Women Chaufeurs Driue Traffic

Why do policemen fear to see a
female, trim and neat, guiding an
autos destiny along a crowded
street? A search for an answer
came to a dead end, for there's no
one quite so shy fthis subject
as a cop.
It's strange, but true. Several
traffic officers, on being asked what
they thought of women automo-
bilists yesterday, blushed with con-
fusion. Some declined to air their
views, but others remembered that
they wore the badge of authority
and spoke accordingly. AS for their
names-the answer of one of their
number represents their collective
opinion on the matter.

ask for my name" he said, digging

negative.

the body of a small boy. The big

searchers.

boy in the curious crowd.

Paris. Aug. Ia statement has
been sent me from Gen. Lyautri.
governor general of Morocco. who
was in Paris recently to take his
seat in the French Academy and
confer with government leaders on
important questions of general
French policy. The statement con-
Germs pan Islamism. Anything Gen.
Lyautri says at this moment has
peculiar significance. for 1t is more
than hinted that he is now consid-
cred one of the strongest men in
sight to carry on the present pro-
gram of the third republic.
Concerning the presidential crisis,
which is likely TO come to a climax
during the long recess of the cham
Der of deputies, there is a feeling
that the next occupant Of the EIysee
must be strong enough to lend more
than just moral support to the gov
ernment. The name of NJ. Castelnau
has been mentioned and the name
of Gen. Lyautri has been whispered,
although there is a feeling that he
might prove too strong-too strong
for the politicians. In this connec-
tion II is remembered he was not
only difficult but impossible to han
die at the time he was summoned to
Paris during the war crisis to take
the position of minister of war. On
the other hand. his record as gov
ernor of Morocco shows he is an
organizer of the highest order, as
the results accomplished there, even
under difficult war conditions, are
considered extraordinary.
On the subject of pan Islamism
Gen. Lyautri says:
