CROSSE 448 Logan Ave. Winnipeg, Man. APPALLING ® RECORD OF CARELESS DRIVING 4 12,500 persons were killed and 300,000 persons were injured in automobile accidents in the United States during the year 1921, and yet this appalling total seems likely to be exceeded in 1922. In spite of the most extensive edu- cational campaign against railroad highway crossing accidents ever car- ried on, figures just compiled by the Insurance Department of the Penn- sylvania Railroad System show that in June, July and August, of this year, such casualties increased 30 per cent, as compared with last sea- son. : The period covered embraces the first three months of the' National Careful Crossing Campaign," in which railroads of the United States have joined in efforts te make plain the deplorable results of carelessness. During the three months, on the Pennsylvania System alone, there were 107 crossing accidents, in which 71 persons were killed and 115 in-| ; jured. That this year's large inerease in these casualties is chargeable almost entirely to growth in the reckless and inexperienced driving of automobiles, is shown by the fact that casualties at highway crossings from all other _ causes combined decreased. : There were 85 automobile accidents at Pennsylvania Railroad crossings in the three months in question. They "caused the death of 56 persons, and * injury to 107 others, or an average of two personal casualties for each accident. Twelve of the accidents re- sulted in 39 deaths; four caused the death of 20 persons, or an average of five for each car involved. In two of the accidents, entire fam- ilies were wiped out. That these lives » were sacrificed to pure recklessness is particularly emphasized by the fact that in both instances the drivers of the cars lived close to the scenes of the accidents and were entirely fami- liar with the lay-out of the railroad tracks and roads over which they were driving. @ The responsibility of. automobile ivers for the safety of riders in eir cars is no less than that of lo- A comotive enginemen for the safety of their train passengers. It is, therefore," impressive to note that as against the lives lost in only three months by careless driving of motor cars over. tracks, there were no pas- sengers killed in train accidents any- where on the Pennsylvania Railroad System during the entire year ended May 31st, last. In that period no less than 1,400,000 passenger trains were operated and 152,000,000 = pas- sengers carried safely. The chief reason for this striking contrast is that locomotive engine- men are thoroughly trained in every to demonstrate knowledge and ability to operate trains safely before being entrusted with their handling. @ On the other hand, analysis of the causes of crossing accidents shows that the vast majority of motor car casualties at railroad highway cross- ings are attributable to a compara- tively small percentage of inexperi- enced and irresponsible automobile drivers who have neither the know- ledge training or judgment required for the safe operation of sych mach- ines. The result is often failure to exercise even the most ordinary pre- cautions necessary for the protection of life when approaching er driving over railroad tracks. Moreover, reckless driving of au- tomobiles is not confined to highway crossings. This is shown by the daily reports in the newspapers of accidents caused by driving automo- biles. into telegraph poles, or stone walls and by skidding, sideswiping, turning over and colliding. From this running chronicle of death and in- jury, the conclusion would seem war- ranted that what is needed at the present time is not merely a Careful Crossing Campaign to concentrate tttention on crossing accidents alone, but. a national campaigne carefully planned and directed against all forms of careless automobile driving.

Figures have been issued recently showing the accidents and casualties occurring on the Pacific system of the Southern Pacific Railway during the years 1918-1921. They are suffi- ciently impressive: 'Ran on track in front of train, 1,390; killed, 185; injured, 569. Ran: into side of train, 676; killed 18; injured, 253.

Total accidents, 2.15%; total killed, 208; total injured, If the danger to people driving automobiles recklessly was confined to such people one might be inclined to view the situation with compara- tive equanimity, but the reverse is 'very much the case. Railroads suffer heavily through careless driving. Ottawa. -- Apparently there are some automobile drivers who are wise enough to realize that it is better to run into a ditch than into a railway train. Another case of this kind occurred at Huil. A' resident of Val Tetreau, Hull 3 ditched an automobile he was driv- i ing on the Aylmer road one Satur- | day night, near the C. P. R. crossing | when his brakes failed to function, and a train was coming along. His 'spill into the ditch probably saved the lives of his passengers, three in number, and his own, while his car was badly crippled. : z An auto containing four persons was driving in to Hull from Val Tetreau, at a fair 'rate of speed. They had reached the Pontiac rail- road crossing and were headed for the C. P. R. crossing, some yards ahead, when they were warned by the whistle of an approaching train, of danger ahead. The driver at once applied. the brakes, but found they: would not stop the car, which was being rapidly carried on to the crossing with the train only a short Realizing that he could not'get over the crossing ahead of the train the driver adopted the only course possible and cutting off the gas he turned the car into the side of the road, and in doing so struck a telegraph pole, which snapped in two by the impact, fell, just missing the auto, which turned over on its side, the top just graz- ing the mail coach of the train as it swept over the crossing. Strange to say, despite the shock of the col- lision when the car hit the telegraph pole, and its capsizing, none of the occupants were hurt beyond sustain. ing a few bruises and cuts, and a bad fright. Harry Matthews, 386 Sherbrooke street, Ottawa, the engineer of the train which was from Brockville and was due at the Central station at 6.60, warned by his fireman, Jack Finn, 41 Spadina avenue, that an | accident had occurred, pulled the train up after it had passed over the | crossing and helped. with other train officials, to extricate the passengers from the wrecked auto, who were taken in to Hull by a passing autoist, None of the party was in need of medical attention. Torsnto.--On the evening of Sep- tember 19th, when yard engine with 17 cars of meat was crossing St. Claire Avenue, at West Toronto, a Willvs-Enight touring car ran into the side of the twelfth and thirteanth cars from the engine, breaking beth front fenders of sufomobile. For. tunately, the ocreupants of the auto. mobile were not injured. .

PRONGER HE MUSIC SHOP." CHEVROLET is now the fastest selling standard, fully equipped automobile in the world. Spring sales have given it this premier position. SALES FOR APRIL 1922, were nearly double those for April 1920, our best previous spring month, and were more than seven times as much as in the sam: month one year ago. 87 LES FOR the four big months so far recorded are more than seven times the sales for the first four f months of last year. And they have exceeded those for the same period of 1920, when the after-the-war boom was at its" height. 8 THE BEST PREVIOUS monthly record 'was in July 1g20. But Chevrolet sales in April 1922, smash- cd all previous records by several thousand cars. This best previous month was exceeded by 29 p.c.-- a magnificent expression of the public's appreciation of the great value we offer. x . Why Chevrolet Leads THIS LEADERSHIP is the result of building cars both passenger and commercial, which will provide cificient operation and economical transportation at a price everyone can afford to pay. ® i rare antares we gt MORE THAN three-quarters of a million Chevrolets have now been sold. - This month, this year, more and better Chevrolets will be sold than in any previous month or year in Chevrolet history. BECAUSE Economical Transportation has become so vital in business and in everyday life, Chevrolet lias gained its rightful recognition. And it has gained this enviable position without forcing its sale through advertising. It is simply due to motor car owners' appreciation of merit and value.
