This old fa- vorite of the gag hien brings out an i011Ut•tltllt point in relation to high \ray accidents at railway crossings. The laws provide that at a crossing of two railway lines all trains must come to 0 11111 'top before entering upon the cross- ing. Similarly at a crossing of two Provincial Highways the cars must stop before making the crossing. }3y what method of reasoning. or lack of reasoning, is an un- protected crossing of a railway line and a Prt(vincial highway.

The. sad accident at Goderich has caused much discussion of this attbject. 1t is not the first accident at that crossing and un- less •something is done soon, will Probably not be the last. Each time juries investigate and bring in their usual findings..And the toll of life continues.
