Smith A blanket of fog over the valley had kept us in the .house by the fire during the morning, but alter luncheon Mr. and Mrs. Safe Driver came to take us for a ride, declaring the fog was lifting and it would be nice In the sunshine. Asked for his ideas on driving in fog, Mr. Safe Driver explained: "One should never drive faster than they can see; that Is, It should be possible .to stop the car within the distance clearly visible ahead. This might mean slowing to five miles an hour, but it might also mean the difference between a safe Journey, or accident and injury." Mr. Safe Driver also pointed out that too many people do not realize the distance necessary In which to bring a car to a stop. Such drivers, he said, are the cause of many acci dents. By this time the women folks were ready to start for Ashland to get a drink of that famous llthla water. As we reached the city limits we heard a roar and a car went past us like we were standing stllL Just aa It passed a rear tire blew out. Mr. Safe Driver stopped close to the other car, feeling the driver must have been In a great hurry owing to some emet-gency, and would appreciate aid. Asked If we might be of any assistance, the fast driver replied: "H--1 no, can't a fellow ride on these roads without someone butting In?" Mr. Safe driver asked, "were you not on an emergency trip?" and the young driver ans wered, "what's It to you?" We proceeded on to Ashland, think ing of that Jingle: "There was a young fellow named Ray a good driver once, so they say. He Just loved to speed, gave to traffic no heed well see him I hope, that grcr.t day." 4 About 1.500.005 refugee axe eatl maied to have left Russia during the war and the political turmoil in the years 1017-1920.
