] 1888 observations and there was a to-
tai of 4S4 failures to take safety pre-
cautions, or 25 per cent.
| During the year of 1920, we ex-
tended our observations. In the II
months of that year there were 1866
observations with 1886 failures, or 16
per cent.
| I'm 1921, our observers became even
more active and in the first six months
of this year. there were 24S,9SS obser-
vations made, and the failures reached
only s775 or 81 per cent.
The results of our observation tests
caused US to. have printed more than
| 100000 warning leaflets showing on
one side a boy warning an automobile
| list to stop before he crossed a track.
On the reverse side is a photograph of
machine reduced to splinters when
struck by train at the crossing We
, arranged to send out the leaflets in
mail that would reach the autoist. 1t
was found that every business house
appealed TO gladly consented to CO.
operate in the campaign. The auto
mobile commissioners of the different
states also co-operated.
There was one other means to
reach the owner and driver of the au-
tomobile. That was through news
paper publicity. one story telling OF
the dangers careless automobiHsts
expose themselves to was sent out and
reached 100000 readers.
| With genuine and sympathetic CO.
operation by all the railroads in som
definite plan of campaign, the ace-
dents at grade crossings in this coun-
try can be cut to less than one per cent
OF the machines using the crossings.
Were l to ask the average rail-
road man what day in the week he be-
| iieved the greater number of accidents
happen, he would say Sunday. one
hundred thirty-cfght accidents hap
pened on the following days of the
week: Sunday Is. Monday 25, Tues
day 10, Wednesday 27. Thursday II.
Friday 10 and Saturday 90 IT would
seem TO indicate that the automobile
truck is more likely to accident at
crossings than the pleasure car. for
there are more Of them in use on
weekdays than on Sundays
! Another surprising fact was that
nearly all the accidents happen while
the weather was clear. This 8, ems to
indicate that persons take more
chances in clear weather than when
II it is raining or showing.
The question of automobile acci-
dents at grade crossings is, consider.
the most important one the railroads
have to deal with. and I cannot i'm
press upon this body of safety mon
too strongly the necessity OF inaur-
urating a vigorous educational cam
pa.gn against accidents Of this char
acter. both for humane and economic
reasons"

Grade CROSSINGS

| Boston Sept. 27.-Automobile acct
dents at grade crossings is the most
important of all accident questions
that confront the railroads of the
country at the present time, c. w.
Galloway. vice president of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad told the Steam
Railroad section of the Tenth annual
Gil here today.
1T is now necessary for engineers
to consider all construction from the
standpoint of safe operation" Mr..
Galloway said. Even before the hu-
man element enters a plant, science
! has done it's part to make conditions
safe and sanitary. This came about,
! primarily, because of economic neces-
sity
II have watched the progress Of the
safety work on the Baltimore and
Ohio particularly, for many years and
it is with no little pride that / point
to some of the accomplishments for
safety. In 1915 the casualties among
employees totaled 1868; in 1920 the
casualties among employees totaled
goal, or a decrease in casualties Of Is
per cent. In 1915 the gross ton mile
age was 335.710000; in 1920 the
gross ton mileage was 40,S67, 502, 600,
or an increase Of IS per cent. That
means that in 1920. compared with
1915. the increase in train mileage,
both freight and passenger, was IS per
cent, and at the same time our casual
ties decreased % per cent.
with each recurring year the in
Icrease in the number of automobiles
and the growing carelessness of the
drivers make it very important that
we devote some extraordinary effort
to lessen accidents at grade crossings.
We are confronted with the fact tina.
/ there are 100000 motor vehicles now
~ use in the United States.
1t was with alarm that noticed
the reports of grade crossing accidents
showing increases month by month in
! 1919, and l determined to apply a
remedy. l felt that il the drivers of
cars could be reached Intimately they
would heed warnings. We started the
campaign by placing observers at a
! AN' "htIc travel was heaYy,
I When the observer noticed the driver
of an automobile approach the cross
ing and dash over it without taking
any precautionary measures to assure
himself that there was no train com
ing, the license number of the machine
; was placed on the card. These cards
were forwarded to automobile com
missioners according to the state
which issued the licenses The COM
missioners forwarded the cards to the
owners Of the machines.
These cards. after recitine the
facts of the observation. warned the
drivers or owners of automobiles, that
their lives and property had been
risked unnecessarily, and that a repe-
tition might bring disaster. In tn.
great majority of cases. the recipient
OF the card realized that he had been
careless and great many even wrote
their appreciation Of our. efforts to
save them from injury. There was a
gradually declining percentage Of fail
ures to take precautions
When we inaugurated the ohserva-
fion plan. we found that 81 per cent.
of automobiles failed to take proper
precautions when crossing our tracks
