THE REAR
SEAT DRIVER

Back-scat driving is not indigen-
0us to any particular climate Or
time. 1t is az universal as measles
or chicken pox and is, apparently,
every Whit as impossible to eradi-
cate or control. 1t is no respectOr
of persons, age or sex. There are
just as chronic cases of back seat
driving" among the sterner as among
the gcnticr sex. Because men IN
more opportunity is offered women
to break out with the disease, but
Il male back seat driver iS just as
obnOxious as Il femafe-albeit she
may live up TO her acquired peroga-
tive and be the more deadly Of the
two.
It is peculiar thing and one to
which psychologists have given
little, if any, thought the predi-
iccticn Of those not driving TO offer
criticisms and advice to those who
DO. Even when one has had Il
taste of II oneself-and who drives
he's nett seems 20 make no dif-
ference, no difference at all. As
sOon as most persons occupy the
back seat of motor car they begin
mentally to push on the brake altl
guide the wheel
The back seat may be entirely
metaphorichl. The mental pushcr
and guider may be sitting beside
the driver, thereby making hims f
or herself even more annoying and
Objectionable, and making the
temptation to do something disfig.
urirg TO mis- or her face even more
itching, and strong.
Husbands are Bad Offenders
Let s begin with husbands. They
take it for granted that all women
are fools, of course, wnen it comes
10 driving, and that if they are
not cautioned to the nth degree
they will climb tree at every
corner and strew their manslaughtcr
victims along every boulevard. Men
say that women exercise their sex
prerogative more strongly in driv-
ing than in anything else they do.
That means that men believe that
women expect everybody else-os-
pecially every male else-to get out
Of their way. That traffic laws are
as far beyond their mentality as a
problem in differcntial calculus.
That if anything happens they are
sure to lose their heads and mess
things up.
Working on that premise the hus-
band sitting in a mental state OF
jumping out of the car, transmits
not only his nervousness, but his
scorn to his wife at the wheel. In
many cases as she has the car all
day from the time she leaves him at
the office until she drives back for
him, her chances for accidents with
out his careful guidance are about
90 per cent. Moreover his attitude
hard to overcome.
Dialogue Tells the Story
"A short dialogue will illustrate
what will be recognized as the aver
age conjugal experience:
Wife-May l drive, dear! ia
love to.
Husband-Certainly, my love.
(Thereupon he inserts the key,
pulls the choker, releases the brake
and otherwise assists in the start.
Lovely day, isn't it!
"Uh, huh, very

Entrusts her implicitly with the or.
dcring of his home and the rearing
of his offspring. Is in all ways a
courteous and considerate spouse.
The chronic backseat driving wife
adores her big husband. Looks up
to his ability and Judgment, trusts
her happiness and well-being implic-
lilly to him-the answer is far to
seek. AS yet the solution has not
been found.

Public Nurse Has.
Had Busy Month
In Co. Schools

That the work of the public
health nurse employed by the I'M
pcrial County Tuberculosis Com,
mittee has been appreciated, is in
dicated in the report sent to mem
bers of the committee by Mrs.
Balie3 G. Walker, chairman. Miss
Sturgeon arrived less than month
ago and has been busy every minute
since she came. Mrs. Walker saws:
'.Twenty-ore days of the first
month S work of the public health
nurse, employed by the Imperial
County tuberculosis Committee was
spent in the schools.
"The committee Lad hoped to have
the nurse do some school work but
the response has been much reader
than was expected. Three city and
six country schools havebeen visit

Defective Children First
The work followed the general
outlines Of q survey of the defect

time for getting in touch with all
of the parents of the defective child

sary and desirable part of the work,
but letters were written to some
mothers, some home visits made ana
III spite of the number of families
in which there is illness, many pan
onts found time TO visit school when
the nurse was there.
SO little time has been available
for special tuberculosis work that
only a general survey of the needs
has been made. The doctors which
the nurse has had time to visit have

i. S. Children
Should Drink
Much More Milk

WASHINGTON, April T.-That
country children are more prone to
malnutrition than city children is
indicated by by Investigations con
ductcd in connection with the milk
campaigns run in more than half of
the states of the Union under the
auspices of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Miss Jessie NJ. Hoover milk utili-
zation specialist of the dairy divi-
sion, is authority for this state
mcnt. Speaking of the situation
among country children today, she
said:
"The surveys show that in not n
single ease has the consumption by
any group of children which we
have studied reached an average
equal to what is considered the
minimum portion of milk for safe
tv-one pint ner capita per day.
More frequently. the groups have
averaged a half of three quarters
of u pint. Where milk CONSUMPTION
is lowest, under-nourishmcnt is
usually highest.
Third Live on Farms
Since more than 100000 pco-
ple-practically II third of our
continental population-live ON
farms, the vast Importance of pro-
perly feeding the children in the
rural sections is evident. II. f. Van
Norman, president of the World 5
Dairy Congress Association, has
this to say about the lack of milk
drinking among country children:
''The milk check-the money re-
ceived from the sale of milk by the
producer--is one cause for the
failure of farmers to use more milk
in their homes
The discussion of milk drinking
in the homes of the nation will
play q very important part at the
World s Dairy Congress, which is
to open at Washington, d. c., on
October 2 and adjourn to SYRIA
cuse, n. Y, where the National
Dairy Show will be. i'll progress.
