Women Drive Best--her. Going to the next-door home of the most constant complainant, Sweeney explained how he had settled the matter. In appreciation, the man volunteered to kill them for the policeman, and a woman neighbor—also a complaint—volunteered to pluck and clean them for him.
Men Drivers Preferred By Most Americans
That the average American would rather ride with a man driver than a woman, although nothing was said about the woman who drives from the back seat—was shown in a recent newspaper poll.
Although the argument as to who is the better driver hasn't been settled, the poll did show that 60 per cent of those interviewed would prefer riding with a man, only 8 per cent with a woman driver, and to 32 per cent it made no difference.
---From Back Seats
The women decided, by 78 per cent, they preferred a man driver. So did 95 per cent of the men questioned.
Supremacy of Man
Why should a man be preferred? Well there were some interesting answers to that question. One newspaperman advanced the reason that he "believed in the supremacy of man—whatever the issue." Others figured that men "think faster than women" or "men are more level-headed."
In rebuttal, one of those questioned asserted "a good woman driver is the best driver in the world."
As a matter of fact, the women do claim the best no-accident record. Only 7 or 8 per cent of the accidents in the United States involved women drivers. Of course, there is a ready answer for the 60 per cent who do not want to ride with women drivers.
No Data On Totals
There is no data on the total miles driven by the two sexes, nor the conditions under which the truck drivers, taxi and bus drivers do much of their driving. But the newspaper poll did find that the women claimed better no-accredit records, by a margin of 32 per cent to 44 per cent of those questioned.
Insurance experts insist that women do not run the same risks with the law of averages that the men do, and that the average man, on a typical day will travel about eight times as many "car miles" as the women drivers.
Fried Chicken Settles Family Argument
But all the results of this survey will come to naught, for it will not settle the age old argument, as to which sex is the better driver.
REVERE, Mass. (U.P.)—The best way to stop a neighborhood squabble is to remove the cause, even if you have to eat it, according to Patrolman Arthur Sweeney.
Two lusty-lunged, earlyrising roosters were the cause in this case. Sweeney tried to convince their owner that she would have to silence them, but was stumped by the question—"How?"
So Sweeney bought them from

The neighborhood once again had peace. Sweeney had a feast.
N.Y.A. Will Offer No Summer Session Jobs
There are no jobs available to Summer Session students through the National Youth Administration this summer. The N.Y.A. funds are granted for a period of nine months only, covering the two semesters of the regular session.
The N.Y.A. office remains open all summer to receive applications from students desiring work next fall. Grades of the applicants during the past year will be checked to see if they meet the requirements for N.Y.A. students. The all-University average for 1938 and 1939 will be chosen as the minimum requirement. This has not been determined yet but it will not differ a great deal from the 1.3 of the past few years.
Second Faculty--- (Continued from page one)
Pittsfield, Mass. (UP)—The power behind a mosquito's bite is the punch of a super-lightweight, an exclamation point is four times heavier than a period, and there are about 2,300,000 gains if sugar per pound.
Power Behind Mosquito's Bite Equals Punch of A Super-Lightweight
(Cranscribed by Mary Howe); Caprine Viennois (Fritz Kreisler), (Freely transcribed by Jacques Miller); John Peel (Old English Hunting Song), Transcribed by Ruth Orcunt, (Dedicated to Allie Merle Conger). This transcription of an old border melody follows the four verses of the song, describing the galloping-by of the horses, the barking and baying of the hounds, the sound of the hunting horns and the hunting call. "View halloo!" A second English hunting tune, "Drink, Puppy, Drink," is used as a counter theme in the toast. A distant "View, halloo!" is heard at the last. Miss Conger, Miss Orcutt.

The throbbing sting of the mosquito bite results from a small object indeed, according to Dr. Miller's figures. The mosquito's stinger weighs only .000018 of a gram, or .000006 of an ounce.
Punctuation is also a lightweight
The sugar problem was one of simple arithmetic, basing the number of grains on the weight of one, which is .0000068 of an ounce.
matter. Dr. Miller's measurements disclose that a period weighs only .0000001 of an ounce. This comma (,) is twice as heavy and an exclamation point weighs all of .0000003 of an ounce.
An eyelash, too, is delicate. Dr.
Miller said one of his own tipped
the scales at 0.000017 of an ounce.
The scales, enclosed in a dustproof celluloid case—a few flecks of dust would throw it off balance—were loaded with forceps to prevent moisture from the hand from affecting accuracy.
The University school of education began as the Normal department, with an enrollment of 35 students.
Additional Play Equipment Added to Quadrangle
Additional shuffleboard equipment has been added to the Quadrangle, and many more persons will be able to play.
Mrs. Frances McMillan, a member of the Community Recreation class, who has taught school in Alaska, has taken charge of the children's activities. Miniature croquet sets are available, a sand box, horizontal bars, teeter-totters, and a "monkey maze" are all providing fun for the youngsters.
