ACCIDENTS increase
DESPITE CAMPAIGN

In spite of the most extensive edu-
cational campaign against railroad
highway crossing accidents ever car
ried on, figures just compiled by the
insurance department of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad system show that in
June, July and August, of this year,
such casualties increased 80 per cent,
as compared with last season, accord
ing to an announcement from the
local office.
The period covered embraces the
first three months of the National
Careful Crossing Campaign" in which
railroads of the United States have
joined in efforts to make plain the de-
plorable results of carelessness. Dur
ing the three months on the Pennsyl-
vania System alone, there were 107
crossing accidents, in which II per-
sons were killed and lis injured.
That this years large increase in
these casualties is charged almost en-
tirely to growth in the reckless and
inexperienced driving of automobiles
is shown by the fact that casualties at
highway crossings from all other
causes combined decreased.
