New York.--How modern tunnels for vehicles under rivers, such as the : Holland tunnel under the Hudson, have been made possible by means of experiments on animals and experiments in which full-sized autos were driven through a small experimental tunnei, is revealed in a report to the Engineering Foundation here by A- C. Fielduer, chief engineer of the experiment station division of the United States bureau of mines. When the Holland tunnel was fli^t proposed, says Mr. Fieldner, many engineers thought that It would be impossible to ventilate. The amount of poisonous carbon monoxide given off in the exhaust was thought to be sb great that It could not be carried away. Experiments made by Prof, fandell Henderson at Yale university showed trt; harmful if the exposure did not -L, exceeds an hour. .* The first experiments were made ' ' on animals, then Professor Henderson, §fad his students tried It oo them- 'seilves. * Then an experimental tunnel was built at the experimental nine of the bureau of mines near Pittsburgh. - This was 9 feet wide, 8 feet high and , 400 feet long? Above the ceiling was an air duct three feet high and below •« the floor was one two and one-half f^et high. Either could be used for introducing fresh air or for exhausting contaminated air. Small automobiles ^rere driven blrt and forth through" the tunnel at a speed of ten miles an hoar and at 40- v f6ot Intervals. Tests were made with •* vfarious methods of removing and admitting the air, and examinations of f ttbe drivers by blood tests were made before and after. It was found that the most efficient method of ventilating was to admit the fresh air at the bottom and to remove It at the top. . • i Another safety device developed by the bureau of mines In use In the Holland tunnel Is an automatic carbon monoxide recording machine, which rings a bell and flashes a dan- F ger light when the gas beeomes more •ntrnted than *our parts In 10,- m Then Immediate steps can be < ' taken to increase the circulation of . Jl Ideal Beau Must Have Job, Say Atlanta Debs Atlanta, Ga.--A serious-minded man who sends flowers, who does not dance with his eyes closed, a man who ha* a job, a sense of humor and an auto mobile, makes the most desirable beau, say members of this year's debutante club here. J "Of course." said- one of the! society misses by way of amendment, "a oar isn't absolutely necessary, but It helps a lot" But all insisted the man must have a Job, and a good job at that. None of this "two can live as cheaply as one" palaver for them. Didn't they know girls who had tried It? Ideals of the men were not discussed by the debs. "You have to fit the ideals to the man," said one. As for the type of men the debutantes were noncommittal. There Is a tradition that each debutante should have two beans at the Piedmont Driving club's Halloween dance, one to sit on each side of her at the flower-banked table when members of tb© debutante club make their first that as much carbon monoxide in the form, a* appearance In a body.

Locating Fire in Ship Real Task for Experts New Orleans, La.--One of the hardest Jobs for a water-going fire department is finding the fire, says John J. O. Pasley. fire captain of the fire tug Deluge, guardian of New Orleans harbor. "When a building Is boning you can see where and how It Is burning. When a ship is afire, however, It's not so easy. It may be afire in any one of 100 places. Generally, though, you can find the fire by searching for the hottest place on the deck, dut even after yon have done this, your work has Just started, because then yon have to learn the construction of the ship, the arrangements of bulkheads and hatches, and learn the nature of the cargo." Wbe Deluge, the captain says, an* swers about four calls s month In addition to emergency tasks of vaHous kinds. Traffic eigpert says street cars are here to stay, "but the trouble Is they all seem to stay at the other end of t^e line; We have often wondeteft, ta Aw Innocent way, whether the inventor of the telephone booth also designed the breakfast nook.

By Robert Stead fROM the hilltop where Clare ptood she watched the sun sink slowly into his bed of snow. Her vantage point was the only elevation for many miles in all that prairie country. It commanded a view as far as eye could reach, broken only by the groves of box-elders and Bussian poplars, now leafiest* and shrunken, which the settlers had planted about their steadings. Clare loved to climb it for the exhilaration, the vastness, the sense of Infinity which it gave her. At least, that was the explanation she offered when explanations were necessary. Her custom of walking to the top of, the hill every evening before sunset could not escape observation and comment in a community where the doings of neighbors constituted the chief topic of conversation. "Saw that Carson girl on 'the knob' again tonight," Bert McVain remarked at the supper table after his return from the market town where he had been delivering a load of wheat. "She's getting crazlei* every day." ' "Too bad," Serfs mother commented, with a sigh. "She used to be so bright It must be a great trial to llrs. Carson." And so the. talk ran through the neighborhood. Clare0 Carson, was "a little off." Echoes of that gossip did not fall to reach the Carson homestead, where Clare had^ been taken (strictly to account for her wanderings. "But Mother," the girl protested, "so long as I don't neglect my work-- and I don't--why shouldn't I walk up the knob' If I want to? The exercise and fregh air- are good for me after all day Iri'ttte Hbupe." "Just the same, it don't look right," her mother argued. "People are beginning to talk." "Let them," said Clare. And because she was twenty-two, and had a will of her own, the walks continued and the gossip grew. "Oh, why can't they let me alone.!*' she- exclaimed to herself, as she watched the sun dip into his bed of snow, "Fred, Fred! Do ypu know-- can you understand--how I am keeping ttoj? promise!" The red light, mingled with that bluish-white reflection which artists find in untrodden snow, touched her cheeks with Its feathery brush, painting them with the glow of buoyant health. Under the tam which sheltered her pretty head her eyes shone with a sunset luster even while they plead for an answer from the Infinite. For six months she had kept her tryst; six months to a day, for was not this the twenty-fourth of December? On that June night half a year ago Fred had held her in his arms on this very spot while he told her of the urgency which took him Bast The death of his tether demanded his Immediate return. "And, Clare," he told her, "I know what their plans are. There Is a match all made for me.

So she had promised, and for six months she had kept her promise, while the neighbors concluded that the Carson girl was "a bit off." On this Christmas eve, from her pinnacle of sublime loneliness, she watched the last red rays pour out over the bluish-white snow, touching to coLor tattered remnants of cloud afloat in the western sky. She wondered If it could be possible that her yearnings were In some way reaching her lover, strengthening his heart for the .fight with the wealth and pride of his family. Suddenly her reverie was interrupted by the sound of sleigh bells on the road at the foot of the hill. A team and cutter were swinging' sharply southward through the gathering dusk. As she watched, the horses were reined In, the cutter stopped, one of the two occupants got out and a man came ranaing toward her. The nest oroment she was in his arms, breathless, laughing. almost too excited to speak. "I knew I would find you here," hi cried, "if only we made It on time!* "But tell me, Fred, how does it come? Explain," she managed at length. "I will--at the boose," he answered. "Come!" . She hesitated, and a shadow swept' her glowing face. "You know what my people think," she reminded him.

"Does It make any difference, dear?': "All the difference In the world.*' she cried, exultantly. "Now I can marry you, and no one will say It Is because you are rich! But what about her?" "At the house," waa all he. would answer. He seized her arm, and together like children they rushed do\YI» the mil. "It was like this," he explained, to the assembled Carson family after supper. "My father left me a million or so and a request that I should a»k Julia France to be my wife. Uncles, aunts, cousins, my mother--everybody Interpreted that request as a cummand./' H was such a suitable match, (hey said. Julia, It seemed, shared thai opinion. "I delayed my proposal until could think tt over, and one day, just at sunset, came a bright idea. Perhaps it started on Knob Hill." He glanced appreciatively at Clare, who blushed! but kept her counsel. "Then I rushed to my broker. M 'How long does It take to lose % million dollars on the stock market? I asked.
