Woman Motorist More Common. The number of women driving cars these days may be counted by the score. The female of the species even is projecting into the ranks of jitney and bus drivers and the hand that rocks the cradle is proving as steady at the wheel. Women also may be found in the . automobile school learning all about crank shafts, ignition and other details. An interesting fact in this connec tion is brought out by a recent sum mary compiled by the Firestone company. It shows that women are much less often called into court for disregarding motor ordinances or speed laws, and the figures prove tha.t woman chauffeurs meet with far fewer accidents than do men. Mexico is literally flooded with stolen automobiles, which are sold for 50 per cent of their actual vslue. ONCE G AN
