About one in every 12% ¢ the licensed male there were 183,000 last year, are in accidents. It is pointed out, however, male operators, taken as a whole, do considerably more driving than wom- en, and that the ratio stated, there- fore, may not be a fair one. Nearly all drivers of commercial motor ve- hicies, for instance, who spend prac- tically their entire working day at the wheel, are men. The gr: maji approximately every women who operate in ac- ity of women operators drive private | passenger cars, for which the acci- dent arte is lower than for any other class of motor vehicles, except motor- cycles equipped with side cars. About €0 per cent of the, women who were the drivers of cars figuring in accidents are listed in the depart- | ment records as “a friend of the owner,” which is a general classifica- tion made for department conveni- ence, including wives and other rela- tives of car owners, a8 well as pros- pective relatives, and others, Ap- proximately 85 per cent of the women in accidents were driving their own cars, and 5 per cent of the owners, whereas 20 per cent of | the men in accidents were employes | of the owners of the cars involved, | 10 per cent friends of the owners and ahout per cent the owners them- selves, Over 70 per cent of these accidents were found by the department to have been caused by the operators, ahout 20 per cent the fault of others, 6 per cent the fault of defective equipment, and 4 per eent the result of other misc ancous eircumstances, Jap Press Frowns on Schurman as Ambassador By tho Assoclated Press.
