YOUNG WOMEN GAIN
 AS AUTO DRIVERS
2,000 Under 20, 13,000 Between
 20 and 29 in State

Hartford, April 16 State motor vehicle department records show rapid increase in the number Of girls licensed as operators in Con- necticut. At the close of the last license year, February 2S, there were l5,000 licensed female operators un- der 30 years old, a number equalling the total of all operators, men and women, who were licensed to drive IS years ago.
 In the past few years, women have turned to automobile driving with the result that there are more than one-tifth as many women as men m the approximately o94,ooo licensed Connecticut operators The gam among women has been most pro- nounced in the classes under 30 years old. There are now nearly 2,oo0 girls under 20 licensed and more than 13,000 between 20 and 20 years old. It is not at all uncom- mon nowadays to see Stenographers driving to work in their own cars. Women in these age classes ap- pear to be acquiring operators h- censes at q rate of slightly in excess of young men of corresponding ages, but this may be due in large part to the fact that the young men were first in the field and occupied it for many years before girls began to en- ter it in large numbers.
 There were 46.434 applicants for operators licenses passed by state police examiners in the past year and approximately 5000 of them were women.

Some idea of this enormous

fact that the brilliancy of the light

Of the suns intensity at high noon.
This crater is, the hottest spot on

used extensively for aircraft defense.
The United States army has a large

these lights are able to pick up a
