They would be located in portions of the city where substantial increases in population are expected. Harrington said the $267,000,000 program would involve a cost of about $72 per capita to residents of Chicago. This compares with $75 per capita for subways in Philadelphia, and $133 per capita in New York, the report showed. The cost estimates include station finish and escalators but exclude cars and other equipment and connections with the elevated structures.

LEVITY LEVELS By CALEB WHAT, so many good souls forget, in pointing with pride to the rising general intelligence of society, on the one hand, and viewing with alarm the falling general diversions of society, on the other, is that any vertical cross-section of a community, today, is bound to reveal every gradation from the sublime to the ridiculous. Bound to because such has been the composition of whatever community called itself civilized, since the world began. Even levityas opposed to gravity, in human interests and affairs has four dis-cernibly different levels, a discussion of which appeared, some years ago, in an interesting book, The Art of Reading, from the pen of Prof. Robert Rogers of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Recreation the levity side of human behavior he pointed to as possible in a quartette of classifications, beginning with fun, advancing to amusement, manifesting itself on higher ground as pleasure and culminating in the upper Plans for a comprehensive 50 mile two track subway system to be built BY HAL FOUST. (Drawings on back page.) A superhighway plan for Chicago, calling for 62 miles of construction at a cost of $267,000,000 were submitted to the city council yesterday by Philip Harrington, commissioner of estimated to cost $205,000,000, was subways and traction. The proposed program, which in cludes the State and Dearborn street made public yesterday by Mayor Edward J. Kelly. Listed as initial construction are 32.3 miles at $110,000,000.

Harrington said completion of the program would bring rapid transit service in the form of elevateds, subways or suburban railroads to within one mile of 92 per cent of the population of Chicago. The elevated-subway-suburban railroad system also would run within one mile of 78 per cent of the city's area. The plans were submitted in compliance with the federal Public Works administration's subway grant agreement made last year. The grant for the subways now being built required the city to submit plans for subway extensions by Nov. 1, 1939.

The council referred yesterday's report to the committee on local transportation and directed that a copy be sent to the PWA. Thereafter, west to the city limits, the pavements at the same width would be depressed on a broad right of way between Congress street and Van Buren street as far west as Central Park avenue, and between Van Buren and Gladys avenue from Central Park to the city limits. Crosses Canal Street at Grade. On the eastern end this express route would cross Canal street at grade, pass thru the eight lane arcade thru the postoffice and cross the river on a new six lane bridge. East of the bridge to Wells street, on a plaza a short block wide bordered by Congress street and Lomax place, the express pavement would be tapped by a pair of two lane ramps to serve traffic en route to and from the central business district via Market street or Franklin street.

From Wells to State street, Congress would be opened and widened for 84 feet of roadway with a center curb. Congress would be paved 60 feet wide by cutting back the curbs from State street to Michigan avenue. Calls Plan Best of Several. Philip Harrington, city traction commissioner, described the plan as intellectual realms as enjoyment. Fun, for example, is pure holiday of the spirit, in which one can revel only as a participator.

Examine your own experiences of fun, and see if this is not so. Having fun, in. reality, is making it something active. Amusement, however, can be, and is, passive: one need not be a participator, but merely a spectator, to be agreeably amused. And neitheF fun nor amusement require any great mental investment a point definitely worth noting.

The moment you leave this halfway-mark, however, and pass into pleasure, intellectual elements are involved the thinking processes employ themselves, even though quite without awareness as when you reflect on a good turn rendered someone, a good piece of work accomplished, or a bothersome debt liquidated. And enjoyment is finally reached, when one's entire cerebral equipment is called into play as in seeing a piece of fine acting, or a noble picture listening to glorious music rearling a memorable book; or engaging in one of the intimate conversational exchanges implicit in a rare friendship. All of which, quite obviously, has nothing to do with matters of state, great problems, or the concerns of trade. But as food for stimulative thought, this idea of "levity levels" is notice-worthy and may even induce some cf us to inquire from which level we draw most of our own recreation, and which is paying us therefor in largest mental returns on the investment.
