81 Percent Of
Arizona DriuerS
Are Women

PHOENIX, Nov. 10 (UPD-The
records of the license division of the
motor vehicle department Of the
state highway reveal that in Arizona
81 per cent of the applicants for
drivers licenses are women.
A study of the ages which women
give when they fill cut the appli-
cations for a license, reveal some
interesting trends.
Between the ages of 16 and 10
years "a per cent of the appli-
Giants are women. The percentage
of women applicants then steadily
goes up until it reaches 43 per cent
females between the ages Of 80 and
"a years.
Then the proportion of females
starts to decline until it is only 20
per cent of the applicants for driv-
ers' licenses giving ages between 40
and "A years.
For some inexplicable reason there
is a jump up to 33 per cent females
among the applicants who state
they are between As and 40 years
old.
After that there is a rapid de-
cline in the proportion of feminine
applicants for drivers licenses to 16
per cent giving their ages as be-
tween so and "a years.
After that age, there are no wo-
men applicants for drivers license
whatever, although a few men con-
Ginue to apply up to the age group
of IS to 70 years.
