Their actions any place but in an automobile would in most cases place them under mental observation or in jail. W. M. Jeffers, president of the Union Pacific Railroad, an nounced on January 19, that from January 1 to thait date, there had been 13 cases where drivers had carelessly run into the side of trains at crossings, or stalled their cars on railroad tracks of the Union Pacific, at widely separated locations in seven states. A stalled automobile on a public highway crossing derailed a fast mail and express train, killing the engineer and fireman. Because of more dangerous conditions in winter, drivers should be extra cautious. Sanity says stop, look and listen at railroad crossings. The figures given by Mr. Jeffere are startling and a timely warning to police and highway patrol officers to be on the look out for potential killers at railroad crossings. W hat M r.
