A total of 385 lamps, using neon gas and sodium vapour to give out their light, are soon, to make head- lights superfluous on automobiles: speeding the 10 miles between Âm- sterdam and Haarlem.

Road lighting with sodium vapour lamps is rapidly spreading in the Netherlands. After several! texts, stretches of road in different parts of the country have been equipped with this lightning. Ulti- mately it is intended to instal it on all main highways. The Royal Automobile Club of the Nether-] jlands advocates a ban on the use of headlights along the Amster Lam-Haarlem Road when the light-

ing is completed.

Tests have proved, it is claimed, that motorists may drive 60 miles an hour at night without head- lights, yet with perfect visibility,! on these sodium-lighted roads.
