What Miss staggers says she was
told to find and what she is comb
ing the local hospitals to discover
boils down to this:
I'm trying to find girls that men
like. Women will be critical of
other women, but men will forgive
q lot Of things If the girl has a
pretty smile and can talk to them. /"
Apparently that's the kind Of girl
the airline is getting, too, Miss Stag
gers added, pointing out that the
average length of stay is about a
year and the girls rarely resign to
go back to nursing.
Miss Staggers claims there's no
glamour to the job of air hostessing.
And she ought to know. She wears

If you're "the kind of girl men

one talent scouts prayer.
Searching for local talent is Miss

is interviewing seniors from the
hospitals here.
But being nurse and filling the
physical requirements-21 to 26
years, 100 to 125 pounds and 5 feet
to S feet Sis only the beginning
of it.
The prospective air hostess has
to have pretty teeth-that make for
pretty smile.
Reticence Barred.
She has to be q good conversation
alist and know whether her pas
senger wants to chat or is a big
businessman with things on his
mind. But, 'if she's a shy, reticent
little girl we don't want her"
She can't be homebody-she
has to CAD about the country too
much. And she can't be engaged
or contemplating marriage in the
near future-the airline loses them
too fast through matrimony any
how.
She has to look well in q suit and
the jaunty cap that goes with her
uniform.
She doesn't have to know how to
cook-that's taken care of during
the five weeks training period she
spends in Kansas City where she
also learns geography. how to make
berth up, how to take tickets and
how to serve meals.
Bleached Blends Out.
She can't be bleached blond, at
least not obviously so. The men
frown on that, according to Miss

space for the number Of accidents
under 1899, space for 1910 acci-
dents and then two spaces showing
the per cent of increase or decrease
in accidents as compared with the
1899 figure.
Under this large chart is another,
divided into 1910 months and 1899
months, with the precinct numbers
at the side, one under the other.
Beneath each month is space
subdivided into three sections. One
shows the number of fatal acci-
dents involving pedestrians, an
other beside it shows the number of
accidents, aud in in the third section
is the percentage of accidents.
The same method of presenting
accident statistics during 1889 and
1910 is used in a second chart COM
pairing all traffic accidents by pre-
cincts.
The value of such comparisons,
according to Inspector Holmes, lies
in the fact that each precinct can
thus see easily whether pedestrian
accidents increased or decreased in
its territory during March, for in
stance, as compared with the same
month in 1899.
Increases Spur Inquiry.
Then, Inspector Holmes contin-
ued, if they increased, the next step
is to find out just what caused the
increase. 1t may be that too many
cars are parked in the street, caus-
ing bad visibility. Or, perhaps both
drivers failed to slow down when
entering an intersection. In any
event, the increase is a signal to the
precinct to concentrate on all traf-
flo violations Immediately until a
decrease is shown the following
month when compared with the
same month last year.
A study of the charts reveal that
sharp increases in pedestrian acci-
dents during March of this year over
March, 1889, occurred in only two
precincts-No. 2 and No. 13. Both
precincts are located in the same
station house on U street between
Vermont avenue and Ninth street
NV.
No. 2 showed 68 per cent in
crease, with 27 accidents last month
involving pedestrians, compared
with is in March last year. No. 13
precinct had 66 per cent rise in
pedestrian accidents, with IS last
month and 81 in March, 1899.
General Accidents Increase.
The same two precincts show
decided Jump in general traffic acci-
dents last month over March of last
year. No. 2 precinct had ITO acci-
dents as compared with 96 in March,
1889, while No. 13 had 105, an in
crease of IS per cent over the "a re-
ported in March, 1899.
While there has been a decrease of
68 in pedestrian accidents for the
first three months of this year as
compared with a similar period in
1899, general traffic accidents
showed an increase of LOG over the
2,617 reported for the first three
months of last year.
To date, however, there has been
q decided drop in traff1c fatalities.
At this time last year 20 persons
had been killed in traffic accidents

At the same time, Inspector
Holmes is making the rounds of the

with the commanding officers tc
formulate a comprehensive program
OF traffic enforcement.
Traffic deaths in this City can
and will be cut drastically," In
spector Holmes declared. by means
of this monthly comparison and my
follow-up visits to the precincts, the
police will be able to see just how
and where accidents happen in their
territory.

least in half"
This monthly accident compari-
son chart is an innovation, the in
spector explained. Last year it was
issued to the precincts only twice
But now the statistics are being as
sembled and sent out monthly.
The chart is composed of two Sec
tions-one comparing pedestrian &C.
cldents by precincts during each
month of 1899 and 1910 and one
comparing all traffic accidents by
precincts during the same period
of time.
These comparisons are further di-
vided into the number of fatalities
both pedestrian and motorist, and
the percentage of accidents in each
precinct.

Auto Liens Transfer
Bill Sidetracked by
21-33 Senate Vote
Overton Move Beaten
After Patronage
Fight Is Charged

The bill to transfer automobile
liens from the Recorder of Deeds
Office to the Department of Motor
Vehicles appeared today to be side
tracked until the next Congress, fol-
lowing the Senates refusal to con-
slider the measure yesterday, by a
roll call vote of 81 to 33.
Senator Overton, Democrat, of
Louisiana, who represented the Dis
trict Committee in seeking action on
the bill yesterday, conceded it prob
ably would not come up again, unless
the House should pass it and send
it to the Senate.
The successful fight against the
measure was led by Senator Thomas,
Democrat, of Oklahoma, supported
by Republican Leader McNary of
Oregon, and Senator Truman, Demo-
crat, of Missouri.
Sees Reduction of Fees.
Senator Overton explained the
purpose of the bill was to bring all
the records relating to motor vehicles
together in one place, so that the
director of traffic would have COM
plete information on which to base
the certificates of title he issues. It
also would reduce the cost of filing
liens on automobiles from $1.50 to
so cents, Senator Overton said, con-
tending the present fee is too high.
Senator Thomas of Oklahoma in
sisted the bill is patronage fight,
and declared it would decrease the
patronage of the recorder of deeds,
DR.. William j. Thompkins and in
crease the personnel of the Traffic
Bureau.
In reply to the contention of the
Commissioners that the cost of filing
liens would be reduced by the bill,
Senator Thomas presented a state
ment from DR.. Thompkins, reciting
that in 1885 the Commissioners re-
commended the fee be fixed at $3.50.
Senator Thomas said the recorder
OF deeds demonstrated against that
fee as being too high, and that it was
fixed at $1.50.
Cites Other Jurisdictions.
Senator Truman said he had no
knowledge of and was not interested
in the patronage question, but argued
that elsewhere automobile liens are
filed with the recorder of deeds. He
said if the present fee is regarded
as too high Congress could reduce
it, without transferring the function.
Eighteen Democrats, IA Republic
ans and l Progressive joined to de-
feat the motion to take up the bill.
Twenty Democrats and l Farmer
Laborite supported Senator Overton's
motion. The roll call follows:

Former Wilmingtonian Dis
cusses Economic Condi.
lions In Argentina

Ben Parmele, formerly of Will
rnington, and brother of c. B. Par
mele, who has been engaged in min
ing engineering in Argentina for
many years, spoke at yesterdays
meeting of the Wilmington Kiwanis
club on political, economic I'D
social conditions in that country and
of the relations between the South
American republic and the United
States.
He made an appeal to the au-
dience to do all possible furthering
pleasant business relations between
the two countries. He stated that
since the adoption Of President
Roosevelt's Good Neighbour" policy,
the United States has gained favor
among many people in the Argen-
tine and has greatly increased their
respect and admiration for Roose-
welt and other governmental lead
ers here.
1--WE seem to expect as a matter
of course the great American ma
tons to the south should feel
closer to u and give us preference,
but a large majority of our people
are almost completely ignorant
about them, and many of those who
do know don't take the trouble to
make a constructive effort toward
closer and more intimate contact
on equal terms"
Parmele said it would be to the
advantage Of the United States to
export large quantities Of Argen-
tine beef which is always sold at
lower prices than that produced in
this country.
He stated, too, that the average
Argentine is better informed regard
ing the Vaccinations Of his gov.
eminent than is the average Ameri-
can.
Yesterdays meeting marked the
first day of Aaron Goldberg's ad'
ministration as president.
