BY HOWARD S. FISK.
AOOMBI NATION MaYyland-Virginia
trip in a motor car on a
Sunday afternoon to Leesburg,
Va.. and return via White's
ferry makes an enjoyable run.
The distance from Washington is about
forty-six miles and for the greater portion
of the way the roads are good. Mo
A I J
t'iristM who take tiie trip ar^ not mjun-eu i
t?> display a Virginia license, the District I
insignia denoting the fact that reciprocity
still exists between the Old Dominion
and the National Capital. The same cannot
l?e said of Maryland, which requires
every District motorist to display a Maryland
license tag and also carry his license
card for driving a motor car. A car disrlayingX
District license Is permitted to
use the roads or highways of any state in
the 1'nion except Maryland. A few years
ago It was Maryland and New Jersey,
but last year the skeetcr state let down
its bars, and now a motorist Is welcomed
into its confines, and the more money he
spends in the state the more the inhabitants
and merchants like it.
The most popular route from Washington
is out Connecticut avenue extended
to Bradley lane, turning left at the Chevy
Chase clubhouse and turning to the
right at the other end of the lane where
it joins the Tenleytown-Rockville turnpike.
Those who preier to motor out
Massachusetts avenue extended turn to
the right at its junction with the same
pike, in tiie uirection of Rockville. By
following this pike, which is considerably
worn in places, the motorist should take
the right fork at the blacksmith's shop at
Cethesda. miles from the starting
point. The trolley tracks are crossed at
this point and again about four miles
further up the road.
V
Pass Through Rockville.
The road for the best part of this route I
into Rockville Is of the macadam type, I
and after a run of several miles the t
county seat of Montgomery county is I
reached. Attention is called to the speed 1
ia<rrnu M'hioh or/. m tho rierht i
I A i i J 11 ?? tl?v II v 1VX.O.W. ? >
on a trolley pole. The speed limit within
t.ie corporate limits is six miles an hour,
and violation of this law calls for a fine
of $25. Passing the courthouse on the
left, keep straight ahead through the
town and alongside the trolley tracks.
On arriving at the top of the sight
narrow grade, turn to the right
and head for Oaithersburg. which is
the next town of importance on the trip.

"'
Aif Inviting STKXTCM
The road here is of an improved macadam
type and has recently been put in
fine shape by an oiling process. Follow
this road, disregarding all side paths or
roads until tlalthersburg is reached,
which is about live miles from Rockvillr.
Just before pulling into tlal hersburg.
however, there is a slight detour
owing to that portion of the road which
is Mi 1 in an uncompleted state. The
detour parallels the new road and is
only for a few hundred feet.
At Oai hersburg the macadam ends
nd a dusty road takes its place. This
is followed for a short distance up into
the center of the town, crossing the
Baltimore and Ohio raiiroad tracks en
route. Just after passing the church on
.he main street turn sharply to the left
over another good stretch of road, recrossing
the same railroad tracks. This
ne* pike extends to l>awsonvilk\ a distance
of nearly ten miles. Bearing to
the right, the road is continued over to
yulnce Orchard, a small settlement, and
nn arrivinsr here a right turn Is made.
At the end of the road at u church
bear right through Dames-own, and two
ml es further on is the village of Dawsonvtile.
* * *
Poolesville Next Town.
The next stop is Poolesville which is
passed through, and within a short time
White's ferry looms into view. The road
s somewhat rough just before reaching
the ferry, this being practically the only
bad stretch of the entire run. A bridge
.-rosses the C. and O. canal just before
Jropping down to the ferry. On arriving
at the ferry the machine is run aboard
an old-time Tlatboat. and with the aid of a
fable and two tillers is guided across the
Potomac river in a short space of time.
The charge is > cents a car. The proprietor
of the ferry is thinking of installing
a motor on his ferrj boat, and If this
is done considerable time will be saved
by patrons of tbc line.
Arriving on tin other side, the motorist
ascends a. slight grade, whieh for jears
was in a moat deplorable condition. This
has all been remedied now. The old road
has been graded and a good macadamized
pike ha-s been constructed by the owner
of the ferry. After leaving the ferry
and motoring about a mile a sharp turn
is taken to the left over another fine
macadamized roadway for Leesburg, the
terminus of the run. If it is desired to
extend the trip this can be done by driving
over the mountains in the direction of
Paeonian Springs, Hamilton, Pureellville,
Hound Hill or Bluemont, all of which are
on this side of what is known as "Snickers
Gap," which overlooks the Shenandoah
river. On the other side of the river
a tine oiled macadamized highway extends
to Berryville and Winchester. Toll of
80 cents Is collected for crossing the
bridge at Castleman's ferry, acroFs the
Shenandoah and aualn along the pike between
Berryville and Winchester. Incidentally
there are several other routes returning
frotn Iveesburgr to Washington,
but motorists are advised not to attempt
them just at this time, as they are more
suitable for an endurance run than a
pleasure trip. The White's ferry run is
considered the best, and for this reason
most of the traffic headed for the Shenandoah
valley is over tills particular
route. '
The route from Rookville to Quince :
Orchard, via tlalthersburg. while a few
miles longer than that from Rockville to
Qulnee Orchard direct. Is all over vood
macadamized roads, while the direct
route is ovc-r an ordinary country road
and quite rocky and rough in places.

required sixty teet.
The establishment of its new branch in
St I?uis is in accord with the idea always
held by the Locomobile Company
that too much attention cannot he Riven
to the mutter of providing complete service
facilities for owners of cars.
The first branch of the company was
established in New York city in 189t? during
the early days of the industry, and in
the following year branches were opened
in Boston. Chicago and Philadelphia.
From time to time other branches have
been opened in the larger cities, until today

New Signal Law.
Up to September 2.1 motorists in Cincinnati
have been prohibited by law from
using any other form of signaling device
than the bulb and reed horn. Following

an Investigation into the cause of an increasing
number of street accidents, the
council came to the conclusion that the
inadequate warning of the bulb burn was
largely responsible for a great proportion
of the s:reet fatalities in which
motor ears nyere concerned. September
151. accordingly, the bulb-horn ordinance,
which had been in for e Since December
14, ItVih, was repealed and a new <>ne
enacted. This new ordinance i? more
than an amendment, as it differs radically
from its predecessor. It reads as follows:
"Section 8,'rt. Every motor vehicle or
motor cycle while being used upon the
streets of this city shall be provided with
a suitable boll, horn or other signal ticvice,
and it shall be unlawful for any
person to use any device which will not

nerve as an adequate warning of danger,
and it shall be unlawful tor any person
tn make or cause to be made any
unnecessary noise with any such bell,
horn or signal device, or to use the same
except as a warning of danger. Automobiles,
motor cycles and other self-prOpelled
vehicles shall not emit unnecessary
smoke."
The new ordinance closely resembles
those recently passed in Chicago, St.
Louis and Newark, and Indicates a progressive
trend In motor car legislation in
this regard at least.
