It would be a wonderful tiling, though, if a wo man driver would always indicate to other drivers that she is chang ing her mind before she puts the change into effect. The whole world would lie the happier for it. 1 "Women, as a rule, do much Jess driving than men, and frequently little of that driving is in heavy j traffic. As a result, when they get into a Jam, they are more likely, 'through lack of experience, to be jcome timid or excited, with disas trous results. The obvious cure is greater familiarity with conditions (that are met while driving. "Women are leaders in many other matters of public- and family j welfare, and the influence they can jexert to check the alarming in crease in automobile accidents can be tremendous. First of all they imust perfect their own driving jubllily and practice. Then through organization in women's drivers schools they can become a distinct force for safety throughout the country.'

They are bought, he says, hi line wltli the growing trend of having a second car in the garage for the women members of the I 'household.

The new and bright Chrysler and Yly month colorings also have un doubtedly played a conspicuous part in feminine selection.

"Women are becoming more mo torwise ail the time. They know style when they see It, and the zest of performance is coming to mean equally ns much to them as to men.

Under such conditions, extra power and added traction he come so obviously necessary that tough jobs are "Caterpillar" jobs. American farmers have proved the competence of the "Cater pillar" by testing it under severest conditions. Today tractors are working in the black belt of Alabama, in the gumbo soil of Missouri, in the red clay of Georgia, the adobe of California, and the prairie sod of South Dakota. Their success where soils are refractory and the traction treacherous, is an enduring endorse ment of efficiency in the. average field and typical orchard.
