Insurance Rates Will Be
Based on Motorists Record

HARTFORD, Conn-Caressing the
pocketbook or spanking it has been
conceded by experts to be q most potent
means Of rewarding or Furnishing good
or bad deeds.
Robbins B. Stoeckel, motor vehicle
commissioner, had this in mind when
he proposed to 1929 legislative COM
mittee that the careful, inoffensive
driver be noticed" as much as the
careless, habitually trouble one.
So the legislature enacted a law, said
10 be the first of its kind in the coun-
try, through which the Connecticut
motorist who is good" will be reward
ed. via the pocketbook, and the motorist
who is bad will be punished, via the
same route.
The State gives oficial sanction, and
provides an official basis for a plan
that has been used by the insurance
companies for many years-giving low,
or basic, liability rates to drivers who
rarely or never get into trouble and
raising the rates of those who figure
too frequently in police or civil courts.
All but perfect" drivers will be CLASH
Ned. The perfect" will have the basic
rate. Those who make minor infrac-
tionS of traffic laws will 60 into class
A, and their insurance rates will leap
10 per cent. Glass B will hold the
"many-accident, many law-breaking"
drivers, with rates 25 per cent above
the basic. Glass C-the "habitual Of

WOMAN MOTORISTS
IN FEW ACCIDENTS
But Rostmeyer Doubts That Proves
They Drive Better Than
Men.
Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE. August 17.-Are women
better automobile drivers than men!
According to police statistics they are |!
In Baltimore during the first five
months of 1929 there were 1874 auto
drivers involved in accidents. Records
show that 8,106 of these were men and
386 women. OF the 1872 others, records
do not state the sex.
John P. Rostmeyer, director Of the
Baltimore safety council. is one of those
who, even in the face Of such evidence,
refuses to believe that the female auto
mobile driver is more careful than the
male.
Admitting that safety council records
show far more accidents with men in
the drivers seat of the vehicle than
women. Mr.. Rostmeyer insists that
other factors must be considered.
mo one" says Mr.. Rostmeyer, has
computed-or would be able to compute
statistics on the number of hours
women drive and the number that men
drive. But this is important. Most
women motor for pleasure, whereas the
streets are filled all day long with men
who spend large part Of their working
days driving. Furthermore, a good share
of a mans driving is done in congested,
downtown districts"
Women drivers. on the other hand
have a champion in an official of the
police traffic division, who said:
Women, as rule. are better drivers
than men. They think faster and that
thing called intuition is their ally, and,
as a rule, they aren't so reckless with
their own bodies as men. A motor &C
cident, soaring a face or Gripping a
limb is more feared by a woman than
a man. For this reason the woman
motoriSt Is less likely to take risks"

ROAD TO HISTORIC
AREA OPENS IN FALL
New Higaway Will Make Scene Of
Graft ana Lee Warfare
Accessible by Auto.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PETERSBURG, WA new delight
will be offered motorists this Fall with
completion of an improved road into
Petersburg National Military Park.
The new highway will make acceSSi-
BILE to automobile traflc the breast
works of the famous 10-month trench
warfare between the armies of Grant
and Lee in the closing chapters of the
Civil War.
The road will run between opposing
breastworks, whose contours still are
ominous after "a years of peace, and
touring parties will find maze Of dug
outs, mine tunnels and rife nests worthy
of the World War.
The Army appropriation bill passed
by Congress and signed by President
Coolidge provided for restoration of the
ancient mo Mans Land" but stipulates
that there shall be no changes in the
"diggings" of Grant and Lee.
The Crater battlefield. where Federal
losses 1000, will be the central point of
interest for tour parties, while opposing
forts, Sedgwick and Malone, will flank
the labyrinth of restored tunnels,
trenches and dugouts.
Completion Of the park will preserve
for all time the finest examples Of
American Civil War engineering to be
found. While large part of the park
is still inaccessible to the motorist, and
will be until the road is built, many Of
the tunnels can be reached easily.
Much of~the new park is already open
to visitors. Monuments have been
erected in the park by several States
whose sons fought in the battle.

mans heart Is to tell him that he has
such broad shoulders"
: AS a general rule, policemen have
but little to envy any man In this re-
spect. They mostly are all broad
shouldered, husky chaps; They have to
be pretty good physical specimens 10
secure the Job.
They are, moreover, usually inclined
to think that they are very impressive
sight in their trim blue uniform. So
you see there Is another perfect oppor-
tunity for you. All you have to do to
shatter what little combative spirit he
may have left is to say: my! How
funny you look In your uniform. 1t
must be because you have such narrow
shoulders and that peculiar shaped
waist"
But II he gives you the slightest in
dication that he intends to arrest you
regardless-then is when you want to
play your trump card. Say to him, "Oh,
oficer! I think you look and act so
funny. know the Judge and the
other people in court will Just die
laughing tomorrow when I tell them
what q scream you were"
Then all you have to do Is gather Up
your marbles and drive home.
There is an old and very true
proverb which says: THE exception
always proves the rule"
It Is with this exception that I In
tend to deal in next weeks article.
Because as you viii realize, any excep-
ton to the predicted success Of the
rules I have laid down in last weeks
article for men and this weeks article
for women-can have but one result.
And that result is: That they will find
themselves obliged to appear in trafdc

even this remote possibility cease to
worry you! For in next weeks article

1t Is possible to reach this region from
Upper Saranac Lake by running via
Upper Lake and Long Lake to Deer
land, then down to Forked Lake Garry.
A ferry will take your car across
RaQuette Lake to the south end of the
lake, at Raquette Lake Village. The
road then runs to Eagle Bay and Old

An unusual return trip to Albany from
this region would be to run down
through Alder Greek to Barneveld. then
over to Poland and up through Wilmurt

REMOVAL SALE SIGNS
LEAD BUYERS ASTRAY

Some Stores "Have to Be Out by
September, but Fail to Specify
What Year.
NEW YORK (N.A.NA)-"Removal
sale-must be out off building by
September" read the signs on many
a store front, but they don't say what
year. These signs are put up, not al
ways Of course, to appeal to the hordes
of Summer visitors who are trusted to
believe that far in signs.
One shop has had this sign on its
front every Summer since 1925 and it
has not moved yet. The haberdashery
shops are most addicted to this petty
custom, because men are more careless
in their shopping and less observant.

 FUNDS FOR ROAD

KODIAK March ', Especial TO the Gateway Following an ancient highway tnat was used by the Rus SianS over 100 years ago when they .ock their grain to the old grist n:ill on Mill Bay four miles north of Kodiak, new road is to be built soon which will be a boon to the honesteaders in that section of the island. The old mill was built on the outlet to Loon Lakt, and curing the first quarter of L1lc last century, the residents Of Kodi ak. the first permanent settlement of Alaska, who received their grain rom colonies along the Californla coast, took their wheat and barlcy and corn there to be ground Per haps at some not distant day af. other mill may be built there but | will grind the grains that will be "aised on Kodiak itself
 Tho matt" of an appropriation of at least S15000 is expected to be acted upon faVorably at the forth coming session ot the Territorial Legislature, so that the old road can be put in modern shape. There are number of homesteaders out n that direction that will be bene- slted ard it is declared that a good road will bn the cause of many more hon nsteaders locating along the line for agriculture and stock raising pursuits.
 Althc at times impossible ill heavy weather, the old road has in later years served Kodiak well since it taps heavily-wooded DOT ton of the island. From Mill Bay and vicinity has come most of the timber that has gone into the con- struction of the town as well as the fuel that has warmed it for many winters
 Furthermore, this road over the beautiful hills of Kodiak, will form the nucleus of the Shelikoff High way around the north end of Kodi- Ak and down Shelikoff Straits which will some day be built to open ur vast country to settle 1lent where thousands of acres of splendid grazing land awaits the conlirg of the homesteader and Stockrnan.
