Washington, Feb. 3. — The well-dressed traffic policeman will sport what looks like a glorified encapote and be alerted to the light for a jewel, if an invention which has just been granted a United States patent gains favor.

The finger灯 enables a policeman who is stationed at a crossing without a camera strobe arrests more effectively.
