Repeated. investigation of acci- dents at places where highways cross railways at grade show that many of these accidents are due to the failure of drivers to slow down as they ap- proach the crossings. For this rea- son some public officials believe that the roads should be so constructed at the most dangerous crossings that rate. The California of cities and counties six plans for accomplishing "this, with arequest {that they be tried or at least criti- cized. In each case there is a con- dle of the road near or at the cross- Eh ing, and the driver must swerve to one side to reach the track. In some of the plans the driver must make an abrupt right-hand turn and an- | other left-hand turn before the track is, reached, so that slowing down is compulsory and not voluntary.

It has been found that at least a half dozen of the big automobile fac- tories of America are able to build the highly specialized French air- plane engines. It is the idea of en- gine experts that machinery for air- plane motor construction soon will be perfected to a point where it will be possible to turn out engines in great numbers. It is believed at least 25,000 engines will be ordered under the present appropriation and that 25,000 airplanes will be built '| within this appropriation. At the end of six months the capacity to turn . out airplanes will be limited, in the belief of experts, only by the amount company at Jonesville, La.
