In some of the United States the law requires that every driver must stop when he comes to a grade crossing. When the law is enforced, the results have been excellent. Nlttety-ttlne tlmes out. of a ltuttdred the precautton ls un- necessary. but the hundredth stop sat-cs a life. It is possible, too, that the law promotes hlghway safety itt another tvay. Each time the tnotot-lst obeys the law, he ls reminded that he ls in charge of a potentially dangerous vehicle. The pause destroys for a time the hypnotic spell exerted by hours of automatic driving and allows the consclotts mlnd to recover con- trol. —Toronto Prtnted Word.
