MISS ADA CECILIA FAHEY

MISS ADA CECILIA FAHEY
The announcement of the death of
Miss Ada Cecilia Fahey, which oc-
Cured at her home a few miles south
Of Oakland Tuesday morning at 100
o'clock, came as a distinct shock to
her many friends in Oakland and the
country roundabout, Miss Fahey be-
ing so we'll and favorably known to
a great number of people. Her illness
was of less than a weeks duration,
death being due to blood poisoning
which had its inception on her face.
She was % years and 6 months old,
being daughter of the late John
Fahey and Mrs. Ellen Fahey. She was
born in Grafton, West Va, but came
to Garrett county with her parents
as a child where she grew to woman
hood and was educated. For a few
years after leaving school she taught
in the public schools of Garrett coun-
ty. She gave up this work about two
years ago for the purpose of remain
ing at home with her mother. Miss
Fahey was the youngest of the fam
lily and besides her mother she is sur
vived by three sisters, Miss Nell
Fahey, at home; Mrs. Rose Duffy, of
Watertown, Conn, and Mrs. Nora
Carey, of Jersey City, N. j. An only
brother, the late Edward Fahey, died
at Grafton, about three months ago.
The remains of the deceased young
lady were taken to Grafton, West Va,
on train No. this morning and the
funeral services will follow in the
Catholic church of that town upon
arrival there today.

WARNING TO AUTOISTS
TO BEWARE OF FOGS
This Is The Season in Western
Maryland When Caution in
Nriy7ir,r Tc Eo-5 NTncoe,:4y

With the arrival of the season in
which tourists are likely to encounter
fogs in many sections of the State,
the Maryland Automobile Club, Cum
berland Branch, has issued a state
ment urging all car drivers to be par
ticularly careful when encontering
this dangerous driving condition.
''The season of the year has come
when fog is encountered almost night
ly," says the director of the branch.
"Some drivers make the mistake of
using only their dim lights. They
cannot see any better with DINNERS
and they increase the risk of head-on
collisions. For their own safety, and
the safety of others, they should use
their headlamps. To tie white hand
kerchiefs over headlights increase the
visibility somewhat; to use orange
colored cloths is even better. This
precaution stops all direct unrefected
light, which otherwise would illumi-
nate the particles clouding the atmos-
rhere, and reflect back into the eyes
OF the driver. No device, however, is
a cnaoplete success against fog. Only
thoughtless or ignorant drivers at
tempt to drive rapidly through fog.
Caution is the only real accident pre-
ventative."
