CURVES AND GRADES.
They Are Becoming important Owing
to Increase of Automobile Traffic


to Increase of Automobile Traffic.
Until recently the location of high,
ways has been governed more by
grade than by alignment For obvious
reasons horse drawn vehicles demand
ed easy grades. but were little affected
by sharp curves. Consequently roads
were SO laid out as to meet this re-
quirement. being made to wind around
hills and follow tortuous water
courses with little attempt to provide
curves of long radii. The result is a
highway system which, except in level
well adapted to the needs of wagon
traffic, picturesque and pleasing, but
unsuited to the requirements of
traffic composed of heavy motor driven
vehicles travelling mt high speed.
Safety is a factor that hitherto has
entered into the work of road build
ing to only a very limited extent, but
which is constantly assuming more i'm
pOrtance. The rapidly increasing use
of motor vehicles places this new re-
spOnSibiity on the roadmaker, and
the building of new roads with longer
curves and the realignment of Old
roads will do much toward reducing
the dangers attendant upon the new
modes Of transportation
The existence of curve generally.
though not necessarily. prcsupp"Ses
the presence on the inner side OF some
obstruction shutting of the view OF
the roadway ahead from vehicle
travelling around it, Curves having
radii of 1000 feet or less are Of com
mon occurrence in such places. and a
width of thirty feet in the clear is as
great as that found on many country
roads. On such a curve the driver
of an automobile running in the mid
die OF the road can see an approach
ing car. also in the middle of the
road. only about $50 feet ahead At
thirty miles an hour a little less than
nine seconds are required TO traverse
this distance. and If each car were
running at that speed only little over
four seconds would eiapse between
the instant when they came III sight
Of each other and their meeting Many
considerations prohibit the establish
mcnt of an arbitrary minimum radius
for highway curves. but careful
study Of prevailing conditions shows
clearly that more attention will have
to be paid to this phase of road build
ing in the future than has been az
corded to it in the past Roads must
be economical. they must be durable.
and they must satisfy the conditions
that experience has imposed upon
them. but they must be safe.

How to Save Property and Escape
From a Burning BUILDING.


Ones ability to extinguish starting
fire or to escape if caught in burn

thrown on by handfuls or with a
broom than if dashed on at once A
