Petain Finds Work Cut Out.
LONDON, July 1S.-French re-
verses and an increasing serious
situation in Morocco greeted
Marshal Petain's first day at Rabat,
according to cable dispatches re-
ceived here today.
The hero of verdun, whose
responsibility it will be to deter
mine the weight Of the French
attack necessary to turn back the
victorious Riffs, arrived at Rabat
via airplane from Barcelona last
night.
At the same time, the position Of
isolated French outposts was made
more serious by the cutting of the
QueZzan line at Ainaicha.
Heavy rifle-fire of the tribesmen
wore down the last resistance of
the French defenders of the Ouez-
zan line and aerial bombardments
were unavailing to drive back the
Riffs, according to Fee dispatches
to the Daily Mail.
The same sources confirmed the
intense tribal activity in the Taxa
district, where increased OBJECTIONS
of formerly loyal natives has in
tensified an already serious situa-
ton.
Meantime. Frances ally, Spain, is
preparing for the anticipated often

view of the failure of the French
and Spanish to secure an arrnistice

fighting was reported in progress
in that zone, indicating that sue

Speed and Danger.
Two Of the tests in which the
women outscored the men are of
particular importance because they
are among the primary factors that
constitute driving ability. These
are:
First. the speed with which the
driver reacts to danger and takes
steps to avert it, such as, applying
the brakes.
Second, the consistency with
which the driver responds III such
a situation.
Not only did the women show a
quicker reaction time but they
were also less variable The groups
tested consisted of men and women
selected from the students of
IL L,

they averaged about the same as
far as previous experience in driv-
ing was concerned.
Judging from popular opinion,
laid Doctor Moss, the reaction
time of women might be expected to
be radically different from that OF
men. The experiments fail to sub
stantiate this belief. The average
reaction time of the ten college
women was SO seconds, while that
Of twenty-five men from the same
Institution was SO seconds.

The apparatus by means of which
these tests were carried out con
sisted Of an automobile with two re-
vOlVers mounted on the under sidG
OF the running board. One rev Oliver
was fired by the examiner as a sig
nal for the driver to apply the
brakes and the other was fired au-
tomatically when the initial motion
to apply the brake pedal was made.
The shells were loaded with red
lead, 80 that when either revolver
was fired a bright red spot was
made on the road. The distance
between the two spots combined
with the rate at which the machine
was going gave the reaction time.
Speaking of reaction time" said
Doctor Moss, ut is only another
way of asking how long it takes
the driver to apply the brakes or
make any other necessary move
ment after he sees danger. The
average time for fifty-sevn indi-
viduals was found to be "a of a
