and just when l reached the corner

I went back to the original group

who this man had described rs the

Luckily, one of them was still there
and he told me practically the same
story as the driver had told.
I then informed the man he could go
home, after first taking his name and

The ambulance had, of course, taken
the boys body to the hospital first, so

CROSSING BARRIER
QUESTION WATCHED
Decision of Supreme Court
ON Guarding by FIagmen
and Devices Awaited.

The question as to whether modern
mechanical devices furnish greater
safety to motorists at grade CROSSINGS
than human watchmen. swinging the
familiar flags and red lanterns, has
been presented to the Supreme Court Of
the United States in case just argued
before that tribunal.
Great Importance is attached to the
forthcoming decision of the court by
the American Motorists Association be-
cause of the far-reaching effect it may
have upon existing municipal ordi-
nances which fail to distinguish between
mechanical and human" watchmen
at dangerous grade crossings Where
grade crossings cannot be eliminated,
for one reason or another, every mo-
torist is vitality interested In making
such crossings just as safe as possible,
the association believes.
Death Of Motorist Involved.
The case before the court arose in
Tennessee. 1t involves the death Of a
motoriSt at grade crossing where the
railroad company replaced q human
Waterman with electrical alarm devices
~ NOAotAOA VI q GlIy OIulnduCS. ne
ordinance was upheld by the State Su-
preme Court and the railroad company
appealed.
The old ordinance requiring human
fiagmen to protect grade crossings in
stead Of mechanical "f1agmen," which
are more efficient and economical. Is so
arbitrary as to lack due process Of law
and is burden on interstate commerce,
the railroad company argues.
Protection OF grade crossings Is one Of
the most obvious uses Of police power
and the State is empowered to say In
what manner crossings shall be guarded,
it was argued in support Of the ordi-
nance.
Crossing Elimination Urged.
From the standpoint of the motor
ist, it is desirable that most grade
crossings be eliminated" Thomas j.
Keefe. general manager Of the associa-
ton, declares. I'm many cases, espe-
cially in cities, 1t is not practical to
eliminate some grade crossings, and In
these cases the motorist Is vitality con-
cerned as to the most adequate protec-
ton that can be employed to prevent
crossing accidents. Almost without ex-
ception every city in the United States
has city ordinances governing the pro-
lection of grade crossings, and the de-
ciSion of the United States Supreme
Court. settling the question raised in
the Tennessee case, will be Of interest
not only to the motorist, but to city
councils" Mr.. Keefe points out.
