HE movement to build » tunnel under the English Channel! suddenly revives in England. The House of Commons is to! discuss the question at an early date. | ‘The wonder is that in the last two years Britieh minds have not constantly reverted to this project. The desirability of such a link with the Continent must have constantly impressed iteelf upon tho! silies, It used to be urged as an argument against the echeme that if an enemy gained possession of such a tunnel tt would become e dangerous menace to England. But surely it would h: re been as easy to guard @ tunnel es to keep « channel ferry protected from submarines and destroyers. 4 resolution introduced in the House of Commons this week holds that “the progress of the war has demonstrated the great ad-! vantages which would have accrued to the allies if there had been s railway tunnel beneath the channel and that plans should be prepared 60 that the work can be begun immediately the war is over.” The British mind works slowly. But maybe enough has hep- pened to persuade it that the two great allies would have found them- calves etill better off had they been able te join hands under as well 0s over the narrow sea that separates them. eS ANOTHER FRAUD. PROPOS of a recent editorial commending Commissioner Hartigan’s campaign for honest weights and measures, The Evening World received from an expert source « letter call- ing ettention to : “Another fraud which is being constantly practiced on the Public by Carmers and fruit and vegetable dealers. “The apples, cherries, plums, berries, potatoes, &c., as dis- Played in boxes and barrels look splendid to the housewife and @o the hotel and restaurant purchaser of supplies, but when the fra or vegetables are bought and taken home they are found after the second layer to be of very inferior quality and eppearance. Very frequently a large part of what appeared to be a fine box of fruit or vegetables has to be thrown away. “This fraud of placing on top of an inferior quality of fruit @ vegetables two jayers of fine quality and appearance to de ceive and cheat the public ts practiced by the large well-known dealers in the downtown markets as well as by the peddler.” We recall an old trick invented by eome farmer in Puritan New England. Purchasers of apples in bull: found it did little good to require the head or bottom of the barrel to be ripped off. The apples on the top and bottom were always big and sound, whatever the middle might contain. So buyers began to insist on ripping off a stave in order to get a look at the barrel’s contents in all its latitudes. This bothered the farmer o bit until he hit on the device of standing a fat stovepipe in the empty barrel before he filled it. The big apples went outside, the little ones inside the stovepipe; then the stovepipe was pulled out, a sightly layer of fruit spread over the top and the barrel headed up. ' The only way the buyer can protect himself against this kind of fraud is to insist that the fruit or vegetables he is buying shall be turned out into another receptacle in his presence. This is not always convenient or even possible. If dealers should be compelled to sell fruits and vegetables in grades, guarantecing the quality of each grade to be the eame through- out, they would soon find that this protection to the public diminished the dealer’s loss from waste, increased his sales and added to his profits, —_—_——— eee Hits From Sharp Wits We are not finicky in the matter of, Theory may look all right, but it dress and do not like to be regarded doesn’t always go when you try to As hypercritical, but we can't. heip| St#rt, the sparker.—Philadelphia Tole- wishing it were norsible to sue some |“? @erters for no: upport, eee No miner's measurement was ever able to determine what the flow of ideas is to the flow of conversation, ee “Few men,” saya a preacher, “know what in really in them.” ‘The reauon, probably, that it 1s so dimMcult to get| anytbing out of them.

Corrs te York evening Werte sO N URLNG the week 100,000 National Guardsmen were called to mo- bilize. Each and every one of them doubtless has @ wife, mother or sweetheart, who is “the girl he left behind.” A hundred thousand women or more are wondering “what next.” Every one of them faces the chances of warfare, with all that is entailed; and who does not deplore the neces- sity for it all? Who does not hope for the day when the contentions of countries will be eettled by concilation? How much effort has been directed toward that life-saving end cannot be estimated, Yet whether war is right or wrong one fact remains: these hundred thousand answered the call almost as one man, While some mothers attill waver on the familiar theory that “1 didn't raise my boy to be « soldier,” yet when all's said and done no mother raised her boy to be a coward, who crawled away when the call came—the call that he had pledged himself to answer, Also there is something to be said about these National Guards, the flower of the fighting field. In time of peace they freely chose the sol- diery, lt was thelr own desire that each elected to risk Mimeeif in defense of all he held dear in the name of country, While we all look for the ideal day when war will be but @ historic mem- ory, yet every woman of us must re- alizo that that day is not here yet; that preparedness for peaceful medi- ation must needs take its course even though it seem bitterly slow to us, So that we must deal with the thing that is imminent, Each and every woman of the hundred thou- sand should rest assured that the call that came Us week Was necessitated only after the most earnest delibera- tion and best consideration of able, thoughtful imen=-the twentieth cen- tury product who believe in the “ounce of prevention rather than the pound of cure." It is not for you to Weep and worry, but to work, There is much to be done, Besides, look at our sisters across the wators, Thousands of them are homeless, starving, and with hopelessness star- ing them in tho face. Their soldiers answered the call, but with nothing like the encouraging sttuation as is manifested in the domain of Uncle Sam, Ho thankful for the prosperity that ig here, He thankful that wherever tt ie posvible your soldier will be given full pay while he is away, Be thankful that even if this ts not ao, the country ts in a condition to care for you and yours for a long time to come.

Jarr it might be oool- er on the roof of the apartment house, “Not on thie roof,” replied Mrs. Jarr. “It's @ tin roof and it just stores up heat all day and lets it out at night.” “Isn't there a boardwalk around?” asked Mr. Jarr. “I understood that on all these first class apartment houses they had a boardwalk on the root.” “Boardwalk!” said Mre. Jarr euper- cfitously. “Do you think this flat- house {s an {m!tation of Atlantic City? And first class! Tt isn't my idea of a first-class apartment house, But there's a walk up there around tho place where the tenants han~ up clothes. And as everybody in these fate bes a different washday, we will always have the decorations of some- body's laundry when we take the air of am evening there.” “1 think {t's awful warm in these rooms,” replied Mr, Jarr, “and I mer ly suggested going up on the roof.” “If you made any suggestions that pertained to our comfort or well- being perhaps they would be more weloome,” said Mra, Jarr, “But when you tell me that the roof of this house, @ roof that's used to dry clothes on, is good enough for me and the children then I do object, and rightly so!" “How did I know that !t wasn't nice up there?” asked 3:.. Jarr. “I know that lots of people do use their own roofs as coollng-off places in the even- ing. Some of them are fixed up with potted plants and lanterns and easy chairs and hammocks and folks go up there with a pitcher of claret lemonade or something cool to drink”— “You mean beer, why don't you say it?” interrupted Mra. Jarr, “I mean whatever people want," re- plied Mr. Jarr, “If I wanted to drink @ glass of beer on the roof or tn the garret or down In the cellar I'd do it! What's the matter with you?" “If you went up on this roof," said Mrs, Jarr, “the janitor would be up to order you off, because he'd say walking over the tin would make It leak, and then @ tin roof makes a@ ter- given opportunity to show the etuff of which you @re muade—t mr womun who knows what to do be sides weep, Be thankful, though we may think we have gone back in the way of war, we have gone forward in the way of woman, rible noise when you walk over it, and people on the floors would shout {mpudently up the air shaft that if we don't stop rubbering down at them they'll shoot us, and then tenants lower down would say we were up making fun of thetr family washing and would complain. I'm afraid your plan of sending us up on the roof to be insulted while you were off having a good time at one of the real roof gar- dens isn’t very alluring to me” “Oh, very well,” groaned Mr, Jarr. “I'm sorry I spoke, I can't say any- thing but what It's misunderstood. If the roof is as you eay it is, why, of course, I don't expect you to go up there.” ‘ “Ob, you wouldn't care what it was lke, You wouldn't even go up to eee!” declared Mra, Jarr, “Well, I'm sorry I spoke,” ead Mr. Jarr, “As long as I live 1 won't make another suggestion around this house. I never thought of it the way you thought of tt, I have no {dea of going anywhere any time unless you end the children can come along! Does that satisfy you?” “It does not!” replied Mre. Jarr. “You are just like every other man, You try to get your family out of the way and off your mind while you are away somewhere having a good time, You can't fool me! The root indeed! The idea of suggesting that I take my ohildren up on @ hot tin roof among clothes lines and chimneys and ventilator pipes while you are off somewhere enjoying yourself self- ishly and alone!” This picture so presented to her imagination bad such @ depressing effect on Mrs, Jarr that she cried, Whereupon Mr, Jarr took his hat and made @ getaway, When he returned later in the even- ing Gertrude, the lght running do- mestio, met him, “Mrs, Jarr told m+ to tell you,” sald the girl, “to come right up on the roof as soon as you come in, She's up there with the children and it's nice and coo, Mrs. Kittingly has her ukalall up there and sone of the other tenants are singing songs.” And Mr, Jarr climbed up to the roof and greeted those present with, _ “Hello, everybody!

The knowing woman will slip off her street shoes after she enters her home and thus rest her feet in an- other pair, even if it is only for leas than en hour, The resultant comfort will pay for the slight incon- venience of changing. At all eventa shoes should be changed once a@ day.

If the feet ache very much after coming home remove the shoes and stockings. Recline and rest the tired feet upon a cushion or, atill better, bathe therm in a golution of soda a cold cream and massage thoroughly. Wipe off the surplus cream and apply talcum powder, If you haven't the time for this simply rub the soles with olive oil after the soda bath, Rubbing the eoles with olive ol] after the morning bath will be found bem- eficlal, too, Aftor bathing the feet reat slippers should be worn for several hours, This does not mean the comfortable knit bath alippera or “mules.” If you desire @ trim foot do not give it too much chance for stretching out, The broad, flat-heeled leather glip- pers are ideal for resting the feet, They are very comfortable and will prevent the feet from the undesirable spreading.
