MISTAKE WARNING
FLASH FOR ROBBERS

An automatic danger signaling
device has been stationed at the
Greenville crossing OF the Philadel-
phia and Reading Railway on the
Kennett pike. The signal is OF the
same design as is used at railroad
crossings in New York State.
The signal stands about ten feet
high, the top OF which resembles a
clocks face, with the word Dan
ger" in large letters painted around
it. At night, a red light flashes every
two or three seconds while a train is
approaching.
The light is controlled by an auto
matte lighting device installed with
in the signal. When the light was
first installed about a month ago,
some amusing stories got about that
motorists would stop their cars some
distance from the light thinking that
Ihighwaymen were attempting to
hold them up.
