groups of fine horses grazing in the
fields. Nothing strange about this. for
you're now in a nationally known
horse breeding region. Road marker
D-22 explains that you're now in the
town of "Warrenton. scene OF the
famed annual horse show where some
of the finest horses in the country vie
for the blue ribbon. Fox hunting in
Fauquier County has been famous
since long before the Civil War. A
noted point in the Civil War"
Follow route 2l1 straight through
the city. You notice preponderance
of stucco homes with green windows
and trimmings. Your speedometer
reading says 472 miles, little more
than half way to your destination.
From now on the broad highway
becomes increasingly hilly. In fact,
there's one two-mile stretch just be-
yond Warrentcn, where you experience
the sensation of looming along on a
roller coaster.
THE Rappahanock River is crossed
and Amissville is reached. Just
outside this hamlet you get a grand
view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
All through here are Zig-zag rail
fences OF the kind so popular in
grandpa's time And to make the en-
vironment seem quainter still, you
even run across an occasional horse
and buggy!
You are delighted to find that much
of the road from now on is fringed
with shade trees. But it is well to
drive cautiously because of the many
extremely sharp curves.
Massies Corners is the next town.
Some of the fine estates in this region
are fringed with stone walls that look
as If they were at least 100 years old.
The road through here is smooth. but
not safe for fast driving because of
soft shoulders.
AS you pass through Sperryville you
are right spang in the mountains.
Your ears start to buzz as you climb
the high grades. Numerous signs warn
you to watch for falling stones and
| you get magnificent views of the
valley below with its winding road
and sharp turns. All around is a
thick forest of lovliest deep green.
Pretty soon. rising ever higher on
a mountain, you find yourself on
Thornton Gap. A sign explains that
the elevation is 2.304 feet. and that
you're now in Page County. named
for John Page, Governor of Virginia,
! 1802-l805.

thing of beauty and JOY to the mo-
torist.
Henceforth, too, you encounter lots
of road signs advertising the caverns.
Certainly Virginia believes in ballyhoo.
Every mile or so enormous billboards
extoll the beauties Of her innumerable
parks, caverns and scenic gems. Be-
ginning about half way between Falls

pops up now and again.
A veritable masterpiece of wellkept
homes. yards. gardens and farms is
this region. Apple orchards and sweet
corn are coming along nicely. Grape
vines are of to a flying start. Every
where the perfume Of honeysuckle
tempts the nostrils. Virtually every
residence is covered with rambling
roses IN full bloom.
Just before you get to Fairfax the
main highway breaks in two. If you've
never visited the town, by all means
take the branch heading to the left
and slow down Your Virginia key
book will tell you lots of interesting
things about the county formed in
| l742 and named for Lord Fairfax, pro-
prietor Of the Northern Neck.
But if you choose to skirt the town
then continue on 2l1. the main high
way, which takes right turn.
A FEW minutes more and you pass
through Centerville. From now
on there are so many road signs that
even with the help of your guide book
it's next 10 impossible to keep tab on
them all However, it's fun to take
note of few, for you're now in the re-
! gion of Bull Run, the stream which
is said to have been red from the blood
shed at the battle fought here early in
! the Civil War. Marker C-20, for in
stance, tells you of the first battle OF
Manassas Bull Rum. Mcdowell
gathered his forces here July l8. 1861.
to attack Beauregard, who lay west of
Bull Run. From here a part of the
Union Army moved north to cross Bull
| Run and turn the Confederate left
wing on July 81. This movement
brought on the battle.
You now skirt the town of Manassas
and motor through the tiny towns of
Gainesville, Buckland and New Balti-
! more. 1t is wise to slow down here
for the roadway surface has just been
given a new tar coating and there are
occasional soft spots and weak shoul-
! ders.

day trip to that scenic paradise in the
near future. A few minutes more
through the winding mountain road
and you hit the town of Luray. Your
mileage meter reads trif1e over 80
miles. About a mile further is the
entrance TO the caverns.
First thing to do is park the family
f1ivver in the regulation parking space.
Glance at your watch. If it registers
close to the half-hour mark you may
visit the caverns very shortly. Tour
lists tours are made every half hour
from 8 in the morning until 9 at
night.
Ticket Office. information booth and
entrance to the caverns are all in
the same one-story building. A free
booklet describing the caves beauties
is available to all visitors. There Is
a comfortable rest room.
XOUR guide book offers complete
details about the cave. But here
is some information that may pave
the way for your visit:
The caverns of Luray are formed
under an enormous hill in Page
Valley. This hill has an elevation OF
about 1900 feet above sea level ano
rises about 200 above the surrounding
valley.
The caverns consist of many large
rooms, connected by natural passage
ways. These do not lie in straight
away course, but radiate from a cen
trail space. A small map of the cave
looks something like the web of 8
spider Yet the tour requires no re-
tracing of steps. The route is con-
tinuous though circuitous, leaving
entrance hall by an avenue to the
right and returning by another ave-
nue. to the left. The tour takes about
an hour and q half on foot.
An experienced guide accompanies
each group of visitors. If you're
lucky you'll get that well-knowr
patriarch, 1. R. Strickler. He look.
/ like the movie conception of Uncle
Sam-chin whiskers. gaunt face ano
kindly eyes. Papa" Strickler. as HI
is affectionately known, is &c year!
old, was born within three-fourths o.
a mile of the cave and actually ha!
been working here on and off for 4:
years. He's past master of the mos
interesting spiel imaginable; not tot
much science, but just enough to holc
your interest while keeping you il
stitches with his dry humor.
Just one final word of warning be
fore you visit the caverns. Keep i;
sharp eye on the youngsters ant
don't let them touch anything. Holc
fast to grandmas arm. It's rathe
slippery in spots.

er's engine was due to one of the
heater pipes coming in contact with
the top of spark plug. Current was
actually jumping from the plug to the
water, passing through the rubber hos
ing, which is often porous to high ten
sion electricity.
While you will have the service man
do the work, there is much in knowing
that the process of reverse flushing the
engine block is just the opposite OF
reverse flushing the radiator. For the
latter process the mechanic will direct
the water and air stream upward
through the radiator core, attaching
the nozzle to the lower outlet of the
radiator. For cleaning the engine
block it is necessary to direct the
water and air stream downward
through the top of the engine. The
engine thermostat should. of course,
be removed before this flushing is
begun, and the lower water hose should
be disconnected so that the rust laden
water can exit freely. In flushing the
block, the water pump will also be
cleaned.
If trend in home building is any
picture of things to come, the Amer
ican woman is slated to take back
seat once more as a motorist. This
suggestion is found in the increasing
number of small homes that are being
built with a garage for just one car.
Possibly it will be the family car, and
perhaps milady will have so much
spare time, as result of her newer
aids to housekeeping, that she will
be driving hubby to business and pick
ing him up again at the end of the
day. A better guess is that there
may be a trend back to the one-car
family. That would be unfortunate,
If only because it would tend to lessen
woman's influence in motoring. 1t
would mean taking off the road what
statistics show to be the safer driver
of the two sexes.
The one-car garage is an abomina-
ton. From every standpoint it misses
fire. It means that when you have
guests one car must stand out in the
elements. Even if there is but one
car in the family 1t provides no extra
space for those many articles which
rightly belong in the garage. That
the one-car garage is an economic
falIacy is best proved by the income
many persons receive by renting OUT
the second space In their two-car
garages. incidentally, am told by
the architects that the garage is now,
in American jargon, the motor room"
An automobile club member writes
me as follows:
'In coming down steep grade.
as in descending a mountain, should
the driver turn of the ignition and
come down In second or first gear
or should she leave the ignition on
and come down in first or second?'

self, which will be painted on one side
only of the fuselage OF his airplane
just before the take-off.
The hare can fly at any speed or
any altitude but must confine his
fleeing to a predetermined area, to
be marked out on maps furnished each
of the competitors, who will be the
hounds.
After the hare has been given a
10-minute start the hounds will
take off with a barking of exhausts
and the eager whine of fast-revolving
props. The object of the hound pilots
will be to find the hare, get close
enough to him TO read the number
and return to the airport as quickly
as possible to report to the contest
official.
AS the number is painted on only
one side of the plane, the hare, by
twisting and turning. may effectively
prevent a hound who has 'cornered'
him from reading the tell-tale mark.
The first hound to return with the
correct number will be adjudged to
have caught the hare and will be
designated as the winner.
In the event none of the hounds
report back the correct number within
As minutes after the take-of the
hare will be considered as having
escaped and will be designated the
winner. There will be prizes.
Golf Contest Scheduled.
While the hare and hounds are up
stairs going here and there about
their business, there will be a golf
driving contest for association men,
bers who are not flying. There also
will be trophies for the golfers This
contest will inaugurate the new ground
sports facilities of the associations
club house at College Park. Luncheon
will be served for members in the
club house.
On Sunday. July II, members OF
the association will be the guests OF
Mrs. Thomas Somerville, 5000 Six
teenth street, mother of Harrison
Buddy" Somerville, former president
of the association, at her Summer
home, Somervilla, near ShadySide,
Md. Because of a lack of suitable
landing facilities in the vicinity, the
trip will be made by automobile from
College Park. There will be aquatic
and athletic contests.
The association has modified the
method of selecting the annual win
ner of the association trophy, awarded
to the local aviator who has con-
tributed the most during the year
to the advancement of aviation in
Washington and vicinity. In the past
the winner has been chosen by spe-
cial committee Under the new sys-
tenn, candidates for the honor will be
selected by a committee, but the
winner will be elected by vote OF
the full membership.
The winner must live within the
District or 20-mile radius OF the
District Army and Navy pilots,
whether regulars or reserves are not
eligible for the trophy, and it is
provided no one person may win II
twice in succession. The trophy now
is held by Somerville for his work
last year as president of the aSsocia-
tion in promoting local amateur and
sports flying The 1884 winner was

She also asks whether the foot brake
should be used at all
The ignition should be left on. With
the throttle closed to the idling po-
sition the engine will exert practically
no pull on the car. That is, COM
preston braking will be almost as
good as if the ignition were switched
of. There are two advantages in
leaving the ignition on. One is that
it prevents blowing out the muf1er,
for switching on the ignition at the
bottom of the hill may fire unburned
gas vapor that has collected in the
muffler. The other it that with the
ignition on and the engine ready to
work it is possible to make gear
changes to meet any unforseen stu
alton ahead
Whether the brake should be used
depends upon the speed of the car.
If speed increases it is well to press
the pedal several times to keep the
car from gaining too much momen-
tum 1t is always better to slow
down and release the pedal rather
than to hold your foot on the peda
for any prolonged time, even if mod
crate pressure is used "Dabbing'
helps to keep the brakes from over
heating.
