The paper containing this article was sent into the Cleveland office and with it was a letter which said: story is not exaggerated in the for the battery certainly did ave go through some terrible abuse. The outside case was almost completed destroyed The vent plugs were burned and the sealing compound had run inside a few of the cells.

While it was impossible to get a gravity reading the battery, each cell its normal voltage and when it was put in a car for a test, it cranked the motor with the usual energy.

In addition to demonstrating the vorth of the Dort in braking power, he test proves as a demonstration the general proposition that the auto mobile driver is the one who has it in his power to avoid crossing acei- ients if he takes even small precautions. The engineer of a train travel- ng at 40 miles an hour must see the danger 900 feet away even if ho knows the car will not stop. The driver of the car can avoid the danger when 22 feet away front the crossing. At all speeds the flexibility of the car the train places the responsibil ity morally with the driver of the machine.

B. Perry, local agent for the Dort, this week passed out the following from publicity department of the Dort Motor Gar and worthy of careful reading by motorist: What do you do when you your automobile to a railroad huh. Oh yes, I see, you stop, look both ways to see that there is no train approaching, and then you pro- I eeed carefully across the track. Now, Mr. Careful Motorist, you never realized how rare you how different from the other drivers, did you? Just to prove to you what a paradigm you are and so that you i may have just and ample reason for buying a gold placque, east your eye over these facts which come from the Southern Pacific Railway as the result.

of two Investigation: 525 drivers smashed through the gates when hey were down at the crossings and the bells were ringing a warning. of the 20,000 cars observed looked neither to tlie left nor right. 2.7% took the pains to look both ways. 27.8% looked one way along the 19.3% or 3,301 ears dashed over the track at a reckless speed. is where you see how wonderful you drivers of the stopped their machines before crossing tlie tracks, to make sure that no trains were approaching.

Mr. Annanias, you better leave a membership card; the witness ap pears to be weakening. it' more testimony is needed, it can be obtained from other railroads. For example, the Illinois Central found that 55 jter cent of the automobiles crossing the tracks went at high speed, with drivers looking neither to left nor right, while two- thirds of all the ears observed, went over the tracks in excess of 30 miles an hour. This testimony appears a strong indictment of the motorist and show's that the majority of railroad accidents where motor cars are concerned in the report, may be placed at the door of the driver.

A big percentage of deaths have been laid to the attempt of the driver to beat the train to a crossing trying to save time hut not trying to save lives, it can be seen that the attempt to emphasize needs a co-operating enrollment of motorists. I lie Dort car took part in some train versus auto tests this week that demonstrate why the motorist must the railroad crossings and not leave the burden to the man in the I cab or to a watchman that may or Reading the Future Recently various papers printed the horoscope of the czar, made by the seventh son of a seventh son, born with a caul, of course.
