UNDERGROUND LIFE
OF THE BIG CITIES

"From a million and a half to mill
lion and three-quarters of the residents
of New York city spend at least a por-
ton of each day underground ana
manv thousands come to the surface
so rarely that the light of day blinds
them when they reach it," says Leo L.
Redding in a profusely illustrated ar
ticle in the September Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. Discussing this
phase of modern city life, Mr.. Redding
adds:
come to the idea of living under
/ ground that only a few days ago
public celebration was held when
/ new underground passageway was op-
ened This newest tunnel costing
tmany thousands of dollars, was dug
to give the people who live near the
Hundson river and in the neighborhood
/ of 1s1st street an opportunity to pass
beneath the hills from their homes to
1.-THE subway, by which means they
travel to the lower end of Manhattan
kIsland to Brooklyn, and, by means OF
: a transfer, to New Jersey. Until tins
underground cutoff was opened the
same citizens had tC walk about 1,ODO
feet up and downfill breathing the
i good outdoor air. Now they Will make
the same trip underground through
damn. dingy passageway, and because
they save few hundred feet and a
| bit of exertion consider themselves
fortunate
I According to the best robtainable
statistics about 10000 persons in New
York city spend their tire working
lhours beneath the surface of the earth.
| These figures include $500 employees

Given sufficient number of debu-
tanteS and brides ofinterest with which
to begin a new year of social life, no
winter season should lack gayety.
Every bride is interesting to certain
group of friends, of course, but even
in the west, it is only the ones bearing
names that family achievements and
the public prints have made familiar
that can lay rightful claim to general
interest and the calendar for the sea-
son is pretty well filled with names OF
prominence.
w edneSday, Wh1cn is usually re-
garded as brides day, has been chosen
as the date for three weddings next
week of local interest. Miss Rachel
Coston and Mr.. Frank A. Theis will
be married in the evening at S o'clock
at the Coston home. Mrs. Charles
Samson and DR. George c. Pritchard
will be married Wednesday evening at
o'clock, and Miss Mary Sawyer of Nc
Pherson and Mr.. Cyrus Monroe of To-
peka have chosen Wednesday as their
wedding day, and the marriage will
take place in the evening at the Saw
yer home.
The wedding of Miss Alice Lakin
and MIR. William Curtis will be an in
tHreSting event of the autumn. The
marriage of Miss Beulah Botham and
Mr.. Carl Searle is set for Wednes-
day, October 10. And later in the

ficers: Mr.. Robert Beine, president;

liam Miller, assistant secretary; Mr..
Richard FrittS, treasurer. The dates
for their dances have not yet been de-
cided upon, but the club will give Il
party october II, and possibly one or
two before that date. The dances of
the club for the season will be given
in the new Kellam hall, though the
first of the parties will be at one of the
other large halls.
The assembly people have not yet
called a meeting to make their plans
for this year. Last season the club
discontinued their parties, but it is
probable that the members will de-
eide to reorganize for this winter.

on the two systems of subways now
IN operation. They include 4.vO0 men
VINO are employed digging the new
subways. This force will be more than
doubled in the near future Also in
cluded are the 200 men, most of whom
are working several hundred feet be-
low the street surface, driving that
wonderful aqueduct which is to carry
throughout the island of Manhattan
and over into Long Island the waters
that are being brought down by siphon
from the Catskill mountains. Then
there are more than 10000 men and
women who are employed in more
private enterprises that take them con-
stantly below the street surface
ON quite ordinary days 10000 per-
sons are accommodated in the New
York subways, and the crowds are
multiplying week by week
Men go below the surface to reach
the trains that are to take them from
that architectural wonder the new
pennsylvania station, east and west
out of the city. After they have reach
ed the trains they are dropped still
further underground. in order that they
may pass beneath the bottom of the
Hudson and East rivers

means of the New York Central rail-
road or the New York, New Haven e.
Hartford railroad it is necessary to
to make use of that other architecture
al wonder, the Grand Central station,
and again travellers drop down into the
bowels of the earth before they may
start.
In the great hotels of New York the
mechanical departments are all far
beneath the street surface. These de-
partments are we'll worth visiting. and
in most cases the hotel proprietors are
only too glad to permit their kitchens,
bakeshops, furnace rooms, engine
rooms, and laundies to be inspected
These places ordinarily are the. clean
est in the entire hotel.
Many of New Yorks greatest de
partment stores are connected directly
with the subways, as are also some of
its newer theaters. Last February
family of three from San Francisco,
visiting in New York. lived for a fort
night in one of the most fashiona BILE
and most expensive hotels in the city,
spent most of their time shopping
sightseeing and theater-going and
only once during the entire IA DAYS
passed into the open air of the outside
world. From their rooms in the hotel
they We're dropped. by elevator to the
level of the subway. Through the sub
way they went to department stores,
theaters, restaurants, museums and
even to church. When they started
for home they went by subway from
their hotel to the Grand Central sta
ton and did not get out into sunlight
until their train had well started on its
long journey. And this was not on q

jayne DEFEATED
BY ARMSTRONG
Minneapolis Tennis Expert
Loses in First Round of
Gopher State Tourney.

Duluth, Mimi, July 15.-Joe Arm
strong yesterday defeated Trafford
Jayne in the first clash of two of the
great stars of the tourney, the st.
Paul youth beating the Minneapolis
veteran g., 81.
Armstrong won comparatively easy
in the first set and then was forced to
extend himself to take the second set
Of the match.
Jayne had the former state cham
pion down four love and was outplay-
ing Armstrong. At this point the re-
cent winner of the bf-state tournament
rallied, and using an effective drive,
varying this occasionally with a clever
chop strike, brought the score up to
four all. Jayne won the next and then
Armstrong brought the score even
again.
Again jayne won and again Arm
strong rallied and made it a deuce
set, jayne won the nex game, and
then Armstrong. playing some very
clever tennis, won the next three
games and the match.
While Armstrong played the driving
game, it didn't seem to some Of those
on the side lines that the St. Paul man
was playing in the form he exhibited
at the state tournament here two
years ago.
During a major part Of the second
set Jayne assumed the aggressive, and
by some clever playing kept Arm
strong on the defensive. The returns
Of Armstrong were not in many in
stances as accurate as he has shown
upon former occasions.
