ELIMINATION OF GRADE CROSSINGS GRAVE PROBLEM According to published records, 2268 persons were killed and 6314 injured at grade crossings in the United States during the year 1923 and in the past five years 9101 have been killed and 24,208 injured. The average person does not give much thought to statistics. If by chance, he happens to note a card setting forth the appalling facts, he merely classifies it with other nonimportant notices. But the above figures are significant. Any of us may be next. And despite the fact that it is incumbent upon every driver to be positive that there is no train wanting to use the crossing at the same time he does, obviously, there is but one solution for this nationwide menace, and that is, separation of grades. Stages, school buses and trucks are now compelled by law to stop upon approaching railroad crossings. Drivers of these vehicles, however, go on from month to month, perfunctorily stopping and starting without accident, until the duty becomes so mechanical that drivers come to consider the stopping their primary duty, while, as a matter of fact, the purpose is to ascertain whether or not a train is approaching. It is no uncommon thing to note the driver of a motor bus or truck come to his prescribed stop and then start across the track without looking in either direction. Signal bells, signs, warnings—all are of no avail unless the brain is used. The obstacle in the way of grade separations is cost. There are two counties of Orange, State of California.

Signal bells, signs, warnings—all are of no avail unless the brain is used. The obstacle in the way of grade separations is cost. There are two types of grade separations: the overhead crossing or the subway. Except where natural physical conditions warrant, for example, depressed railroad tracks or tracks cut through a rut, construction of subways is preferable. In level country, especially in built up areas, an overhead crossing is unsightly, obscures the light and detracts from the value of surrounding property. A long, high trestle is not comparable with a concrete subway built on easy grades and adequate curves. Divergencies from the common grade elevation are also much more favorable for construction of subways than overhead crossings; the former being 14 feet (California Railroad Commission Rules) below structure girders, whereas with the overhead crossing 22 feet above the rails is required. In the opinion of the writer the California Highway Commission has no more important problem than the elimination of these death traps. LEGION NOTES The American Legion after January 1, 1925, will take over the financing of its rehabilitation and liaison for disabled former service men in which for the past three years, it has been assisted by the American Red Cross, according to an announcement made by James K.

It came from everywhere. That money was swindled out of people in every state, every county, every town and city. It didn't come from any particular region. It was taken from the folks who needed HOMES, from farmers who needed BARNS, from unfortunates here, there and everywhere who were actually in need of many, many things in the line of shelter. At $5000 each that money would have built 100,000 beautiful home would have provided shelter of an attractive character for half a million people. Make up your mind that the best investment you can make for yourself and your family is in a HOME. If you already have a Home you can help others get one by placing your surplus funds with the Building and Loan Association, at six per cent and you get your interest check regularly each quarter, without having to think of the details.
