But every now and then Mother Nature decides
to put us in our place, and of all her devices to make
us stow down, none is more effective than mist and
I
NSSr'We’BSy not have to contend with fog and
mist very frequently, but we’re bound to npw and
then, and when we do, it can cause-us a lot of annoy-
ance and trouble. ...
■Wl)cn n Rood heavy fog comas—on land, at sea
or in the air—everything that moves, moves with
cauMcm. The ocran liner slows down several knots
an hour Lightships signal, buoys sound and foghorns
boom. Airline:; ground tlieir planes and cancel trips. -J
Even trains on tracks reduce their speed—and we
drivers on the highways, too, must make our way
cautiously through tfial baffling screen. For one thing is true. In spite of all
our progr^s^tratisportation still depends on pairs.of eyes in human head*.
Scientists who have Stucyed fog, say that it is
composed of tiny drops of water. These drops are
1 so smalt and light that they hang in the air, and so
close together that light can hardly get through
them. Instead, these little drops act like tiny convex
mirrots. When we try to pierce .them with h beam of .
light, a great deal of it is thrown right back at us,
soihe effect is lust like a great, gleaming white cur-
thin in front, of us. \ . < '?
• Experienced drivers say that the first thing to do
i$ to get tJVr lights fight The main thing is to direct
the beams downw&rJ. If w«* have them shining
straighrahead, those little mist-drop mirror* reflect
the rays back in our eyes. But if they’re pointing
downward, the rays are deflected toward the road.
Then they say it’s, a good idea to guide by the road edge at our right,
and If we have a spotlight oh our car, to focus it right on that road- edge,
close to the front of the car, so the edge will be clearly ..........
lighted But we have to keep a good weather eye
fcihead, too, because fog veils more thmi the road. It
hides not only things on the road but such things as
roadside warnings of curves and hills and inter- B&-:.:A.VijFsKampffiS
sections. Even the pafllc light’s red and,green signal
rays have the same hard time that our headlights e™
do getting through that strange haze. In fact,, in a £?•'.
xood heavy fop, the best we can do for our vision is gf
none loo good. And so the main thing is to slow down, 'jy . a,' ,
The ships hove to do it. the trains have to do it, unc ..
Vc have to do it too, If we won't make up our minds
to (hat. they tell us the best thing we can do is to
pull off tile road, or if we have not yet start'd ou;|
wfc had belter Just stay heme. * ■
But Spring in fog and mist Is only hill the story. We hot only have to see,
but we also have to be sera. Our headlight* properly adjusted are strong
enough to do tl.tir duty Ir. pointing us out to people
coming from the opposite direction. And, in-addition,
•some dilvers use their h -rns like foghorns by giving
them a toot every cotv and then. But «nothcr thing
we have to think ol is to be sure driver*, behind *a
