PILAT Gneiss is nice. The workmen and engineers said so. But the murky, busy East River, flowing so many feet above, was also a river. Suppose it found a leak through which to pour some ot its billions of gallons of water into this man-made burrowing below? Section Engineer Nicoll Gilbert answered the question by pointing to a car going by loaded with white bags, which might have been flour but which actually was cement. "We've been dry so far," he said.

"But if the explosions should reveal seams or strike some faulted rock, we'd get a pipe on the leak, to keep it from swamping us, then we'd mix that cement with water and force it at tremendous pressure back into the rock, holding it there until it solidified." Not Worth Grouting Simple enough. But how about that little stream 'of water already trickling from the roof? "That's nothing," salad Nicoll. Not worth grouting." Grouting is the word used to de-scribe the solidifying of rock with cement. We were in the key-point of Brooklyn's new water tunnel, which is expected to be able to bring gallons daily from Hill View Reservoir in Yonkers, on its way from the Esopus and Schoharie watersheds in the Catskills, to i 4t An interior view of Brooklyn's new water tun nel, as it is being driven underneath the East River.

Automobiles had to slow down a trifle to go around the old fountain, and it peeved some of them so that they started a movement to have it carted oft to the Junk heap, or at least put somewhere except in the middle of the square where it had been admired by several generations of Wllliamsburgers.

Attacks Renewed On Big City Budget Before Aldermen Dojle, Allen and Brown Note Extravaganrra anil Pleiul for Reductions' Edward P. Doyle, representing the rteal Board of New York, yesterday afternoon told the finance committee of the Board of Aldermen that the outstanding extravagance of the 1931 city budget was the $49,000,000 item for subway construction. The $620,000,000 budget passed by the Board of Estimate Is now In the hands of the Aldermanle Board, which has the power to duce but not to increase the total.

Within the memory of man it has happened only once that the Aldermen have made use of their prerogative. There Is little probability that any change will be made In the present budget. Small Audience on nnd There was a meager audience at the hearing, not more than a dozen persons having thought it worth hlle to attend. There were three speakers, the same who appeared before the Board of Estimate as critics of the budget Mr. Doyle, Dr.

William II. Allen of the Institute of Public Service and Stewart Browne, president of the United Real Estate Owners Association. Mr. Doyle again Insisted that the short term subway bonds should be exchanged for 50-year bonds, which, he said, would mean a 25 point reduction in the 1931 tax rate. He painted a dark picture of the existing real estate market and held out no hope of Improvement of the situation la the near future.

He advocated the establishment of a committee of high city officials to aid the Budget Director in making up the annual city burttiet, including the Controller, the president of the Department af Taxes and Assess ment.s, the chairman of the Aider-manic finance committee and the preside nt of the Civil Service Com-mission. Allen's Suscestion Dr. Allen polnte out how the budget total could be cut at leait $5,000,000 by taking out the appro, prlatlon for the Sinking Fund. "That." he said, "can be done without touching any other item In the budget." Mr. Brow ne made running comment on the principal budget Items.

He wanted know why the elty needed a $12000-a-year blll-draftm) commissioner, "making eBch bill Introduced In the Municipal Assembly cost txUeen $400 and $300."

Nov. 18 Fifty cases of food poisoning in northern New Jersey municipalities due to eating chocolate eclairs and cream puffs today caused the State Department of Health to point out an increase in such cases in recent months. Local health authorities are attempting to solve the cause of such outbreaks, the symptoms of which Include vomiting, dysentery, rising temperature and sometimes subnormal temperature. Local authorities reported to the State that the filler of the delicacies is composed principally of cornstarch and eggs.

Examination of samples has shown a high bacterial content of various kinds, due to it being left standing too long. The bacterial growth in the filler produces a toxin which has caused illness. E. Van Etten, Former Rail Executive, Is Dead Sacramento. Nov.

We are a democratic country, which means that we are all Just as exclusive as anybody else.

It wouldn't be very long before our best ste nigraphers, our clerks, our run-of-the-mill citizens and cltbenerva would be wearing $32.50 doublet and hosen and 84.98 If an average new outfit cost only 100 (sure ly a small estimate), there would be for our 120,000.000 population, put into circulation. An amount like that alone, it I know my statistics, should put us well on the upgrade. But that needn't be all. There's no reason, for example, why Society couldn't follow up this first victory by giving up golf and substituting jousu on norseDack a la the Mid die Ages. I don't know how many million golfers there are, but almost that many would soon be Jousters boasting of their ability to throw Sir Opponent in par 72 strokes of the spear.

A game like that would require a lot of horses. thus helping the farmers, and a lot of steel armor, thus helping the steel industry. The Increased em ployment all around would be tre mendous.

and Hick; Street First had come a descent In a tiny cage, S45 feet straight down past walls of solid rock, until we were at the bottom of a shaft which had taken 11 months to sink. Having been in the water tunnel shaft at Hamilton Ave, which was circular in shape, and having heard that all such shafts were circular, the visitor asked why this one was elliptical. Unwatering Point "The reason for the funny shape is that this is the low point and the unwatering point of the entiro tunnel," said Engineer Claude Thomas, one of the party going below. "This shaft is 10 feet lower than shaft 8A, at Steinway St. and Astoria and 10 feet below shaft 10A, which is directly across the river in the Bronx.

It is made lower, so that the entire tunnel can be emptied here, in case of emer-. gency which would require inspection or repair at any given point. From Engineer Herman Goldberg In the Manhattan office of the Board of Water Supply it was later learnea that the unwatering pipe and its machinery will be able to empty the entire tunnel of approximately gallons ot water in less than two weeks, the water going from the entrance to shaft 9A by means of a three-foot concrete sewer drain extending 500 feet out into the river. After viewing the subterranean storage vault for dynamite, located near the base of the shaft and containing more than 1,000 sticks of explosive, the party moved on foot along the bottom of the tunnel, which was laid with tracks carrying rock from the working head of the tunnel, some 2,000 feet farther on. There was only a little water on the tunnel floor, and the hip boots and rubber coats and hats of the men hardly seemed necessary.

"This is exceptionally dry for a tunnel like this," said Engineer Nicoll, "but fortunately we are going through gneiss. Rock lite gneiss is not faulted, and we don't have to worry so much about being driven out by water each time we blast. However, we keep watching." A platform nearly 20 feet high passed by on the tracts. Tne engineer explained that this was used by men wielding long steel poles to hit the roof of the tunnel after each blast and scale oil segment of rock). which had been loosened and which, if not attended to might later -drop and crush the life out of workmen.

The air in the tunnel was good Nicoll explained that a pipe brought it to the working head of the tunnel and that it forced its own way back to the entrance. No compressed air necessary, he said, because of the protecting strength of the tons of rock above. Recently, up near Pelham, the tunnel connection between shafts 5 A 6 A was driven through and the two burrowings met within three Inches of each other in line and a few hundredths of a foot In eleva tion. This was the first connection driven through between any of the 19 shafts of the tunnel Engineers at shaft 9A said today that in a few months they expect to meet the tunnel being driven from shaft 8A, two miles away and separated from them by a river, with equal accuracy.

Alderman Francis D. MrGarey attended to the necessary legislation and appropriation that kept the landmark at the old stand. it well tinued to talk with a frankness foreign to any other foreign omce. Then a new deal was made, and Giraudoux was "promoted" to a Job In which he had no contact with foreign Journalists. The old know-nothing, say-nothing, think-nothing system came back, and has remained.

While Giraudoux lasted the Foreign Office was one of the best stops on any newspaperman's beat, and It Is very doubtful if the young diplomat's frankness and humor ever did the country any harm. Diplomats merely Imagine that frankness Is dangerous. In competent hands It is perfectly sale. Perhaps one of the reasons that the playwrluht diplomat seems to worry so little about his future is that he knows that It will not be a long one. He Is one of the alarmingly large number of young mm In continental countries who Interiors were ravaged by gas during the war.

They know that their mortality rate Is three or four times as high as that of the ungassed and that not many more winters will pass before they will all be gone.

Dun nlnger was urged to accept, al though I stated that I would not consider this test a substitute for the scientific tests had planned on neutral ground. He withdrew his objection and agreed to duplicate Decker's performance in the rooms. On conveying this acceptance to Decker I was informed by Decker that he would not produce any phenomena that Dunninger was supposed to duplicate, but that he would be expected to duplicate the phenomena I described.

Fears for Job I told Decker this was unreasonable and that he could offer no valid obection to producing phenomena for Dunninger to duplicate. He stated that his permission to meet Dunninger only went this far, and any change from that plan would cause him to lose his job. When I communicated with Dunninger and told him the test was off, and stated Decker's reason, fear for his job, Dunninger stated that he woilld eliminate that objection by buying Decker's contract with the Spiritual and Ethical Society and paying Decker the salary due on the balance of the contract with a certified check for the lump sum If Decker would alt for the scientific test to be held as quickly as it could be arranged.

I described an experience.

I offered no explan ation. I stated it was worthy ot tne highest type of scientific research. I have nothing to add or subtract from that statement. Joseph Dunninger. the well- known magitlon with a reputa tion for eyposing fake mediums, stated I was mistaken In the ob servations I made in the dark dur ing the seance.

The statement is entirely relevent and should be taken seriously, coming as it docs from a man with wide experience as a professional deceiver of the senses. Dunninger is a showman, and anything he tackles he goes at "hammer and tongs." Under his exuberant enthusiasms I believe there is a fundamental sincerity and honesty of purpose. These exact words could be used to describe Decker, the medium. In the first heated clash Decker said he would meet Dunninger anywhere, and defied him to duplicate his phenomena. Before word could be gotten to Decker he learned from his employers, the Spiritual and Ethical Society, that he spoke Police End Westward Trek of Coy Runaways Kingston, Nov.

"Shaw, with heart," he has been called. There is certainly much of the biting wit of Shaw in Giraudoux's conversation.

There Is also much of the gentle whimsicality of Barrle and a disarming frankness that in a high-ranking official in the Foreign Office would usually be dangerous. Every newspaperman who was there will remember the first day Jean Giraudoux met the foreign press to explain French International policy. They were used to the hush-husn type of informant who pretends to know very little and to have no opinions whatever on what he knows. Giraudoux. on the contrary, gave a quizzical running comnuntary on half a dozen important International situations with many a sly dig at the policy of his own government as well as of those his government was working against.

It was of course understood that he was not to be revealed as the source of what he was saying; but the easy recklessness with which he laid himself open to betrayal was rather terrifying. Nobody had expected to get any news out of the French Foreign Office, and here was a irpful, and with It a half hour of completely smuslng comment upon It. comment that could not but bring down upoahun the devastating wrath of his superiors if it were ever traced back to him.
