Sept. 16 (')Men are better drivers than women as far as being able to react in danger ous situations is concerned, lend ing credence to the male belief that women have no business be ing on the highways. Secretary of State Earl Snell produced figures, obtained from demonstrations of the depart ment's reactometer at the state fair, to prove that men can apply the brakes faster than women when they have to act in au emer gency. The instrument, constructed by employes in Snell's office, consists of a driver's seat, the person being examined sitting at a steering wheel and stepping on the "gas." When the red light flashes on, the person must step on the brake, a clock measuring the time be tween the flashing of the light and the application of the brakes. Of the 8706 men examined, 44.11 per cent required seven eighths of a second to apply the brakes, while 48.36 per cent of the 1013 women had a similar reaction time. Only 1.28 per cent of the men would react in a half second and none of the women could equal this mark. while 11.87 per cent of the males reacted in five eighths of a second compared with 4.58 per cent of the women. Of the slow group, 8.76 per Cent of the men and 14.15 per cent of the women required a full second, FORESTS CLOSED IDNGER SALEM, Sept. 16 (Jp)Forests will remain closed longer than usual this fall because of the high the hazard, tho state forestry de partment said today.
