DRIVERS' TESTS The question ol making a phy sical, as well as an optical and aural examination of drivers of automobiles and trucks, before issuing licenses, has been repeat edly suggested as a measure of safety for both the driver and the public. Recently so many acci dents due to some physical im perfection in the driver or from auto-fatigue—a newly recognised condition—have resulted in ef forts being made to study the subject scientifically, with a view to ascertaining how these elements of danger in driving may be entirely eliminated or else greatly reduced. Physical Examinations Beyond question, every man, woman, or youth to whom an au tomobile license is granted, should first submit to a thorough physical examination before a competent and unbribable board of medical men. Defects of vi sion or in hearing or a lack of co-ordination between the brain of the driver and his muscular control of the car should posi tively prohibit him from getting a license. I know one young man who seems to lack co-ordination be tween his brain and his muscles to such an extent that within ten months he has been in ten acci dents, three of them almost fa tal—and he is a non-drinker. He should never have been given a permit to drive a car. Heart Attacks Many persons, especially those over 60 years of age, are liable to have heart attacks, or else apo plectic strokes which may cause them to either kill or maim themselves or others. It is for this reason that there are always two men in the cab of a locomo tive —the fireman and the engi neer—both qualified to run the train. Reeently Dr. A. H. Ryan, an eminent physiologist, had five young, strong men, in perfect physical condition, drive five dif ferent makes of autos a distance of 80,000 miles each, to obtain authentic data regarding auto fatigue and accidents. Every move made by these men was scientifically checked, such, for instance, as hand and eye co ordination, postural steadiness, Don't Buy a Stove Until You See the AMERICAN SUN FLAME OIL BURNING H EATER S No Other Line of Oil Burning Heat ers Offers Such Outstanding V al - They Are To day's Most Mod ern Heating Ap pliance!

Identical Conditions Each day's run covered a dis tance of 250 to 300 miles, over the same route in identical wea ther conditions. Even the num ber of steering wheel movements were recorded as well as a rest less movement test, which show ed that these movements in creased with growing fatigue. They took to the road at 8 ajn. and the most hazardous time of the day was found to be between 4:45 and 6:15 pan., after which a true danger period was reached. Accidents, it was found, always happened when the driver had some unusual and abnormal mental strain or muscular stress.
