"Wonder Wife" Gives Advice on Driving

Her Record Wins Medal From Hubby

Chicago -- (NEA) - Women Drivers have been advised not to window shop from a moving automobile and to save the latest choice bit of gossip until the car is stopped.

Now, hang onto your seats, girls! This advice came not from a die-hard male, but from one of the country's foremost women drivers, Mrs. James J. Ingels, wife of a Chicago manufacturer.

The No. 1 "Wonder Wife" (300,000 miles behind the wheel without an accident or traffic violation!) admitted that inattention is the No. 1 fault of women drivers--but she hastened to add that the same weakness can be charged against men, too. Where women let their eyes wander to a new chapeau in a shop window, men mull over business affairs while they drive -- with the same disastrous effect.

Drives 25 years

That's why she began driving her husband on business trips 25 years ago, and Ingels cheerfully, even proudly, admits that she keeps her eyes off hats while driving better than he keeps his mind off business. In fact, he thinks so highly of her skill at the wheel that he had a gold medal struck off at his own expense and presented it to her.

Such unusual goings on by a husband in full possession of his faculties inspired the National Safety council to organize a :Wonder Wives" club, in which any wife can achieve membership by driving 10,000 miles or more without an accident or traffic violation --IF she gets her husband to admit it in a signed statement. Mrs. Ingels, of course became the first member.

Mild-Mannered

The electric brougham of another era would seem more in keeping with the prim grace of Mrs., Ingels than the long black sedan she handles with such ease. She is not the athletic type, nor is she aggressive and cocksure. Slight and mild-mannered, she doesn't believe a woman must have muscles or the reflexes of a champion to drive safely.

"Safe driving is mostly mental," she says, "and paying attention to what you are doing is the most important part. Modern cars don't require strength to drive, but modern traffic requires alertness every minute.

"I never let my attention wander, never window shop or turn my head to talk to others in the car. I try to think about driving all the time, what might happen next and what I should do about it.

Let Them Pass

"And here's another thing-- I never get nervous or impatient in traffic. I let the speed demons go around me, and sure enough, when I get to the next stop light, there they are waiting for me. I take it easy. Hurry causes accidents. And I guess that is all there is to it."

Of course, it's only a woman driver talking, men, but a woman who has 300,000 miles of safe driving to prove that she isn't talking through that hat she didn't look at as she drove by.

Tracy DeVault's note on his work:

"It turns out that there were a number of Peter Nelsons born in Sweden about the same year as our Peter August Nelson and living in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. Several of them were, in fact, Peter August Nelsons. Searching Ancestry.com for records for our Peter August Nelson returns records for many other Peter Nelsons.

Here is what we know. Our Peter August Nelson was born in Sweden about 1875. In the 1910 Census he is listed as August Nelson. He is living with wife Ethel, daughter Ethel, his wife's sister, Daisy Burke and Daisy's daughter, Irene Burke. In the 1920 Census he is shown as widowed and living with his daughter, Ethel D. Nelson. In both of these census records, our Peter August Nelson lists his occupation as a baker.

I have been able to eliminate several of these Peter Nelsons. I mention them here because information for some of them shows up in Ancestry trees as belonging to our Peter August Nelson.

The first is a Peter August Nelson born 10 Feb 1875. He married Anna Unknown before 1918 and installed elevators for a living. This Peter August Nelson died in early October 1949 and is buried in Graceland Cemetery.

The second is a Peter A. Nelson that married Ida Mathilda "Tillie" Holmquist in 1902.

The third is a Peter A. Nelson, born in 1874 in Sweden and had a daughter, Ethel (1905 - 1953) who married Victor Edward Karlsen.

The fourth is a Peter August Nelson born 22 Nov 1885 in Sweden. In 1918 he worked for Chicago Rapid Transit."
