The southern Aerminal of this line. is already sup- plied with more branches than the trunk tracks can properly accommo~ date, but the northern extremity has but one collecting and distributing branch, the two track line through 59th and 60th Strects to the Queens- borough Plaza, The other two tracks of the trunk line are dead-ended at §9th Street. For this reason, work~- ward in the morning and homeward at night, during the rush hours, only half of the capacity of the lino is developed from the northern terminal. Passengers using the Brooklyn sys- tem are, moreov unable to pass north of 59th Street without paying an additional fare at an Interborough station. It is proposed, therefore, to ‘build another two-teack extension from. Seventh Avenue North under Central Park West, and the Park to 110th Street, and thence via Seventh Avenue to 155th Street and Bighth Avenue. A spur track for such a con- nection has already been constructed. ‘This extension would provide, in ef- fect, another no¢th and south line for the full length of Manhattan Island. It would relieve very materially the Ninth and Sixth Avenue Lines of the Manhattan Elevated Company, as well as the Lenox Avenue branch of the original subway between 110th Street and the Harlem River. The Central Park West route would hasten the day of the Sixth Avenue @levated line could be removed from the street. Another incidental advantage of surface tracks upon Central Park West may be more readily removed— as the subway would provide vir- tually the same service—and the re- leased surface of the street thereupon transformed into a westerly park boulevard, The approximate cost of the Cen- tral Park West-Seventh Avenue ex- tension would be $26,500,000, and the time consumed in construction three and one-half years. —_>—— be BROOKLYN CROSSTOWN ROUTE. The so-called Brooklyn Crosstown Ine was originally projected as an elevated when the dual system was laid out, but its construction was de- ferred because of local objection to elevated construction, and because of the fact that the city’s resources for the more exper've alternative of sub- way building had then been exhaust- ed. It is the opinion of the Commis- sion that the line should be built as a subway without further delay—tirst, a8 a ineans of articulating all of the vapid transit lines at present travers- (ng Brooklyn and Queens, so that any one of these can be reached conven- jently and quickly from any other one; second, as a means of access to the shore front of Brooklyn and Queens north of the Navy Yard; ana third, as @ direct means of carrying passengers from Maghattan and - Queens to Brooklyn and Coney Island Through Long Island City the line will follow Jackson Avenue. Through the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, t will follow Manhattan Street, and thence through Roebling Street, Wil- amsburgh, and by the cutting of a new street, of about three blocks in length, from Roebling Stre + to Bed- ford Avenue, and thence to a con- nection with the Brighten Beach Line at Fulton Street and Franklin Avenue, Tn its progress, it would furnish points of transfer to the stations of al] the other lines it would tntercept—the Broadway, Myrtle and Lexington Ave- nue elevated lines, and the 14th Street-Eastern subway. The Commission has also in view a further connection hetween this line by way of Flushing or Park Avenues and Jay and Smith Streets, to the Borough Hall section of Brooklyn. The estimated cost of the line as now proposed is $24,000,000, and the timo to complete from three to three nnd one-half years, 32 al FULTON ST. TO CITY HALL. Thé propased link between thé Ful- ton Street elevated line in Brooklyn and the Manhattan sections of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit subway would proceeed, at the Brooklyn end, by way of the so-called ‘Ashland Place connection.” This will-provide additionally a connection with the present Fourth Avenue subway. It is the view of the commission, how- NEW TRANSIT PLANS, TO AD 5 MILES - TOCIY SUBHANS, COST $218,000,000 ever, that another crossing to Man- hattan should be afforded through a new East River: tunnel, for the re- ler from over-crowding of the ex st- ing Whitehall tunnel. If such a plan is followed, {t will Inyolvo more or Jess modification of the Nassau Street subway in Manhattan, The building of this line, for which provison ts made in the dual e@ntracts, had not been undertaken, apparently more or less by common consent, during the vight years preceding 1921, The pres- ent commission, upon its appointment a year ago, made no change in this situation, pending proper considera- ton of plans under which It might be linked with a tunnel of its own or otherwise modifted,, The present recommendations of the commission's engineers cover two alternative routes. — ite TO ELIMINATE “L” LINE. Each of these alternate routes would require, at the start, thé remoyal of the elevated railroad from lower Ful- ton Street, Brooklyn, thereby greatly improving the most important thoroughfare of that borough. Under elther, the Fulton Street tracks would be dropped to a subway at a point at or near Clermont Avenue, and carried thence via Fulton Street, private prop- erty. Fort Greene Place, DeKalb Avo- nue, further private property and Livingston Street to Sidney Place. From this point the first of the alter- native routes would proceed under Grace Court and the East River to Nassau Street, and thence across Park Row under the present Post Office Building to a connection with the Broadway Subway at City Hall, Man- hattan. Under the second a‘ternative the lime would run from Livingston Street under private property to Clin- ton Street, and thence through Liberty Street and lower Fulton Street under the East River to Ann Street, ip Man- hattan, and across Park Row to tho main line at City Hall, The great central district of Brook- lyn has so far been deprived of Proper access to the city wide subway system. The commission wishes to right this seeming injustice as soon as possible. Brooklyn needs more than anything else in the way of transit facilities additional trunk line access to and, through Manhattan. There are so many branch lines tra- versing the Borough of Brooklyn un- der the dual plan, the traffic upon all of which is developing remarkably, and so few trunk lines serving these, that only about half of the full ca- pacity of the existing Brooklyn sys- tem can really be developed until more trunk lines are constructed. This, in the judgment of the commis- ston, is the strongest argument in favor of the construction of a new and separate tunnel for the down- town Manhattan connections. ‘The estimated cost of the first of t?> alternatives proposed from Ash- land Place to the City Hall, within which part of the original Nassau Street line would be incorporated, is $28,000,000, and that of the Ann Street connection, $25,000,000. In es- timating the outlay upon either of these alternatives, however, allowance should be made for the estimated cost of $7,000,000 of the Nassau line as a link in the dual plan, which is still carried in the estimates of uncom- pleted dual work, and which would be deducted from tho total cost of the purely new work. > NEW WEST SIDE ROUTE. Beginning at a point in 41st Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, where connection is to be made with the Queensborough subway, ground for which was broken last week, it will run south on a four track Ine through Eighth Avenue to 14th Street, and as a two track line to Hudson and Chambers Streets. Northward from 41st Street it will run as a four track subway up Highth Avenue and across 87th Street, with underground access to Columbus Circle, and up Amsterdam Avenue to 103d Street, therice as a four track subway to 155th Street, still via Amsterdam Avenue, but as a three track subway to 159th Street and Fort Washington Avenue, and thence to, 181st Street. It 1s proposed to construct the Eighth Avenue line by sections, each capable of linking up upon its cgm- pletition with some part of the transit system now in use, and in accordance with the following programine: (A) The first section will cover the line extending from 41st Street to 14th. Eventually eight tracks are designed for the full trunk sections of this route. Those now to be built will be loeated in @ two deck four track sub- way, placed on the west sido of the avenue, At dist Street this will be connected with the Queensborough ex tension and at 14th Street by means now 1761 Broadway ‘The EARL No other car of its size swings so near the road or hugs it more closely on corners or at speed.

(C) The third step will cover the section north, again as @ two deck four track subway on the westerly side of Highth Avenue to 57th Street and thence by way of Amsterdam Avenue to 103d Street, At this point the traffic of Lenox Avenue branch of the existing subway can be diverted to the new line, thereby providing for the immediate relief of the upper west side of Manhattan through the turn- ing over tho existing Broadway- Seventh Avenue line entirely to its service. (D), As a fourth and final step, the line will be continued on a four- track single level up Amsterdam Avo- nue to 165th Street, and from this point, with three tracks, up Fort Washington Avenue to 18ist Street. This fourth unit will provide the fur- ther facilities so badly needed through the densely built apartment fouse territory that has developed In upper Manhattan, as the result of the build- ing of the first subway. It would pro- eervice beginning at 156th Street and running the full distance south to Fourteenth Street. The estimated cost of the Highth Avenue Jine by sections would i$ (a) $12,000,000; (b) $7,500,000; (co) $24,000,000; (d)~$256,000,000—a total of $69,500,000, Sections (a) and (b) would take a little over three years to complete; ‘sections (¢) and (d) four years. It is proposed to develop a general concourse station at Columbus Circle, where the lines of the Amsterdam Avenue, the Broadway-Central Park West connection and the present sub- way will converge all within an area of two or threé, blocks, This would bring the service of practically every part of the city to Columbus Circle. mentions: PUBLIC’S VIEWS: INVITED. ‘The funds necessary to meet the cost of construction will be raised COLGATES RIBBON DENTAL CREAM T know that 1 could scrape my teeth clean with a soap- less, gritty tooth paste, but I know that washing is eafer than scouring. 1 know that Cotoats’s is made from non-gnitty chalk ‘and pure soap, which will loosen and wash eway injure ious substancesinmy mouth, 1 know COLGATE’S cleans my teeth thoroughly and thet mo dentifrice does more.

Perhaps you have considered it a natural result of work. But your work should not tire you so. It should not get “on your nerves.” Eminent scientists have realized this. They have studied the causes for fatigue. Their findings are extremely interest- ing to stenographers, for they show a way to more pleasant. work with les: fatiguing strain. A startling discovery! One of the most startling discoveries which has been made is the effect of NOISE on the nervous system. By _ élaborate and convincing tests, Angelo Mosso proved that the slightest. sound, even the tone of an organ, had an effect on the nerves which retards action in the same way that fatigue does. Wil- liam James proved the same truth with the noise of a bell. Freud demon- strated that re- peated mechanical sounds produce ab- norma! « mental 6 processes which quickly show up in the face and the physical body. Many scjentists have shown that women are more subject to unpleasant results from noise fatigue than men. * Just imagine the effect of a noisy typewriter, hammering away all day— when even the slightest sound is harm- ful to a girl who is working! Every time a key strikes, the sound delivers a blow to your nervous system. These harsh sounds, repeated all day, day after day, bring about a condition of nervous fatigue that affects every part of your body. Unfortunately, the results are seen first in the face; in tied, haggard eyes; dark circles; in loss of color; in flabby necks and premature wrinkles, New York Sompany, No, 346 Broad- was found with a gas tube Patrolman Rodgers broke Dr. Price of 14 the man Half un ifour after the’ body was taken to the station house, the woman Htelephoned that Daum was not “ghe had seen him move when the body Dr, €.

Don’t the harsh blows often “get on your nerves”? Don't you long for quiet? For a chance to relax? , You may think you get “accustomed” to noise. That is positively impossible. Your nerves hear every sound. They may get numbed—and when they do, the poison of rerve-fatigue is sapping the vitality of your whole body. Typewriter noise is often responsible for the premature loss of youthful beauty. and of many physical and nerv- ous ailments among stenographers, And NOISE is not necessary! Science has perfected The Noiseless Type- writer. It has made it faster, easier to operate and more friendly than any stock typewriter in the world, Great business houses have tried The Noiseless and found’ {t the equal, or the su- perior, of any typewritet made, Many executives insist that: their secretaries be Notselesd opera- tors, for they know the irritating and disturbing effect of noise. Have you ever tried The Noiseless? Have you ever run your fingers over its responsive keys? Do you know how much easier, and more pleasantly you can type in its blessed quiet? We will be glad to give a demonstra- tion at any time. We want every girl who uses a typewriter to know that it is no longer necessary to fight the evil effects of noise, The Noiseless saves your nerves—it makes your work far more pleasant and less fatiguing. Girls who are anxious to retain their good looks and health are, more and more, coming to demand The Noiseless.
