Informal Poll in Commons is Reported to Show a Big Favorable Majority BRIDGE ALSO DISCUSSED Chief Difficulty is to Persuade English Militarists Invasion From Air is Possible Loudon. â€" An informal poll of the nii-mberH of the House of Commons by ^ir William Hull was said today to have shown that an overwhelming ma- jority of (he members favored the often BUKKested project for an English Channel tunnel. When Parliament reassembles on Tuesday, Krnest Thurtle, a Labor member, will ask Premier Baldwin when the question can be formally jliacussed In Parliament. An even more fascinating proposal than the eO-year-old tunnel scheme, now under discus.sion In Kngland, is that for a twenty-one-mile channel bridge. From It travellers who have suffered the tortures of channel sea- Bicltness would be able to laugh at the churning waters. A channel bridge scheme was out- lined forty years aj^to. Competent engineers claim such a structure is feasible and that the structural dlf- flculties would only be a llltle greater than those incurred in throwing great spans across the Hudson River at New York. The channel at Its narrowest point Is comparatively shallow. If St. Paul's Cathedral were set down In the middle'of the channel a considerable part of the dome would be left stick- [ Ing above the waves.

The question to be decided is \;»itlier tlie World War altered Eng- land's island isolation. Those who favor the tunnel say this country Is directly open to afiack from the air, to seige by submarine and possibly to invasion by air. If they can con- vince the military strategists of this, the tunnel project will at last enter the field of practical politics. Political rather than engineering riifTKultles have always blocked the < liannel tunnel. On two occasion-; the House of Commons voted in favor of the proposal and work was a<tually slarlr-d from the English side, but Uritain's Committee on Imperial De- fense influenced the (iovernmeiit against the project. So the cliannel subsoil remains un- pierced, while the world's biggest and roughest ferries- â€" as the Dover-Calais, Folkestone-Boulogne and New Haven- Dieppe crossing are called â€" continue with their dally plague of sea sickness. Transport diflicultles with costly delay and sometimes damage of goods Is a further loll exacted by ferryijig freight between Britain and the Continent. A channel tunnel would save an hour and a half on (he lilp from Lon- don to Paris. 'I'lic chaniiel from Dover to Calais is twenty-one miles wide atul steamships now take about an hour and a quarter on the passage. In stormy Winters such as the present one, the crossings take longer and on Bome days are suspended altogi-tlier. Cost Put at $150,000,000 Kroni Calais a dozen international trains start for jiolnis as far away as Constantin(ii)le, Italy and (iermany. If the tunnel were constnicled travel- lers could enter their railway roinpart- nients In London and, with only a change of trains where railway gauges changes, as on the Itussia lines, ride to destinations in Ihiee conlineiils. ITnlianipered by pollllial problems the Spanish flovernment has started work on a Cibrultar Straits tunnel linking .Spain with Morocco. Torreon de las Penas, four miles from Tarlfa, has been selected as the site for the BpanlHli entrance. The Moroccan exit will be chosen next month. The (!lh- raltar tunnel will <ost about 2.50 million dollars. Boring can be HtarDnl on the Anglo- French tunnel as roon as the British (iovernment removes Its objections.

"You're early â€" and you've brought a friend with you." He advanced and shook Mack's hand. "You're welcome." Now he recog:nized his other visitor. "Well, Mr. Goodkind. You're welcome, too. Have you come down to look us over?" "I've come down on personal busi- ness," said Goodkind abruptly. "Oh, yes," said Daniel. He turned to Grubby. "There's a box of books in the hall, Grubby. How would you and your friend like to â€" " Grubby squirmed a bit. "I've got to help with the coffee," lie said. "I see," said Daniel. He turned to Mack.

"I wanted to ask you â€" " put in Mack, still smiling. "After the meeting," said Gilchrist with emphasis. He turned to Good- kind. "Won't you sit downl" Mack scowled at Daniel's back. "Thanks!" he muttered scornfully and slouched toward the door.

"Something about 'Better Babies.'" "Are you going into the baby busi- ness," the man asked, smiling. "No,' I was a hansom driver. Hacks â€" man and boy â€" 40 years. Then taxis come in â€" and I went out." "What'd you do then?" the visitor was Inquisitive. "Took to drink," said Grubby blandly. "Yeh, then drink -went out," ob- served Mack. "What's your job?" It was Brub- by's turn to question. "Well, I was in the movies," Mack replied. "That is, I was going to be but the fellow that was going to put up the money, his mother didn't die after all. Before that, I sold bricks â€"books, too. And life insurance: Never had any luck. Who wrote that, 'Luck is work.' " Mr. Gilchrist." "Well, it Isn't. I've worked at 50 things and look at me. I figure the world owes me a living, and hei-e I am waiting for a bite of grub and an overcoat. Is it true this guy'll give you an overcoat?" "He will if he's got one. You just come and help yourself, and talk things over. Coffee and sandwiches every night â€" and supper and sermons on Wednesdays." "Preachin'," said Mack, rising. "I'll come back tomorrow." Grubby was rea;suring him when .Mary Margaret entered. She was a mere wisp, gliding on crutches, 15, pathetically pretty. She found cups and saucers on a shelf and busied her- self with them. "Don't he try to leform you?" (]uer- ied Mack of Grubby skeptically. He hadn't noticed the giil. 'Naw," said (Jrubby. "The way he talks you'd think you was as good as him. He says he's going to start me up in the taxi business." "What's the catch? There must be some graft in it somewhere." "If you ask me, I think the poor gent's got a few nuts in his no.sebag." Grubby described a circle over his head with his hand. "A little bit batty. That's what I say." "And that's what you got no right U say. Grubby." Mary .Margaret re- proached the two with a look. "He's been gowl to you, ain't he?" "That's why we think he's nutty," said Grubby. "What's he do it for?" " 'Cau.se he love you," .said the girl, simply. "What for?" asked Grubby uncom- prehendingly. "(Jod knows!" mocked Mary Mar- garet. She hobbled to the table and began to set it. "It's after 7 now," she sighed, "and the meeting half an hour away and he ain't had a bite to eat since morning." She paused. "He went to see a man who killed himself." Mack laughed. She looked at him curiously. "I meanâ€" trie<l to. It was ill the pai)crs and he read it and says: 'I want to talk to that man.' " She was still looking at Mack and now she recalled his words. "draft," she said witheringly. "Why he didn't even have rent money yes-, terday and he was despiriled. He ain't had money to get himself a pair of shfj<s, and nobody helps him, or conies near him, but you bums that roast him behind his back." The door opened and George F. Goodkind looked In rather curiously. "1 didn't roast him. I ju.»t said he was crazy." tirubby dismissed the .subject, then looked at the intruder, "Mr. Gilchrist?" Croodkind asked, stepping in. "He'll be hero any minute," an- swered Mary Margaret. "Won't you come in?^' Goodkind walked to tlM> table. Grub- selves together and gat out of a hole, we must keep our self-resjxict." "I wouldn't stealâ€"," started Mack apologetically. "You co'jldn't," said Daniel com- tlacemtly. He stooped and picked it up. "It's yoir coat. You asked for it, and I g^ave it to you. When you've worn it into a gdod job â€" come back and help me give another to someone who needs it as you do." He held up the coat for Mack to don. "I will," said the man, pushing an arm through a sleeve, still bewildered beyond words. "Of course you will," saiJ Gilchrist, slapping him on the back. "Good night." Mack hesitated. Gilchrist had turned back to (Joodkind. Mack look- ed at him as though he had been con- vinced of his madness. Then shrug- ging his shoulders, he strode out ; â- â- AoncMy hc:p.-! him but you tha- roast him behind his back bums ing on the rack. He looked back, rat- like. Then, stealthily, he reached for it, caught the arm of it and pulled it toward him. Daniel and Goodkind were concern- etl with each other, not Mack. "I'm glad you dropped in tonight," Daniel said. "Because I've been in- tending to call on you. But there's so much to do here â€" " A clatter interrupted him. The coat had come loose from the hook, but with it had come the shaky umbrella and it crashed to the floor with con- siderable racket. Daniel turned to lc<)k into the sheep- ish eyes of a thief. There was neither anger nor ven- geance in his faceâ€" -there was a smile. The slam of the door touched a' spark to the silent Goodkind. | "Well, I'll be damned," he exploded, j Gilchrist laughed He won'ti come! back," Goodkind conMuued half an- gry. "Not one in ten would come back." "All right," said Daniel genially. "That coat cost $20. If one in ten does come back, we've made a man for $200. Isn't it \vorth the price?" "Maybe," said Godkind, without conviction, "if a man's got the price. Have you?" (To be continued.) "Here'.

Says Body Is Found Of Solomon's Wife Cairo Paper Reports Discov- ery of Mummy in Peru- salem of King's Favorite Scroll Relates Sacrifice Cairo â€" The Cairo newspaper Mokat- tam publishes a remarkable story re- porting the discovery in Jerusalem of the mummy of King Solomon's fav- orite wife. The body is said to have been found In the course of excava- tions on the Mount of the Temple in an underground chamber filled with wonderful objects, the most marvel- ous being a gold coffin in which the mummy lay wrapped in richest cov- erings set with precious stones. Buried with the body, It is said, was a parchment scroll in Hebrew, ] said to have been written by Solomon, I extolling the virtues of "my favorite wife, MotI Marls of Memphis, who I sacrificed herself for husband and â-  king. In recognition of my deep love for her, and my boundless apprecia- I tion of her loyalty and self-sacrifice, I â-  with my own hands have placed on her forehead my magnificent crown, presented to me by my people on the twenty-fifth anniversary of my acces- sion." The scroll is said to recount how three months previously Amerto, the woman's father, cam • from Egypt, • "his hands laden with valuable gifts but his heart full of malice," and In an endeavor to seize the country on behalf of Pharaoh of Egypt ordered his daughter to poison Solomon's wine. It reads: "When Moti poured the wine into the cups I noticed Amerto did not extend his hand, nevertheless, I un- suspectingly raised by cup to my lips. Thereupon Moti. who was stand- ing by my side, snatched the cup and drank the wine herself."

The thief i,.i.l fled utterlyâ€" but the man was still there. "No â€" Iâ€" Iâ€" wanted â€" " ho faltered. "You wanted my coat," said Gil- christ calmly. Mack smiled at the simple explana- tion. He was relieved and somehow he felt very warm. "Yes â€" that's â€" that's what I want- ed to ask you," he said. "I'm so glad you said so," said Gil- christ without a trace of Irony. Mack looked up, surprised. "Becar.sc," went on Daniel, "If you hadn't, and I hadn't understood, you might have been tempted to take It without asking â€" and then you'd have been so sorry and ashamed." Mack wanted to lower his head, but he couldn't. The other's eyes held hini.
