Stop, Look and Listen
at Crossings Still Is
A No. | Advice
By II. Clifford Brokaw
Principal West Side Y. NJ. C. A. An
tomobiLe School

tomobile School
Are you in the habit of trying to
beat the locomotive to the railway
crossing? The papers are telling of
another man who tried it on one of the
Jersey meadow roads, with the usual
result-he and his young bride paid
the supreme penalty Of reckless haste.
1t would seem unnecessary to eau
ton the motorist where an element Of
safety is involved. Ought not every
one intrusted with the wheel of an
automobile to be, as matter of course,
interested in his personal safety and
in the safety of those in his care
Would you not expect that he would
take all ordinary and even extraordinary
/ precautions to keep skin unscratched
and bones unbroken and existence pre-
| served? But it is fact that for a
| large proportion of motorists there is
no such word as danger" and no such
word as scare" I wonder why.
Too Much "Take Chance
For e. ME reason there is abroad the
| spirit o. take a chance" and it has
entirely superseded the cautious fore
sight which once was the American
nature. Perhaps II is the changed cor
ditions of our land which are respc.4
sible for this. In pioneer days caution
was necessary, for one did not know
| behind what rock lurked death in the
form of a savage. and there were al
ways ferocious animals to avoid in the
wilds and even along travelled high
ways, so that to look ahead, to walch
for signs of danger and to approach
points of peril with every sense alert
was second nature.
We are only generation or two
from these things, even at the crowded
centres of population, but the last two
generations which have grown up in
the city and millions who have come
| from other lands in the same period
have not this inbred caution. Men who
are in peril daily from one cause or
another incident to city life and moth
ing happens" cannot be expected to get
excited about these things, which in
time become so familiar as to breed
contempt.
The man who is in constant fear lest
something fall from tall building up
on him, or there be an explosion from
beneath, or a crash of trolley, subway
or elevated cars, with a generous COM
plement of fire and food and gale add
ed, would go crazed if he thought much
on these things. Therefore, it is hard
to get him to think Of safety first" II
is rather 81 should worry!" and this
actually prolongs life. so long as it is
applied tc familiar things. 1t keeps
nerve systems from breaking.
This is why it is SO hard to get the
city driver accustomed to caution IL
places of real peril. One of the wors,
of these is driving over railway tracks
Out on the Huckleberry division, where
there is but one train day each way
if luck favors the intending passen-
gers, there is not so much danger, but
in the vicinity of all large cities. where
suburban trains run often and through
trains are numerous, it behooves the
autoist to acquire speedily belief in
signs. The usual sign at a railway
crossing is a post with two arms in
the form of an X to warn highway
travellers. 1t matters not that there is

The Other Fellows Rights
But if one need be careful Of his
own hide. how about the other fell
lows? Il is easy TO say of pedestrian
or man in another vehicle, let him keep
out of the way. or keep to his side
of the road Well, if he doesn't, you
can keep out Of his way and you will
be great deal happier at the end
of your trip than if there is an acc
dent. No cNe likes to contemplate
even an unavoidable injury to another.
Then, too, the pedestrian has some
rights-even greater than the auto or
the subway. 1t is popular to talk about
the "jaywalker" and to assume that
the man CT foot has few rights in
the roadway, where he has first right,
according to the United States Supreme
Court, and no amount of traffic rules
and ordinances and laws can rob him
Of that right, according to the same
authority.
1t might be an unwise thing. but
pedestrian may walk in the middle OF
the road and it is the duty of the
autoist TO keep out of his way. This
is not popular, but it is law, and dam
ages are being assessed on that basis,
and it is a good thing to bear in mind
1t may be hard on the autoist, but

Tine to Put a Stop
To Alarm Whistles

When on earth are they going to stop
the use of those whistles SIS alarm sig
nails on motor trucks? Some one said
a long time ago that the police were 60
ing to prohibit their use, but If that Is
so, there are no signs of it being &C.
complished as yet.
Of all the nusances that ever have
been perpetrated on the public, these
whistles are the worst. They overdo the
thing The best drivers rarely use the
warning signal. They go carefully, and
therefore don't need to scare people 70
death to make safe ps"sage.
The drivers who use these whistles
don't seem to realize that there are
folks with weak hearts.
