well.
We expect to have special

AANY ACCIDENTS AT
GRADE CROSSINGS
Number OF People Killed and Injured
In Automobile Accidents I'm
necessarily High.
WARNING SIGNAL NOT OBSERVED

In spite of crossing gates, automa
ic warning bells, electric headlights
nd engine signals, accidents continue
o occur at railway grade crossings.
During the last ninety days, IS per-
;OnS have been killed and SO persons
INJURED in automobile accidents on the
illinois Central and other railways
have had similar experience. The
ailway people do their part, all that
necessary on the part of automo-
0ilists is care and observance of the
Warming signals.
Many people are prone to consider
ne railway grade crossings in their
own communities as especially dan
gerous, but that is not true All rail-
gay grade crossings are dangerous.
fowever, statistics prove that cross
ngs which are used extensively, and,
therefore,, considered the most dan
5erous, are really the safest. The
great majority of accidents occur at
outlying crossings, which are the least
Used.
A bridge at each crossing is desir-
able, but the cost makes it prohibitive.
There are 5000 grade crossings on
he Illinois Central system alone. To
separate the grade at these crossings
would cost $215 ,40S020, or nearly
vice as much as the capital stock of
hat company.
The only immediate solution of the
problem is for the users of automo-
oiles to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN be-
fore crossing railway tracks at grade

size, she is only eight years old, she
is voted as the the best skater on the

AT FAIR GROUNDS
,t:.;e Fair Grounds To Have New
Sewage and Garbage Disposal
System In 1917.
s25.0OO APPROPRIATED FOR WORK.

Extensive sanitary improvements,
posal systems, will be made at the
State Fair grounds, Milwaukee, be-
fore the holding of the 1917 fair, as
a result Of the survey made during
1913 by the University of Wisconsin
at the request of the state fair board.
The purpose is to have the fair
grounds representative of modern
sanitary science and to reduce any
menace to the health of visitors. A
complete system of sewers connecting
with the West Allis system will be
installed and plans are being made
for a number of sanitary drinking
fountains providing AN adequate wa
ter supply free frNEl contamination.
Screened or tightly closed manure
bins will be built, and a small crema-
tory plant will probably be installed
to care for garbage and refuse.
Attention was first directed to un-
sanitary conditions at the fair grounds
when health exhibits were discussed
as a feature OF the fair A survey
of conditions was made by Prof. @.
R. BascOn sanitary engineer of the
University Extension Division, and as
a result the succeeding legislature ap-
propriated $4,000 for improvements.
Contingent conditions have been full
illed and the work will be carried out
at once, following plans drawn up by
Mr. Mascom and C. p Norgard, COM
missioner of agriculture A start on
the work was made this year but the
board found it possible to do little
more than abolish some Objectionable
features and screen some eating
houses.
