Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a silver halide color photographic light sensitive material high in sensitive speed, excellent in gradation characteristics and improved on sharpness. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, a light sensitive material high in light-sensitive speed (hereinafter referred as speed) and suitable for a rapid process has been demanded as silver halide photographic light sensitive materials have been popularized, and the improvements of the finished qualities thereof have also been still demanded. In the rapid processes, it has been well-known that silver halide emulsions each containing the silver halide grains substantially comprising AgCl can be developed at a high development speed. When the silver halide emulsions are of the monodispersion type, the effects can more be displayed. However, it has also been known in the art that raising in the monodispersibility of silver halide grains causes deterioration in a gradation reproducibility in a shadow portion of images. For the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problem, Japanese Patent Open to Public Inspection (herinafter referred to as 'JP OPI Publication') Nos. 62-5234(1987), 52-172348(1987), 59-148049(1984), 63-71838(1988) and 1-101542(1989), for example, disclose each the silver halide emulsions improved by mixing silver halide emulsions whose sensitive speeds are made different from each other by varying the grain sizes, crystal habits and compositions of the silver halide grains thereof. In these method, however, the sharpness that is essential as one of the image characteristics is deteriorated, though the gradation reproducibility may be improved. As for a method for enhancing the sharpness, on the other hand, it has been known to make use of an anti-irradiation dye. It is, however, not desirable to use it, because speed is lowered and a residual color stain is produced. JP OPI Publication No. 2-28640(1990) disclosed that sharpness can be somewhat improved when a silver halide emulsion is coated on a support comprising a substrate made of a paper sheet coated thereon with a polyolefin resin layer containing 13 wt% of a white pigment. However, the emulsion have had no effect at all on the shadow expression property from the viewpoint of the gradation reproducibility. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the invention to provide a silver halide photographic light sensitive material capable of solving the above mentioned problems of the conventional techniques, which is high speed, excellence in both gradation reproducibility and and sharpness and, in addition, suitability for rapid processing. According to the present invention there is provided a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material comprising a paper substrate which has polyolefin resin layers on both sides thereof and a silver halide emulsion layer provided on one of said polyolefin layers, characterized in that said polyolefin layer on which said silver halide emulsion layer to be provided contains white pigment particles in an amount of not less than 13 weight percent of a polyolefin resin contained in said polyolefin layer, and the surface of said polyolefin layer on which said silver halide emulsion layer to be provided has a di-dimensional arithmetical mean deviation of the profile, SRa, of not larger than 0.14 micrometres, said SRa is calculated by the following Equation I, said silver halide layer is formed by a mixture of two or more kinds of monodispersed silver halide emulsions, each of the emulsions to be mixed comprises silver chlorobromide grains containing not less than 95 mole percent of silver chloride and the speed difference between the relatively highest speed emulsion and that of the relatively lowest speed emulsion is 0.05 to 0.6 in terms of log E between the exposure amount necessary for forming an image having a density of 0.8 for each emulsion; wherein Lx is the length of measuring area of specimen in X-axis direction and Ly is the length of measuring area of specimen in Y-axis direction and S M is the measuring area of specimen. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The substrates used in the invention are comprised of paper sheets may be selected from the raw materials generally applicable to photographic print paper. For example, they include a natural pulp, a synthetic pulp, a natural and synthetic pulp mixture and, besides, a variety of the raw materials for combination paper sheets. Generally, a natural pulp mainly comprising a broad-leaved tree, a coniferous tree or the mixtures thereof may be used for. The surfaces of the above-mentioned pulp may also be subjected to sizing treatment with a layer-forming polymer such as gelatin, starch, carboxylmethyl cellulose, polyacrylamide, polyvinyl alcohol and a modified polyvinyl alcohol. The above-mentioned modified polyvinyl alcohol applicable thereto include a polyvinyl alcohol modified with carboxyl group or silanol, and a copolymer with an acrylamide. When a surface sizing-treatment is carried out with the above-mentioned layer-forming polymers, the layer-forming polymer is so controlled as to be coated in an amount within the range of 0.1 to 5.0 g/m 2 and, preferably, 0.5 to 2.0 g/m 2 . In this case, it is also allowed to add; if required, an antistatic agent, a fluorescent whitening agent, a pigment and a defoaming agent to the layer-forming polymers. The foregoing substrates are produced in the manner that a sheet of paper is made of the above-mentioned pulp and, if required, a pulp slurry containing additives such as a salt, a sizing agent, a paper-strength reinforcing agent and a fixing agent, by making use of a paper-making machine such as a fourdrinier paper-making machine and the resulting paper is dried and is then taken up. The above-mentioned surface size treatment is carried out either before or after the drying and a calendering is carried out between the time after completing the drying and the time of taking up the resulting substrate. When the surface size treatment is carried out after the drying, the calendering may be carried out either before or after carrying out the surface size treatment. Polyolefin resin layers are provided on both side of thus obtained substrate. The white pigments applicable to the invention include inorganic and/or organic white pigments and, among them, inorganic white pigments are preferred. The inorganic white pigments include, for example, alkali earth metal sulfates such as barium sulfate; alkali earth metal carbonates such as calcium carbonate; finely powdered silicic acid, silica of a synthetic silicate, calcium silicate, alumina, an alumina hydrate, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, talc and clay. Among them, barium sulfate, calcium carbonate and titanium oxide are desirable and, barium sulfate and titanium oxide are preferable. Such a titanium oxides may be of the rutile type and the anatase type either. For this purpose, it is also allowed to use those coated on the surfaces thereof with a metal oxide such as hydrated alumina oxide or a hydrated ferrite. The white pigments of the invention are added into the polyolefin-resin layer on the side of substrate on which an emulsion layer to be coated. The white pigments may be contained therein in a content of not less than 13% by weight and, preferably, within the range of 13 to 50% by weight of the resin contained in this layer. It would be better to disperse the white pigments densely and uniformly in the polyolefin-resin layer. The polyolefin-resins applicable to the invention may be selected from α-olefin homopolymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene and the mixtures of the independent polymers thereof. Among them, those preferably applicable thereto include, particularly, a low-density polyethylene, a high-density polyethylene and the mixtures thereof. There is no special limitation to the molecular weights of the polyolefin-resins. However, the molecular weight thereof may generally be within the range of 20000 to 200000. The thickness of the resin layer is to be within the range of 5 to 200 µm and, preferably, 30 to 100 µm. Usually, the resin is mixedly kneaded with a white pigment by a melt-mixing process and is laminated on a raw paper through a melt-extruder. It is allowed to use an unsaturated organic compound having one or more polymerizable double bond of carbon-carbon including a methacrylate type compound such as those described in Japanese Patent Publication Open to Public Inspection (hereinafter referred to as JP OPI Publication) Nos. 57-27257(1982), 57-49946(1982) and 62-262738(1986), and the tetraacrylates represented by the formula given in JP OPI Publication No. 61-262738(1986). In the above-mentioned case, it is coated on a substrate and is then cured by irradiating electron beam thereto, so that a polyolefin-resin layer may be prepared. The white pigments and so forth are dispersed in the above-mentioned unsaturated organic compounds. It is also allowed to disperse them upon mixing them with other resins. The methods of coating a polyolefin-resin layer used in the invention include, for example; the lamination method described in The Research Society of Processing Technology, " A Handbook of New Lamination Processes"; a dry-lamination method; and a non-solvent type dry-lamination method. The methods of coating them may be selected from those of the gravure-roll type, the wire-bar type, the doctor-blade type, the reverse-roll type, the dipping type, the air-knife type, the calender type and the kiss type. The di-dimensional arithmetical mean deviation of the profile of the surface of a substrate covered by a polyolefin-resin layer is measured three-dimensionally by a stylus-tracing type surface-roughness form measurement equipment. A subject test surface region having area S M is picked out of the curved rough surface obtained thereby and the subject test surface region is placed on the center of the curved rough surface. When rectangular coordinate axes X and Y are set on the surface center of the picked out subject test surface region and an axis intersecting perpendicularly to the center of the surface is named Z and, further, the curved rough surface is represented by Z=f(x,y), it was proved that the di-dimensional arithmetical mean deviation of the profile of the surface (SRa) is less than 0.14 µm the more it becomes preferable. wherein Lx represents a length in the X axis direction of a subject test surface region; Ly represents a length in the Y axis direction of the subject test surface region; and S M represents an area of the subject test surface region. The above-mentioned measurement method was carried out in accordance with JIS-B0601 specified for the measurements of a two-dimensional place, provided the JIS-B0601 was applied to three-dimensional spaces. The measurement equipments applicable to the analyses include, for example, the stylus-tracing type surface roughness analyzer Model SE-30H manufactured by Kosaka Laboratories. The most essential point for the measurement method is to specify the area of a subject test surface region. It is, therefore, preferred to take an area enclosed with 5 mm of the length in the X axis direction and 1 mm of the length in the Y axis direction so that a cut-off value to be 0.8 mm. When taking the area of such a subject test surface region as mentioned above, the area thereof can be corresponded to a di-dimentional arithmetical mean deviation of the profile of surface (SRa) a sharpness. When an SRa is larger than 0.14 µm, the sharpness cannot be allowable. Therefore, an SRa value is the smaller, the better. Particularly, an SRa value is most desirable when it is within the range of 0.05 to 0.14 µm. The processes of producing a polyolefin-resin coated photographic support used in the invention having a di-dimensional arithmetical mean deviation of the profile of surface (SRa) of not larger than 0.14 µm can be performed by adopting the following production processes, independently or in combination, in both of producing a base paper for paper substrates and processing a polyolefin coated layer. However, there shall not be any limitation thereto. In producing a base paper for paper substrates, (1) In the composition of a pulp applicable thereto, not more than 40% of the pulp of needle-leaved tree and not less than 60% of the pulp of broad-leaved tree are to be compounded. The resulting pulp is to be smashed to pieces until showing a Canadian standard freeness within the range of 200 to 300 ml in the total.amount; (2) The flow rate of a paper material in an inlet is so controlled as to be within the range of 0.10 to 0.35 m/sec; and (3) The linear pressure of a wet-press is so controlled as to be within the range of 20 to 80 kg/cm, and the linear pressure of a presure rolls interposed in a dryer is so controlled as to be within the range of 30 to 100 kg/cm in the conditions of not lower than 35% of the moisture content of a wet paper sheet. In the process of coating a polyolefin-resin layer, a cooling rolls and a pressure roll are applied with a nip pressure of a high linear pressure within the range of 20 to 45 kg/cm and the polyolefin-resin coated layer is so controlled as to have a thickness within the range of 10 to 40 µm. Each of the silver halide emulsion applicable to at least one layer of light-sensitive material of the invention comprised silver chlorobromide grains having a silver chloride content of not less than 90 mol%, desirably, not less than 95 mol% and, preferably, not less than 99 mol%. There is no special limitation to the methods of preparing the monodisperse type silver halide emulsions applicable to the invention, which are each different in sensitive speeds. For example, it is allowed to mix two or more kinds of monodisperse type silver halide emulsions each different in the average grains sizes together. In the mixture of the two or more kinds of monodisperse type silver halide emulsions, the sensitive speed difference between a relatively highest speed emulsion and a relatively lowest speed emulsion is to be within the range of 0.05 to 0.6 and, preferably, 0.1 to 0.5 in the logarithm of difference of the exposure amounts necessary for forming images having a density of 0.8 for each of the emulsions, respectively. The speed of each emulsion is measured with a sample having a single layer of the emulsion on a support. There is no special limitation to the mixing ratios thereof. The grain sizes distribution of the silver halide emulsion relating to the invention preferably has a variation coefficient of not more than 0.22 and, particularly, not more than 0.15. Herein the term, 'a variation coefficient', means a coefficient indicating the broadness of a grain size distribution and is represented by (the standard deviation of a grain size distribution / an average grain size). Any desired configurations of the silver halide grains relating to the invention can be used. One of the preferable examples of the configurations is a cube having (100) planes as the crystal faces of the cube. In the processes described in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,183,756 and 4,225,666 and JP OPI Publication No. 55-26589(1980), JP Examined Publication No. 55-42737(1980) and The Journal of Photographic Science (J. Pho. Sci.), 21 , 39, (1973), grains having a cubic, tetradecahedral or dodecahedral configuration can be prepared and then used. It is also allowed to use the grains having twinned crystal faces or irregular configurations. In the invention, the silver halide grains relating to the invention, which have a silver chloride content of not less than 90 mol%, such as silver chlorobromide grains, preferably can be chemically sensitized by making use of a sulfur sensitizer and a gold sensitizer. Any known sulfur sensitizers may be applied thereto. For example, the sulfur sensitizers applicable thereto include a thiosulfate, an allylthiocarbamido thiourea, an allylisothiocyanate, cystine, a p-toluenethiosulfonate and rhodanine.

The sulfur sensitizer mentioned above may be added in such an amount as is capable of sensitizing silver halides and there is no special limitation thereto. However, as the rough standard in the case of sodium thiosulfate for example, it may be contained in an amount within the range of, desirably, 1x10 -7 to 1x10 -5 mols and, preferably, 2x10 -6 to 8x10 -6 mols per mol of silver halide used.

As for the binders applicable to the silver halide photographic light sensitive materials of the invention, gelatin may preferably be used. Gelatin commonly applicable to the photographic industry include, for example, an alkali-treated gelatin which is treated, in the course of preparing it from collagen, with lime or the like and an acid-treated gelatin which is treated, in the above-mentioned course, with hydrochloric acid. They are usually made of cattle bone, cattle hide, pig hide or the like as the raw material thereof. The details of the preparing processes and characteristics of the above-mentioned gelatin may be referred to, for example, Arthur Veis, 'The Macromolecular Chemistry of Gelatin', Academic Press, pp.187∼217, (1964); T.H. James, 'The Theory of the Photographic Process', 4th Ed., 1977, Macmillan, p.55; 'A Handbook of Scientific Photography', Vol.1, Maruzen Book Store, pp.72∼75; and 'The Fundamentals of Photographic Engineering - Silver Salt Photographic Edition', Corona Co., pp.119∼124. The gelatin applicable to the light sensitive materials of the invention may be a lime-treated gelatin or an acid-treated gelatin. They may be prepared of any one of cattle bone, cattle hide and pig hide as the raw materials thereof and, among these gelatin, the lime-treated gelatin prepared of cattle bone as the raw material thereof are preferred. In the light sensitive materials of the invention, the photographic emulsion layers and other hydrophilic colloidal layers thereof can be hardened by cross-linking the molecules of a binder or a protective colloid and then by making either independent or combination use of hardeners capable of increasing a layer hardness. The hardener is desirably added in such an amount as is capable of hardening a light sensitive material to the extent that no hardener is needed to be added into any processing solutions. It is, however, allowed to add them into the processing solutions. In the light sensitive materials of the invention, a UV absorbent may also be contained in the hydrophilic colloidal layers thereof such as a protective layer and an interlayer, for the purposes of preventing the light sensitive materials from any fog produced by an electric discharge from the frictionally charged light sensitive materials and from a deterioration caused by the UV rays of an image. The light sensitive materials of the invention can be provided thereon with an auxiliary layer such as a filter layer, an antihalation layer and/or an anti-irradiation layer. In these layers and/or emulsion layers, it is also allowed to contain other dyes than the dyes of the invention, which flowed from a color light sensitive material or is bleached in the course of developing a light sensitive material. In the light sensitive materials of the invention, a matting agent can be added into the silver halide emulsion layers and/or the other hydrophilic colloidal layers thereof, for the purposes of reducing the gloss, enhancing the retouchability and preventing the stickiness each of the light sensitive material. A lubricant can be added to the light sensitive materials of the invention, for the purpose of reducing a sliding friction. An antistatic agent can be added to the light sensitive materials of the invention, for the purpose of preventing an electrostaticity. The antistatic agent may sometimes be added to an antistatic layer provided onto the side of a support on which no emulsion is coated or otherwise it may also be added to an emulsion layer and/or other protective layers than the emulsion layer provided onto the side of the support on which the emulsion layer is coated. In the light sensitive materials of the invention, a variety of surfactants may be added to the photographic emulsion layers and/or the hydrophilic colloidal layers thereof, for the purposes of improving the coatability, antistaticity, slidability, emulsification-dispersibility, adhesion-preventability and photographic characteristics such as a development acceleration, layer-hardening and sensitization, of the light sensitive materials. In the light-sensitive material of the invention, an silver halide emulsion layer is coated, directly or through a subbing layer, on the support of the invention. The surface of the support is treated with corona discharge, UV irradiation, or flame, according to necessity before coating of the emulsion layer. The subbing layer is comprised of one or more layer for improving the adhesive property of a support surface, an antistaticity, a dimensional stability, a friction resistance, a hardness, an antihalation property, a frictional property and/or other properties. In coating the silver halide emulsions, thickeners may be used for improving the coatability of the light sensitive materials. As for the methods of coating the light sensitive materials, it is particularly advantageous to use an extrusion coating method and a curtain coating method in which two or more kinds of layers can be coated at the same time. In the processing of the light sensitive materials of the invention, the color developing agents applicable to color developers include, for example, those having been widely known and used in various color photographic processes. The above-mentioned developing agents include, for example, those of the aminophenol type and p-phenylenediamine type. These compounds are generally used in the form of, for example, a hydrochloride or a sulfate, because these forms are more stable than in the free state. Further, these compounds are generally used in a concentration within the range of, desirably, 0.1 to 30 g per liter of a color developer used and, preferably, about 1 g to about 15 g per liter of the color developer used. The aminophenol type developing agents include, for example, o-aminophenol, p-aminophenol, 5-amino-2-oxytoluene, 2-amino-3-oxytoluene and 2-oxy-3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-benzene. The particularly preferable primary aromatic amine type color developing agents include, for example, an N,N-dialkyl-p-phenylenediamine type compound whose alkyl and phenyl groups may be substituted with any desired substituents. The particularly useful compounds among them include, for example, an N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine hydrochloride, an N-methyl-p-phenylenediamine hydrochloride, an N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine hydrochloride, a 2-amino-5-(N-ethyl-N-dodecylamino)-toluene, an N-ethyl-N-β-methanesulfonamidoethyl-3-methyl-4-aminoaniline sulfate, an N-ethyl-N-β-hydroxyethylaminoaniline, a 4-amino-3-methyl-N,N-diethylaniline and a 4-amino-N-(2-methoxyethyl)-N-ethyl-3-methylaniline-p-toluene sulfonate. The color developers applicable to process the light sensitive materials of the invention can be added by the compounds well-known as the components of developers, besides the above-mentioned primary aromatic amine type developing agents. It is also allowed to add any desired compounds including, for example, an alkali such as sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, an alkali-metal sulfite, an alkali-metal bisulfite, an alkali-metal thiocyanate, an alkali-metal halide, benzyl alcohol, a water softener and a thickener. The pH values of the above-mentioned color developers are usually not lower than 7 and, most usually, within the range of about 10 to 13. The color developing temperature is usually not lower than 15°C and, generally, within the range of 20°C to 50°C. For carrying out a rapid development, it is preferable to carry out the development at a temperature of not lower than 30°C. The developing time is generally within the range of, desirably, 20 seconds to 60 seconds and, preferably, 30 seconds to 50 seconds. The light sensitive materials of the invention may contain a color developing agent as it is or as the precursor thereof in the hydrophiic colloidal layers thereof, and the light sensitive materials can then be processes in an alkaline activation bath. The color developing agent precursors are the compounds each capable of producing a color developing agent under alkaline conditions. These precursors include, for example, a Schiff base type precursor with an aromatic aldehyde derivative, a polyvalent metal-ion complex precursor, a phthalimide derivative precursor, a phosphoramide derivative precursor, a sugar-amine reaction product precursor and a urethane type precursor. These aromatic primary amine color developing agent precursors are detailed in, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 3,342,599, 2,507,114, 2,695,234 and 3,719,492; British Patent No. 803,783; JP OPI Publication Nos. 53-185628(1978) and 54-79035(1979); and Research Disclosure Nos. 15159, 12146 and 13924. The aromatic primary amine color developing agents or the precursors thereof are so required as to be added in such an amount as is enough to develop a satisfactory color when carrying out an activation treatment. The amounts of them to be added are considerably varied depending on the kinds of the subject light sensitive materials. However, they are usually used in an amount within the range of 1 mol to 5 mols and, preferably, 0.5 mols to 3 mols per mol of a silver halide used. The aromatic primary amine color developing agents or the precursors thereof may be used independently or in combination. They can be incorporated in a light sensitive material by dissolving them in a suitable solvent such as water, methanol, ethanol and acetone. They can also be added by incorporating them in the form of an dispersion thereof prepared by making use of a high boiling organic solvent such as dibutyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate and tricresyl phosphate. They can further be added by impregnating them in a latex polymer such as those described in Research Disclosure No. 14850. After the light sensitive materials of the invention are color-developed, they are treated in a bleaching treatment and a fixing treatment. The bleaching and fixing treatments are allowed to carry out at the same time. The bleaching agents include a variety of compounds. Among them, a polyvalent metal compounds such as iron (III), cobalt (III) and cobalt (II) can be suitably used for. In particular, the complex salts of these polyvalent metal cations and an organic acid can be used independently or in suitable combination and they include, for example; complex salts with aminopolycarboxylic acids such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid and N-hydroxyethyl ethylenediaminediacetic acid, malonic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, diglycolic acid and dithioglycolic acid; and ferricyanate and dichromate of the metal. They may be used independently or in suitable combination. The fixers applicable thereto include, for example, a soluble complexer capable of making silver halide soluble in the form of a complex salt. The soluble complexers include, for example, sodium thiosulfate, ammonium thiosulfate, potassium thiocyanate, thiourea and thioether. After completing a fixing treatment, a washing treatment is usually carried out. A stabilizing treatment may be carried out in place of the washing treatment, or both of the treatments may also be carried out together at the same time. The stabilizers applicable to the stabilizing treatment are allowed to contain a pH controller, a chelating agent and/or an antimold. The detailed requirements thereof can be referred to JP OPI Publication No. 58-134636(1983).

The resulting sensitive speeds thereof were expressed in terms of the reciprocals of the exposure quantity necessary to obtain a reflection density of 0.8, and the samples were evaluated according to the relative values of the speeds. The gradations thereof were expressed in the terms of the gradient of the line conecting the points of the reflection densities from 0.8 to 1.8 on the characteristic curve. A higher value of the gradient corresponds to higher contrast of image which causes degradation in the reproducibility of shadow gradation in the image. The sharpnesses thereof were evaluated in terms of the values determined by the following equation in the manner that each of the samples was exposed to blue light through a resolving power test chart and the densities of each color-image were measured by a microphotometer. Sharpness (%) (A maximum density - a minimum density) of 1 contact printed image of 3 lines/mm (A maximum density - a minimum density) of a large area × 100 It is indicated that the larger the values obtained from the above-given equation, the more the sharpness is excellent.
