Grade Accidents Show Decrease During 1927 While the general accident rate for automotive traffic went up ten per cent in 1927, and while the number of au- tomobiles on the highways increased five per cent, fatalities from grade crossing accidents decreased four per cent, according to latest statistics.

If Youre an Auto Driver Here's How to Avoid Gray Hair The following hints are prescribed by the American Motorists' associa- tion for motorists who desire to keep from growing old: Always drive fast out of alleys. Always race with locomotives to crossings. Engineers like it; it breaks the monotony of their job. Always pass the car ahead on curves or turns. Don't use your horn, it may unnerve the other fellow and cause him to turn out too far. Demand half the road--the middle half. Insist on your rights. Always speed; it shows people you are a man of pep even though an amateur driver. Never stop, look or listen at a rail- road crossing. It consumes time. Always lock your brakes when skidding. It makes the job more ar- tistic. Always pass cars on hills, It shows you have more power and you can turn out if you meet a car at the top. Never look around when you back up. There is never anything behind you. Drive confidently, just as though there were not twenty-three million other cars in service.
