NEW YORK. November 12.-The
new $iS,00O.000 Holland tunnel - II
submarine boulevard linking New
York and Jersey City under the liud-
son--was formally opened today with
elaborate ceremonies on both sides OF
the river
At telegraphcd signal from Presl-
dent Coolidge. flags draped across the
tube openings were dropped and seven
wears of labor had ended. Thousands
who had gathered for the ceremonies
in Jersey City trooped through the
big tubes. preceded by the WIDOWS OF
two engineers who died before their
work on the tunnel was completed
NOtables Take Part.
At one minute after midnight to-
night the tunnel will be opened III

realization of the dreams OF Ciiitord H.
Holland. it's designer. who died IN
1928.
Gov. Smith of New York, Gov.
Moore of New Jersey. several MEM
hers of Congress and 1870 mayors took
part in the program at the Jersey
CITY terminus. Mayor Walker ana
officials of the Tunnel Commission
conducted ceremonies on the New
York side.
A note of reverence marked the
speechcs for Mr.. Holland. Milton IL.
Freeman. his successor. who died -four
months after taking over the work,
and the II workman killed while the
tubes were under construction.
Tube Well Ventilated.
New Yorll's Representatives had
passed through the tunnel To Jersey
City after a luncheon here. At the
halfway mark silken cord marking
the interstate boundary was cut by
Anna Boyle Egner, granddaug of
John +. Boyle, member of the New
Jersey Tunnel Commission, who also
officially dedicated the Camden-Phila-
delphia Bridge across the Delaware.
Provided with 20-foot roadways. the
twin tubes, $3.50 feet long. have an
estimated capacity of $500 vehicles
hourly and $4,000 900 vehicles n year.
A toll system. which charges rates
ranging from 90 cents for Il motor
cycle to SO for a heavy motor truck, is
expected to provide revenue that will
pay costs of construction in 10 years,
although the estimated period was 20
years.
A change of air 40 times an hour,
the engineers claim. will provide an
atmosphere in the tunnels even purer
than that breathed in city streets.
The ventilation system is regarded as
one of the greatest engineering tri-
umphs Of the entire project.

Question Raised by Police.
The question whether the railway

Capt. Maurice Collins of the Seventh
precinct explaining that the proprie.
tors of the terminal concessions had
failed to procure "A license from the

have to apply to the District for police
protection.
"An opinion has been requested

We have lost the unity of print

our fiction; man has become an ami

But in Homer's day life was &C.

aalso dictated by the action; through
his Incompatible hexameter the
story runs on like some broad and
majestic stream; SO that those who
are prepared to understand the my
thology of the gods and the
genealogy Of the heroes are caught

Almost at the outset Homer re-

that a great army should go so
far to fight ten years for even as
fair lady as Helen.
What If the Trojan Paris, hand
some to the point of worthlessness
had stolen the wife of Menelaus,
surly brother of King Agamemnon?
Suddenly amid the hustle of the
camp, sounds the voice of the COM

against war. Homer ridicules him
mercilessly:-
