MANY CRASH CROSSING GATES
Is Broken Every Day-Orivers
Want to Beat Trains.

Thousands of motorists annually
smash through\ gates at railroad
crossings in the United States. This
fact indicates two sides to the grade.
crossing argument.
On the Long Island railroad, which
has only 400 miles of track, one grade
crossing gate is broken practically
every day in the year by motor driv-
ers who attempt to cheat trains to
crossings"
In the last year there were approx
rlately 300 of such accidents on this
line alone. according to Z. =. Brennan,
safety agent. From August 10 to 20
of this year there were 10 such mis-
haps on this road, resulting in inju-
ries 10 many persons. One was killed.
Railroads of the United States are
In a campaign to cut down accidents
of all kinds, including those at grade
crossings. Motorists are asked to en-
' ter this campaign and aid in making
our highways safer by constant vigi-
lance.
How in the name of heaven" said
Mr. Brennan, "can the Long Island or
any other railroad render safe and
prompt service to its patrons when the
public highways are infested with
motorcar drivers who refuse to exer-
else caution when approaching rail-
road grade crossings, who gloat over
the fact that they beat the train to
these intersections and who are daily
apparently willing to sacrifice not only
their own lives but the lives of those
intruSted to their care"

ROAD
BUILDING
CLEAN MATERIALS FOR ROAD
suIlder Gets Perfect Concrete Asare-
gates Along Route Of Job by
Ingenious Method.

Elimination of the long haul with
the assurance at the same time that
sand and gravel used in concrete road
construction would be thoroughly clean
and free from organic impurities was
achieved in an ingenious and economic
manner on section of the Denver
Morrison highway. Comparatively shall
low deposits of both required compo-
nents Of the aggregate to be used In
mixing this concrete were discovered
In the bed of small stream which
flowed within a quarter Of a mile of
the Job.
Ane contractor determined to utilize
this natural deposit rather than incur
the expense and loss of time incident
to purchase or preparation Of the ag-
gregates in town and consequent long
haul to the mixer. AS it was necessary
to wash and screen his aggregates as
we'll as to elevate for loading into
trucks, the contractor decided to at
tempt these operations all in one
move If possible.
Accordingly he obtained a six-inch
centrifugal pump and about 800 feet
Of six-inch iron pipe. A small stump or
pit was excavated in the bed Of the
stream and the intake of the centrifu-
gal pump was laid in this pit. The
bottom of this pit was below the level
Of the ground water in the gravel bar
or bed of the creek. The pump took
in water, sand and pebbles as large as
three inches in diameter from this
stump and delivered them through the
discharge line which was approx
mately 700 feet in length to a fiat
screen on top of the bins.
The supply of sand and stone In the
stump was continuously renewed by
means Of horse-drawn slip scrapers.
A screen composed of flat bars was
placed across the top of the stump to
eliminate intake of oversize stones
which could not be handled by the
pump. At the end of the delivery line,
the water, sand and stone were dis
charged upon a flat screen having
square three-eighths of an inch mesh
opening. The water and sand, OF

TRANSPORT PRIMER PRAISED
Book Prepared by Educational Com
mittee to Be Translated for
Use of High Schools.

Prompted by the success of the edu
cational outline on highway transport
prepared for university use under
their direction by Prof. Lewis McIn-
tyre, the officials of the highway and
highway transport education commit
tee have now turned to Professor
Buckner of the sci ". of education of
the University Of Pittsburgh to trans
late the book into language designed
for use by high school students
throughout the country.
The new pamphlet will be prepared
in cooperation with officials of the
United States bureau of public roads,
the United States bureau of education
and other organizations represented
on the committee, and will be the first
comprehensive effort to place the sub
ject of highway transport before the
high school students Of the country.

Radio and Wires Will Work
Together in Future.

IT has recently appeared that the
public also demands the broadcast
ong of all sorts of information and
entertainment 1t is doubtful if
there will be fewer newspapers, fewer
colleges, fewer churches or fewer
theaters, but there is no doubt that
radio broadcasting will be developed
far beyond our present knowledge
and have an important place in the
civilization OF the future. A pro-
phccy OF the progress that will be
made in this direction would be all
the more interesting perhaps be
cause it would be without historic
basis. Telephoning by radio be
tween ship and shore and across
oceans is an accomplished fact and
can be made available when the
public demand is sufficient to over
throw the technical, political and
economic difficulties.
If radio had been invented first,
the invention OF wire telephony
would have been considered Won
derful improvement, because it ena-
ables a iWn to direct his voice to the
particular person desired Coming
later than the telephone, radio
seems destined to fill different
field and as it is developed it may
materially work in closer relation
ship Vith the present intercommuni-
eating telephone system.
Technical men are now cndeavor-
ing to secure for radio a freedom
from static interference, to give it
directional control and reasonable
degree of privacy. When these
problems are solved every Bell telc-
phone user may have his wire CON
nccted, not only with any American
home, but, as far as the limits of
ether will permit, to airplanes, ships
and the distant capitols of other
countries.

the larger pebbles rolled on over it
and thence into bin for pebbles.
Below the first screen was a sand
settling box. The water and sand fell
into this box and the sand being
heaviest, Immediately settled to the
bottom while the water carrying the
dirt and silt escaped through a waste
way in the top of the box AS the
sand accumulated in the bottom, it
was discharged through gates at pc
riodic intervals INTO the sand cOmpart-

Development Of Radio Systems
Science Is Endeavoring to Per-
tect Inventions Which Will
Let Us Talk as Far as Limits
of Ether.
Written Specially for the Leader
By H. B. Thayer
President American Telephone Co.
Autocaster Service

New York, February 22.,-Any fore
cast OF the future achievements of sci
ence in the development of electrical
communication is likely to be made
quate. Certainly marvellous develop
ments may be confidently expected
on the basis of our past experience.
Fifty Years ago the telephone was un-
known, as many of us remember. The
telegraph is only little older, and
wireless is little brother to them
both, being scarcely of voting age. Yet
today we see moore than 100000
telephones connected with the Bell
System, and hardly corner of the
earth that is not reached by wire or
wireless telegraphy.
Development Will Nett
Public Requirements
This is the practical age and it is
likely that the developments of the
future will be chiefly along the fines
of the public's requirements.
We know pretty definitely that
the public demands a vast system
of intercommuncation so that any
person can talk to any oother person.
no matter how distant, promptly
and privately To meet that de-
mand we have strung nearly thirty
million miles of wire and invested
nearly two billion dollars in tele-
phone plant and property. But in
spite of incessant work the race
with demand continues and as we
believe will continue for years to
come. 1t can never be met by more
construction, but must be met, and
we are constantly meeting it by
means of improvements and techni-
,al developments linked with prac-
'ical experience.
When we consider the younger
field of radio, the future is not so
lear. The radio telegraph has al
ready proved itself on shipboard,
and ocean travel is UNNECESSARILY
safer because of it.
The captain of a meodern shrip is
i'll CONSTANT communication both

He gets weather reports as regu
larly as anyone on land In trouble
he instantly calls for help or ia sum
moned to aid other vessels in dis
tress. In cloudy weather when the
sun cannot be seen he can get his
exact position by means OF wireless
shore stations.
The radio telegraph, moreover, is
aheady an important factor in
transoceanic communication. Islands
and isolated spots where wires are
not practical, Will also be within its
scope, apd will he CONNECTED with
the great centers of population.
The public clearly demands these
developments with the minimum de-
gree of usefulness and economy that
can be achieved with the aid OF sci

recommend acceptance of the offer The
recommendations were to be made by

The committee. after lengthy con-

that the land could be sold without
