SAW AND HEARD TRAIN
BUT STILL LOST LIFE

A decision has been rendered by
the Public Utilities Commission in
the matter of an accident which oc-
Cured at Jewett Station on the Bos-
ton & Maine Railroad May 90 last,
resulting in the death of Edward
Travers. aged 81 years, residing at
Jewett Station and employed at the
klttery navy yard. who was instant
ly killed by Boston & Maine passen-
ger train No. 524. at Jewett Station,
on the morning of May 26. 1919. Mr..
Travers. with two companions. was
standing on the passing track OPP
poSlte JeWett Station waiting for
/ this passenger train to take them to
their work. When the engine was
within two car lengthss of the point
where they were standing, Mr.. Trav-
crs. for some unknown reason. at
; tempted to cross the main line track
directly in front of the approaching
engine. Tn, engineer sounded the
danger whistle and applied the
emergency brakes but the accident
could not be avoided. Mr. Travers
was struck by the pilot of the en-
CINE, and his head was severed from
his body.
1T is Impossible to account for the
action of this unfortunate man in
placing himself in such place of
danger and thereby sacrificing his
own life. 1t appears that he wore
thick glasses, and was evidently
near sighted. but the evidence in
dicates that he must have both seen
and heard the approaching train
Possibly he may have misjudged the
distance by reason of his defective
vision and became confused. This
must be recorded as another one of
those regrettable accidents which
could not have been prevented ex-
cept by the unfortunate victim him
self"

THE COLOR BAND
ING OF HIGHWAYS

You have doubtless seen the
several kinds Of painted bands on
poles along the streets and roads as
you are riding along and wondered
what they meant. Some people
without inquiring. have been known
|, to await the stopping Of an electric
opposite one Of the narrow white
bands. only to later seek their ac-
customed place for taking the car.
The idea is color hand ng scheme
undertaken by the Maine Automobile
Association to mark out certain
routes through the State. Ten
routes have been selected for this
year and each will have its distinc-
tive color or combination of colors. in
the form Of painted bands in con-
spicuous places. usually on poles be-
side the road. Routes will also be
named, State of Maine names pe,ng
used.
For instance. the Atlantic High
way follows the Maine coast from
| kittery to Calais: the Longfellow
trail was named for Names great
poet and the Portland Fryeburg
route was selected because Portland
was his birthplace, Sebago lake
region was one OF his favorite
haunts and some OF his ancestors
came from the vicinity of F'ryeburg,
which he also made famous by his
poems: the Aroostook trail runs
through the heart of Names great
garden spot; and so on through the
list
"The plan has the full endorsement
Of the Maine Highway Commission
and will be installed under it's direc-
ton. The complete list Of the
routes is as follows:
Atlantic Highway-Blue band. top
and bottom. narrow white band
Portsmouth. n. H.. Kittery, Me-.
York Harbor. Kennebunk. Biddeford,
Saco. Portland. Brunswick. Bath.
