In our next issue there will be another story from the pen of "The Original Winter Tourist" when the matter of his torical points of interest in the South will be treated in detail. "Washington to Alexandria (9.5) Gov ernment Test Road of various excellent materials, principally bitulithic. 9.5 to 13.0 Gravel base with hot tar mixture surface, excellent. 13.0 to 23.9 Fine gravel, short section being resurfaced with hot mixture new through Pohick, which was rough last year. 23.9 to 24.0 Rough steep pitch over at Lorton Station; should be made an underpass. 24.0 to 28.4 Fair to good gravel, narrow and somewhat rough in stretches. 28.4 to 34.3 New road between these points under construction and now im passable; will shorten this distance 1.5 miles. Until March 1st detour via Agnewville which is two miles good gravel, 1.5 miles fair dirt and clay, and 2.4 miles rough narrow country road, with sharp turns but passable at 5 to 10 miles per hour. 34.3 to 35.7 Permanent route not yet im proved, but part of contract. Present condition only fair, with bad mudholes. 35.7 to 39.1 Good gravel, narrow. Bridge at 36.9 needs end filling. 39.1 to 40.0 Rough dirt and clay through Dumfries, not provided for. 40.0 to 44.3 New section under construc tion with new alinement graded but not surfaced for 1.2 miles, clearing being done on balance. Necessary to take old route from Dumfries to Chopa- wampsic Creek bridge which is horribly rough for four miles, with continuous mudholes and ruts. With extreme care this stretch can be negotiated in low gear without mishap even after heaviest rains, provided no passing is attempted in dangerous places. 44.3 to66.9 Chopawampsic bridge to Fredericksburg is all good gravel leav ing nothing to be desired. Note The bad sections of this road aggregate about ten miles in length, which will be shortened to seven miles by the final alinement. Contracts have been let, and work is now under way for the entire distance, with a penalty for non- i completion after February 1, 1917. In all human probability and allowing 30 days for delays the road should be in perfect condition by March 1st, when the run to Pinehurst from New York will no longer be a dreaded undertaking but a delightful and interesting run of from four to six days. ! mm hamMerless shotguns MODEL 1912 Extra tight Weight Made in 12,16 and 20 Gauges There's no need of carrying a heavy gun. The use of Nickel Steel makes it possible to get ex treme light weight with great strength. But it costs more, and o is not generally used. Win chester Model 1912 shot- guns are constructed en tirely of nickel steel, which makes it the lightest and strongest gun on the market. It is very hand some besides, and a relia ble, fine-shooting gun. Be sure to see one before buy ing. Sold by all dealers. THE REPEATER PAR EXCELLENCE P '7-.
