Any wife who wants to chal-
lenge hubby's comments that the
women cause all the accidents has
only to refer to "Here Today"
a safety booklet published re-
Gently by The Travellers Insur-
ance Company. She will find in it
facts which prove that 92.6 per
cent of all fatal accidents last
year were caused by male drivers
and only IA per cent by women.
In non-fata1 accidents, 90:3 per
cent involved men, with. women
involved in but 81 per cent.
Some of the sting in these sta
tistics will be removed when it is
considered that there are many
more men driving than women,
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1941-05-19

but the record is still one for
men to be ashamed of.
An. analysis of underlying
causes might reveal that the bel
ligerency of the men leads them
into trouble whereas the timidity
of women keeps them safe, but
such an analysis has yet to be
made.
The statistics seem to indicate
that unless men soon mend their
driving ways, it will be a wo-
mans world IN more ways than
|one-she may have Old Mother
Earth all to herself if male driv-
ers continue to sacrifice their
lives with reckless driving on the
nations highways.

Blue and a cowboy named Slim.
The scene of the lesson was Deer
Valley, hard by Clarence Buding-

correct to limit the scene of ac-

fore Blue finished with me he had
travelled far into Paradise Valley

make Newark by nightfall.
My troubles started when l
mounted Blue in Mr.. Kelland's cor

a season or so ago Blue was working
in the rodeoS from Prescott to
Cheyenne to Madison Square Gar
den. Neither did they tell Blue that

vaulted into his saddle from atop a
fence had never ridden anything
