Highway Grade Separation

In his illustrated lecture. on “Highway Grade Separations." Mr. Harold W. Giffln. engineer of surveys and plans. State of New Jersey, gave an informative re- sume of the experience, hir- stale with this modern highway development. With traffic gmwth fostered by and constantly keeping ahead of the provision of improved roads, an effort had to be made to anticipate filture expansion and solve its problems 1n advance, and in there solutions highway grade separation had piayed- an import.- lmt part. New Jersey now has more than 125 grade separations, located mostly on a few heavy traffic routes. One roadway runs for nine miles without. trade crossings, this being the Pulaski Skyway from Newark to the Hudson River, pro- Vlflllll? the main approach to fbe Holland Tunnel. At times the state's highway authorities virmd- cred if they had not. been too ex- travagant in providing such facil- ities, but experience bad showed they had underdaslgned rather than overdeslgned, and that their construction had been justified, and their present: scope of pllmnlniz was broader than ever before.

The capacity of n. highway is or- dinarily limited by that. of its in- igersectlons, and n. busy intersection at. grade la reduced to about-forty per cent. of the capacity-of a mac separation. While ilnpoasfblc to es- tlmnte exactly the saying to the

lVirlfrr Maintenance n! Road;

"WintP-r blainteliancc of Roads“ was the silbjcci. of the paper by Mr. C. A. Robbins, rPSldCllL engin- eer of the Ontario department of highwi road bv A. Grafton of u“; Quebec, (iipartment. He. de- scribed at length the methods suc- ccssfillly adopted by Ontario in carrying oui the nci-rpicd policy that. all iii:iiii liigliivalxs. on both Lhc provincial and council F-WlFm-‘i be kept in safe. fravcllable condi- l Lions throughout the ivinter l months. Yearly the programme of i snow removal is ilcing extended to ‘include the more lightly travelled

roads. and the time is not. far dis- tant. when all roads in Ontario will be. kept. open the year round. Th0 standard of maintenance is stead- ily improving, and the various problems presented are being solved satisfactorily: The old idea ‘that. snow removal was liable to

cause serious damage had been l proved a fallacy. Maintenance has

i i

now reached a stage where oom- panies oi- individiials wgking on definite travel schedules can de- pend on safe and open roads all lwlnfcr. Ilnusual snow conditions l Inst, winter had caused brief block- ing of a. few roads. but, learning by experience, the department per- lsonnel ivere confident that. they would not. again be caught. nap- ping by iivcii the heaviest. snowfall.

Mr. Robbins recommended to research engineers the unsolved problem of "scaling" on concrete pavements. He was firmly of the opinion that. it was not. the result of snow removal, though he ad‘- mitted that. sanding operations caused its earlier appearance. He suggested that. the solution o! the problem might. lie in the adjust- ment of the aggregates composing the pavement, aiici lint. in its treat- ment. after being laid.

Tennis Singles

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—l'A.P.)-—'I'hl= Wimbledon champions, Helen Hull Jacobs of the U, S. A. and England's Fred Perry, are, without. doubt, the ones to beat for the Miles in the national singles championships! starting Sept. 3. at the West. Side! Tennis club, Forest Hills, Long Is- land-

Each of them will seek to estab- lish a precedent, with Miss Jacobs attempting to stretch her own re- cord of four ‘straight. U. S". cham-‘ lzioiiships and Perry trying to be- come the first foreigner ever to win

None of the U. S. forces seem able to stop Perry~barrlng amid- cnt, of course, suchas that: which befcli him in the semi-finals at. Forest Hills last. year.

lil that. occasion he suffered n‘ severe back injury in a fall in the seventh game of the first. set; and lost the match to Wilmer Allison of the U. S., who was having one of his good days, and who went. on Lo win the championship over Sidney B. Wood, Jr.

Allison will not defend his title- owing to an injury he brought back from Europe - and he probably wouldn't have been a. serious threat. to Perry, anyway. That lCHWS "Yd- haLrcd Donald Budge as the only American with a bona fide chance to keep Perry from taking the U. S. crown back overseas.

Perry won the American title in 1933 and '34, tying the record for invaders established by Jean Rene Laccste of France, who won in 1926 and '27, with Bill Tllden as his fin- als victim in the latter year.

Perry hasn't been invincible since he recovered from the back injury after a trip toAustralla, but. he has wun this year when it counted most. He lost to Budge in the British- Americlm series in July: was dc- fcnled by Christian Boilssus of ‘ France in the Franco - Brftisb'

Baron Gottfried von Cramm, in the i finals of the French hard courts fmurnanienb.

Bill; the smiling. pipe-smoking Briton beat. Budge, in the semi-fin- als, and Von Cramm, in the finals, as. Wimbledon this year, and won the British hard courts title over Bunny Austin.

Von Cramm was injured and virtually helpless as Perry breemd through a. straight; set. triumph in the all-England finals. The injury thwarted the German's plan to en- ter the U. S. singles.

The tennis people will have their eyes on another young invader. however. He is Bernard Dcsfremeau, 19-year-old member of the French Davis cup team who is looked upon abroad as the one to lead France back to the top.

Watch Kay Summers

The biggest foreign chréat. to Miss Jacobs’ reign is Kay Stam- mcrs, the pretty British southpaw, w-lio has beaten Helen two times straight, in f-he Wlghtman cup singles matches, in. straight sets Lhis year, 12-10 and 6-1.

Miss Jacobs came to the nationals this year as the Wimbledon dimm- plon for the first time in her car- eer. She gained her long-sought. title at the expense of Frau Hilda Krahwinkel Sperm; in the all- mgland finals.

Although Foil-wt Hills fans are distinctly disappointed over Helen Wills Moodys‘ refusal to renew her rivalry with the other Helen from Berkeley, Miss Jacobs will find plenty of opposition in the defence of the title she has held ever since 1931. Mrs. Moody never ha: come back to the national since she de- faulted to her arch-rival while trailing 0-3 in the third set. of the 1933 finals, but. "Queen Helen“ won from Miss Jacobs in last. year's Wimbledon final.
