Cautious Females!

The female of the species may or may not be more deadly than the male, but she is a lot less liable to get killed accidentally. This is indicated by figures in the the 1942 edition of ACCIDENT FACTS, the National Safety Councils annual compilation of accident statistics.
 Women were involved in only 30 per cent of all accident fatali- ties, the gallant males assuming the load of the other 70 per cent Women accounted for only 25 per cent of motor vehicle fatalities, 13 per cent of firearm deaths, and 13 per cent of droWnings.
 On the other hand says ACCI- DENT FACTS, women were al most as careless as men when it came to suffering deaths from falls (49 per cent), burns GA per cenO, and accidentally taking poisons GA per cenD. In no ma 1or category of accidents, how ever, did they exceed the death rate for men.

Request Puzzles
 Board Of Works

Controller Thomas M. C0nl0n explained today that a trans fer requested of the board of works last night for interest on water bonds was for bonds sold this year for the pipeline and dam projects. Board members, puzzled over the request, last night tabled it for a month.
 The bond issue was sold in February, MT. Conlon said, and interest of $2.S0O was due as of Aug. 1. The February issue was in the amount of S30O,O00.
 Works board members thought that the transfer was sought for payment of interest on regular water department bonds and asked why provisions for such payment had not been made in the 1922 budget.

Clever People, These Chinese!

The National Safety Council points out that while their com patriots in China have been vali- antly fighting the battle of the democracies for the last five years, the Chinese in America have earned commendation by being the safest drivers of any racial group in the country.
 Citing figures from the 1942 edi- tion of ACCIDENT FACTS, its statistical yearbook, the Council awards the palm to the Chinese for having motor vehicle acci- dent rate 40 per cent lower than that for the nation as a whole, with full account taken of the number of miles driven.
 The Japanese, on the other hand, have a motor vehicle death rate more than twice that of the Chinese, and 20 per cent above the national average.
