NOVEL SUGGESTION TO
AVOID MANY ACCIDENTS.
Plan Would Necessitate Slow Speed OF
Autos When Crossing Tracks.

In order to avoid accidents at rail-
road crossings. which have claimed
such large death toll In recent
months, novel suggestion has been
put forth which it appears will at
least lessen the danger of collision
between a train and passing carriages
or automobiles.
If the highway crossings We're diyld-
ed and offset with sharp turns at the
track. as per the sketch accompanying,
the crossing could not be made at high

speed Thus the driver would be 60
Ing slow enough to see train an:l
stop, if he used his senses at all.
In many instances it is impossible to
build overhead or tunnel crossings, and
aside from that the expenses are very
great. Such scheme as this would
not, of course, eliminate all accidents.
but the number would be greatly di
minished.
Colonel Cornell of the National High
ways Protective society reports that
the number of autounobilists killed in
New York state alone in 1913 up to
Aug. l has been seventy as compared
with fifty-two last year and seventy
two seriously injured as against fifty
eight in 1912 r. A. Brown of Detroit
says in the current number of the Spec
tator that more than 95 per cent Of
automobile accidents are due to care
