Lights ON Vehicles.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The recent sad accident in one of the
dark roads of our Soldiers Home seems to
me to emphasize the necessity of some ac-
tion on the part of the Commissioners in
requiring the drivers of carriages and light
vehicles to carry lights at night There is
no necessity for this requirement being
made applicable to wagons and carts, which
are rarely found at night on the District
suburban roads. There are thousands and
thousands of cyclists in our city, and a
large proportion of this class of riders may
be found every evening in and around the
city, and l venture to say that 1t Is the ex-
perience Of one and all of them that the
greatest difficulty attending country riding
at night is found to be the lack of lights on
carriages and buggies. Most of our roads
are well wooded, and while the lamp of the
cyclist is clearly visible to the occupants of
vehicles, the vehicles themselves are mostly
invisible and loom up out Of the darkness
barely in time to avert a collision In all
such collisions the cycIist is the one inVari-
ably hurt, and il strikes me, an I'D and
careful eyelist that the best Thing the Com On
missiopers can do in the cyclists behalf is
to make Some regulation requiring lights

said his counsel. Hes soldier and
hope your honor will be merciful to him.
"a man who wears the blue, whether he
be a policeman or soldier" said the judge,

citizens. They are really the men who

A penalty Of s. or fifteen days was i'm
posed. The judge said he would release the
man if a member Of the guard should call
for him.
