When motor vehicles first ap-
peared at the beginning Of ibis
century. it was the start Of an
entirely new era OF social be-
havior. New situations were
thrust upon the new motorlst
for which no precedent had es-
tablished proper manners. Horse
and buggy etiquette was soon out
dated and was not replaced. Eow-
ever. 1t was not until after World
War ! that automobiles became
so popular that they could be
counted by the millions ana little
by little became the unsolved
highway problem for today.
Now with approximately forty
million motor vehicles used SO
extensively for both business and
pleasure we are ali exposed many
hours each week 10 this human
problem in a relationship which
was unknown TO the generations
Of yesterday.
Bad traffic manners would
seem TO be due to the shortness
of their existence. After all
courtesy has been slowly devel-
oped through the ages and its
precepts handed down from gen.
Grafton TO generation. The auto
mobile Is still so new and has
come upon our society SO rapidly.
that In one or two generations
we have not completed the neces-
sary code for our proper use OF
it.

Babies May Start Thinking
Three Months Before Birth

PHILADELPHIA mans de.
velopment follows the pattern OF
the lower animals, he begins 10
think. or his brain is at least ready
TO start thinking. three months be-
fore birth.
That this might be true is indi-
Gated in researches reported by DR..
Louis B. FleXner of the American
Philosophical Society.
DR.. Flexner studied the nerve
cells of the gray matter of the
brains of guinea pigs at various
stages in their prebirth develop
ment. About two-thirds of the way
through the prebirth period. a Sc
ries Of abrupt changes" occurred
in the nerve cell.
Nerve processes started to grow
rapidly. The volume of the nucleus
of each cell stopped increasing. An
engine believed to have a useful
energy-yielding activity increased
sharply to the adult level of ac-
tivity. Other engines responsible
in part for the combustion Of food
stuffs, increased rapidly to the adult
level.
At the same period the nerve
cells for the first time are cleo
trically active.

Franklin H. Williams asserted that
"even a cursory examination of
