iUBWAY PLAN DOES AWAY WITHCROWDS
London Continually Building
 Them; Crushes Are Few

London. Jan. o2. The city or ondon. instead of talking about subways. builds them. For several years this has been going on, and in consequence there Is seldom q crush. Except for an hour or two in the mornings and again at tho end Of the workday, tho tube trains seldom have any strap hangers. There are seats enough to go around.
 And they arc comfortable seats. Well-stuffcd plush or leather cover most of them. Only the very oldest coaches have. the plain straw seats so common in America. One can. and does, smoke in about half of \ the cars without fouling the air un- duly. For there Is seldom close- packed crowd.
 Fares for the short rides are cheaper than in New York, and for longer rides the cost is higher. In- stead of a standard fare for any distance. the London tubes charge for the length of the ride. Three half-pence is the minimum. but this soon is to be reduced to penny. The cost of ordinary runs usually averages little less than a penny a mile. The omnibuses which, like the tubes, spread out in all direc- tions, charge about the same.
 During the present year the lines of two of the underground rail- ways have been extended far out into suburban territory. London, un- confined by either sea or river, and not caring to grow upward in the American apartment-house manner, is sprawling out in every direction with great rapidity.
 The tubes are helping to create suburbs, already encouraged by steam railway lines from a dozen or more London terminals. Some of the underground lines make a practice of buying outlying property. pushing their rails out to 1t, and then ad- vertising it for sale to home-seek. CTS, who. of course, become habitual patrons of the electric trains.
 But one is beginning to heal complaints that the suburbs they are helping to make are becoming too thick. Only recently it was pro- posed that a green belt of parts forests, golf courses or other oper spaces be established around ths greater city to preserve some of ths amenities of the countryside within easy reach of Londoners.
