MALE VS. FEMALE
Some folks will tell you that tlie
female oif the species is more deadly
than the male. But traffic accident
records olf the Highways Department
don’t bear this out by any means. In
■fatal accidents last year, 94 per cent,
’of the drivers were men; and in non-
fataLaccidents, 93.3 per cent, of the
drivers were men.
Although these figures do not show
the relative number of |male and
female drivers, still it refutes the
old adage. But regardless of such
an old and silly legend, if all driv
ers, men and woman, would make
up their minds that HIGHWAY
'DEATHS MUST STOP, there would
be mighty few motor accidents. ,
Never Mind the Bill
Madam: “What is the idea of run
ning the electric stove all the time?”
