Although not unfamiliar to #he ex Perienced Washington motor tourist, this trip, because of the splendid roads and the inspiring country, bears repeti- tion. Along its course there are spots at which the motorist will want to linger and pay tribute to the won- ders of nature and the deeds of men.

The r Jeading to the northy by way Clarksburg, is approximately seven miles shorter, but a portion of it near attstown is under construction. This road is part of the Old National Road. Reverting to the main route, the road leads to Damascus, remembered by motorists as the place of the “sharp turn.” Six miles ahead is Ridgeville, from which point on lies beautiful, rolling Maryland country. Stretching almost directly west from Ridgeville, the road passes through New Market, a quaint, one-street vil- lage, crossing the Monocacy River over the old Stone Jug Bridge, and into Frederick, a distance of 51.3 miles from the National Capital. Frederick is one of Maryland's larger towns. It is the same Fred- erick the poet Whittier mentioned when he wrote his undying *Barbara Frietchie.” Here is the grave of that immortal character and a marker in- dicates the spot where stood her home. Here, too, are buried the remains of Francis Scott Key, and a monument . erected to the memory of the author of the “Star Spangled Banner” stands ROUTES TO FREDERICK— HARPERS FERRY- HAGERSTOWN AND THE, ANTIETAM BATTLEFIELD at the entrance of Frederick's Mount Olivet Cemetery. This town knows the sound of mar- tial feet. Not only in the Civil War did the soldiers, both Union and Con- federate, trod its streets, but also in the War of 1812 it suffered much dev- astation at the hands of the Brit- ish.
