NEW CENTRAL LOOP
IN TRANSIT PLAN
Twining Submits Proposal for
Ridge Ave. christian ST.
Subway Detour
MAYOR IS IMPRESSED BY IT

A great subway loop plan conceived
with the idea of avertlng congestion In
the central part Of the city when the
broad street tube Is built has been sub.
mitted to Mayor Moore by Transit Di-
rector Twining.
4he proposed loop would branch out
from the Broad street limo NJ Ridge
avenue. run southeastcrly under Ridge
avenue to Spring Garden street. east
on Spring Garden to Seventh street,
thence to Christian and west on Chris.
tion street 20 Broad street. It Is also
proposed TO run a line west on Chris
tain street. connecting with Woodland
avenue.
The new plan was discussed at con-
ference OF city and p. II. r. engineers
nnd the Mayor last night Mayor

pan and said substantially tina, I. rro-
vlded well for the future. IIr pointed
out that portion of the proposed loop
WouI! run under Seventh street, witch
may b" widencd as an approach to the
Delaware River Bridge.
AS the city has already gone to much
"Sp"ns" IN preparation of loon Of On.
ur".r different direction. the proposal
ot Mr.. Twining is expected to meet
with opposition.
Mr. Moor" said he was much i'm.
pressed with the Twinrng p'nn and
pronounced the original one for de.
livery Ioon cmanating from City Hail
"dubious."
Conferences between the engineers Of

500 .u|. .0O0 high speed plan evolved
by the Administration. Director Twin
ing submitted his first report of the
ptuEr"ss OF the conferences 10 the

p. L. T. was inclined to look favorably
upon th" operation Of the Broad street
subway and the ultimate extensions to
that line.
Following his yak with Director

f the negotiations between the city and
company engineers.

WhaIen's Bridge

The bridge that Commissioner
Whalen proposes to build across the
East River would cost more than
500, 100000. The preliminary esti-
mate for structure and terminal is
Sal. 100000. Enterprises Of this
sort, particularly when conducted
by Tammany, always far exceed the
original estimates.
In the opinion of all intelligent
traction engineers bridges are far
inferior to tunnels as a means OF
cross-river transportation. They
require large tracts Of land at each
end. which must be acquired by con-
demnation proceedings. Tammany
always battens on the purchase Of
land. Plunkett used TO call it
"honest graft"
Yet Whalcn is determined to
build the bridge, confident that he
will have the backing Of Tammany.
Tammany wants the bridge, be-
cause it's members have lacked an
opportunity like that for long
time.
So, despite the opinion Of en-
glneers, despite the fact that q
bridge is cumbersome and out o.
date and that it will cost an al
ready tax-aurdened people many
tines what it ought to cost, it Is
likely TO be built.
The one hope of the people lies in
a Republican Assembly, which has
the power not only TO veto this gi-
gantic scheme, but TO keep the con-
troll Of all means Of transit, includ-
ing means TO carry people from bor-
ough TO borough, in the safe hands
Of the Transit Commission.
New-York tribune., 1922-12-31

found traces Of a Caucasian type
coming from Central Asia and Of n
more distinctly mongoloid type. At
what period these came he does not
attempt TO say, nor to what extent
the blending took place. He main
tains, however, that successive
waves sometimes amalgamated with
the tribes already on the continent
and in other eases drove out the
frat comers to seek refuge in out
of-the-way places. from the blend
irg OF these types developed the
American Indian Of to-day.
All such theories are, OF course.
highly speculative The real origin
OF the Indian still remains a mys-
terry. But DR.. Dixon makes an i'm
portant contribution to the subject
by his plea for considering the
peopling Of this continent on the
same basis as the peopling OF
Europe and Asia. 1t is generally
accepted. for example, that success
sive waves Of peoples swept over
Europe. Their remains show that
they were Of different types, al
though most Of them belonged TO
the Caucasian or white race. DR..
Dixon's contention is that similar
waves of different peoples swept
over America.
That these were, as he suggests
Of as widely different types az the
Caucasian and the negroid-austra-
loid races will. Of course, be con-
tested by many anthrOpologists. But
the analysis which he has begun Of
the different types shown in the In
dian remains may we'll shed inyal-
uable light upon the mystery Of the
origin of tho American Indians and
NAV show that the American Indians
are in reality a composite race IN
stead of being, as used to be thought
Of mongoloid origin.

80 it is with the French world o.
