Many drivers have co-operated

4,SOARE KILLED
CROSSING RAILWAY
12,750 Injured in Four-Year
Period-AutoistS Declared
Careless.

Statistics just made public by Charles
". Galloway. vice president. in charge
Of operations of the Baltimore and Ohio
period from 1917 to 1920, inclusive.
1850 persons were killed AT grade cross
ings in automobile accidents and 1880
injured. This is an average of three
persons killed and eight injured every
day of this four-year period.
Mr.. Galloway asserts tnat only one in
every four automobile drivers use the
necessary precautions for safety at rail-
road grade crossings. TIE startling evil
dence whrh the Ralt;morr and Ohio has
gathered. he declares. showed the utter
care!vssH"ss of some autcmab.lists at
places known to be dangerous.
Despite all the active warfare tina t
has been wacsd to combat this evil.
says Vice President Galloway, the rail
roads of the country are confronted with
the fact that such casualties have been
increasing.
safety Campaign Conducted.
"A continuous campaign has been
conducted for months by the Balti-
more and Ohio to educate automobile
drivers to heed the grade crossing
warnings. In November. 1919. the
company began a direct mailing cam
paign to bring graphically to the at
tention of automobilists the neglect Of
the majority to heed warning signals
that the railroad has set up. In it's
program of education, the railroad
made observations at some of it's
busiest crossings. noting the number
of drivers who failed to take neces-
Sary precautions before starting to go
across. setting down the license mum
bers OF ma p'S and then commune
eating wiz tine drivers, giving them
the date. tlace and time of their neg
ligence nd urging them to exercise
care in he future for the protection
of their own and the lives of others.
1T is physical and financial i'm
possibility to eliminate all grade
crossings on our system and until We
obtain the cooperation of drivers of
all vehicles. grade crossing accidents
Will not be decreased as rapidly as
they should
Since the observation campaign
was inaugurated by the Baltimore and
Ohio in the fall of 1919. up to and
including tine month of March. 1921.
there have been 100000 observations
made. In the beginning the per cent
OF failures of motor car drivers to
observe the safety rules in the short
period of 1919. was % per cent; fail
ures in 1890 were Is per cent. The
result Of our plan of calling direct
attention of the driver to the non
observance of the safety rules has
been most gratifying. as indicated by
the following figures:
Gratifying Results.
in January, 1921. with 5000 OBJ
servations. failures were only per

In February, 1921. with 1900 OBJ
