WOMAN BEST DRIVERS

Cold facts prove women to be better
and more careful drivers than men.
Figures compiled by Travellers Insurance
Company reveal that 10 1885 the ratio
of male drivers in fatal accidents to the
total number IN all accidents was 81 per
cent greater than for female drivers
while in 1884 the ratio of male drivers in
fatal accidents was not only two per
cent worse than for male and fema,e
drivers combined but 81 per cent worse
than for female drivers as a class.

We're in the Machine Age now,

Human life no longer stays put,

CHANGING TIMES
But why peeve about that? Why
go around chewing your nails and
bleating for the Good Old Days
when all was slow and safe and
cozy? That's what the cave man
did when the first matched hut
appeared. He, too. deplored chang
ing times, wanted to hide behind
his safe and solid boulders.
But the human race came out OF
its cave despite his bleats. moved
out into the open. took to the
trail. disappeared from his tiny
Enclosure over far and dangerous
horizons.
Life as well as Time marches on!
And if you can't march with it,
partner, you're as doomed as the
Neanderthal man or the vanished
monsters of the reptile age.
The world has no use today for
the person who boasts that he
makes up his mind, then never
changes it,. Nor for the person
who sticks by his principles so hard
that you can't sell him a new set.
Such people are not, nor ever were,

been, a pain in the nick to both
God and Humanity.
NEW CHALLENGES
For truth isn't stationary e.
invariable a rigidly defined
rule. eternally established. Truth
flows. Truth changes. Truth
grows as fast as our growing
spirits are able to receive it.
Truth is an infinite as Life itself
and no man can ever determine
it by his diminutive understand
ing, or encompass it with his
childish imagination.
Which. though you may not
know it, is the SWEETEST break you
could have. For if you dare flow
with Life, change with Truth, you
need never grow old. There will
always be new changenges, new
adventures, new answers.

PERU


Peru is coming in for it's share
of tourist traffic as interest in
Pan American affairs becomes
greater.
A few years ago, the majority
Of the voyagers to the east and
west coasts of South America were
business people, merchants, sales
men or engineers. The talk in
the smoking room was Of nitrateS,
or what the Brazil coffee crop
would be that season.
But now it is different. People
compare their favorite spots in
South America and debate the
merits of the trip over the Andes.
Brazil, Chile and Peru are now
more than names. They are travel
memories to many persons.
Peru is mostly known as the
center of the great Inca 'civiliza-
ton and today many voyages
make their way to CuSco, the
place that has been termed the
archaeological capital of South
America. But before we 60 to
Cusco there are many other inter
esting and lovely places to be
visited.
LIMA IS BEAUTIFUL
We put in at Callao, the main
port, which is less than nine miles
from Lima. the capital of Peru.

} There were no colds among the
natives until the arrival of out
siderS carrying them. At trading
post in Labrador, the winter caused
not a sniffle, but when a mailman
arrived with a cold it was only a
matter of a few days before it had
spread to practically everyone else
at the post.

Century and it was the City of
Kings" built on the site Of an
Indian village famous for its
Oracle, once visited by thousands
of pilgrims. Lima became the cen
ter of vast territory which today
includes several republics. and
there are traces of its former
greatness left. Part of the walls
that existed when Lima was
walled town are still to be seen.
Today Lima prides itself on be-
ing essentially modern and each
time the visitor looks around there
are more new bouleVards and
parks to be sem.
One turns from the new Lima
with its picturesque suburbs and
smart country clubs to the old
churches and palaces that even
yet reflect the almost Oriental
splendor of Lima's early history.
There is the massive cathedral
where the mummy of Francisco
Pizarro, founder of Lima, is on
view in a glass casket. The old
palaces are simply gorgeous.

story. typical of this period OF
colonial Spain, gives key to the
former appearance of the city.
The Wrought-iron grilleS, the stone
carvings, including coat of arms,
all tell vivid story Of the Con-
quistadoreS.
Much of the life of the city
today revolves around the Plaza
San Martin where there are shops,
hotels, restaurants and moves.
Not only is there the race track
and a sports stadium, but a bull
ring and ring for cock fights, a
sport that is most popular in this
part of the world. Not far away is

Even if the visitor doesn't care

there is a visit to the University

DR.. w. G. Smlllie, of Harvard,
has convinced himself after ex-
tensive studies that the common
cold is not due to zero weather or
to exposure. He made four expe-
ditions to isolated countries and
reached the conclusion that the
disease is caused by a germ, and

For instance, Senator Bennett
Champ Clark, hard-hitting bark
er from Missouri, has been to
Joplin.
He returned in time, however,
to put in his ideas on the flood
control. During the debate on the
amendment to set up a commits
sion to decide who'll come first
when the dough is dished instead
of leaving it up to the President,
he stepped right down with this
one:

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-05-29

that the person with a cold is an
infection-bearer for the first three
days.
DR.. Smlllie found in Spitzberg-
en- that the people came through
intensely cold weather and terri
fic winds with no i'll effects. With
the arrival of spring and the
boats from the outside world,
most Of the people caught colds.

cold. But DR.. Sewall deduceS
some in the crew had a chronic
sinus infection.
Instead of "Stay out of a draft"
and Don't get your feet wet" the
watchwOrdS today are, "Stay away
from him that has a cold"
In fact, there is some statement
about sentiment abroad in medi-
cal circles for strict quarantine
on colds. 1t is no joke to have
100000 people sneezing and
shifting at some time of the
year or other.

cold germ are the victims of
chronic sinus trouble.
Grandma's ideas about colds
have been pretty we'll discounted
today. DR.. j. A. Doull, of West
ern Reserve University, speaks the
common agreement of medical
science when he says:
"YOu can catch cold by in
lection only" on the other
hand, DIR. DOull insists, "YOu
cannot catch cold by sitting in
a draft. You cannot catch cold
by stepping into a cold room
after a hot bath. You cannot
catch cold by getting your feet
wet. You cannot catch cold
by rushing outdoors without an
OvercOat."
I'll agree with DR.. Doull on his
last proposition at least. I've had
that proved to me by at least two
persons, one being Tom Gal
lagher, champion billiard player,
and the other Lou Gehrig, cham
pion baseball player.

says, are somewhere in the Dor
derland between living and non
living matter" 1t is his belief
that the cause Of the infections
has been solved.
DR.. Dochez tells what causes the
cold, and DR.. Sewell now offers a
solution as to who causes them by
carrying around the germs. He
tells that chronic infection of the
sinuseS is the reservoir from which
come epidemics of colds and even
influenza.
DR.. Sewell is another who cites
the Eskinos as examples that colds
are caused by infections.
