arrested for traffic law violations in the country. The women, as has been stated before, are careful when d-iv- ing and go slow. The only trouble with the fair sex drivers Is that tEey be- come frightened much more easily than men and in the csc of an acci- dent are liable to lose control of the car quicker.
 Motorcycles q Menace
 The greatest menace to a traffic policeman, Policeman Lanpher claims, Is the motorcycle. According to the traffic cop, there are not as many motorcycles on the road today as there were during the period of the war. If there is motorcycle n view I give him the signal to pass and get him out Of my way as quickly as. can he said. According to the stalwart policeman, few people realize how dangerous are the motorcycles. During the war fgres show that a great number of such machines were owned by foreigners who understood little or nothing about the machine and still less about the traffic regula- tions and were always in trouble. Lam pher recalled 3. hearing held in Hart ford two years ago at which he was in attendance. A state motor vehicle policeman approached him and told him that he never knew of city as
New Britain herald., 1921-08-12

his opinion the majority of women are more careful and tactful than the men. In his opinion, a man gets a machine, drives for the first two or three weeks with care and then has to start going fast in order to show of in front of his friends and let them know he can drive a car. The next thing the driver knows he IS haled into court for speeding.
 Few people realize that one quarter of the autornobile winch pass through Main street in New Britain during tho day are driven by women. This state ment was vouched by MT. Lan- pher. The women are more cautious than the men and give the traffic men little trouble. Policeman Lanpher says. however, that the majority of men who have driven cars for over a period of from five to six years are more dangerous drivers than the "green-horns." In explaining this sit uation, Policeman Lanpher said that the men have had thetr cars som etine and think they know everything there Is to know in regards to driving a car They become careless and after a while cannot estimate the rate of speed they are going without having speedometer in front of them.
 It will also be. noted that few wonl- men, in comparison with men, are

CHURN NUMBERS ARE USEFUL
Makes 1t Simple Matter to Separate
Different churnings and Sell Ac-
cordino to Score.

The use Of churn numbers, so that
the receivers of butter can more
readily sort out separate churnings, is
urged upon creamery men by food
products inspectors Of the bureau OF
markets, United States Department Of
Agriculture. In a lot OF butter rec
emily examined by these inspectors
the score varied from 88 to 90. AS
no churn numbers were shown, the
only way the receiver could separate
the butter was by examining every
tub. IF the churn numbers had been
shown, 1t would have been simple
matter to separate the various churn-
ings and sell them according to score
1t Is not possible to take time to ex
anime every tub, 80 the butter is sold
according to the samples taken and
at a discount II the samples vary
widely. II there should be just one
poor tub in the shipment and the
sampler happens upon 1t, the whole
shipment would suffer, while If churn
numbers are used only the tubs in
that churning would receive the lower
score
