GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENTS PROBLEM
OF AMERICAN RAIL WAY ASSOCIATION

Possible means of reducing the
number of highway grade crossing
accidents which in 1926 took .2,492
lives and manned 6,991 persons, was
the principal subject of discussion at
the seventh annual meeting of the
Safety Section of the American Rail
way association at the Palmer House
in Chicago, Tuesday April 10. The
meeting, which is attended by prom
inent safety men from all the rail-
roads in the United States and
Canada, adjourns today.
! In view of the increase Of nearly
800 fatalities in 1926 over the yea.
| before due to such accidents togethe-
with the constant increase in tn
number Of automobiles in use, thi
subject is recognized as one Of thu
foremost problems that face the rail
roads today.
In connection with an in addition
I to the methods already ip force to
provide greater safety at grade cross
ings and in order to create increased
interest on the part of both the rail
roads and the public in the necessity
for continued care being exercised at
highway grade crossings, the rail-
roads this year will conduct an inten-
sive campaign in an effort to reduce
the number Of such accidents. Plans
were discussed at the Chicago meet
ing for this campaign.
AS part of that campaign, thu
American Railway association has al
ready inaugurated an essay contes
among college, high school and gram
mar school students with three casE
prizes of $3.50 each to be awarded tn.

standing readily available suggestion
for preventing such accidents. The

in approaching and passing over
railroad crossings. The contest wi.

judges and who will be announced
later
In 1926 there were 1921 highway
grade crossing accidents compared
with 5,479 in 1926. In 1920, 4,226 ac-
cidents were reported. While the num-
Der of grade crossing accidents has
not increased as rapidly since 1920
as the number of automobile acci-
dents on the highways, railroad Off
Gals believe considerable proportion
of the accidents at railroad crossings
can be prevented if adequate precau-
tons are taken at such places. While
the entire elimination of grade cross
ings would be the ideal solution of the
problem, this is both physically and
financially impossible.
Marked progress has already been
made by the roalroads in an effort to
provide greater protection at grade
crossings. Safety devices of various
kinds have been installed while obs
structions which obscure view OF,
the tracks have been removed. In adj
,dition many other steps have been
taken to increase the safety of the
public at crossings. Enginemen are
also devoting more attention than
ever before to the giving of adequate
warning when their trains approach
grade crossings and are doing every
thing possible to avoid accidents at
these points.
Greater realization on the part of
the motorist, however, that he, too,
must cooperate with the railroads and
use increased care in approaching
grade crossings is necessary.
In conducting the campaign the
railroads hope to impress on the pub
J lie the necessity for continued pre-
caution being exercised at grade
crossings and that, if there is to be a
reduction in the number of such ac-
cidents, motorists and carriers must
cooperate to still greater extent in
order to bring about the greater
safety possible at those crossings.

Grounds to
Be Started Soon

Members of Boy"G -s:en post,
American Legion, plan to begin
work soon on the erection of a club
house and a swimming pool on the
tract Of land which they recently
purchased just north of the city
limits and fronting on Imperial
avenue. The post is planning gen
cral development Of the tract into
, playground for the city but hopes
to have the clubhouse and pool com
pleted by next spring.
The legion will reserve only the
clubhouse as a private part of tn.
tract, throwing the remainder OF
the equipment which will be install
led open to the public as we'll as
members of the legion. A portion
of the tract will be set aside for
the boy scouts, and another portion
for the girl reserves.

property into sections for various

The plans then go on to extend
the development of the land. In
one of these outlines space is pro

within. This is the only differing
feature in the two ideas but calls
for the shifting about of the space

plan of action.

The Inquiring Reporter touched
on one Of the moot questions Of the
times when she put her daily ques-
ton to FL Centre citizens last night.
The question was:
What are your views on women
smoking?'
The women who own pretty cigar
cite holders and can exhale a blue
spiral without coughing, got off to
a poor start when the interviews
began.
81 don t allow my women to do
it!' declared one gentleman, who
said his name should be put down
as "AntiNicotine. - "Of course
they don't want to anyway" he
added naively. Its getting so
about the only thing the men can
do that the women don t try is to
raise a moustache!'
r. F. Barber paused long enough
to take a cigarette from his case.
