THIS DEVICE IS
train Warming
Would Force Auto Drivers
to Check Speed at
Crossings
LOCKS ITSELF WHEN
TRACKS ARE CLEAR

WAsHINTON. May 14.-In the
hope of minimizing, II not entirely
eliminating grade crossing accidents,
E. NJ Yates, employed at the Air
Mail Service Field. College Park.
Md. has invented a device which he
believes will give such startling no
tice OF the approach OF train that
few vehicle drivers would fail to
heed IT, Such is his interest in the
safety-hrst campaign and reduction
OF fatalities at grade crossings that
he offers to give the device TO the
public free OF all cost.
The invention consists OF a flexible
or undulating bridge. which would
be placed about 200 yards from the
grade crossing and give a warning
Of an oncoming train by heaving
like the waves OF the sea. II would
] he operated by the oncoming train.
The theory Of the invention is that
the approaching train would make
the bridge flexible so that any ve-
hicle passing over il would sink and
rise in such a fashion as to force
| fully impress the driver with his or
her danger. After the train has
passed the bridge would he auto
matically locked into rigid position
and remain so until made flexible by
another train.
"I have been giving many years
study TO grade-crossing accidents and
their prevention" said Inventor
Yates yesterday. THE recent fatal
accident at College Park. Nd
prompts me 10 offer my invention 10
the public without cost.
"My device insures slow driving OF
vehicles crossing the flexible or un-
dulating bridge. II also provides for
a reasonable check in speed by any
driver who can clearly see 100 feet
ahead OF his vehicle by providing an
abrupt rise in the roadway. fianked
on either side by a fence which
would make il necessary for the
driver to use the bridge.

spelling: Ridpath or Redpath2
have also seen the last syllable writ
ten "peth." What is the signifi-
cance?
Any Of these spellings seems TO be
correct enough and all are found in
old records. However, it was from
two words. red and path, that the
name was derived. so perhaps this Is
the oldest spelling. The name may
have been taken because the bearer
dwelt at such a locality, or 1t may
have been taken from town Red
path in Northumberlandshire, which
in turn was taken from the words
red. and path.
