...unsnarl the major postwar highway problems of the northeastern U.S. By November, if all goes well, the new $250 million New Jersey Turnpike will siphon the outpouring of trucks and cars from New York, run them across the Jersey meadows and farmlands at 60 to 70 m.p.h., and spill them out on the new Delaware bridge in half the time of today's routes. From there, in mid 1952, southbound motorists should be able to bypass Baltimore by cutting through the Eastern Shore of Maryland, crossing the Chesapeake near Annapolis, on a four-mile bridge already begun. This will...
...Coulee would have backed the water far into Canada. So the dam was built to raise the water level about 350 feet. A small part of the electric power that its turbines generate is used to pump part of the river the rest of the way (280 feet) and spill it into the Coulee. This turbine-pump combination, using a river's energy to raise part of its water over its own high banks, is the key engineering trick that frees irrigation from gravity. Its efficiency is about 80%, i.e., one cubic foot of water falling 100 feet generates...
From Tracy, the boosted Sacramento water will wind south 117 miles and spill into the San Joaquin at Mendota Pool. Then it will run down the San Joaquin, irrigating downstream lands. The payoff comes at the extreme southern end of the Central Valley. Friant Dam will divert San Joaquin water that would otherwise be needed downstream and send it through a 153-mile canal to drought-plagued Bakersfield. No Sacramento water will actually get to Bakersfield, but the effect will be just the same. As the bureaumen put it: "The rain will move 500 miles south...
...sprinter, Your Host (TIME, April 9), looked as though it was going to pay off. Last week the four-year-old stallion was feeling chipper enough to get a new pair of shoes for the first time since he fractured four bones in his right elbow in a racing spill early this year. If he continues to improve at the same rate, Your Host, winner of ten stakes and $384,795, will stand at stud for Lloyd's next spring. Likely...
...after leading for a mile, and finished ninth. But after that, he seldom ran out of the money. Your Host came back to beat such horses as Hill Prince and Ponder, had earned $384,795 for Movieman-Owner William Goetz when he broke an elbow bone in a spill at Santa Anita early this year...
