CAUTION TO AUTOlSTS
WHO CROSS RAILROADS
w. n. Stewart, Jr., Says Many
Persons Are Killed Through
Own Carelessness.

ut is we'll to give the motorist a
few words of advice on a subject usu-
ally isregarded-that of crossing
railroads." says w. H. Stewart, jr.,
president of the Stewart Automobile
School, New York.
Many people are killed on the
tracks through their own carelessness
Some are SO eager to get across that
they even drive through closed gates.
The all too usual method of cross
ing tracks is to drive on high gear,
throttled down. This requires a GER
tain amount of gas and if the amount
is reduced too much the engine will
stall. BY shifting into second speed
all such danger is overcome. Then the
engine is turning faster and it is not
so easy to stall. Furthermore, the car
may be driven across the tracks at
approximately the same speed. The
impression prevails that the car may
be speeded up more readily on high
gear in the event of train approach
ing. but the distance is short and a
full throttle opening on second speed
will send the car forward with
greater certainty.
This brings up matter of impor-
tance. that of opening the throttle too
suddenly If the accelerator pedal is
pressed too quickly the engine some
times stalls. This is because the air
valve yields readily to the increased
suction. giving sudden rush of air
before the spray nozzle can respond
with enough gasoline. Whether the
throttle is opened by hand or foot.
the driver should open it gradually
enough to give the engine time to re-
spond. No matter how great the dan
ger may be, the throttle must be
opened gradually. This does not
mean to hesitate. but at a speed which
will not cause the engine to choke be-
fore accelerating.
"Stalling the engine with a train
approaching at high speed is a dan
gerous experience. to say the least.
There is no time to start the engine.
but the operator who keeps his pres
ence of mind will use the starter to
pull out of danger. BY shifting into
low speed and pressing the starter
pedal the car is made to move for
ward slowly. Keeping this fact in
mind. a driver may save his own life
but the lives of those with him.

BALTIMORE, August 30-The motor
bus may loom up as factor in the pas
senger transporta ton problem of this
city. especially if the fare increase to
'i2 cents asked by the street railway
company is granted by the public serv-
| ice commission. The danger of losing

In Il letter to the board of esti
mates this week the head of the ap
zeal tax court says that nearly 800 =
100000 worth of property would be
stricken from the tax books of the
city if the voters should approve the
proposed amendment to the city
charter abolishing the tax on mer-
chandise and making an annual re-
duction of 10 per cent in the assess
ments on improvements until the re-
duction reaches so per cent of their
value. 1t is estimated that the an
nual loss in revenue will reach $780,
900, based on the present tax rate of
S2.01. The abolishment of the tax on
merchandise. it is figured. would cut
the taxable basis of the city not less
than $100.000,000.
