the possibility of being blown into the air." one official said
 Tn Hell Gate we are demolishing Frying Pan reef, which Is 4So feet by S6o feet From eight to ten months will be required to complete this task. A drill boat is being warped across it in parallel paths thirty feet apart, drilling holes into which from 100 to 15O pounds of dynamite is packed and exploded. A dipper dredge, following the drill boat loads the blasted rock into scows for dumping into holes 75 feet deep or more in the river. This leveling of the river bottom removes the source of eddies, smoothing the current.
 Pot Rock, another reef in Hell Gate, will be destroyed next Because of treacherous currents for which it is responsible, Pot Rock is known as the wickedest spot in American waters
 The longest slack water period reg istered in Hell Gate during the last forty years was 23 minutes. It is with in that slack period that drilling points must be located, charges planted and fired and the position of the plant changed. Divers on this work are gen. erally unable to spend more than 15 minutes under water at a time, so that they work but half an hour in a twen- ty-four hour day.
 As precaution against being by passing craft the navy de- partment and customs house officials have warned operators and ownersc of vessels to keep safe distance from dredging plants. For compliance with this warning S5 captains were ar raigned recently within a period of ten days. Many were suspended for from ten days to six months.
 When the collision signal is sound cd on one of the dredging vessels each of tho dynamite crew, wearing life belts, grabs a box of the explosive and stands by to jump overheard.
 'The project of dredging the East river to the sound was first undertaken , forty years ago, to provide New York !! narbor with aA entrance which would ! not require continuous dredging like | Ambrose channel, where five govern 1 nent dredges are constantly removingt -he infiltrating sands. Flood Rock, in | He'll Gate, was then removed and some | lesser work accomplis shed before the was exhausted"
 When Flood Rock was blasted, a | ;harge of 100000 pounds of dynamite vas fired, the official said Launches ,n the river a mile away were lifted | .hree feet out of the water. but no | iamage resulted.

New York, July 22.-Death by drowning or dynamite-these are chief among the dangers facing the men who are dredging the East River to Long Island sound. that New York may have another deep sea passage to the At lantic.

 Most ofsthe work must be done du-- ing the slack water period at the change of tides, and. as there is gener- ally from 800 to 1000 pounds of dyna- mite aboard each drill boat, the danger of being rammed by passing craft and sent to the bottom Is complicated with

MILLIONS SPENT
 ON NEW THEATRES
And Yet New Workers Cannot Get Houses in
 Which to Live
By Auoels,,s Prs,


 New York. July 24.-Millions are be- ing spent for new playhouses to insure New Workers ample amusement this winter. although flat tuIlders cannot get loans for housing the masses of the metropolitan district
 This was revealed today when a sur vey was made of the rust of theatre constructions, which disclosed that $25,O00,000 worth of new amusement houses were under way.
 Many of the new playhouses are wip- ing out old flats and dwellings urgent ly needed for homes, social welfare in- vestigators declare, and as a result the housing shortage Is becoming more acute.
 The theatre builders assert that the immense sums pouring into places of amusement are Justified. as the new construction guarantees them a profi- table return on the investment
 Although there are 500 running thea tres in the greater city and $50 in tho entire metropolitan district, eIght new theatres costing nor ethan $12,000,0O0 are planned in Long Acre-Times Square district three in Greenwich Vil- lage, four large houses and score of smaller theatres in the Bronx, three in Washington Heights and five in Brook lyn.
 There are now 115 theatres operating in Brooklyn.

and trains, just as nervous men in the west finger their watch chains. Bead shops abound everywhere in the larger cities, and general stores and market stalls sell them in the smaller places. Peddlers hawk them in the streets every where
 Light-colored amber beads of large size are the latest thing in beads for women. Meerschaum beads are also popular and for the moment plain beads of all sorts have displaced highly ornate carved beads of the type which Syrians produce in great quantities for exportation
