SAFE AND SURE. ALSO SWIFT

Not long age a noted motorist was
asked how he explained the fact that
Notwithstanding the records he had
made in cross-country runs he had
been able to avoid accidents. His
exact words are not recalled but they
were to the effect that he had trained
his mind and Judgment to look
ahead and foresee contingencies and
possibilities and so made it possible
for him to maintain high rate of
speed safely.
Recently a test was made in the
city of Portland. One driver was to
cover a given distance as quickly as
possible, while the other was to do so
but observe all the rules Of the road
and safety provisions. The latter
won the race. This emphasizes the
conclusion that reckless driving is an
exhibition of brainlessness rather
than of smartness.
