(Seatholders, Strophangers end Other Bhontsites, ORTY-SEOOND STREET was dark and damp and dismal. F A cold, drizzly, penetrating rain was falling. Endless lines of humanity were scurrying, bedraggled, into holes in the ground or clambering aboard clanging trolley care. Lights winked and blinked like fire- flies in the gray and black vortex. Men, women and children pushed, squirmed and fought their way to- ward the yawning caverns, called “kiosks” of the subway. Down these funnels a steady stream of humanity.) poured. There are two sides to Forty-second Street, an upper and a lower. On the upper side, which is above the sur- face, if a human being can dodge the ever-perplexing maze of autos, trolley cars, dashing and shouting newspaper vendors, and mobs of bundle carriers home-bound from the shopping sones, he is reasonably safe in the exercise of his God-given priv- flege of free will. The lower side, which is below the surface, is differ- ent. He who enters here leaves hope and inalienable right behind. Once within that cavernous maw, one passes, body and soul, within the custody of Mr. Shonts’s Inter- borough, All human agencies cease to function. Fate becomes a matter of weight. Avoirdupois alone counts. At this particular time the subway at 424 Street was at the very zenith of Shontsdom. All downtown was moving uptown, and seemed deter- mined to get there on the same train. Likewise, all uptown appeared to be moving downtown with the same ab- sorbing aspiration. New York is divided tnto two parte —East Side and West Side, At 42d Street the East Side moves over to the West Side and the West Side moves over to the East Side. Hence, the shuttle! The shuttle |s a huge hole in the ground extending three blocks from Times Square to Grand Central, a short part of which is traversed by small trains, usually of three cars each, It shifts New York and a BS FOR SHUTTLING THE SHUTTLE. 1.
