THIS SALESMAN

vertise His Product.

One of the sights that frequently
startled the douehboys in France was
that of the town cryer pursuing his
time-honored vocation in many Of the
smaller towns and villages Of the
country.
The representative for continental
Europe of the Liberty Motor Car
Company. T. Z. Henderson. stood In
the little city OF Ssumer one after
noon, idly watching what little life
there was visible on the main street
when he beheld two men marching
down the street both resplendentyin In
gay blue uniform trimmed with gold.
and one of them carrying q drum.
They halted before q public build
Ing which was presumably the city
hall. Immediately the drummer be-
gan to ply his sticks in . manner that
developed the greatest possthls
amount Of poise, and which indicated
his thorough acquaintance with his
trade. People began to pour out Of
the shops and houses and very speed.
lily quite a good sized crowd had
formed. And then, to Henderson's un-
bounded smazement the other fellow.
has stood somewhat in the back
ground, while the drummer welded
his sticks, stepped forward and in q
the Bull of Basham. shouted the con-
tents of a paper which he drew from
an inner pocket in typical ''ye olds
towne cryer" style.
Henderson is an American. And,
like most business men Of his nation.
he always has an eye open to the
main chance. An idea flashed through
his brain and he did not waste a min-
ute in carrying IL out
He found that these "towne cryers,
strange as IL may seem. still persist
ed in scores. perhaps even hundreds,
of towns and villages throughout
France. He discovered also that they
could be employed for a moderate
sum. and. furthermore. that this could
be done by mail from Paris. The rs-
naming work of carrying cut his idea
can better be imagined than described.
1t is enough TO know the result.
On a certain morning a few DAYS
later, drums were beaten All over
France. and in countless little cities

A.-You are clearly responsible for
this accident, and I hope you are pro.

The fact that the door Of your car

pliance with which is as necessary
for self-preservation as 1t Is for the
enforcement of claims for damages
due to accidents at railroad crossings.
So general Is the rule of law In
question tnat even where SAFETY gates
are provided at grade crossing fail
ure to take the precautions indicated
simply because the gates are not
down is no excuse. 1t may be true in
such a case that the railroad company
is guilty of negligence in not putting
the gates down when train Is about
to pass, but II is equally true that
the very presence OF the railroad
tracks is a warning OF possible dan
ger, and this danger Is held TO be so
well understood and OF so serious a
character that persons using the high
ways must always use reasona BILE
precautions to guard against collis-
ions with fast moving trains.
II these observations seem common.
place IL Is because they are not prop.
erly understood. The ever-growing
number OF suits for damages for ac-
cidents at crossings. In which 1t ap-
pears that the simple precautions
herein discussed were not taken
shows the indifference of the general
public on the subject, and the attenu
ated and usually unsuccessful at
tempts to escape the legal conse-
quences OF this class OF negligence.
An exception to the rule above
stated is shown by recent decision
dealing with an accident which oc-
CURED near one OF the army camps.
Three automobiles following each
other in immediate succession ap-
preached a grade crossing which was
poHced by a watchman. The watch
man signaled the cars to proceed, and
this they did without taking any pre-
cautions on their own account. AS
the first car got upon the tracks a
locomotive was seen to be coming at
full speed and only a few score yards
from the crossing. A warning shout
being given by some one near by, all
of the occupants OF the cars jumped.
The cars went ahead uncontrolled.
None OF the cars was damaged. but
the occupant of the third car. in his
excitement after jumping, got di
rectly in front of the locomotive and
was killed.
In view OF the specific assurances
of safety implied in the direct invita-
tion OF the watchman to cross the
court held that damages could be re-
covered.

1t has long been a fixed principle OF
