The Auto and the Fool Killer.

Have you ever come close to getting killed
at railroad crossing? The number of deaths
from this cause has been reduced by half since
1907. But the toll is still heavy, and rs out Of
100 crossing deaths happen to auto drivers
Contrary to general belief, recklessness is not
the cause of most crossing accidents. F. M.
Metcalf, safety expert of The Northern Pacific
railroad, has been checking up on his road.
He finds that really reckless drivers are few.
But thousands of motorists every day drive
over the railroad tracks without taking the
trouble to look either to the right or left. This
is an odd slant on auto accidents--that more
people risk their lives by carelessness when
driving slowly than when speeding. The fact
that we may be driving slowly is apt to lull
most Of us into a false sense of security.
The less apprehensive we are of danger the
more careless we become. Eternal vigilance
is the price Of safety. Auto driving can never
be made fool proof like the machine enclosed
ings, while desirable in cities and on danger
GUS curves, can never be applied generally.
There are 251 ,939 highway crossings on the
principal railroads alone. They are being elm
mated at the rate Of 400 year. At that rate it
would take 629 years to remove all the cross
ings at cost computed at $12, SOC, 000, 900 Per-
| sonal and never tagging caution is the real
curb for auto accidents-and all others.
