|B&O CHECKS UP ON
CARELESS AUTDISTS
Thousands Neglect Safety
Rules at Grade Cross
ings in Maryland.

The strenuous campaign inaugu-
rated by the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road to eliminate accidents at grade
crossings on It's lines is bearing fruit,
according to iate reports. Despite
the big increase this year in the use
OF automobiles. estimated to reach 80
per cent. In 1920 over 1918, 1t is be-
lieyed that the Intensified drive now
going on will cut the casualty list far
below what II was last year.
There were rs persons killed and
102 injured in the period mentioned,
and of these ~ of the dead and 20
VI the Injured were in machines
struck by trains.
It has been estimated that 1900
persons were killed and at least
Twice that number injured at railroad
crossings OF the nation last year.
On a Sunday in mid November OBJ
servers were stationed at crossings
on the Baltimore and Ohio much fire.
quented by automobiles. They had
cards ON which was recorded the Ii
cense tag number of every machine
the driver or which had failed to stop,
look and listen before passing over
the tracks The results OF this check
were astonishing. in Maryland, for
instance. there were 1904 drivers
who failed TO take any precautionary
measures al the twelve crossings un-
der observation. This was about 20
per cent Of the total number of ma
chimes which passed. 1t has been es-
timated that the machines which vio-
lated safe practices contained an
average of three persons each. That
means that the lives of more than g.
900 persons were jeopardized within
a space of few hours on single day
within very restricted territory.
The cards ON which the observers
noted the Violations were collected
and through the license tag number
the yioiators were found and card
sent them telling of the danger they
had faced and urging that caution be
exercised in the future. The plan
has been extended to several states
and is producing wonderful results.
II is proposed to keep the campaign
alive for many weeks to come so that
no automobile owner or driver will
fail to get warning. II the casualty
list can be cut deeply, despite the
great increase in the number of cars
that Will be in use this year, it will
mean that the conservation of man
power will be worth the great expense
OF the campaign.
