USE CAUTION AT
CROSSINGS, AUTO
DRIVERS WAltNED
That 4417 persons were killed
nnd li.av.t persons Injured in au
tomobile accidents at nil! road
crossings during l!i2! and 'J4 Is
shown in a report of ihe Interstate
oominerco cnmmlimton.
One railroad reported that '95
out of 1 ; 47 per cent, automo
bile accidents at railroad crossings
In six months resulted from au
tomobiles trying to cross directly
In front of an approaching train.
Of the. remainder, .14 (27 per cent)
resulted from aimjiiiohilcH running
Into trains (not I ruins running in
to automobiles).
It was reportod by on(i Jorge rail
road company ihat in otic year
more than fitto crocsing gates low
ered to prflieot the public were run
Into and broken down ly automo
biles. ...
Another railroad company r'
portd- on -actual observations of
3fS!) automobile drivers at railroad
crossings:
2!M.7 ' (Rl ' pef cent)' looked
neither way before crossing.
CiCt (17 per cent) looked In only
one way before crossing. .
0 (2 per cent) yuokod holh
ways.
Ttnllrrmtl lo Pnrt.
Tho railroads are doing . their
part to prevent accidents at rail
road crossings. They have spent.
and will continue to spend Im
mense sums of money for track
elevation, grade separation, watch
men, crossing gates, nnd alarms.
Alreadv the railroads have spent
more than $ino,ooo,ooi) for track
elevations In the state of Illinois
nlono but with 177. inn crossings
still In existence, nhd because tho
average cost of eliminating cross
ings Is at . least J5f),000 each. rnlU
road cropslng accidents will con
tinue to occur unless the public,
too, does Its share townrd prevent
ing them. ...
It Is advisable never to cross a
railroad track In high gear. Many
accidents happen becauso cars be
come stalled while on the track.
It is safer to shift into Intermedi
ate of low gear a- reasonable, dis
tance before crossing a track.
RECORD T

IDE BY AJAX
PORTLAND Ore. (Special)
What Is said to be record lime over
the route was hung up recently by
tu stock Ajax six touring car, when
It covered the trail from Portland
to Pond via The Dalles und Tygh
I valley. In b hours 63 minutes. Jt
returned in 5 hours tf minutes.
actual running time, just two min
utes slower than for the outbound
trip.
The query, "What will the Ajax
do?" received ample reply, boosters
declare. With four passengers, the
Nash-built Ajax was hammered
over the road, always in high gear
at between rU and 60 miles an
hour, a -terrific, strain on any ma
chine, Pesplte the lMnrt breaking
grades and the hair-raising curves;
despite the constant battering at
high speed; despite the fact that
more than, half the road was of
loose gravel; despite these severe
factors tho Ajax came through with
flying colors, and at the end of tho
day was running ns sweetly as at
the start.
Two expert drivers shared the
work of piloting tho machine over
the road- Hoy McAyenl nnd Ony
Jameson. McAyoal drove from
Portland lo Dnfur: Jameson then
took the wheel and drove to pond:
thence back to Dufur; McAyenl
then resumed the driving to Port
land. One feature of the trip was
the extreme cold: beyond The I)r.l
les small ponds wore covered with
ice, nnd Ihe drivers suffered ex
tremely from exposure.
Not once throughout the. trip
did the Ajax falter, not one drop
of water was added to the store
in the radiator: not a. tire was
changed. This although the round
trip, some 475. miles, was made in
but 13 hours 32 minutes elapsed
time.

Performance and Beauty That

If II Is possible for passengers to
enter or leave tho resr seat with
both front seats occupied.
"It Is certnlnlv gratifying to be
able to say that the Jewett answers
the, requirement. When the
auxiliary seat is folded it does not
interfere In any way with the genr

you cannot shift gears with this

The nation-wide popularity of
this new quaSty Four is due to
the enthusiasm of men and
women who ' say they have
never seen 'its' equal for com.
fort, beauty, ease of handling
and performance.
These characteristics, so
uniquely Chrysler, are the re
sult of the application, for the
first time, of the proved scien
tific engineering of its famous
companion car, the Chrysler
Six, to four-cylinder practice.
Linked to this is a degree of
manufacturing skill and accu
racy found only in Chrysler
products.
Women who like fine things
are captivated by the Chrysler
Four beauty of line and color,
ing, by its restful riding and
handling the result of Chry.
sler-designed spring suspension
and pivotal steering, together
with balloon tires.
i
They appreciate in particular
the greater safety of Chrysler
hydraulic four-wheel brakes,
furnished on this new Four at
slight extra cost for the first time .
on any car of like price.
Test these di-jtlnctive Chrysler
Four advantages yourself. We
' welcome the opportunity of
demonstration.
