DRIVERS ivjvRE
RAILROAD Gates
Motorists Begin to Realize There
Is More Room Behind a
Train Than in Front.

The great volume of propaganda
directed at the evils of carelessneSs
when II Railroad Crossing-Stop,
Look, Listen sign looms up has
brought most motorists to a realization
that there is more room behind a train
than before 1t. 1t is with something
of a shock then that one reads a re-
port of the Chicago safety council
showing that q per cent Of the motor
lists who approach railway crossings
ca~relessly are so blindly impatient and
foolhardy that they damage the cross
ing protection equipment provided in
an effort to make the dangerous spots
foolproof.
Drivers In Haste.
Railroad crossing watchmen Of 16
roads In and about Chicago last year
reported 367 cases Of careless driving
at their crossings to the safety council.
OF these reports 107. Or 81 per cent,
indicate that the drivers were in such
haste to get ver the tracks-to beat
the train to It," that they damaged the
equipment provided to keep the cross
ings safe. Disregarding warning bells
and the whistles Of the watchmen,
many Of them kept going even after
the crossing gates had started to de-
scend. It is this type of driver that
causes the safety engineer to tear his
hair and have a moment Of terrible
doubt as to whether trying to save life
is worth while.
Fifty Per Cent in Some Cases.
In some cases the number of In
stances in which the gates were dam
aged amounts to more than so per
cent. The Chicago and Western
Indiana reported 80 cases, of which II
resulted in damaged equipment, indi-
eating that a driver tried to beat the
gates. OF 60 cases reported by tho
Illinois Central, 35 showed damaged
gates. Eight out Of the II reported
by the North Shore Electric line were
damaged gates"
The work of the safety council has
done much to spread the careful
crossing idea effectively. Railroad
gatemen have been instructed b. their
officials to note the license nr'nber Of
any car driven carelessly at their
crossings. These reports so to the
safety council, which sends a letter to
the car owner calling attention to his
c~arelessness and asking for co-opera.

REMEDY SLIPPING FAN BELT
Ingenious Motorist overcomes Trouble
by Applying Little Compound to
the Surface.

One ingenious motorist who was
troubled with a slipping belt cured the
trouble by applying a little belt COM
pound to the pulley surfaces. Belt
compound, by the way, is a somewhat
sticky substance that is used in ma
chine shops, power plants and facto-
ries to insure the gripping Of the
pulley by the belt with sufficient force
to transmit the power without slip
ping. Just a trifing amount Of COM
pound Is enough for a fan belt. Often
1t may be obtained from a garage ma
chine shop, but If not there it will be
found almost anywhere that belts are
used. Such a small amount Is required
that 1t is not worth while to buy a can
Of it.-Scientifc American.

WHEN AN ENGINE OVERHEATS
Don't Blame Cooling System as Mix
ture Furnished by carburetor
May Be Cause.

Don't always blame the cooling sys-
tenn when the engine overheats. The
mixture supplied by the carburetor
may be causing the trouble, perhaps
being too rich. Possibly the spark is
not advanced far enough; maybe
the oiling system is clogged or for
some reason is not properly lubricat-
ing the mechanism of the power plant.
1t might even be possible that the IAN
belt is slipping, thus preventing the
fan from doing its full duty. Then
there are the brakes. They may be
dragging because the bands are too
tight, a condition which can be dis
covered only by jacking up the rear
wheels and noting whether or not
they turn freely.

ACCOUNTS GREAT
AID To ECONOMY
Keeping Track Of Expenses of
Household Supplements Rec
ordS of Farm Business.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Household accounts are valuable on
the farm as elsewhere, wen though
farm household expenses are very in
timately associated with the business
of the farm itself. The farm normally
supplies much material which other
wise would become a household ex-
pense. The household, in turn, very
often furnishes board for farm labor,
which would otherwise be a farm ex-
pense. Keeping track of household
expenses therefore supplements the
records of the farm business, points
out the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
More than this, household accounts
are an important aid to economy. The
first step toward saving lies usually
in finding out where Unnecessary ex-
penses are incurred. 1t Is important,
therefore, to ~analyze or classify the
expenditures and go over them care
fully at the end Of regular periods.
One way of doing this Is to record all
purchases when money Is paid out and
then make up a monthly statement
for each kind or class of expenditure.
Another method Is to enter every
thing In a column at one side Of q
broad page, and at the same time en-
ter the amounts again in the columns
for each class. This system makes it
possible to find out at any time the
amount being spent for any given kind
of purchase, and the monthly totals
are easy to add up.
Book Not Important.
The kind of a book to use is not
important. Each family will have n
different way of classifying its ex-
penses. An ordinary ruled, square
blank book bound at the left side Is
usually satisfactory for dividing of
into columns according to the needs
Of the individual family. To avoid

"Thlrd-When a passenger Of

"Fourth-Beware the wander
