Grade Crossing Problem
To Get More Attention

The Interstate Commerce commits
sion has recommended that the rail-
roads concentrate their attention and
resources on doing away with dan
gerous grade crossings instead of
spending further money on installa-
ton of train control devices.
In the years 1923 to 1927 inclusive,
there were 11,4S5 killed and 32,99S
injured in grade crossing accidents.
In the same period there were 1,484
killed and 1878 injured in rail COLI
sions and derailments.
In other words there were more
than seven times as many killed and
nearly twice as many injured in
crossing accidents as in accidents ON
the railroads. Any given sum of
money, it is believed, will prevent
many more accidents if spent on grade
separations than if spent on railroad
safety appliances.

came down in sheets, the wind howled
and shrieked, and the crashes of
thunder came quickly after each
flash of lightning.
Mary cried from fear, and Peter,
given the job of holding the nearly
handle-less umbrella over the heads
of himself and her, was about to do
the same.
Suddenly gust of wind caught the
umbrella out of his wet and cold
hands and sent it out into the lake,
where it sailed away like a small

Everybody's talking about the new
Ford cars and the Jones family. de-
cided to trade in their old Lizzie
for one of those new, graceful, dainty
revelations.
But then the big question was;
Which one should it be? Father Jones
was in favor of a roadster. It's cheap
and besides: He likes to drive about
sometimes all by himself, and then
that little car is so sporty looking and
nifty.
Mrs. Jones, second head of the
Jones household, would like better
to get bigger car. The new tour
ing is beautiful, and costs but little
more than the roadster; so she could
not see why they should not take
that.
But then, as you all know, women
folks don't know anything much about
anything. anyway. They just like to
talk and want to have an opinion
about everything. Lucky then the
woman who has received from the
hand of providence man who knows.
Mrs. Jones had that, but queerly
enough, she didn't always seem to
appreciate the fact as she ought to.
The rest of the Jones family, two
lively youngsters named Mary and

Wouldn't it be just wonderful to ride
in the rumble seat. Oh, boy.
To make long story short: Mr..
Jones disappeared one day with the
old touring car and came back with
a new roadster.
Oh, how shining and Offering and
beautiful it was. Mother and the chill
dren listened awesticken, while ia
Their, strutting around like turkey
gobbler, talked and explained.
The next day being Sunday, it was
decided that the family have a picnic
at the lake shore about thirty miles
away. The roadster would make those
thirty miles in mo time," you bet.
Mrs. Jones made sandwiches, and
filled baskets with all sorts of pro-
visions for days outing. And last
of all, she brought out an umbrella.
Mr.. Jones laughed scornfully: who
ever heard of taking an umbrella
along on an automobile ride. But
women are queer, most of them any
way, and Mrs. Jones is one of those
funny, oldfashioned people who are
always thinking of safety, in one form
or another. Those people are a nuis-
ance. Perhaps you have met some of
them, sometimes-then you know.
Mr. Jones pressed his bulky figure
in behind the wheel, and Mrs. Jones,
assured that her offspring were al
right in the rumble, got in beside
him.
Here was already one fly in the
ointment. Mr.. Jones was quite a big
man, and his better half was little
more than stylishly stout. In fact, she
was fat. So when she got her two
hundred odd pounds in and the door
was shut well, Mr.. Jones realized
quickly that it was quite difference
