More than 600,000 new homes, besides square miles of flats, have been built in recent years to house people taken from slums, crowded sections, and from areas cleared for parks, factories, or new streets. Historic Metropole hotel served d waiters its last summer. closed its doors forever. Meanwhile the famous Adelphi terrace was torn down, even as Hotel Cecil melted into scrap. As ancient city landmarks fade, queer modernistic structures, bewildering to Londoners returning after long absence, rise in their place. Look at that big cube of metal and glistening black glass which holds Lord Beaverbrooks Daily Express in Fleet street; or the classic stone temple of the British Broadcasting corporation. house on the Or at Shell-Me- x Strand, Bush house in Aldwych, and all the monster new piles raised here as official headquarters by Canada, Australia, South Africa, and other members of the British Commonwealth whose show windows display the products of these y lands. They seem unreal, out of place, in this Sad-face- far-awa- long-stati- c, smoke-staine- d, weather-beate- n old town. Rise of new suburbs is no less astonishing. "Satellite towns, dormitories of 50,000 or more, spring up where yesterday lay green fields and truck gardens. Smoky forms of new factories rim the horizon. City Steadily Spreading Out. Middlesex county, men say, will soon be wholly urban. Steadily the city unfolds down through Surrey. Southeast towards the hop fields of Kent "ribbon towns sprawl beside the highways; in Essex and Hertfordshire "the scaffold poles of the builder are like wands that conjure new towns out of the ground. Drawn by this boom, industry tends to shift here from the less prosperous north. Workers flock along; each year London adds a young city to its population, and each day 100,000 visitors pass through its streets. In one week, at Regent Palace hotel, 40 different nationalities filled out the police form. Yet you see few idle men. Munition works run day and night; 40,000,000 gas masks are being made even every child is to have one; flying field schools turn out more and more pilots. To learn how London, growing so fast, handles its passengers, go to "London Transport headquarters, a system which hauls a crowd each year equal to twice all the tabulated along prehistoric logs, roads. But the Underground, a triumph of mechanization, is uncompromisingly of today. The automatic and change-givin- g maticket-ven- ding chines, the escalators, car doors, and the the automatic signaling which enables trains an hour to forty eight-ca- r travel on some lines these wonders cannot be taken for granted, even if they are mechanical. Only by keen study of human nature can the Underground carry its Con1,750,000 passengers a day. sider the escalators. If people walk or run up an escalator instead of standing still, its capacity rises by as much as 40 per cent. Therefore each escalator is run at a speed designed to keep people walking. The 137 moving stairways used here travel more than 2,500 miles a ugh to form a narrow bridge full of people stretching almost across the Atlantic! Ticket-sellin- g machines present another problem in psychology. The extent to which they are used depends upon their situation; a remoteness of a few feet may discourage purchasers. In a year the Underground sells 350 tons of tickits ets! And on busy week-end- s riders spend thirty tons of copper and ten tons of silver. "What about the future? a visitor asked the guiding genius of the "London Transport board. Apart from new lines, signaling will be improved and platforms will be lengthened so that in time probably all lines may carry forty eight-ca- r trains an hour during peak periods. We now use the Metadyne system of control, which enables faster and smoother acceleration and better braking. We have also reduced noises in the tubes. Some 1,200 Diesel-drive- n buses are in service and eventually all will be of that type. Hyde Park Orators. Go out to Hyde Park Sunday morning and hear the soapbox orators. An old man had been speaking there, on the League of Nations, so often that hecklers knew his sentences by heart; whenever he began a line, theyd say it with him, like church responses, in owlish solemnity! But police arrest hecklers who get abusive.
