MOTORIST is GUILTY
Superior Court Ruling on
Motorists Responsibility
While Crossing Railroads.

Responsibilities of motorlst
at railroad crossing says the Mil
waukee Journal, are set forth IN
a decision of the New York SUI
preme court. The question was
whether a motorist who had not
ed the disc warning, had listened
and, hearing no train, had rolled
down onto the crossing which
passed through a cut, only to be
smashed by an oncom1ng train,
had discharged his responsibilities
sufficiently by the act of listening.
The court held that he had not;
that hearing is an unsafe protec-
ton. and that it was his duty,
when he was in the act of crossing
the tracks, to be under such
speed that he could stop instantly.
He was held to be guilty of con-
tributory negligence and was de
MED damages.
Scores of crossings in Wisconsin
present the same problem to the
motorist. He has seen the warn
ing sign down the road and is on
the alert, but because of embank-
ments he cannot see whether there
is an approaching train. This IS
especially true in the case of ell
ectric trains, which make no smoke
and little noise. 1t is only when
he is within a few feet of the
track that sight becomes a factor
in his safety. At this point the
rules laid down by the New York
court say that he must be pro-
ceeding so slowly that should there
be an oncoming train he can stop
before he comes within the limits
of the narrow strip occupied by
a passing train at a time when he
could collide with it,
If so strict rule is laid down
by the courts, then it is clear that
in many cases there can be no
recovery for damages. Most mo-
florists do not approach a danger
Gus crossing that way. But from
the standpoint of public safety the
big question is not so much dam
ages after an accident has hap
pened as it is prevention of acct
dents. In emphasizing that hear
ing must be supplemented by sight
and that in approaching the cross
ing the driver must be under in
slant control until he can actual
ly see down the tracks, the court
has done a service to motorists.

Fattening the Milk Check.

Wisconsin may become a great
er dairy state through the valu-
able suggestion of ]. M. Smith, a
public spirited banker at Shell
Lake. Mr.. Smith wants to see the
state at the top in butter produc-
ton, so he started a little scheme
for improving the quality Of but
ter.
He asked a butter maker at one
of the upstate creameries to save
some of the best cream churn it
separately and mark the tubs of
butter so produced Two tubs of
butter were made from this cream,
and these Mr.. Smith sold to a
New York broker at IL cents a
pound more than the rest of this
creamery's butter brought.
The farmers whose cream had
been chosen as the best received
the additional IL cents a pound
for that butter. Then other farm
ers began to ask questions. They
wanted to know why some of their
neighbors got better returns and
they were told. They, of course,
were eager to get in on the addi-
tional profits.
AT the last report the movement
had grown to such an extent that
this creamery was able to make
25 per cent of it's total output
rank as extra fine butter. This
was also unsalted butter which re-
ceives a premium in price. The
last so tubs sold brought 572
cents above the price for creamery
extras.
The experiment looks so simple
that one wonders why it was not
tried years ago. Yet Mr.. Smith
was the first to try it. And he
further suggests a special brand
for this super-ine butter which
will make it known to the house
wife IN any part of the United
States as the markets choicest.
No doubt such a sales agency and
a judicious advertising campaign
can be mapped out. The big job
will be the individual work which
will have to be done in the nearly
1900 creameries in the state to
get their milk producers to live
up to the highest standards of
production of cream and milk.
But what is being done in one
creamery can be done slowly and
surely in 1900 creameries. Mr..
Smith points the Milwaukee
Journal.
