Moior far company of Pontlac, discussed re cently the question of "The Woman Driver and tho Automobile," stating that the Improvements on gasollno cars had now done away with the objections offered In some quarters against the gasoline car for woman's use. "Women, as well as men today," he raid, "can learn tho Ins and outs of motoring within a few days by "reason of the simplified construction of gasoline cars. Time was when a woman had more or less anxiety about attempting to handle cars of this character, biit everything Is now so simple that the manipulation of the lever and pedals bo comes natural; In fact, almost auto matic In a short while. For Instance, 'n the Oakland ear the spark and throttle lovers are oh the steering wheel, the clutch and brake pdal at your right. Their proper nnd Instantaneous handling requires but little practice."

Assoclnted with the com mittee In on advisory capacity is George G Thomson, chief clerk of the 'Post office department These officials have developed the .plan of the parcels post and prepared thu details of Its operation. The drafting of regulations to govern matter transmitted by parcels post was personally directed by Postmaster General Hitchcock. One of these regulations Is that each parcel mailed must bear on Its face the nnme and address of the sender preceded by tho word "From." Parcels Intended for dispatch must be mailed tit a postofflce, branch postofflce, named or lettered station or ouch num bered station ns may bo designated by the postmaster.
