Women drivers are more cautious
than men. Woelen are So anxious

Some men drivers are SO sure Of
themselves they fail to give any kind
of signal. They leave you beWilder-
ed =. you wonder il they are 60
ing to make a left hand turn or
right hand turn and oft-time, they
make a dead stop.
Men drivers are the ones who are
causing SO many accidents on high
ways and in streets. They are more
daring than women drivers, h e y
drive faster and more Wrecklessly.
The result, accidents and deaths.
Read your paper and you will find
than men drivers are the cause of
most fatalities.
I think they should initiate women
drivers, thereby causing less suffer
ing and dying.

naturally means that we vii have
more claims to divide our death BEN

Dress Designer Sees
Missionaries as Aid
To African Trade

PORT FRANCQUI, Congo, July
1S (CDN Completing an Afri-
can swing, a noted English fash
ion designer states that mission
aries on the Dark Continent" are
doing "a wizard job for the worlds
textile manufacturers"
In preaching modesty, they are
converting 100000 Africans an
nually to the use of clothing in
place of banana leaves.
What is more, they are cam
paigning assiduously for the
Mother Hubbard type of costume
which requires three times as
much material as normal dresses.
Ten thousand high-pressure
textile salesmen from Manchester
or New England couldn't be doing
a better job" states Esterre Erland,
who is en- route back to London to
present a resume of her findings
before the British Guild for Crea-
tive Designers.
The comely fashion expert says
that Africa offers the world in
.tensely interesting ideas in design" I"
She has a portfolio of sketches she
has made in South Africa, the
Congo Equatorial Africa and the
Gold Coast.
Tanned and Bug Bitten.
Suntanned and bug bitten from
the Congo hinterlands, Esterre
arrived at Port Francqui's only
hostelry, the Hotel des Palms,
from an overland trip through
Middle Africa's densest "bush."
II thought this was going to be
a pleasure jaunt." she said, "but
that was many thousands of miles
ago. Brush that scorpion off the
chair and have a cold glass of
malaria water"
AS for African fashions:
The European women of Johan-
neSburg and Capetown in the
Union of South Africa are the best
dressed.
Among the Africans, those in
French West Africa have most
imagination about their ankle
length dresses. They also use bet
ter color combinations and take
more trouble with their hair.
The natives of the Rhodesias,
Kenya and Nigeria have least or
tginality.
II guess it is the same old story
Of Paris and London" says Es-
terre. 'The French influence al
ways makes itself apparent. Eng
land has a wide-open field to i'm
prove the design of material it is
exporting to colonies.
Market Uncontrolled.
"This is evident in the Belgian
Congo where the market is un-
controlled. The Americans have
grabbed most of the textile busi-
ness. However. Belgian textile
houses in Leopoldville are coming
along rapidly"
Among the African tribal de-
signs reproduced by Esterre are
some taken from pottery, from
battle shields and from crudely
woven blankets. -
The clothing designs show a
sharp difference from colony to
colony. From her report. the
British designer hopes to help tex
tile firms in her country improve
the materials exported to Africa
by givtng.the natives the kind -and
colors they like best.
