her name was really May Bell. She

a brother named Door Bell. But
Nav Bell was the cutcst and littlest

SO when these two little tykes of
rabbit boys went up to the yard
where May Bell was playing and
asked her to come advcnturing with
them, of course she went. Deep
into the woods Tooter and Scooter
led MAY Bel, until they come to 4

when the little pussy girl was fast

GRADE CROSSING
ELIMINATION IS
A TIME SAVER

While the saving of human life is
always of primary consideration. an
important argument for the elimi-
nation of grade crossings that has
recently developed is that eff de-
lay and Inconvenience to automo-
bile transportation, according to
engineering department of the Auto
mobile Club of Southern California.
Although the majority of grade
crossings that have been eliminated
in Southern California to date. ac.
cording to the club engineers, have
been removed for purposes of great
er safety to motorists, many cross
ings of highways over a railroad are
guarded by protection gates and
Waterman, so that the question of
safety Is relatively Enimportant.
But in these instances, it is stated,
the delay TO vehicular traffic occa-
stoned by the lowering of gates and
the passing of trains amounts to
several hours at practically every
crossing, every day.
At many crossings in Los Angeles
county alone the traffic over the
railway exceeds $1,000 vehicles a
day, it is pointed out, so that the
delay to motorists is apparent when
it is considered that protection gates
at some of the crossings are closed
as many as 20 times day.
Many Examinations Made
Traffic delay has been "a consid-
GRAFTON in many of the recommenda-
tlons for grade crossing separations
of the engineering department of
the auto club to the state railroad
commission. Many notable grade
crossing climinations have been
made within recent months after in
Vcstigation and recommendation
made BY this department of the big
motoring organization. Included in
these are the eliminations on Re
dondo Boulevard in Los Angeles
county over tho Santa Fc railroad
harbor extension, on tho coast high
way across the San Diego Electric
line between San Diego and La
Jolia, and on Telegraph road over
the Union Pacific and Santa Fc
railways. The separation over Tele-
graph road were made after study
aud reports of the situation by the
auto club engineering department
and the Los Angeles county grade
crossing committee
As Il result of the agitation for
grade separations, a number of i'm
Portant climinations have been
made in and adjaccnt to Southern
California. Notable instances are
those on the coast highway near
Cardiff and on the National Old
Trails highway near Orc Grandc.
Through the construction of new
strip Of highway three vital scpara.
