Accordingly, in- stead of being about eleven times as unsafe as women—as the first figure superficially indicates — men are roughly only three and two-thirds as prolific in causing accidents. That, of course, is putting it on a man -to - woman basis. The great part of driving done in this country is the commuting type. The majority of accidents happen during the rush hours of the morn- ing and evening. There are women drivers on the sat eets at these hours, it is true, but not in the proportion of one to three, which would have to be the case were the safety figures to show ac- curately which sex was the more proficient in driving. From the fatal -accident view- point, "the worst hour of the twenty- four in any day is that between 'T and 8 p.m.," says Mr, Ullman, con- tinuing:. That is the hour during which • the nation is going to the movies. Even in the family possessed of two cars, but one of them is used on this occasion. Who drives it? Usually the man.

Here are the results. His figures indicate that it is something like twenty to one in favor of the men. Male drivers can even take the offensive with regard to this aspect of the argument. There is Friday, for instance, that famous day of ir- resistible bargains which draws wo- . men drivers into the congested area on the greatest scale of the week. And, what happens?
