Common Sense At
Grade Crossing
"Not least among the prob
lems encountered in the effort
to reduce automobile accidents
is that of the railroad grade
crossing, with its annual toll of
approximately 2,000 lives and
some 6,000 non-fatal casual
ties," says Insurance Field.
Common sense would counsel
that a man stop and look before
crossing a railroad track. As
automobile drivers will not do
this voluntarily, why not make
it unlawful to cross a track with
out coming to a dead stop. This
would certainly be a humanita
rian piece of legislation, and
would be no expense to the tax
payers. ,As a matter of fact it
■would be a money maker for
public treasuries due to fines
collected for failure to obey the
law. Most of all, the lives of
many persons would be saved
who would otherwise carelessly
cross the track.
Those states which have stop
laws have reduced the number
of casualties at grade crossings.
Georgia should enact such a
law.

New York has been celebrating
the 100th birthday of Fifth A.ve

worth 14 million dollars.

In its campaign urging more citi

were given, in which a single vote
swayed elections.
Now that the ballots are counted
and checked, a 1924 illustration
comes to light. In Indiana, Judge
Willoughby was re elected to the

only one vote. He got 601.?61 vote".
His opponent got 601 860.
