HERMISTON
HERALD,
STOP, LOOK. LISTEN WHEN
CROSSING RAILROAD TRACKS
In a very recent grade crossing
accident, consisting of an auto truck
running into the side of an engine
pulling a train, three boys aged
seven to eleven, two of whom were
brothers, were instantly killed and
several others were injured. The
truck, which was occupied by men
and boys, was proceeding toward the
crossing and all its occupants were
watching an airplane soaring over
head, entirely forgetting for the
moment that they were approaching
a railroad crossing toward which a
train was likewise moving at a mod
erate rate of speed, with whistle
blowing and engine bell ringing.
The truck ran into the side of the
moving engine and turned so that
the boys on one side of the truck
were hurled under the grinding
wheels and three innocent young
lives were wiped out.
Thirty-five per cent of the acci
dents to automobiles at railroad
grade crossings of the O-W. R. R. &
N. lines for the seven months ending
July 31, 1920, were due to automo
biles running into side of trains, en
gines, or cars, and running into
ditches, fences and posts in order to
avoid running into train that was
going over the crossing. Twenty
per cent of the accidents were caused
by auto drivers running through
crossing gates or disregarding the
signal of crossing watchmen. Eight
per cent of the collisions were due
to auto being stalled on the track.
The remainder were mostly deliber
ate attempts to beat the train over
the crossing.
Following1 are the
principal causes of collisions between
automobiles and trains:
Defective brakes; driver trying to
beat train over crossing; failure of
driver to stop, look, and listen; auto
mobile skidding into train; automo
bile stalled on track; automobile
stopped too close to track; miscalcu
lating speed of train; driver occupied
in conversation, daydreams, or look
ing at object remote from what Is
immediately before him.
Records indicate that 23 persons
are daily killed or severely injured
on account of collisions between au
tos and trains in the United States.
The careless automobile driver is a
menace to himself and to the occu
pants of his car, and the death toll
at grade crossings will continue to
increase unless drivers exercise more
care. Too much care cannot be used
in making a crossing, as the least
inattention or heedlessness
may
cause death and destruction, and the
other side of the crossing may never
be reached.
A careful driver will slow up be
fore coming to a crossing, put his
car In second or low speed, keeping
ample power in the engine. He will
then come to a full stop with engine
going, and look sufficiently to sat
isfy himself that he will go over in
safety. When he so satisfies himself
he shoots over quickly. Should a
train be within the distance which
may mean danger he will put the
car out of gear and wait till the train
passes.

A Maxwell
Reveals the wisdom of Light Weight
A Maxwell car carries the same average passenger weight over the same roads and at the same
speed as other cars, regardless of their weight and price. To do this task at extremely low cost is
the particular mission of the Maxwell.
Therefore it was necessary to eliminate every pound of superfluous weight,
pound to carry around meant added expense.
How to reduce the weight without reducing the strength
problem in this car. •
thus
became
for
each
added
the vital engineering
To maintain the required strength without increasing weight necessitated the use of the best ma-
terials. The great science of metallurgy 'supplied the answer. Such metals are obviously the qual-
ity metals; and a Maxwell car contains them throughout.
An analysis will show that pound for pound the metals that go into a Maxwell car are compar-
able with the metals in the highest priced cars in the world.
That is the underlying reason why Maxwell cars have given such rare accounts of themselves in
every latitude and clime and have responded so well to every task to which they have been commit-
ted.
They hold the greatest efficiency-economy record a car has ever made—22,020 miles at an aver
age speed of 25 miles an hour, with an average of 22 miles to the gallon of gasoline.
And during this test the engine never once stopped, day or night.
highly reliable mileage.
It was continuous, low-cost,
Such steels, such certainty of performance, such saving, have won many friends for Maxwell.
