This quéstion “is Been asked Ly a great many p&. e through the coufitry and in JHtain. At recent conferenees hel@in of the larg- er cities it was A L epeakers that tomobile drivers observers sta highways lead! a3d on the Berling turnpike have Boticed that the worm a are more care- ful and do not attenpt to travel at an excessive rate of peed as the men do. Clarence fic duty about I says that in his opinion the majority of women are more careful and tactful than the men. In his opinion, & man gets a machine, drives for the first two or threo weeks with care and then has to start going fast in order to show off in front of his friends and let thein know he can drive .4 car. The next thing the driver knows he is haled into court for speeding. Few people realize that one quarter of the automobiles Whch pass through Main street in New Britain during cho day are driven by women. This state- ment was vouched by Mr. Lan- pher. The women are more cguious than the men and give the trafic men littlo troyble. Policeman Lanpher says, however, that the majority of men who have driven cars for over 4 period of from flve to six vears are more dangerous drivers than the “green-horns.” In explaining this sit- uation, Policeman Lanpher said that the men have had théir cars sometime and think theéy know everything there is 16 know in regards to driving a car. They become careless and after a while cannot estimate the rate of speed they are going without having a speedometer in front of them. It will also be noted that few wom- men, in comparison with men, are OW far do you go on a gallon of gas? The Single-Six is always good for seventeen miles or .

The women, as has beea stated before, are careful when driv- ing and go slow. The only trouble with the fair sex drivers is that they be- come frightened muck more easily than men and in the cse of an acci- dent are liable to lose control of thé car quicker. Motorcyales a Menace The greatest menace to a trafic policeman, Policeman Lanpher olaims, i{s the motorcyele. According to the traffic cop, there are not as many motorcycles on the road today as there were during the period of the war. “If there is a motorcycle .n view I give him the signal to pass and get him out of my way as quickly as. I can,” he said. According to the stalwart policeman, few people realize how dangerous ate the motorcveles. During the war figres show that a great number of such machines wers owned by foreigners who understood little or nething about the machine and still less about the trafic regula- tions and were always in trouble. Lan- pher recaled a hearing held in Hart- ford two years ago at which he was in attendance. A state motor vehicle policeman approached him and “told him that he never knew of a city as Douglas, Red Cross and Hemck ngh or Low Shoes in the Store To Go at These Two Prices These Shoes, As You Know, Have Always Sold for $8, $9, $10 and $12 a pair bad off as New Britain was in regards to motorcycles. Off all the arrests mude along the Connecticut shores that time, the largest number of motorcyclists arrested were New Brit- ain peopw. It was necessary for the state policeman to travel at a rate es- timated to be 55 miles an hour to catch some of them. When the first man was caught for traveling at this rate through North Haven, he could speak very few words of English but Wwas able to tell the. officer that ine came from ‘‘New Brit.” There is & much lesser number of motoreycles on the road today and Of- fices Lanphere advances the theo: for this to be the fact that because the several accidents caused by the: nachines the majority of the drivers hve sold them and now run small au- tomobiles. The war prosperity period also gave many a chance to purchasc such machines who at the present time cannot afford to operate them.
