The commission also called in ex-
perts of the United States Bureau of
Mines, the Public Health Service and
professors of Yale University and the
University of Illinois. ~
In the 1919 report, Chief Engineer
Clifford B. Holland said that tests had
shown that the tunnel could be venti-
lated at Il reasonable cost. A hundred
Of carbon monoxide in the exhausts
ascertained. With Ii dilution of four
parts of carbon in 10000 parts of air,
danger and discomfort were not felt
after an hours exposure.
"The experiments have proved con-
clusvely," the report said, "that the
mechanical ventilation of the Hudson
River tunnel as planned is assured Of
success"
Asked how a bridge in the Twenty
third Street section would fit in with
transit development, Robert Ridgway,
chief engineer of the Transit Commits
sion, replied that bridge does not
lend itself as we'll to rapid transit pur-
PoSta aS ~ tuuilel' AIl proposed transit
developments between Manhattan and
Brooklyn call for tunnels, and the
transit map shows two such sugges-
tions now, both terminating at the
southern extremity of Manhattan.
AS to location, Twenty-third
Street Greenpoint bridge would have
little effect in reducing downtown con-
gestion, it was said There is great
need for facilities that will reach the
central part of Brooklyn, where not
much relief has been afforded by the
various subway spurs and through
lines now existing. This district could
be easily reached by facilities in the
neighborhood of Brooklyn Bridge. 1t
is toward the old structure, which is
to be rebuilt, that many Of the main
avenues now lead.
Bridge Congestion Slows Traffic
"a number of small arteries like
tunnels, distribute traffic better than a
few large ones" one engineer said.
Bridges furnish open-air travel, but
they must draw upon a large territory
to justify their cost. Then, too, there
is always great congestion of traffic
about a bridge entrance. With tun-
nels, openings can be placed black or
half mile apart and prevent this
congestion"

The proposed bridge across the East
River, to cost about $50000,0 900, and
spanning the wide stretch of water be-
tween the Twenty-third Street section
of Manhattan and Greenpoint, Brook
lyn, planned by Commissioner Whalen,

vehicular traffic and obsolete accommo-
dations for rapid transit, in the opin-
ion of construction engineers inter
viewed yesterday.
In this connection, the New York
New Jersey Tunnel Commission issued
statement in which it recalled that
Commissioner Whalen had signed the
reports of the commission of 1919 and
1921, In which the commissions venti-
lating system was indorsed. In recon-
mending the bridge, Mr.. Whalen said
that he believed the question of ventila-
tion was open to doubt until the North
River tunnel had proved successful.
In devising the ventilating method,
which is now undergoing final tests at
the University of Illinois, the commits
sion spent 100000 and investigated
nearly every vehicular tunnel in the

Bedtime Stories
Curiosity Takes Away Peters Appetite
BY Thornton W. Burgess
HIS curiosity is great
That forces appetite to raUait.
Peter Rabbit.

What would happen next to sooty
the Chimney Swift? That is what
Sooty himself wanted to know, but
. he didn't want to know it much more
than did Peter Rabbit. You see, Peter
had seen the accident to Sooty on
the Big River and had watched Sooty
flop, flop, flop straight to shore and
into the hands of Farmer Brown s
Boy. He had watched Farmer Brown s
Boy gently pick Sooty up and start
away across the Green Meadows with
him.
Peter followed for a short distance.
He was curious, was Peter. He want
ed to know what would become of
Sooty. But he didn't dare follow very
far. He felt that it was best to keep
away from Farmer Browns house,
He hadn't forgotten the lesson he had
prisoner after being caught in Farmer
Browns garden.
Nothing bad will happen to
Sooty," said Peter to himself as he
watched Farmer Browns Boy disap-
pear up the Long, Lane. "No, sir,
nothing bad will happen to him. l
guess it is a good thing for him that
Farmer Browns Boy came along when
he did. l wonder what happened
to Sooty anyway. l wonder if he is
hurt. He must be or Farmer Browns
Boy would have set him free. l dom t
see how he came to fall into the Big
River. l hope nothing has happened
so that he cannot fly again. How we
should miss him!"
Ali that night Peter thought about
Sooty and wondered what had become
of him. Before daylight the next
morning he was over in the far cor
ner of the Old Orchard, where from
the safety of the old stone wall he
could see what went on about Farmer
Browns house. He was SO full of
curiosity that he forgot to eat. For
once he actually had no appetite. He
wondered if Sooty would be kept a
prisoner. Somehow he couldn't imag-
inc Sooty the Chimney Swift a pris-
oner. Perhaps Sooty had been sc
hurt that he wouldn't live. Perhaps
he had broken one of those stout lit
tie wings. Peter imagined all sorts
of things. All the time he kept watch
of the big chimney of Farmer Browns
house. He knew that it was in that
chimney that Sooty lived, with Mrs
Sooty.
Shortly after daybreak he saw q
little black form rise from the chin.

was it Mrs. Sooty? Peter couldn't tell

Refuses TO Quash Divorce
Suit Begun by Counties.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 2.-Judge Will
liam H. Forsythe refused to-day to
quash the suit begun two months ago
by Countess Ledochowski, daughter of
the late Governor Edwin Warfield, for
divorce from Count Vladimir Ledo-
chowski. The Countess accused the
Count of unfaithfulness and asked the
court to award her the custody of their
three children as well as permanent
alimony.
Judge Forsythe said he would name
an examiner to take testimony on the
merits of the case and to decide whether
the Countess is resident of Maryland
or Poland.
