There is a sign interpreted to

The sway Is a favorable one for
making plans. Organization. de-

Mr.. and Mrs. White will not take
bridal trip, but accounts seem to
disagree as to whether they are re-
naming at her New York home for
the present or have gone to Lenox,
Mass, where she has a beautiful
place. Mrs. Sloane spent the au-
tumn at Lenox, Mr.. White being a
frequent guest at her house, and II
was his constant presence there
which gave rise to the persistent
rumors that the veteran diplomat
had persuaded her to reconsider
her decision never to marry again.

START WORK ON TUNNEL
 NEW YORK TO JERSEY CITY

New York, Oct. 12-Construction of vehicular tunnel under the Hudson river between New York and Jersey City starts today with the breaking of ground for one of. the tubes big airshafts. State, county and municipal officials from both states have been invited to participate in the ceremonies in Manhattan this aft ernoon.
 Engineers expect to complete the struc- ture by 1924 The cost, estimated at S29 9.000.000 is to be born equally by the two states Shore work. including the shafts and approaches, will require IS months to construct. after which actual work of boring under the river is to be- gin.
 Continued congestion at the ferries be- | tween New York and New Jersey prompts the belief of tunnel engineers that 5.600.- | 900 motor and horse-drawn conveyances l will use the tube in 1924 with traffic showing a steady increase, reaching an annual figure of 22,000,000 vehicles by l 1942. Tolls based on the ferry rates will be levied for 20 years to pay for the tube, and then it would be free for the use of all.
 Four driveways, two in each direction | will be provided. A sidewalk, two feet
 in width also is planned. The tunnel
 comprising twin cast iron tubes each
 with an external diameter of 29 feet, will
 be six feet wider than the Pennsylvania
 Railroad tubes under the Hudson Eas
 rivers.

 ferries. would be precluded by providing at each end of the tube derrick-equippet : trucks to talk estalled automobiles il I tow. Three driveways in each direction 5 will be furnished on the, approaches, be
