Trains cannot stop at every crossing if they are ito be run at the sustained speed expected by the public and required to carry the commerce of the country. The train crosses a highway about every mile. The mo- torist encounters a railroad only occasionally. Itis therefore, for the automobile driver to stoz in order to avoid risk. No one who did this was ever killed. In North Caro- lina, where the law now requires such a stop, the number of road crossing accidents on our lines has been reduced one-half. Grade crossing accidents can be prevented if you will approach the zone of danger deter- mined to exercise caution For Your Own Protection. §1.98 Fine Lace Curtams, $1.50 lace edges; 21§ Tan and Blatk With Rubber Heels | Sizes 10 to 13%4, 1to6 Girls’ Dress and School Shoes Tan and Black 35c Boys' Heavy Hose, 25¢ Past, deep black, extra ‘elastic_ribbed: made.
