
small denominations has increased
/ tremendously in the past three years.
1t is now necessary to print and put
in circulation 100000 one-dollar
notes alone each month.
The speed with which these bills
are rushed through the manufactur.
/ ing process does not give the treas.
ury time to season them, and as re.
t suit, Mellon says, they become unfit
/ for circulation within seven or eight
months, whereas notes that have
been seasoned" last from ten t.
eleven months.
Bankers throughout the country
are constantly complaining of tbs
poor quality of the paper money
and while the treasury is aware OF
the situation and doing all in it!
power to rectify it, we must ash
cooperation of the public and tn,
banker to rectify it, Mellon says
Obviously we must build up a re
serve supply of currency sufficiently
large in amount to keep por
ton of it in process of seasoning
That is what the treasury intend!
to do. II will be necessary TO obtair
from Congress an additional APP
preparation with which to build W
an adequate reserve stock, but il
the end such a program will result in
increased saving to the taxpayers
If the life of dollar note can be-
prolonged two months, so that il
