A RAILROAD CROSSING
WARNING TO VEHICLES

Northwest railroads have expended
thousands of dollars in the last two
years installing safety signs along
their crossings. This has had a re-
markable effect in reducing to a
minimum accidents at such places:
According to the Northern Paclflc
railways bureau Of efficiency, how
ever, automobilists should observe
greater caution when approaching
railway crossings. Although that
road has been almost free from
trains colliding into motor cars at
crossings, a campaign is being waged
to point out to automobile drivers the
part they should play.
"When motor car owners follow the
plan of stopping before they reach
a crossing, or approaching it at very
low speed, and then looking both
ways and listening" says a recent
circular, "the danger of accidents at
