TEST FOR HUSBANDS
Prospective brides are advised by the American Automobile Association to test the men they propose to marry by making them drive through traffic blocks. The A.A.A. says in a recent i-eport: “A half-mile drive through tooting horns, screeching brakes, and traffic policemen will show a girl what manner of man her fiance is. If he makes faces at other drivers he has a bad temper. If he gives short toots on the horn he is nervous. If he fails to keep pace with the traffic he tires easily. If he monopolises the road he has bad manners. If he recognises the rights of the man in the smaller or older car he is a good sport. Many a man who is quite polite normally will be shown by a little tough traffic to be a bully at heart.”
