longer than their third fingers, and
they smiled approval at the learned
scientist.
DR.. Schofeld won further laurels
from the same section of his audience
by declaring that although women
acted mere by instinct than by reason
they generally were right.
"Men trust more to their reason"
he said, "and they are often wrong.
AS for lunatics, they are guided en-
tirely by pure reason"
Other superior attributes of woman
enumerated by DR.. Schofield were that
he had better color vision than man
and that she was more tenacious of
life.
"The average woman" he said,
olives two years longer than the av-
erage man."
Finally, solution was furnished of
the problem why woman buttons the
coat from right to left, contrary to
mans custom.
"Woman buttons toward the heart"
said DR.. Schofield. "Her instinct is to
protect what she has. Man buttons
the other way because his instinct is
to grab"

OUSTING SPEED BUGS
FROM THE AUTO CLUB

Los Angeles, Dec. 8-Drastic action
will be taken by officials Of the Auto
mobile Club of Southern Califirnia to
put a stop to reckless driving in and
about Los Angeles, according to a
statement issued yesterday by Secre-
tary S. G. Geary.
OF the two plans intimated by Sec
retary Geary, the one claiming prece-
dence is one which will be consid
cred by the directors of the club at an
early date, and that is an example
to be set by the members of the
organization themselves. In short,
any member of the Automobile club
who is found to be persistent vio-
lator Of ordinances will be expelled.
That is the most radical step yet
taken by Secratery Geary.

one who drives recklessly or who
does not observe the ordinances" }"
said Miss Geary last evening. at is
possible that we will deputize some
Of our members to act as special Off
GERS. although this plan has not been
definitely considered yet.
"There is another side of the case,
and that is in regard to the pedes-
trians. While the majority Of mo-
torists consider the pedestrian, do
not believe that the average pedes-
trian uses ordinary precaution in
crossing thoroughfares, particularly
in the outlying districts. Traffic reg
ulations in the congested districts
are doing much to educate cedes-
trians, but on the whole there is a
laxness on their part which imposes
an unnecessary hardship on the own
er of an automobile, and which con-
tributes to putting all the blame on
his shoulders.
Automobiles have come to be a
necessity in these days Of competi-

Middle Aged StenOgraphers

Chicago Record Herald: 1t is dis
covered in New York that there is a
time limit in the business world for
women no less than for men. The
woman most Disseminated against is
the middle aged stenographer. One
of these, aged 40, has written to the
papers to ask why, experienced and
able and still energetic and ambitious,
she cannot get and hold a satisfactory
position.
Employers have been interviewed.
One and all they resent the imputa-
tion that the choice of younger wom-
en- for stenographic positions is in
fluenced by pretty face or by per-
sonal charm. Fresh, keen senses and
adaptability to modern methods were
given as the determining factors.
The hope for the middle aged wom-
an stenographer would seem to be in
gradually getting such a grip on the
details of business-or some depart
ment of it--as will make her useful,
and even Indispensable, in something
beyond mere typewriting. This might
be difficult in large office, but not
impossible in small one, where the
personal element has greater play.
Imperial Valley press., 1913-12-08
WOMAN MORE IMPORTANT
IN THE RACE GROWTH

Masculine conceit received death
blow at the Institute of Hygiene in
London last week, when DR.. A. T..
Schofield, in a lecture on "The Ma
tional Importance of Woman's
HEALTH" voiced some home truths
concerning the characteristics of the
two sexes, says a London daily. He
said:
"The better developed the woman,
both physically and morally, the more
marked the improvement Of the race.
Whereas mans physique is no longer
as important as it was-for modern
inventions have replaced mere muscle
the woman's body is always impor-
tant, since she is the bearer of the
coming race.
"That nature herself recognizes the
greater value of women is proved by
the fact that during the siege of Paris,
when the population was badly fed or
starving, nearly all the children born
were boys. So you see nature only
makes girls of good material, whereas
she will make boys of anything.
Again" continued DR.. Schofield
bravely, while affecting to ignore the
scowls of the male section of his au-
dience, "if you come to consider the
points which distinguish the human
species from the beasts, you will find
that women possess these to an ex-
tent more marked than men.
"For instance, woman's ear is
more human than a mans, and SO is
her lower jaw, as we'll as her skin.
Nor is there any animal whose first
finger is longer than his third. Now
you will find that this is the case with
most wonderland certainly with all
good looking women"
Here Dr. Schofeld halted judicious-
ly for few moments, knowing that
further words, however gratifying to
the more human auricular organs in
the assembly, might not penetrate un-
til the fair owners had carefully ex-
amined their neatly gloved hands.
There was momentary tension in
the room while the women performed
various digital gymnastics. All for
tunately corroborated DR.. Schofeld's
statement. Their first fingers were

The Grief Habit

Walt Mason: Oh, neighbor sad
hearted, with dolorous tongue, you
probably started complaining when
young; you learned how to grumble
at grandmother's knees, and not how
to humble and buzz like the bees; The
habit grew stronger as years made
their race, and longer and longer you
pulled out your face; and louder and
longer you voiced your soul pains. till
people said, "Chowder the man has
for brains" For grief is habit like
clucking with fowls, like fear TO a
rabbit, like hooting to owls. When
once you have got it, there's nothing
win please; your spirit. dod rot it. is

ton in business and the man who
wishes to conserve his time in order
to be of more use in his position
must have one. They are operated in
a careful manner by the. majority
of motorists, but even so, they are
more unwieldy than the feet of the
man who finds it necessary to walk.
He should look to the right and to
the left before crossing the street
and in 80 cases out of 100 the autoist
will come to complete stop rather
than inconvenience the pedestrian.
Automobile club members are
united as body to abolish all at
tempts at reckless speeding as we'll
as all attempts to evade the ordi-
nances. 1t is up to the pedestrian,
in a large way, to help matters out
by stopping, looking and listening
before catapulting out into the street.
He would not think of flying in front
of street car; why should he tempt
fate with an automobile?" -
Club officials have been reused to
action and this time is taken, accord
ng to Secretary Geary, to warn all
MEMBERS of the organization as we'll
as all those who expect to become
members. A general campaign will
be inaugurated by Secretary Geary
to acquaint pedestrians as we'll as
automobilists with the regulations
applying to road and traffic etiquet.
The Automobile Club of Southern
California is leading similar organiza-
tions all over the United States in
cooperation with police and county
officials to lessen the dangers found
in congested traffic conditions, and
the announcement that members who
violate the ordinance will be struck
from the rolls confirms this.
License numbers obscured by rear
tire racks and ineffective rear lights
will come under the ban of the club,
according to Secretary Geary. "These
are two of the lesser things which
are not often counted as important
by the average motorist, and they
will be included in our campaign.
"The speed bug will not be tol.
Grated in the ranks of the club
With the present law-abiding class
Of motorists of Southern California
speeding has not been the genera
rule. We are not disturbed by the
frequently reiterated cries of death
which are directed at the motorists
in general, for we are sure that the
average owner of an automobile is
desirous of obeying the law. 1t is
the exception which we are moving
against.
"All support of the club, either
morally or in actual legal work, will

So, parents and grannieS, keep tab
on the kids, the Neds and the Nannies,
