MANY CARS FAIL
TO BEAT TRAINS
More Than l 900 Autos Fliv-
vered in Dash to
Crossings.

More than 1000 automobiles last
year crashed into trains, stated NJ. o.
LOrenz, director, bureau of statistics,
of Interstate Commerce commission,
when he addressed the sixteenth an
nual safety congress. He said in
part:
. Deaths at Crossings.
"One of the reasons for concerning
ourselves about the number of persons
that die each year In various classes
OF railway accidents is that effort
may be concentrated on the types of
accidents that occasion especially
large numbers of deaths. One may
discover from casual reading of the
newspapers that there are frequent
deaths at grade crossings; but tits
only after statistics have been COM
piled that one can make the general
statement that of the 1000 persons
Killed in connection with the opera
ton of steam railways in 1926, 1888,
or 1871 per cent, were nontrespassers
at grade crossings and 1923, or $40
per cent, were classified as trespassers
on the right of way; so that, taking
these two groups together we may say
that 1867 per cent of the railroad
fatalities occur because people, other
than passengers or employees on duty,
are on your right of way at the wrong
time.
Many Dangerous Crossings.
There were, at the close of 1926
27,S47 protected and 2O6l432 unpro-
tected highway grade crossings with
steam railroads. 1t seems hopeless to
make them all fool proof, but doubt
less there are thousands of dangerous
crossings which would be eliminated
or more adequately protected next year
If the funds were available. Here is
a magnificent enterprise which re-
quires the cooperation of the rail-
roads, the newspapers, the school
teacher, the legislator, the inventor,
and the rest of the public. When we
consider that in 1926 over 1000 acct
dents, involving 225 deaths and 1856
injuries, occurred because automobiles
were run into the side of train, we
can appreciate the fact that educating
drivers to be careful is one of the most
important features of the accident
problem"

Escaping Oil Reduces
Efficiency of Brakes

1t is important to prevent the es-
cape of lubricant from the differen.
tial housing, because it will accumu-
late on the brakes and reduce their
efficiency. While it is difficult to
overcome leakage due to an excess
sive supply, if reasonable precaution
is taken in reassembling the axle, the
housing may be made leak-proof..
Leakage is usually caused by worn
felt washers in the stuffing box which
is intendedJto form the lubricant seal.
1t is advisable, therefore, to replace
the felt washers and other worn
parts of the lubricant seal when diff
ferential repairs are being made.
Owing to the Importance of this
feature the slightest amount of wear
evident will justify replacement of
the parts. The shaft on which the
parts bear should be smooth so that
it will not wear the seal away and
cause the leak to appear again.
The above covers the principal trou.
bles which may arise in the differen-
tial; however, there are others which
may also cause excessive wear in the
gears and bearings. The most seri-
Gus of these is sprung axle housing,
which has tendency to cramp the
bearings and distort the gears, caus-
ing rapid wear.

We went downstairs and out Of the
house in silence, and as we moved
down the path we were instantly chal-
lenged by Mallory, who came running
up to US.
"Where's Wilkins" he asked. "What
have you done with him."
Lost him." said Ashton sourly.
"But he can't have got out Of the
house." protested Mallory. I'm sure
nobody has got out of the house."
"We've lost him, / tell you," said
Ashton. Cant you understand plain
English?"
We all halted just then, and started,
little eXpectant. A mans footsteps
were approaching, and the next mo-
ment he halted, rather undecisively,
at the front gate. But seeing us, he
turned in and came promptly toward
us.
"Where's the car, gentleman" he
asked. "What have you done with the

'"rhe car-the automobile that |
drove you out in! Where is it?'

to that but silence. But the silence
and the dismayed establishment on our
faces, gave the man his answer.

The mans explanation trailed off
volubly--protesting incoherent, but
we paid very little attention to it. We
knew what had happened, all too well.
"Well," said the doctor, IF Wilkins
only appreciated the fact, he owes us
a large debt of gratitude. We told
him about the map; and then we
brought the girl out to him, and left
her, together with an automobile for
him to disappear in"

Ashton turned away impatiently.

served exactly what he got-if may
be allowed that opinion, sir. Circum-
stances may have justified him In kill
ing Captain Franklin; indeed, there is
no doubt that it had to be one or the
other Of them; and in robbing him Of
his money and his map, he only did
what others, perhaps, would have done
in his place. But he did an inexcus-
able thing, when he lodged an infor-
nation with the authorities against
the rest of us. The act was not neces-
sary to his escape, for he could have
got off scotfree anyway. But he
wanted Franklin's treasure all to him

CHAPTER XII

The Doctors prediction regarding
the escape Of wilkins and the girl
came true. It was oil of twenty-four
hours before the wires were working
again; and the search, which could not
fairly begin until that time, proved
absolutely futile. The automobile
was found next day, very early in the
morning, standing in trent of the
Western station, the very place where
we had started in it on our ride to
Oak Ridge. But the oddly assorted
pair, who must have driven back to
town in it that night, disappeared as
completely as If the earth had swal-
lowed them up.
It was long while before Ashton
would admit the probability, or even
the possibility, that he had lost them.
Their escape must have ranked, for
he never, voluntarily, spoke of the
Oak Ridge affair, and he treated all
reference to it, however indirect, in a
manner which did not encourage dis
cussion.
l think that, in his heart, Doctor
McAlister found it impossible to be
sorry that wilkins had got off. 1t is
one thing to know, as a matter of
fact, that man is knave and that
he richly deserves to be hung; but it
is another thing to wish, devOutly, for
such a contamination. We had liked
wilkins, and the strange. uncanny
revelations regarding his past, which
the Doctors merciless instruments had
betrayed to us, were not strong enough
to change that liking.
What we regretted most, in our dis.
cussions over the affair, was our frag-
mentary knowledge Of it. One thing
certain about 1t all seemed to be that
we should never know.
But in that conclusion, strangely
enough we were wrong. Only a few
days ago (and it is now more than
two years since the events have here
chronicled took place. the doctor came
into my office waving letter.
"Look at the handwriting first" he

But as gazed, some vague sugges-
tion of delicate French potages and en-
trees came into my mind. started,

respectable life. 1t pays just as
well as the other and it's much more
comfortable. This may surprise you,
but it's true-I do not refer to the
tips earned as head waiter at The
Meredith. That was not my trade so
much as it was my recreation. In my
youth l made the acquaintance of a
palm reader and spiritualist, and this
was the profession took upon coming
to your city. 1t was not long before
l was able to organize this industry
and to hire others to do the actual
work. l supervised 1t all, and as head
waiter at The Meredith, was able to
learn much about our smart people,
which could be told to them again by
palmists and mediums, with very good
effect.

A medium l employed, whose apart

discovered her, and was using her
trance states very effectively as a

my life the first time ever heard her

valuable. and got her employed as

Engine Stops Suddenly

When the engine stops suddenly
with no preliminary coughing and
splitting, the trouble is with the igni-
ton. A wire may be short circuited,
o connection loose: the magnetic may
fail to trip properly, or the spark
plug short circuit as soon as it gets
hot. If the engine first coughs and
splits and then stops, the trouble is
in the fuel line, the valves, or the
fabrication. If the valves stick, 1t
will show by the lack Of compression

Papers Protect Glass
While Painting Auto

A spray gun is often used in paint
ing cars, and if the paint comes in
contact with the glass, 1t means a few
hours additional work to clean it. This
trouble can be prevented by the use Of
old newspapers and adhesive or fric-
ton tape. The sheets of paper are held
against the glass and the tape is used
as binding that fits closely along the

edges Of the glass, leaving none of 1t
exposed. When the tenders are to be
painted in color differing from that
of the body, the same plan may be
used to prevent the paint from getting
on the parts that are not to be paint
ed. Sheets Of tin, about s by 10 inches
in dimensions, are inserted between
the running-bOard shields and the
body. This idea Is applicable whether
you use brush or spray, and will
