ENGINEERS CONVENTION
Society to Meet Last Week In June

with the Government In matters re-
garding standardizing motor trucks
for war purposes and other activities,
will hold its annual engineering con-

Heretofore this society has char

engineering organizations have ANAL
gamated with it-aviation engineers,
farm tractor engineers, and motor
boat engineers-so that today the so
ciety represents practically all engi-
neering professions using the gaso-
lene engine.
Ottawa Beach is located on the east
shore of Lake Michigan, approximate

RAILROAD MEN MAKE
CAUSTIC COMMENT
Keep Record of Motorists Who
Disregard Safety First"
Principle.

What do you do when you drive your
automobile to a railroad crossing7
Um. huh. Oh. yes: see; you stop ;
look both ways to see that there Is no
train approaching; and then you pro-
ceed carefully across the track.
Now. Mr.. Careful Motorist, you never

you are and 50 that you may have Just

PLAGUE, cast your eye over these facts
which come from the Southern Pacific
railway as the result OF two years in
vestigation:
Smashed Through Gates.
Five hundred and twenty-five drivers
smashed through the gates when they
were down at the crossings and the
bells were ringing q warning.
sixty-nine and one-hah per cent OF
the 5000 cars, observed looked neither
to the left nor right
Two and seven-tenths per cent took
the pains to look both ways.
Twenty-seven and eight-tenths per
Nineteen and three-tenths, or 3,Sol
cars. dashed over the track at q reck-
less speed. Thirty-fve drivers OF the
5000 stopped their machines before
crossing the tracks, to make sure that
no trains were approaching.
Mr.. Ananias, you had better leave q
membership card the witness appears
to be weakening.
II more testimony Is needed, II can
be obtained from other railroads, For
example, the Illinois Central found that
IS per cent Of the automobiles crossing
the company's tracks went at high
speed. with drivers looking neither to
left nor right. while two-thirds Of all
the cars observed went over the tracks
In excess OF thirty miles an hour.
This testimony appears q strong in
dictment OF the motorist and shows
that the majority Of railroad accidents
and near-accidents where motor cars
are concerned In the coroner's report,
may be placed at the door Of the driver.
A big percentage Of deaths has been
laid to the attempt Of the driver to
beat the train to a orossing-trying to
save time bpt not trying to save lives.

The horse was, in fact, the automobile
of former times. He had a sixty Inch
wheelbase, or footbase rather, and rode
exceedingly hard, but could go over very
rough country and did not need anti skit:
chains in wet weather. He was of about
1-4Oth rlmabout power and his fuel was
oats which were fed him in nosebag
instead of from a carburetOr. He was
both air and water cooled and was con-
trolled by a bit throttle and a whip
which served the purpose OF a spark ao-
vance. He changed from low to hlgh
speed or.to reverse very readily, merely
hv command of his driver-which is a
point not yet reached by the most IN
oenious automobile makers.
The horse was very slow, but was
oasilv steered and usually reliable. Oddly
enough the horse usually became nervous
instead of his chauffeur and caused most
&c his own accidents. He was driven
without head or tail lights and without
license numbers, and if hauling a buggy
provided with tonneau could transport
four people eight miles an hour
