Washington, d. c., Jan. Q. Especially
The grade crossing must go and they
will be eliminated wherever possible on
the roads of the federal aid highway
system, which will be built as a result
of the passage Of the federal highway
act. When the roads which form the
primary Or interstate system are con-
structed, no grade crossing will be al
lowed to remain that it is at all prac
ticable to avoid. Every effort will be
made to make the roads of the second
airy system equally safe. but in this
case At is recognized that elimination
may not be practicable in all cases
at this time.
In making this announcement the
bureau of public roads, United States
department of agriculture, under whose
supervision the fund is allotted and
construction is undertaken, is putting
into effect a policy which it has long
advocated in principle, and whose adop-
ton it has urged with increasing effect
iveness upon state highway officials
for some time past. The policy is meet
ing with hearty cooperation on the part
of the states, and the American Assoc
citation Of State Highway Officials by
resolution has pledged it's best efforts
to cooperate to eliminate grade cross
ings on new construction.
In addition, the policy finds favor
among the railroads, some of the lead
ing carriers already having lent cheer
full aid in avoiding the construction of
more grade crossings.
Eliminate Some Crossings.
Instead Of grade crossings there will
he constructed, wherever possible. in
the future either bridge or an under
pass where roadway and railway inter-
sect. Important roads. which now
cross and recross railroad lines at
grades hereafter will be located entire.
" on one side of the railroad. even
though to do so may increase the cost
Of construction. State officials, real
izing the need of eliminating grade
crossings, have stated their desire to
cooperate with the department in carry
ing out this plan.
Where crossings are unavoidable. or
where interests justify construction of
highways to cross railroad lines, the
road will be so located as to pass over
the track or under it. In most in
stances of this sort the railroads bear
one-half of the cost of building the
bridge or underpass.
The prime object of the departments
policy to eliminate grade crossings on
federal aid roads is the saving of hui
man lives. This policy probably will
involve increased expense of constrnc-
ton in the case of some roads but it is
believed this is justified by the saving
of life During the three years end
ing with 1920. according to the best
records available to the department,
1886 lives were lost at grade cross
ings in the United States and 1854
persons were injured

THE LEAGUE AFTER TWO YEARS

TN SPITE Of the self constituted under
L takers. tho second anniversary of tn
birth Of the League Of Nations has rolled
around and. although nothing like She au-
thority originally projected has been ac-
corded that hOdy its achievements have
been far from incOnsdcrablc.
Recognition Of January 10. 1920. rs tn"
natal date Of the organization is Somcwhnt
technical. II was on that day that the
Treaty Of Versailles including the COvc-
nant was declared in force. but tho first
plcnary session Of the League was not held
until November 10. 1920. when the assembly
met in Geneva.
Before this time. however. several meet
ngs of tho League Council had been held
under circumstances bCsct with obstacles.
Not tnc least 0f those wcrc the prolonged
existence Of the Allied Supreme Council,
with unofficial yet diratorial powers. aud vt
course the damage 10 the Leagues prestige
caused by the detection of the United States.
Nevertheless. thc sum Of accomplishments
is impressive. The official statement from the
LcUguC emphasizes particularly the organ
ization of the Permanent Court Of Inter-
national Justice as the banner work.
There is not the least doubt Of this. The
machinery of the tribunal is almost ready
for functionng. Its Importance to civiIi-
2ation can hardly be over r-CStimatcd. Tho
court IL open to nation not members oi the
League. and even obieCtors to Article y of
tho covenant have hCcn inclined 10 look
fayornbly upon the arbitral body.
Thrcc Of the five international disputes
iorcrr"d to the Lcnguc within the past two
Years have been settled and two arc IN stages

tho League has cndcnvorcd to carry ont tH'
