criticism of women as drivers of au-

be allowed to operate an automobile.

she is very apt to lose her head
And Uncle Henry Watterson, who
can talk wisely and well on other

Judge in this sensible and conclusive
way:

ceptions, do not go to road houses.
get drunk and drive home at high
rstes of speed, with an unsteady
hand at the wheel and an unsteady
eve on the road. II is asserted that
women lose their heads more often
than men in moments OF excitement
but the assertion is easier than
proof A majority of accidents which
do not occur from drunkenness are
caused by overconfidence Men, as {
rule, are more confident than WON

The meeting of the Citrus Seminar

days session to discuss every phase
and feature of citrus fruit growing
and marketing in South Florida will
doubtless bring together the largess..
assemblage Of the best informed and
most deeply interested men in that
Industry that ever gathefed in Flor

experts from both the national and
State departments of agriculture,
who have given special study to the
citrus canker and other problems
connected with the industry, and
others who have studied the market
ing phase of the subject, and from
the discussions of these people con-
illusions of great value to the grove
owners of Florida should be reached.

Florida that the plan would be
