OFFICIAL LAUDS
WOMAN
FLINT. Mich. Found: u niun
who says jokes uhoul womi'ii Oli
vers aren't funny!
; He's a ninn in a position to
know. too., for he Is C. W. Church
ill, general sales manager of the
Bute It Motor company. In Mr.
Churchill's opinion, the numerous
. vurlutions uf the yarn based on a
woman's probable intentions, when
st)e puts out her hand while driv
ing, are only so man' reflections
on the male sex Itself. reflections
which men themselves should and
eventually will rotten t.
"If men would only stop to
' analyze the thing,' -said Mr. I
Churchill,' "they would see that
every such joke Is a boomerang. If J
woman's IndcclHiveness when driv
ing Is so pronounced as to inspire i
joking, men themselves are mostly
to blame.
"Men. have destroyed women's
confidence, utid loss of confidence. ,
more than any other factor, ac
counts for hesitants. or eccentric"
manipulation of motor cars. Jivery
time a man attempts-to d-rscredit
the driving of women as a class,
he Is taking an even harder wallop
at the men folks, whose Impatience
is largely 'responsible- fur whatever
faults women drivers exhibit.
"Almost everyone can think of
some few women whom he ex
empts fro in the ca t eg o ry of u n -killed
drivers. Among my own
acquaintances, at toast, the thing
works-, out according to a fairly
definite rule; The best women
drivers I know, drivers as sure of
themselves, and as expert in emer
gencies as any , man, are those
who have no men folks about. And
the next-best are wives who have
pars of their own.
;: "Such a woman never has to
wheedle or cajole to get the family
car for the afternoon. No dread
of a scolding hangs over her, to
affect her driving skill. Sho inny
even exercise man's prerogative of
inciting into an occasional friendly
crash, if she feels like It, without
making explanations to her lord or
being upbraided for her presumed
carelessness. Driving becomes
automatic with her, just as it does
with men. ; . . :
. "Almost every community has at
least one family in which the situ
ation is reversed. . The wife 'wears
the trousers,' and the husband is
the meek -and submissive partner.
Such iy husband, if permitted to
drive at all, is likely to exhibit the
very faults of which men complain
In women. But his friends don't
blame him. They say: 'The poor
fellow is afraid to call his soul his
own. If he scratched tho car his
wife would kill him.'
Tho man really interested in im
proving his wife's driving should
try patience, Mr. Churchill be
lieves. '
"Most men are somewhat mechanical-minded,"
he . said. "Be
fore they have been driving long,
, they know exactly 'what Is'taklng
place in their-car when gears are
shifted or brakes applied. The
knowledge makes them better dri
vers. And It comes so naturally to
them that they are inclined to be
impatient with persons to whom it
does not."
"Women do not as a rule under
stand mechanical things so -readily
as men. It is no reflection upon
them that they do not. They have
had more important responsibilities
than driving automobiles. Han
dling a car in traffic could scarce
ly be 'second nature' to the aver
age 'woman, any more' than the
fine points of housework could- be
HO, to the average man." .

The First Trip

"Every week-end Bees" procossoins
of automobiles whiwtfhg 'off to the
-country. loaded with jolly, carefree
people, their faces expressing their
anticipation of two or throe hours
in tho newly green country or
woods after a long, hard winter.
' Though the ground may bo
somewhat damp it is forgotten In
the joy of eating the 'first picnic
lunch of tho year and watching
tho fire snap and crackle.
The lunch, of course, falls to the
women, and so they have planned
a meal that could not be served
urnund the family dining table.
The steuk is not cooked in a
plcbian frying pan. No, it 1 cut
Into servings, broiled over glowing
coals and eaten, with bread and
butter. The mosf-elaboratc form
of kabol, ns the ghi scouts call this
dish, is arranged by nlternntlng
pieces of steak, sliced onion and
potatoes along tho stick.
Camp Fire Girls have also
taught us to cook tho checsebob.
"Wrsp each piece of cheese very
carefully In a slice of bacon.
Thrust the groon stick through the
bacon In such a way that It will
keep It from unwrapping. Ily the
time the .bacon is broiled, the
cheese Is dellciously melted. . It is
u wise precaution to holt! a piece
of toast -in one hand during the
cooking of the bacon when it he
gins to drop its burden "
After a meal like this it is not
neccswnry fur mother to work very
hard or wash many dishes.

"desertion of the anti-slavery

leader, "the glory from his' gray

was heaped upon him, Webster
was again a candidate for the
