Many motorists will ¢ agree with this statement, however, and will feel that any main highway on which there is plenty of automobile traffic will furnish more illumination than will New York's theatrical district. Measured in actual candle power, the motorist’s estimate will not be correct; judged by the effect on his optic nerve, however, his opinion will be justified. Automobile head lamps are designed for two purpc first, to announce to others the approach or proximity of a car: second, to aid the driver of the individual car to see the road ahead of him for a sufficient distance to make night driving as safe as daytime operatior The first requirement is easily met by any electrical outfit which will give a dim light. Such dim lights, however, are useful only for driving on brightly luminated streets or for parked As soon as we depart from the brightl illuminated city streets, the automobile Slauson ORIGINAL FAMOUS SPECIAL] patie ounlahoratories by, GUARANTEED SACCHROMETERS, 75c each any flavor 50c: 4.02. size $1.75; n $3 hase’ 1 oz. of B $ mz. bottles $2.00; 402. bottles $10.00, SeGr ch?

ING AND BEVERAGES must depend upon a source of light within itself to make night driving safe. ‘This requires a beam of light which will equal several thousand candle power. It is the road, however, which should be illuminated, and not the eyes of oncoming drivers. It is headlights which illegally serve the latter purpose that are the of a large number of night driv and yet we believe that stati tics will show that there are a greater number of deaths and injuries due to driving with insufficient illumination than are caused by bright lights. The ma- jority of State laws requiring a beam of certain illumination to be thrown for a given distance in front of the car. This beam, however, must be restricted in its height to a certain level, such as forty-two feet, so that it will illuminate the re way, but not the faces of the occupants of oncoming vehicles. To obtain such a beam requires not only proper lenses and reflectors, but the correct focusing of the lamp and a delicate adjustment of the lights and lenses. Properly focused bulbs placed between scientifically designed reflectors and lenses will serve no purpose if the head lamp itself is turned upward. arly all cars to-day are provided not only with focusing means but also with a method of adjusting the lamp so that the uys may be directed downward, at the ide, or in any direction desired. Oc sionally slight collision will throw the lamps out of adjustment, and yet the careless driver will operate his car with one lamp throwing its single beam side- ways and the other one shooting up in the sky, with illumination directed every- where but on the road. I have even seen some cars with patent reflectors installed upside down so that the beam of light which would otherwise be directed down on the road is thrown up in the air and in the eyes of oncoming motorists, leaving the road itself as dark as though no light were available. Therefore, State laws requiring the use of certain types of lenses and head lamps are of little avail if the bulbs, len: lamps themselves are not properly. in- stalled and adjusted—and kept in this condition. com bes iene It whe min comicbooks.com
