the railroad crossing and suddenly Mrs.
Stearn who was in the rear seat, saw
the fast Atlanta to- New York train
approaching. Her screams attracted
her husband, who was cranking up the
car. and a moment before the train de-
molished his machine he got his party
safely to one side. The automobile is d
