" FRIDAY EVENING, "" ciation of Railway Commissioners, the official bodies undertaking this work have named committees which have recommended a system of protection that will be the same everywhere, so j the motorist will be put to no trouble j recognizing the various signs at cross ings. Cautionary Signs Cautionary signs are to be placed ■ 300 feet from railroad tracks instead of only 50 or 60 feet away. The new I signs, if adopted, will be circular disks two feet in diameter, surmount ing a pole, with a large black cross painted on them and the letters "R. j R." inserted above the horizontal arm. Where necessary the signs will be i lighted at night and red will be the I uniform color. Grade Crossing Deaths According to the latest figures in the hands of the committee, during the year ending June 30, 1914, there i were 1147 persons killed and 2935 i injured in grade crossing accidents throughout the country. It is also planned to have flagmen hold aloft a white disk marked "Stop," instead of a flag, for the var ious colored flags used in the past have often been misinterpreted by automobilists.
