WANTED, A FOG LIGHT
There is a great chance for an inventor ! Two million and a half motorists want a, light that will pierce fog. The man who can produce what they want will be a niillionaire within a year or so. We have many different so-called fog-lights, a few fairly good, some indifferent, and many that are frankly useless. None of them actually pierce the fog as 'a spot-light does the night — and that is what is wanted. Every week one is asked to recom■rnend a really good fog-light, but there isn't one! A spot-light with an amber-colour-ed glass fixed to the near-side front dumb-iron is as good as any, bnt it is nothing like what is really needed. Some genius has discovered a way of making a photograph plate that will take pictures in fog or complete darkness without any light wh'atsoever. That seemed impossible a year or so ago. It may be that there is some connection between the two things. Motorists want a light that will pierce fog for a distance of 50 yards. The ordinary light just reflects itself on the wall of fog baclc into the driver's eyes and blinds him. The light that is needed must cut through the fog.
