Furnas pertly engineered highways an inevitable appeal to the impulse toward community-improvement that has always characterized American women. And so forth and so on. Heretofore women hare pretty well left the promoting of motoring-safety to men. The ' scheme we are working on will, we hope and believe, do much toward en listing American women's energy and Intelligence in the victory phase of the battle to force uncon ditional surrender of the death that rides the highways. I believe it is the duty of every American to Join Good Housekeep ing Magazine in its coming crusade for safe driving. They have chosen "Think Safety" as their slogan and It Is high time we started to do it. WOODLAND W. M. S.
