Bright Lamps Prevent Driver
From Peering Out Into
Darkness.
ENGLISH MANUFACTURER
HAS NEW ELECTRIC BULB
His Invention Has Mirror Opaaue
Patch Which Rejects Rays Down
wardiy and Horisentally.

With the approach Of winter foggy
nights are on their way. While fog does
not attain In this country the thickness
OF the proverbial London fog. and is not
as prevalent here as in England, never
theless 1t makes Its appearance thick
enough, especially at night. to render II
great source OF danger.
The trouble is that the driver cannot
see ahead far enough either to. follow
the road at any speed or to avoid other
vehicles. when his lamps. are lit. The
most natural thing to do In q fog is to
light all the lamps and Nlamips the sub
ject as much as possible. The m6ter:st
then finds. however. that he 10 worse OH
than before. The illumination seems to
be localized all around the car. and
the driver Ii surrounded with q luminous
mist. shut of from the rest Of the world
By an Opaque white curtain. Where be-
fore he could faintlv distinguish the
lights of other vehicles. now he can
see nothing but the white curtain.
Light Reflected into Drivers Eyes.
The reason that this illuminated mist
seems opaque Is that the light from the
lamps IL reflected into the drivers eyes
in quite great quantity. The iris Of
the eye has the faculty Of adjust ng it
self to the illumination, becoming. small
er or larger as the amount Of light be-
comes greater or less. Tho effect is that
this important part of the eye admits
just the amount OF light which will afford
the best vision.
The fog sends g. considerable AMOUNT OF
light to the eye. ana the IRIS Immediately
contracts In respuhse. 1t had previously
been fully expanded to admit ali the lish.
possible and, give maximum vision in the
DARKNESS. Now, however. 1t is contracted
to give maximum vis.cn In the light-the
light that shows nothing. The feeble
rays Of light from other vehicles are still
penetrating the fog as usual, and reach
ing the eyes OF the driver, but the con-
tracfed IRIS does not allow them to enter
the eye In sufficient quantity to make an
impression on the optic nerve
Gould the iris remain stationary. the
other lights could be seen about as be-
fore through the white mist. This.
however, would hurt the eye.
Red Rays Are Best.
This is the physiological cause Of the
trouble. The physical cause, as has been
stated is due to the reflection Of the light
by the fog. 1t has been found. however.
that red rays of light pass more easily
and with less reflection. than the other
visible rays of light. Hence, lamps have
been made which will produce a ! CHI
made up principally Of red rays. Ont
method Is to use tinted glass. This cuts
down the amount Of light BIZ altering out

what of rough one in places, but by ex-
ercising care the trip will not prove an
arduouS one.
From Leesburg there are several roads
leading to the National Capital. any one
of which may he selected by the tourist.
The road via Falls Church, which has
recently undergone somewhat of an i'm
provement, starts out from Leesburg
macadamzed for a distance of severa.
miles and then becomes dirt road. This
route leads through Dranesville. and COM
ing into Falls Church another stretch of
macadamized road continues the remain
ing distance into Washington. Taken as
whole, this trip. which may easily be-
| divided into two or three days. as the
notorist sees fit. is delishtful one. and
especially at this season OF the year. The
mountain air is always crisp and invigor-
ating, especially when run Is being
made during the early morning hours.
The itinerary of the trip and the dis
tances are as follows:

corner, and after going short distance
turn is made to the right and steep
ascent made through the town. This
road is followed in a westerly direction.
passing through Bolivar Heights en-
route. From here the route is over a
good macadamized roadway to Halltown.
little settlement. situated at the point
where the roads fork for Charles Town
and Shepherdstown Turning to the left
at the railroad station the same type OF
road Is followed to Charles Town, which
Will be found to be quite a good-sized
town.
Passing through the center of the
town. the motorist turns to the left at
West street and heads for Berryville,
passing through Clifford en- route, about
five miles from Charles Town. just De-
fore entering Berryville another tollgate
is encountered. where additional FUNDS
are handed out. From this point on the
toiIsates are scattered along the Nigh
ways. Tickets may be secured, however.
for the various points on the valley pike
by paying lump sum at one or the
gates. thus saving considerable incon-
venience on the trip. The toll between
Winchester ard Stanton amounts TO
x4.Go. and II the motorist returns over
the PIKE the same day no addluonal
! charge is made. If il goes into another
day similar charge is made for the re-
turn trip.
Turning to the right at Berryviile
me oiIeu ROAD NlilCS through inc " SSiCih
part OF the Old Dominion. and after a
run of about eleven miles the historic
town of Winchester is reached. On the
road over from Berryville there is one
particularly sharp curve, at the top OF
a steep grade, and although the road IS
posted to that effect careful driving is
necessary in making the descent TO the
iron bridge. where the curve is located.
\ toll gate is located just on the out
skirts of Rerryviie and another one just
before pulling into Winchester.
From Winchester IL is clear sailing
down the Shenandoah Valley pike. as II
is the only main artery passing through
that section of the country. The nigh
way runs through the villages OF Ste
phens City. sMiddletown. Strasburg. Toms

Visit Lnray Caverns.

Motorists desiring to visit the famous
Iuray caverns may do so by turning TO
the left at New Market and making a
run of fourteen miles over the mountains
to the little town of Luray. The caves
are located In Page county. Va. In

and celebrated for its historical associa-
ton.

where the good macadam road terminates
and the trail leads over the mountains
into Harpers Ferry.
At Knoxville the tracks of the Baiti-
more and Ohio railroad are crossed ana
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal followed
to point just beyond Wererton, where
the railroad is recrossed and the ascent
begins The scenery at this point IL also
inviting and varies as the tourist con-
tinues on his journey. There is posi-
bility that some day the fine macadam
highway which extends from Frederick to
Knoxville will be continued right into
Harpers Ferry, and when that time does
arrive the time will be greatly reduced
between the two points. Incidentally mo-
florists are advised that chains are not
permitted along that stretch OF highway
between Frederick and knoxville The
writer was informed few days ago that
several motorists were compelled to
part with some of their cash because they
were using chains on the machines one
rainy day recently while passing through
that section of Maryland.

Toll at Ferry.

Winding around the base of the noun
tain the road crosses the Potomac river
at It's junction with the Shenandoah
river over a long bridge, which runs
parallel TO the railroad bridge at this
point. Just before landing on West Vir-
gina soil the motorist is halted by a
toilgate keeper. who exacts funds from
m for the privilege of using the roads
of that state.

which is all that could be desired. Speed
ing. however, is not permitted over II
and motorists are warned 10 abide by the
speed laws, as one of the deputy sheriffs
is always ION the job along this fine
stretch of highway The distance to
Rockville is l5J miles
Passing through the center of the town
a turn is made to the right at the top OF
the hill in Rockville. and the macadam-
lied highway followed to Gaithersburg,
tive miles up the pike After leaving
Rockville. the macadam roadway ends
and the motorist finds himself proceeding
over the ordinary country type of road
10 Clarksburg. twenty-nine miles from the
starting point. The motorist continues
straight through the town. and after a
run OF four miles finds himself entering
the village of Hyattstown, situated on
the side of one of the steepest hills be-
tween Washington and Frederick. Care
should be exercised in descending this
grade, as there are several water breaks
In the road before the bridge is crossed
at the foot of the hill.

A Stiff Grade.

\ stiff grade. equally as bad as the one
entering the town, is encountered in de-
parting from the town. although this is
broken 10 some extent by several curves
on the outskirt of the village From
HyattstoWn the country IL of the rolling
town en- route from Hyattstown Is Cr-
hama, where the right fork is taken
through the town and the trip continued
ON to Frederick. crossing the Monocacy
river, "A short distance out from the town
The motorist enters Frederick via West
Market street, which is followed until
Patrick street is reached in the center
OF the town. Here sharp turn is made
to the left out West Patrick street to
what Is known as telegraph HILL" Here
the motorist finds fork in the road. The
road 10 the right leads to Hagerstown
and Martinsburg.
The road to the left extends to Harpers
Ferry, which is the one to be followed on
this trip. The road out from the county
seat is of the macadam type and is in
excellent shape for touring. This eharac-
ter OF road winds over the mountain tops
and the scenery all along the route Is
fascinating, to say the least. The far
famed Blue Ridge mountains are plainly
visible for a great distance and IL is only
q question of hours spin before the
motorist finds himself right in the heart
OF the mountains and descending the other
side. From Frederick the itinerary takes
one through the little and enterprising
villages of Jefferson, which is about eight
miles distant; Petersville, another five
miles beyond, and thence into Knoxville.
