Road Construction in New Germany

IF we leave the United States out of account, it is at first sight curious that countries overburdened with financial liabilities take the leading part in promoting road construction. During a period of great prosperity, the United States built a gigantic network of highways. Yet when unemployment increased, further energetic steps were taken to increase the road work being done. During the former period, maximum use was made of machinery, but now the tendency is to employ manual labour as much as possible. In Roads and Road Construction of April, there is an interesting paper by Prof. K. Kriiger, of the Technical High School, Charlottenburg, describing the latest German autobahn (superhighway) scheme. At the motor exhibition in March at Berlin, Herr Hitler urged the encouragement of motor-vehicle traffic as this would provide work for hundreds of thousands of men. The autobahn project has been fostered, and the construction of powerful high-speed vehiclesalmost semi-aircraft is being encouraged. It is intended that the highspeed traffic should be collected on the autobahn. The ordinary roads not built for the present dense heavy and rapid traffic would be saved from the necessity of constant repairs and efforts would be made to improve them. The super highway will enable the motorist to speed up to at least 90 miles per hour. A lorry driver will be able to travel between two distant cities twice a week instead of making only one return trip. The deterioration of the lorry and the general transport costs will be considerably reduced. The new roadways will open up many new picturesque places which will attract foreign visitors. According to the law of June 27, 1933, the German State railways have been authorised to create a subsidiary company to build and manage an efficient network of super highways as a monopoly.

The Transition from Live to Dead: the Nature of Filtrable Viruses1

RUTHERFORD was an example of the danger JAi and folly of cultivating thoughts and reading books to which he was not equal. It is all very well that remarkable persons should occupy themselves with exalted subjects which are out of the ordinary road, but we who are not remarkable make a very great mistake if we have anything to do with them.—W. HALE WHITE, preface to the second edition of “The Autobiography of Mark Rutherford.”

SOME PROFESSIONAL REMINISCENCES.

Every one who travels even an ordinary road has experiences of his own. If he can apply them to the good of any of his fellow-creatures he is serving in a very general way the common interests of humanity. There is always something, if he only turns his head in the right direction, that he may see in a new light. At certain times we react more sharply to the controlling circumstances of environment than ordinarily. It is the question of the man, the gun, the aim and the game being in proper line. Too often, alas! we not only miss the mark, but get kicked by the recoil. Thus the physician, by virtue of his judicial office, soon learns not only to think before he speaks, but oftentimes not to say what he thinks. His face must never be the mirror of his soul.
