All of this has nothing to do with the driver's habits as affected by his economic status. 'In going over the accident records of drivers we classed as' married' all those who had dependents, and aa 'single' those who had no dependents. The records show that the material status has no effect upon the accident record. A married man la as likely to have automobile smashups as a single driver.

"Age semed to have a more Important bearing on the matter. Driv ers from 20 to 29 years of age had considerably more accidents against them than those between the ages of SO and 39." 1 This Is believed due to the fact that the older man has had his cau tion developed by experience to a i greater extent than the younger, and also to the fact that his nervous reaction to emergency need In nuo-moblle driving has been stimulated. 6CNBUKT MAN' KTTiMTD AT CAMP.
