Why Goes the chicken cross the road !?
Every notorist who drives in the coun-
try districts land every motorist dOes)
probably has pondered this mystery
many a time. The chicken is perfectly
safe until she decides the other side of
the road is safer, or more enticing, or
whatever 1t is that causes the chicken to
cross, just as the motor car comes dash
ing down upon her.
Why does the motorist cross the track
How like the reckless chicken is the
reckless motorist whose weird mental
twist finds expression in an insane at
tempt TO beat the train to the crossing
Even more strange is it that a motorist
would crash into the middle of a train
of forty cars, yet the above table shows
40 such cases on one railroad. Lowered
crossing gates, surely an unmistakable
sign of an approaching train, are splin-
tered as reckless drivers smash through,
and in cases the fagman, holding the
warning sign. is run into and injured.
Sc, after all, there isn't so much mys-
terry about the chicken crossing the road
when human being take such chances at
the grade crossings. Almost every day
the newspapers carry dispatches. Each
year more motor cars are driven. touring
becomes more popular, and grade cross
ing fatalities increase.
Just how the grade crossing accident
and its loss of life are to be eliminated
is still a problem among railroad men
They are agreed that only the elimination
OF she grade crossing will end this class
OF accidents, but the abonshing of all
grade crossings involves huge sums Of
nancy and cannot be considered in the
near future.
-
taken Immediately" said the head Of one
railroad, Ito reduce grade crossing &C
cidents. The railroads are working now
on better signaling, using a combination
of the visible and audible signals at the
more important crossings.

FINDS FASCINATION
IN FIGURES

Figures are sometimes facinating
when carried into comparative terms.
For instance, New York City has 1870
passenger and $500 freight elevators.
Last year they averaged carrying
$500, 900 passengers daily. The subway
carries 900 !OO0 a day. The up and down
distance travelled annually by the
Gotham elevators is estimated as the
mileage equivalent OF twice the circum-
ference of the earth. Arthur X. VIII
young calculates that if the paved
streets of Manhattan were stretched out
one after the other, they would extend
from New York TO Washington and
back again. I might add: Or put them
in a straightaway and they would ex-
ten from New York TO Pittsburgh.

AERIAL TRAVEL
NOT DANGEROUS
Only Is Lives We're Lost in
Flying 3,25O,OOO Miles il
Six Months.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3-The Manufac-
turers' Aircraft Association. on complet-
ing an aviation survey Of the United
States. announced that in the first six
months of the year the l 200 commercial
planes in operation in this country had
flown approximately $50, 900 miles.
The record" says the survey, shows
that civilian flying, although embarrassed
by the lack of an American air policy,
has established itself as a remarkably
safe and dependable means of trans
portation. In 3,2J0,000 miles Of travel
by air, only fifteen persons were killed
and forty three injured in a total Of
twenty-seven serious accidents. Most OF
these accidents occurred among that
class of civilian aviators known as gypsy
flyers.
"Of the 1900 commercial aircraft,
probably 1000 are under the indirect
supervision of responsible plane manu-
facturers or transportation companies.
and this is absolutely the only regula-
ton over flying. as local ordinances or
State laws cannot be enforced. Lacking
a Federal organization controlling civil
ian aviation. these 200 or more gypsy
flyers have been permitted to fly at will
and many have met disaster.
Eight OF the fatalities and thirty two
of the injuries in the last six months
have been traced to the lack Of terminals,
routes and storm warnings, or to reck
less stunting-errors which would have
been corrected or prevented had there
been a national air policy. In all the
United States there are only PA adequate
municipal or civilian air ports, yet
terminals are as necessary to aerial
transport as they are to shipping or the
railways. Deducting these preventable
casualties. it is found that there was
only one death for each 4642S miles
flown and only one injury for each 205.-
4J4 miles flown.
