ways of supporting himself mean

came easily, and other demands for
his exceptional bass voice and his
ready musicianship enlisted him in
small choral and madrigal groups.
Becoming interested in this intimate
ensemble work, he found more and
more of his time. devoted to it in con-
cert and radio although he continued
his solo activities. Because he pre-
ferred the better type of music and
there seemed to be too little atten-
ton paid to male-voice compositions

in organizing the Ionian Singers,
whosce subsequent success is now a
matter of musical history.

ton Of roadway expenditures on
safe passing sections rather than
spending them over the entire high
way"
Get Maximum Safety.
Uncle Sans big idea in his entire
State-highway survey program is
that the program of reconstruction
and of new construction should be
based on facts, SO that every Ameri-
can motorist may get the maximum
of safety per dollar.
Maximum safety requires many
changes in the design standards for
rural highways. That is, curvature,
sight distance, roadway widths and
super elevation should be uniform
in relation to the designed speed
for particular type of highway. 1t
will be desirable also to provide for
a uniform factor Of safety, so that
motorists may reasonably expend
the same margin Of safety at all
locations.
The administrations research
study will look thoroughly into the
matter OF side slopes. Side slopes
Of four, to one and back slopes of
three to one are important safety
features of the modern high
way. These nat slopes allow q car
to run into q ditch and back onto
the highway without danger Of roll
ing over. The greater widths Of
right Of way, required to accomplish
this, make driving less fatiguing and
provide greatly improved visibility
at road intersections, farm drives
and field entrances.
Science has spent enormous sums
studying ways and means for max
ing our roads stronger, smoother
and easier to ride over. Now the
research experts are giving more
attention to the problem Of how
efficiently our highways can provide
for the free movement Of tramc.
This is especially important In view
OF the many super highways in
prospect, since before these can be
built, science must know not only
how thick and strong to make them,
but exactly what shape.
Evening star., 1939-10-08

Many tests will be made concern
ing the sight distance offered the
average motorist on typical, con-
gested highway. For, according to
Walter H. Klapproth, Illinois Di-
vision of Highways:
visibility or sight distance is the
most important consideration in
highway design. If accidents are to
be reduced, adequate sight distances
must be provided. We can no
longer use our former arbitrarily
established sight distance limit of
500 feet. We now find highways be-
ing designed with minimum sight
distance of 750 feet in hilly country
and nearly 1000 feet in more level
sections.
"Safe passing visibility distances
have been stepped upward to 100
and 1900 feet in hilly and level
country, respectively. More thought
is now being given to the concentra-

new Nationwide survey by con-
Quoting number of capacity stu
dies on some OF the most heavily
travelled rural highways in Massa-
chusetts. Similar investigations will
be made during the next six months
in other sections of the country.
The general procedure, recently
worked out by the Federal tech
nicians, is as follows: At all study
locations the time that each vehicle
enters and leaves a section of ex-
perimental highway is classified as
either passenger car, bus Or truck.
Each truck is further classified as
a light, medium or heavy truck,
truck and trailer, or semitrailer. It
is possible to obtain from these basic
data the speed of each vehicle, its
time or distance spacing from the
other vehicles, and the exact volume
Of traflc in each direction during
any desired time period. The stu
dies are being conducted for ap-
proximately eight hours each day,
starting while trafiic is light and
continuing through the heaviest
volume. This gives q wide range In
trafic density at each location.
Thus far the Federal investigation
has been limited to level tangent
sections with long sight distances.
The effect that grades, intersections
and varying degrees Of curvature
have on the roads capacity must
be obtained before it will be possible
to arrive at practical working
capacities for highways Of varying
designs.
The new speedmeter developed by
administration technicians utiIzes
