CAREFUL CROSSING CAMPAIGN.

In connection with the Careful
Crossing Campaign, which was
started on class one railroads in the
United States and Canada on June
1st, to continue until September 30th
under the direction of the American
Railway Association, fifty-two of the
largest railroads of the country
made a check of all automobiles
passing over the tracks at highway
grade crossings and discovered that
81 per cent of the drivers failed to
take any precautions whatever to
determine whether or not the way
was safe.
The Baltimore and Ohio took
part in this check, which was made
| in connection with the nationwide
Careful Crossing Campaign, and OBJ
| servers reported that only 5 per
cent. of the drivers failed to stop,
look or listen. This is due, officials
| of the railraod believe, to the in
tensive educational campaign the
road has been conducting for safety
ct crossings for three years.
| Another significant fact in the
observation test was that SO per
! cent. of the drivers of machines
passing over Baltimore and Ohio
tracks looked in both directions fol-
the approach of trains. On the So
railroads that have reported on the
test, 20 per cent. looked up ano
down the tracks before going ovel
them.
