MOTORING weather is here.
.1Vl So is the season for grade crossing
accidents.
The average person is awed by such dis
asters as the recent Illinois storm, yet
gives but scant attention to grade cross
ing dangers.
Yet almost three times as many persons
were killed in grade crossing accidents in
1924 as were killed by the tornado. A to-
tai of 2,149 lost their lives.
We can do nothing to prevent storms.
And what we do to prevent grade crossing
accidents is all too little, largely because,
being scattered, it is difficult to center the
public mind on them.
