IN "TOO MUCH SPEED" TESTS
Drive Big Motors Through Crowded Streets to Show How to
Make Haste Slowly hut Safely
lYnu students sunk deep in .Tunc
lethargy sat up and took urgent notice
about noon today,
Truck drivers perched high on grimy
chariots dropped their jaws. Well
bred pedestrians forgot their Planners
and stared. You'd have done it, too.
Here's why.
Miss Mary Mahood, a brunette nnd
pretty (of courso), drove a ilve-ton
truck nt noon from Forty-fourth nnd
Spruce streets to Twenty-third nnd
Chestnut streets.
Down sleepy Spruce street she
started, through the bustling traffic nnd
over the cobbles of Wnlnut street bridge
she continued nnd triumphantly sue
eased up to the curb of n truck com
pany nt Twenty-third nnd Chestnut
streets. Not a mishap !
The young woman, who comes from
the sunny South, flung out her hand
with the abandon of an old-timer when
she wanted to tell her brother truck
drivers to lay off. She stopped and
started without stalling. She gave the
horn n vigorous jnb at the same mo
ment that she nfiirmed, honor bright,
she had never driven a truck before.
And when she got down from her
perch she rubbed a hand, n bit grimy,
across a flushed face und said "easy!"
Three Girls Take Test
The drive wos the climax of a test
given girl truck drivers by the Key

trucks by girls will be a feature of
