caeo Is located, will build Its first ele-
waited rural road intersection. This
structure, to be at the meeting point
of Dempster street and Milwaukee ave-
nue.. will be of untold value over the
week end when pleasure seeking traffic
crowds these roads TO the hilt. Demp-
ster street will pass under Milwaukee
avenue through an arrangement some
what similar to that of the Detroit
separation.
Cost Of Delays.
In estimating the value Of separated
highway intersections, highway authori-
ties have determined that delay Of
one minute costs the passenger car
owner at least cents. This is con-
eidering the year-around overhead OF
the automobile and the operators time.
Since this sum does not include the
cost of the time OF passengers and such
items as gasoline and OIL the 3-cent-a-
minute valuation is conservative. So
two intersecting streets with a daily
traffic volume of $4,000 cars in all four
directions. cost motorists 81 $50 a day,
o. nearly S400. 900 yearly. This is eS:.
mating that half of the cars using the
intersection will be delayed three min
utes.
Here, again. the wisdom Of applying
modern business principles to highway
construction is apparent. None of these
elevated highway intersections Is the
rc.ult Of whimsy on the part Of COM
munity leaders. They w7re planned as
business appliances for the benefit OF
the motoring public, which includes
Just about everybody.

SAFE BRAKE SYSTEM
OPINIONS DIFFER
Yale Professors Discuss Proposed
Uniformity Of State
Laws.

Much difference OF opinion exists as
to what constitutes a safe system of
brakes on motor car Most of the
present State laws we're enacted before
the advent of four wheel brakes and
specify that every automobile shall be
equipped with two sets of brakes which
shall be completely independent. In
some cases the two sets of brakes in
present four wheel braking systems are
not separately applied and hence do not
comply with the strict letter OF the law,
although they increase the safety Of
car operation by shortening the stop
ping distance. reducing the tendency of
the car TO skid and reducing the wear
on the brake lining.
In a paper by Prof. r.. II. Lockwood
and II. w Best of the Sheffield Scien-
tific School at Yale University. which
was presented at the Summer meeting
of the Society OF Automotive Engineers,
the authors quote part OF proposed
uniform brake law recommended by the
Eastern Conference OF Motor Vehicle
Administrators 10 meet present condi-
tons They point out. however, that the
phraseology OF the proposed law Is sus-
ceptible of being interpreted TO mean
that the operating mechanism of the
two sets Of brakes shall be- independent,
the same as the present law.
There was great deal OF discussion
Of the subject at the meeting by State
motor vehicle commissioners and auto
motive engineers. The difficulty OF writ
ing law that would neither be subject
to some miSinterpretation nor restrict
progress In design was pointed out All
we're agreed that safety is paramount.
but there was a diversity OF opinion on
whether four wheel brakes all operated
BY one set OF levers and rods or by
hydraulic means are sufficiently safe.
The State authorities believe that two
systems OF operating the brakes should
be provided, so that II part in one
system fails the other system will re-
main operative. Some Of the engineers
held that properly constructed four
wheel brakes with one operating system
are no more likely to fail than Is the
steering gear. Prof Lockwood suggested
that the whole subject might we'll be
considered by the administrators and
the manufacturers engineers at Joint
conference and a solution arrived AT

Concessions to Cabbies and
Laxity of Police Handl-
cap Chicago Rules.

The radical no-parking experiment In
Chicago's downtown district. after seven
months trial. is becoming settled

culties.
A survey now being made shows that
trucks and bootleg parkers are doing
much to undermine the good accom-
plished in clearing streets of standing
cars. Difficulty of enforcement and ex-
ceptiOns to the no-pari:ing prohibition
open the way to abuses.
During the early stages CT the expert
ment engineers estimated that traffic
was being specded up from 30 10 80
per cent. Then virtually all cars were
kept from curbs.
Since then cab stands have become
more numerous Trucks. permitted To

streets At the same time police tend

DEVICE MEASURES
HEADLIGHT GLARE
Phot0meter Unit Invented by
n. C. Dickinson Gauges
BrilIiancy.

An inexpensive device for measuring
the amount OF glare from the head
lamps of an approaching car has been
arranged by DR. H. C.. Dickinson OF the
United States Bureau of Standards, for
attachment to his own car, and is de-
Scribed in the August issue Of the
S. A. r. Journal. BY means of this de-
vice II Is possible to determine whether
the light from an approaching car ex-
ceeds. is less than or equal to a fixed
light value 1t gives an accurate meas
urement and can be attached to car
In an inconspicuous way and used in
ordinary driving. Glare statistics that
are being obtained with 1t are expected
to be of great value in the study of
glaring headlamps, as, for example In
determining whether too much or too
little light causes discomfort and dam
ger in night driving.
Essentially. the device is a small port
able photometer fashioned from two
pieces OF oiled paper inclosed in card
board frame, in all about 2 inches
square, upon which small flashlight
is trained The photometer unit Is
pasted to the windshield of the car In
the line of oncoming light and the fash
light Is conveniently attached. Con-
nected In series with the fiashlight Is
a small rheostat. by means OF which
the current may be varied at will The
apparatus is readily calibrated, Read
ings are obtained by observing how the
light from an oncoming car compares
in intensity with the amount OF light
for which the photometer has been set,
The number of readings under, over
or equal to this intensity are recorded
by conveniently located counters A
rough estimate places the cost Of the
parts to make the apparatus at
about $40.
The headlighting research that the
Bureau of Standards Is making under
the technical direction Of the Society
of Automotive Engineers. is of funda-
mental character and is directed toward
sscertaining by road and laboratory
tests what light distribution will best

CROSSING BRIDGES
AID TRAFFIC JAMS
Elevated intersection Gains
in Use as Time and Acct
dent Saver.

Automobiles are taking to the air at
highway intersections, at least in eff
feet. Elevated crossings. wherein one
street is bridged over the interSeCting
highway. are now actualities. There
are probably two dozen street or rural
highway grade separations in the
United States, and more are being
planned or built, according to e. E.
Duffy, highway educational writer.
Wayne County, Mich, is at present
building the most elaborate raised in
tersection in the world This struc-
ture, costing in the neighborhood Of
81 100000. will pay for itself in a COM
paratively short time. it is estimated,
through the saving Of time and the
elimination of accidents it will bring
about.
The structure consists Of two bridges,
e%eh 1863 feet long and each carrying a
40-foot roadway and l0-foot walk
As Two-Way Road.
so even at this intersection Michigan
avenue continues AS two-Way road,
passing over Southfield road, now being
converted into a two-way road also.
The latter will pass under Michigan
avenue through four 30-foot openings.
Carefully arranged driveways and APP
proaches will permit traffic to pass
from one highway to the other without
interruption.
Los Angeles also is taking a big for
ward step in Fastening traffic through
the construction of a combination
bridge and overpaSs embodying four
grade separations. 1t Is known as the
Glendale Hyperion viaduct which In
spanning the Los Angeles River also
provides for the crossing of Hyperion
ever Glendale boulevard and Riverside
drive. The reduction Of travel time be-
tween the heart of Glendale and the
center of Hollywood is expected to
stimulate the settlement OF adjacent
undeveloped property.
