!. An automobile engine is harder
TO start in winter because OF a COM
binatiOn OF difficulties due only 70 the
cold atmosphere Cold thickens or
solidifies the oil that is carried in the
crankcase. in the transmission and
rear axle unit It prevents the battery
from functioning as vel as il does in
in summer. Il does not allow the
gasoline 70 vaporize and form as good
a charge for igniting in the cylinders,
because the cold winter air acts as q
sort Of condenser TO gasoline vapor
instead Of mixing as il should with
the vapor when the engine Is first
started. Thus with thick lubricant the
battery is required 20 supply more
energy to the starter, and with q poor
carburetor mixture II must continue
the cranking operation for a longer
period OF time II the battery is not
well charged the engine viii not be
cranked as fast as Il should be and
wiz give a poorer spark ina battery

lead to harder starting.

Thus It appears that nearly 20 per
cent Of those injured and killed dur
ing the three year period were motor
lists and that such deaths and acct
dents are steadily increasing from
year 10 wear. In fact, there were
nearly II per cent more motorists
killed in 1913 at grade crossings than
in 1917.
That preventive measures are be-
coming more effective in some states
than in others because of grade cross
ing Examinations. more cautious driv-
ing, and the protection Of crossings by
gates, bells, ETC. is indicated by the
fact that the deaths occurring are
not always in direct proportion ITO
the number Of machines registered in
those states. For instance, while New
York gained first place IN registra-
tons, more motorists were killed in
Ohio. Likewise. Pennsylvania, running
third In 1913 registrations, has fifth
place on the death list Gassachu-
sets was tenth in registrations, but

nearly every paved road is oval shaped

It is practically impossible to elimi-
nate all grade crossings on account
OF the expense involved.
The Pennsylvania railroad has al
ready spent S66,000,000 in grade cross
ing elimination, but It is estimated
that It would cost S600.000.O00 to
wipe out the remaining 1900 cross
ings
There are thousands OF grade
crossings, however, which could be
eliminated by relocating the main
highways and by combining the bulk Of
the highway traffic to one side Of the
railroad said 1Ir. Eldridge. VERY
frequently the highway viii wind back
and forth across the railroad tracks
and this without apparent reason

kansas which crosses the main line Of
an important railroad line nine times

The great majority OF accidents
occur at unprotected crossings over
double track railroads, where one
train may prevent motorists from OBJ
serving the approach OF another train,
or where the railroad tracks are OBJ
secured by embankments, buildings,
trees. or shrubbery. On the other
hand. many accidents occur where
the tracks are clearly visible IN both
