are more interested for the most part
in making money. AS is usual in a
country that abounds In natural re-
sources, we are not primarily inter-

lawmakers today are honored with
the name of Solon of Athens; that

1920, 1,79l persons were killed and
5,077 injured; of the latter 10 died
later.
There are two ways OF reducing
or preventing such accidents. The
first is the elimination OF crossings.
This is impossible. There arc about
$4,000 highway crossings in the
United States, the elimination Of

100000.
Grade crossings are being abo1-
ishc1 as fast as possible but it
will take, at the present rate, more
than 900 years to dispose Of all
crossings if no more arc added.
The American Railway Assoc;a-
ton and the railroads have decided
that the solution OF the problem can
be found in public education.
The railroads, since the termira-

carrying on an intensive educational
campaign to reduce accidents among
