Crops to Rule Sale

Rail Strike Presents Problem
of Getting the Yield
TO Market

Sn LOUIS. Aug. 5.-Automobile
sales to farmers in the fall months de-
pend now absolutely upon the perfee-
ton Of the corn crop, which is every
where in ST lendid condition at this time,
and upon the settlement Of the indus
trial situation. according to c. A. Vane,
general ms-1Fer Of the National Auto
mobile Dealers Association, who has
Just completed a 500-mile motor trip
through the farm sections Of Missouri
and Illinois. talking with farmers, auto
mobile dealers and country bankers.
Wheat generally has Melted splendid
yields, but the problem confronting the
farmer now is getting this crop into
the market and turning it into cash.
Curtailed train service, due 70 the shop
mems strike, has already resulted IN a
serious Gripping Of shipping facilities
and II the strike grows worse there
will be loss Of millions Of bushels OF
grain because Of the poor storage fseil-
tiles generally existing on the farms.

Auto Thieves
Underwriters Conference
Has Offered Cut i'm Insur-
ance Rate if Identified
ton Method Is Perfected
Must Be Thief Proof
Markings Are Required for
Engines and Frames That
Cannot Be Changed About

II is recognized generally that one
Of the most effective ways OF Identify
ing stolen automobi and minimizing
the danger OF their being stolen would
be the adoption OF method OF number
ing engines and frames which would
make it impossible to change the num-
bers without leaving indication, that
such q change had been made.
At the present time stamping plain
characters on several parts Of the en-
CINE and other units OF the chassis
seems 10 be the most satisfactory way
OF guarding against having numbers
changed By automobile thieves or gas
pirates. as they are called. Several
automobile companies are now using
this method. II is realized. however,
that II a simple means OF numbering
iron or aluminium osstings can be de-
veloped which will make % impossible
for the numbers 10 be changed or leave
indications that they have been changed
IL will be a real solution OF this i'm
The National Automobile Underwrit-
ers' Conference submitted TO the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber OF Com
merce an offer OF 20 per cent redue-
tion in automobile insurance theft
rates. provided satisfactory methods
Of numbering engines and frames
should be perfected. This offer was
submitted by Charles Clifton, president
OF the National Automobile Chamber
Of Commerce, 10 the Society Of Auto.
motive Engineers. Mr. Clifton stated
in his letter TO the engineers society
that "the automobile industry feels
that there is nothing more important
for the future OF the industry, pro-
vided IL can be done, than providing
means Of marking both frames and en-
gines and thereby saving tremendous
sums by reductions in insurance, as
proposed. It is important that we
know at the earliest possible moment
whether or not we have talent enough
10 develop n satisfactory engine and
frame marking"

Road Reports Lack
OF Care by Autoists
In l.. s. Increases
Baltimore & Ohio Bases
Warning on Check-Up of
Observers at Crossings;
Caution Cards Sent Out

Are drivers OF motor vehicles becom-
ing more negligent, less regardful Of
their own safety?
n would seem so from actual obser-
vations made by the Baltimore g. Ohio
Railroad. For more than two years
this railroad has been placing men at
crossings where there are usually
large number Of automobiles passing
These observers make note Of the num-
Der OF machines crossing and take down
the license numbers Of those whose
drivers fail to take any precaution TO
assure themselves that IL is safe 20 pass
over the tracks. This safety preeau-
ton consists Of the driver slowing
down or stopping. ard then looking and
listening. When driver dashes over
without taking any Of these preeau-
lions his license number Is noted ana
a card telling him Of his negligence Is
sent him, with request 10 guard MS ne
and property the next time he goes over
a railroad track.
In the year 1920 the Baltimore 4
Ohio observers took note OF $4,000 We
hicles in the states through which II
operates. In that year, according 70
the records Of these observers. there
were 25.690 drivers who failed 70 take
any precautions at highway crossings.
This was per cent Of the total OBJ
servations made.
In April Of this year there were 49,
Az automobiles checked by the rail
roads observers. There were 1872 Of
the drivers Of these reported as fall
ing to stop, look or listen before pass
ing over the tracks. This was a safety
failure" Of IS per cent.
For the first four months OF this
year there were $3.50 machines OBJ
served and the failures reached II
per cent.
The increase in the number Of driv-
ers failing 10 take safety precautions
seems clearly TO indicate, in the opin-
ion Of the roads safety department,
that the automobile driver is becoming
more negligent.
