Trying to Save Human
Lives by Teaching Peo-
pie to Be Careful

Special TO Tho World.
WASHINGTON. July 22.--Im-
portant and widespread results all
over America are expected as an
outcome of the educational cam
palgn now under way to mako the
public more careful on railroad
grade crossings. on the first OF
June under the direction OF tho
American Railway association In
cooperation with all the railroads
in the country the slogan Gross
Crossings Cautiously" began to
make Its appearance from coast to
coast In places where the most peo-
pie would be likely to see Il.
Tho campaign Will continue TO
September 80. Railroad men are
hopeful that the constantly reiternt-
ed warning Gross Crossings Cau-
tiously" and the afresting picture
poster--reproduced above--that has
been distributed all over the coun-
try 10 the number of 100000 will
teach lasting lesson.
In 1920 about 76 per cent OF
grade crossing accidents involved
automobiles. In 80 years the Ma
tion's population has increased 6S
per cent. Crossing accidents have
increased 345 per cent in fatal and
6S2 per cent In injury cases. In
1920. 1872 persons were killed and
SOFT injured; Of the latter l16 died
later,
There are two ways OF reducing
or preventing such accidents. Tho
first Is the elimination OF crossings
This Is impossible. There are about
252, 900 highway crossings In tho
United States, the elimination OF
which would cost more than Sl2,-

ed By a battery current and 1t Is this
heat furnished by the battery current
that constitutes the force that dis
rupts the atoms Of the filament and
liberates electrons.
Fig. III is spherical glass bulb
from which all the air and gases have
been exhausted and having mounted in
1t filament CD which can be heated
to incandescence by the "A" battery
connected to it, and the metallic plate
E. When the flament CD is heated
to incandescence by the "a battery
connected across it's terminals cleo

and 'B" battery, with it's negative
side connected to the filament lead
at H and its positive side connected
through the current meter, the plate
becomes electrically positive with re-
spect to the flament.
Since like charges repel and unlike
charges attract, there will be move
ment of electrons from the filament
to the positively charged plate, and
the current meter will show defiec-
ton which indicates that current is
flowing in the circuit E-F-G-H.

called electrons. The apparent mass
Of an electron is about one-eighteen-
hundreth part Of that of an atom Of
hydrogen which Is the smallest Of the
chemical atoms.
According to the electron theory
an atom consists Of definite num-
Der of electrons grouped around
nucleus having a positive charge and
so long as none of the component
electrons are driven from the atom,
the latter possess no detachable charge.
The positive charge on the nucleus Is
said to be exactly neutralized by the
negative charges on the electrons
grouped about it.
Suppose now that by some means
an electron can be detached from the
atom. Then the atom becomes what
is known as positive ion and it ex-
hibits the properties Of a positively
charged body, or in other words since
an electron which carries negative
charge has been removed from the
atom which has equal positive and
negative charges, the portion of the
atom now remaining has deficiency
of negative charge and acts like any
positively charged body.
On the other hand If some force can
be brought to bear that will add an
electron to normal atom which Is
neutral as far as electrical charges
are measured, the result will be ne
gative ion, which will possess all the
properties Of a negatively charged
body. An atom then which has
deficiency of electrons is called a pos
tive ion and one having excess Of
electrons is called negative ion.
Since each electron carries a ne
gative charge Of electricity an cleo
tron represents a certain quantity of
electricity. Forcing electrons to move
from one point to another causes
electricity to flow. The ability of any
medium to conduct electricity or allow
current to flow through it depends
upon the number of free electrons
available as carriers Of charges.
It has been known for many years
that the space surrounding a piece of
heated metal Is a conductor OF
electricity. 1t has been demonstrate
ed more recently that this is due to the
release Of electrons and that if an
incandescent metal be placed in a
bulb exhausted Of all gases, pure cleo
irons will be liberated from the in
candescent metal.
In vacuum tube such as we are
using at the present time, the piece
of metal used to furnish the electrons
is called the fllament and is usually
made Of tungsten and sometimes is
coated with oxides to increase the
electron emission For convenience
