INERTIA ON ROAD GRADE
SEPARATIONS EXPLAINED

Much Of the inertia with respect to
building highway grade separations has
been due to the fear on the part of
abutting property owners that the i'm
provements would be assessed on their
land said Robert P. Page, jr., member
of the street traffic committee OF the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. commenting on the data of the
report.
This apprehension is rapidly being
dissipated. however. because experience
in different cities indicates that there
is little disposition on the part Of city
authorities to finance the grade separa-
tons Of streets In this manner.
while street widening projects have
frequently been assessed partially upon
adjacent property, it is recognized that
the passing Of one street above another
at busy intersections often saves the
city the cost Of entirely new highway
projects. Furthermore. this grade
separation Is Of special benefit to traffit
which is anxious to get through tina
particular area, and consequently the
improvement, being general benefit, l.
not primarily specific aid to any on'
locality"

While the problem of congestion on
the roads around Washington still Is
difficult one, and one which will not
be solved this year, nevertheless we
know that improvement will be noticed

number of roads available. The roads

highly valuable work in protecting the
smaller children as they go to and from

WIDEN HIGHWAYS
TO CARRY TRAFFIC
Many States Are Building
Roads to Accommodate 3 to
5 Lines of Cars.

Although most roads. because of their
narrowness compel motorists to drive
in tandem fashion only, noteworthy
strides are being made in highway
building whereby cars may travel two,
three or four abreast.
Wide rural highways, wholly unheard
OF until few years ago, are now being
built all over the country, and practical
ly all stable communities are laying
plans for their construction.
Outstanding among the current
achievements is that of New Jersey.
That State is building an express high
way from the mouth of New York City's
Holland vehicular tunnel at Jersey City
to Trenton, so miles away. From Jersey
City to Elizabeth, distance of Is miles,
the roadway is five traffic lanes wide,
and from there on to Trenton the width
Is 80 feet. This latter stretch includes
perhaps the longest straight piece of
roadway in the United States as it runs
for 80 miles without curve. This New
Jersey Superhighway is protected from
cross-trafic throughout its entire length
by means of elevated road intersections
and stoplights.
New Long Island Road.
New Workers are now speeding over
a 32-mile long superhighway on Long
Island. The Conduit Boulevard also
known as the Sunrise Highway, provides
speedy access over its 40-foot width to
ii towns.
In Westminster County, at the north
of metropolitan New York, numerous
wide highways have been constructed
which, along with other improvements,
have in six years doubled the valuation
Of Westchester County property, ac-
cording to the last report Of that coun-
TVS park commission.
Sections of the Boston Post road and
the Albany Post road have been
widened to take care of three and four
lanes of trafic. During 1928, 1912
miles of the Hutchinson River parkway
were completed, thereby giving 1872
mile roadway, permitting of the easy

Onions Sure to Put Up
Strong Case in Court

In the lawsuit between San Fran
cisco landlord and one Of his former
tenants, dentist, to determine,
whether or not lease may be broken
by fried onions, strong case might
be made for either side.
The onion is no joke. It is a vege-
table to be taken seriously. It is one
of the oldest of cultivated plants and
is now known to have been a chief
food of the ancient Egyptians. When
this fact was established the mystery
of how the pharaohs got the great
monoliths to the upper stories of the
pyramids was at once solved. In On
ion there is strength. -,.,.
A once famous advertising slogan
told us that "The worlds greatest
general died from eating a dish of
fried onions" Later biographers of
Napoleon reject this allegation as in
accurate. 1t isn't the man who eats
the fried onions who is in danger.
But if his associates will only resort
to the homeopathic principle that

safe and also add much to their en-
joyment of life.
AS a mater Of fact, the onion is
one of natures most valuable con-
tributions to cookery. By a delicate
use of the onion the French have
raised cooking to fine art.
Whether the onion appears as
chives, scallions. garlic or just plain
onion it's charm is resistless. Young
women have sacrificed their hope of
marriage through weakness for on
ions at the romantic age. Men have
turned from expensive menus to feast
on an onion sandwich.
The onion, as every crossword puz-
zle fan has found out by looking in
the dictionary, is liliaceous plant
-basically a lily. Which may explain
the obscure Bible passage, Consider
the lilies of the field. They toll not,
neither do they spin" If those lilies
were really onions they belonged to
the aristocracy of plants and there
fore shouldn't be expected to toll.
There is,.in our modern phrase, such
a thing as being too strong to work.
