 MT. Cass further stated that the restaurant is air-conditioned for both summer and winter use.
 The entire premises is done in a light pink motive. even to the pink tinted mirrors, flourescent lighting Eliminates the spacious quarters, tables and side walls are formica pannelled, and on one wall opposite the sandwich bar is a large two fig- ure mural
 The kitchen equipment would be the envy of any housewife. Dishes are washed and dried by machine, dozens of ice boxes and frigidaires line the walls everywhere, and all sorts of modern mechanical devises to make houSework a pleasure may be seen at every turn.
 The management has done every thing to make this newest addition to the system the finest and most complete possible, and in this they have succeeded admirably.

 Dr. Selling is finding that very little can be told about a persons proficiency as an automobile driver from the most meticulous medical examination of his body, except in a few rare cases. How well the person can use his eyes, even how rapidly he can move his foot from

 He Is also irritated by people who make a few observations and think they have found the cure for reckless driving. Search for such a cure is a complicated task which requires not only thorough analysis of all factors irs each traf- fic accident, but also a wide amount of training to be qualified for the analyses.
 Dr. Selling, himself, has seven advanced degrees, including three doctors degrees, and attended four universities. He is member of 26

 Chubby, black-eyed Dr. Selling has had special apparstus built for testing trafflc offenders. Some of these ingenious devices are in his large office where he sits occasion ally glancing out of gigantic win- dow which is some 20 feet high.

A peculiarity Dr. Selling finds distinctive of many women drivers is their tendency to keep too far away from the right-hand side of the highway. He believes that this may be a mild form of claustrophobia, or the fear of being cramped.
 Traff1c accidents incl ease among older persons, he also learns, due to their tendency of being overly cautious.
