This Is the conclusion readied by Northwestern university psychologists after a atudy cf personal characteristics of commercial bus drivers aa related to their accident records. Extensive questionnairea amor.5 bus drivers with both good and bad records were issued, in order to determine which personality factors coincide with accident pronenes*. They found that, contrary to general belief, differences between safe and accident- prone drivers on the Job could not be attributed to any differences in visual acuity, depth of perception, night vision, recovery from glare, complex reaction time or mental test scores, but rather to basic personality differences which tend to make an individual "accident-prone'* or "accident- free." Rigid company screening, however, had eliminated applicants who were markedly deficient in the former qualities, the educators pointed out. Answers showed that the accident* prone drivers tend to decide things on the spur of the moment, without forethought. They like to tell "tall stories" and enjoy parties at which there la a lot of "loud fun." They have a ready, often unreasoned, retort when their work ia criticised. The safe driver will stick with s "lost c^ise," think about himself and Ilia plans a great deal; and although believing a person should get eight hours of sleep to be healthy, he wears himself out by taking on too much work. He prefers conservative styles In clothes; likes to think through a problem before he tackles it, and enjoya spending an evening alone. ---- MM of Interest Taken Proa the Pile* or the PlaMealar •f TOMS Af* c in f.

Dr. Reynold L.

In caudal anesthesia the drug is Injected in the lower end of the spine and blocks the nerves to the organs of birth. In the soinsl method the drug is put directly into the spinal fluid. The use of caudal anesthesis has not become exteAiive because of the special training required to administer it, according to Dr. Haas. sn us FOR NEW '41 Prompt or immediate delivery on most models Runabouts and Utilities ORDER NOW!
