Women at the Wheel.

Men, rule, are more confident than women
Boys still more confident 1t is not often that
sheer physical strength averts accidents, or that
in these days of athletics are strong as the lads

The woman at the wheel sometimes nenaces
traffic because of inbred tendency to expect
way to be made for women in all circumstances
Some women drive as if they expected the pro-
visions of traffic ordinances and the rules of the
courtesy, as seats surrendered to women in
street and in drawing rooms, or hats removed
in elevators. When woman drives an automo-
bile without reflecting that there is sex equality
under traffic ordinances and under State road laws
and that to expect exhibitions of chivalry to the
sex at crowded crossings or upon narrow country
roads, is to invite tragedy. the feminine hand al
