NOVEL SUGGESTION TO
AVOID MANY ACCIDENTS
Plan Would Necessita,Se slow Speed Of
Autos When Crossing Tracks.

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