The growing demand for wider
and safer roads and stronger
bridges has awakened the officers
and directors of the . American
Road Builders' association to the
need for act'on and the program
committee has provided for an
exhaustive discussion of the sub
ject at the Twelfth American Good
Roads congress and Thirteenth
National Good Roads show; to be
held In Chicago, January 1$ to 20
next.
The elimination of grade cross
ings w;!l be one of the pffases con
sidered. (3ni of 12,000 persons
killed on the highways of the
country last year, 7000 were
struck down at prade crossings.
Investigation has shown also that
one motorist in every three is
careless at grade crossings, ap
proaching the railroad tracks at
reckless speed and without tak
ing due notice of approaching

The Pennsylvania and SoUthefa
Pacific railroads, especially, haVe
been heavy sufferers from: grade
crossing accidents. On the South
em "Pacific lines alone during the
past three years 1909 motor cars
ad trucks were wrecked n the
grade crossings. In 490 : cases
or more than 20 per cent, the mo
torists deliberately ran Into the
trains. In 122 instances; atttos
plunged through the crossing
gates. Nine crossing flagmen
struck down. ;
.In 970 eases in which motor
ists ran in front of the trains.
136 persons were killed and 40S
were Injured. In 490 cases motot
cars stalled on the crossings and
were demolished. Forty-three
cars actually collided with the
danger signals.
An investigation conducted re
cently hy the Maryland State
Roads commission demonstrated
that most highway accidents occui
on long stretches of road instead
of St the curves and are due to
speeding or reckless driving, rath
er than fiklddingjT .
A total of $4,500,000 was paid
out In death clamis by American
insurance companies for the 12,-
000 persons killed on the high
ways last year. In addition to
the fatalities there were 1,500,-
000 non-fatal Injuries. .
Automobile fatalities fn 191
were 9542. la 1919 the number
increased to 9826. Considering
the 12,000 accidents last year and
baBing their calculations on the
experiences of St. Louis. Cleve
land, New York, Chicago and
other cities for the first six months
of 1921, experts estimate that this
year's fatalities on the highways
will reach 15.000. A total of
690 person Were killed on New
York state roads and cUy Btreets
during the first 'six months this
past ?eaf. Of this number 403
met their death in New York city.
At a recent drawing of space for
the good roads show in Chicago
o per cent of the 40,000 square
feet of space was taken, breaking
all records and necessitating the
use of additional buildings to
house the exhibits. Approximate
ly $1,500,000 worth of labor sav
ing road machinery and applian
ces will be i cxhibtied.
At the good roads congress to
be held during the exposition.
many subjects of importance to
highway users will be discussed;
including the strengthening of
ibrldgeslto carry the ever increas
ing truck loads and a more equit
able distribution of taxation for
the construction and maintenance
of highways. Last year federal,
state and municipal taxes on mo
tor vehicles .reached the stagger
ing sum of $316,720,000 equlv.
alcnt to $34 per car. Governors
of states, county commissioners
and mayors of cities throughout
the country are being asked to
appoint delegates to the con-
eost of taaterials which have fol
lowed the return to normalcy.
Eegge" & Burrell., local represen
tative of the, Willard Storage
Battery ; company, say Jhis Mm
haj tecently announced their new
All-Rubber battery. This Is a
battery using the i Willard com
pany's patented threaded rubber
insulation, and their new Mono
blo (one-piece hard rubber ccn
tiner. The combination makes a
battery that is rubber inside and
rubber outside, and is practically
indestructible. .1
Degge & Burrell also ay that
this company has standardized on
the use of rubber gaskets lor
sealing the post and the coverot
the cells, so that the batteries
are now absolutely leak-proof at
this point. This type of, con
struction greatly simplifies man
ufacturing and affords a very sat'
isfactory method of making a
leak-proof Joint between post and
cover. At the same time it fa
cilitates dismantling and reassem
bling of the battery in the least
time and with the least difficul
ty. 'I
The third advance has been
made in the use of their bone-dry
batteries which are made and
shrpped without electrolyte and
preliminary charging. j There
has, been more than 100 per cent
increase in the use of these bat
teries ty service stations, and o
per cent Increase on the part of
car manufacturers. This again,
works to the benefit of the new
car .buyer as well as the purchas
er of a replacement battery who
now finds It possible to buy
brand new battery one . wntcn
has not been wearing itself out
before they came into possession
of it. I j
