THE ART OF LLEWELLYN JONES
By Paul Hyde Bonner
F.;d to the teeth with his very
proper life and his very rich wife,
Edith, a member of the diplomatic
corps disappeared without a trace.
F. Townsend Britton had laid his
plans well. His new clothes, name,
baak account and accent ware no
accident. Every possible contin
gency had been anticipated. Final
ly settling in a smnll ?outh?rn town,
, Townsend, now Llewellyn Jones,
made friends who never suspected
that he was a man with a past.
In his new home Llewellyn also
found a car. er in art. With patience
he cultivated this heretofore un
suspected talent. As his knowledge
end ?bility increased, he became
more confkVnt that his identity
would never be discovered. A
chance meeting with' his beautiful
daughter confirmed this conviction
when she failed to recognize him.
With a little finagling Llewellyn
Jones procured a passport and
moved to Franco to continue his
study of art. In acquiring a house
. in -which to live and paint, Mr.
' Jones also acquired an excellent
rock, model and eventually a mis
tress in the person of a young
French woman.
Complications began wten a
young American girl whom Llewel
lyn had met soon ?!ter assuming

sought to continue their friendship.
She approved of the cook and the
model but i.-sented his having taken
a mistress.
With an acceleration of pace, a
Parisian art dealer decided to have
an exhibit of Llewellyn's paintings,

en American art .meseum and Edith
Townsend arrived in Paris. A
meeting between Edith and Jones
was inevitable, could not to avoid
ed. Would his long undetected dis
guise be adequate for this test of
it? Would it shield him from the
vindictiveness of this woman he had

i'dith would answer these ques
tions.

Rules For Safe Winter
Driving Are Announced .

aalcner Bo*d-i Scheldt.
itesed o* scientific research b.
,ue National 8* ety Council. Sclieki
said toe following could be con
sidered cardinal rules for a at;
a-inter driving:
1. You art the key to your own
safety. Driving conditions are
definitely less favorable In winter
It's up to you to winterize your
car. win tor -wise your driving ted*
niques and determine to do your
beet to avoid accidents.
2. Rely on good tires and tire
chains. Have good tires. You may
prefer xoow tires for winter, but
you still should carry reinforced
tire chains for the more severe
conditions which can and will de
velop from time to time. Even with
tl. ? help of snow tires, or the much
greater help of chains, you should
reduce speed on snow and ice.
3. Keep windshield and windows
clear. Be sure your iwiper blades
nr.; in good condition, and that
wiper arms have adequate pressure
to swep snow and sleet off rather
than slide over it. See that heater
and defroster are working evident
ly. Clear saow and ice from the
windshield and all windows of your
car before \onturing onto the high
way. Ventilate, to ke?p windows
from fogging.
4. Get the "Jeel" of the road.
In order to avoid unintentional slid

j*ty the pavement it. Then ad-/
just speed to ? comfortable, sale
fats governed by existing condi
Jow.
5. FoKow at a safe distance. Keep
; good margin between your car
and the vehicle ahead. It takes
chainless cars irom thr.ie to 12
Ltmes more distance to stop on snow
or Ice than it does on dry pave
ment. Following too closely is
.ioiibly dangerous on winter roads.
6. Pump your brakes. A pump
ing action permits you to maintain
1. 1 tie." stirring control on ice or
-lippery snow, a last application
and release of brakes? one or two
times a second? will give you short
Intervals of maximum braking ef
fort separated by short Intervals
of controlled steering while wheels
are rolling.
"There's nothing much you can
do about winter weather? except to
tv prepared for it," Commissioner
Scheldt said. "But nothing protects
a driver as much as being prepared
for the added hazards of winter
driving."
The veiled Tuaregs of the Sahara
