MOTORIST MUST STOP FOR TRAIN Recent Supreme Court Decision Places Responsibility Up To Driver "Mr. Motorist, it is now right up to you! The recent Supremo Court decision as to the responsibility o’ the automobile ownc r at railroad crosHliißs is clear and unmistakable In its meaning. The responsibility is now absolutely yours and nobody rise's." The above statements were issued today by the Hoosier State Automobile Association In a safety bulletin which eontlnnes as follows: "Every motorist in reading the language of the Supreme Court Decision which we quote as follows, must realize that there is no recourse to either hltr or his property if he gets hit by it railroad or into, urban train or even if he runs into the interurban or railroad twin." "When a man goes upon a railroad track, ho knows he goes to a place where lie knows he will be killed if a train cotnes upon him before he is cierr of the Hack. He knows h> must stop for the train, not the train for him In stnh < itcumsti.nces. it . seems to as that if a driver cut not be sure other wise whether a train is dangerously near h<* must stop and get out of his vehicle, although obviously he will not often be required to do more than stop and look It seems to us that if he relief upon not het-ring the train or any signal aud takes no further precaution, he does so at his own risk” In the language of Dr. J. N. McCoy c;f Vincennes president of ’he Knox County Motor ( lull, "it will no longer be nect-asarv ivw for legislatures to enact la. s iccj iiiing stone fences or barbed wire entanglements in from of c rossings to keep the motorist off the tracks. If he gets hurt or killed Hu is Just all there is co it." . —- ———— Tod Whipple Joins Law Firm In Muncie Tod Whippie. prominent Portland attorney. who is well known in Decatur, has joined the law firm of Waterhouse and Miller, in Muncie.

LICENSES EXPIRE ONDECEMBER3I Hunting And Fishing Licenses Must Be Renewed After End Os Year Despite the fact that new hunting and fishing laws enacted by the last General Assembly have been repeated-! ]y explained, there are many persons| still unfamiliar with them, judging by hundreds of letters weekly reaching the office of George N. Mannfeld, superintendent of fisheries and game for' the state conservati n department. , Many retain the belief their old license is good for ope 'ear from date, which was formerly the case prior to going into force on May 16 of the 1927 acts. The 1927 Acts reads that all licenses, regardless of when issued expire on December 31. so if you have a license issued, f.-r example, in June of 1927 it is not good until June 1928 as formerly. but becomes invalid after December 31. 1927. Again one may hold a license issued on December 2.* 1926. It is in force until December 2. 1927, but thenew license you buy, if you are going to hunt the remainder of this year, will only be good to and including December 31. Then you must buy a 1928 license which will be good from January 1.192 S to and including Docember 31. 1928. The 192 S license, for convenience, will be on sale at county count' clerks offices about the middle of December but while you may buy one it is not valid until January 1 Again.
