start contended for 500-mile race, but
Slaughter took the position that such
race was a bit too long from the
public standpoint and 400 miles was
finally agreed to.
Providing an average of fifty miles
an hour is made-which would require
many individual miles at far greater
speed to produce such an average-it
will require eight hours to run the
race, which doubtless will begin at 8
or o'clock in the morning and run
continuously until 4 or o'clock in the
afternoon. Such a race would have the
tendency of drawing both morning and

ORDINANCE REQUIRES
LIGHTS ON VEHICLES
New Law Approved by Automobile
Dealers as Mutual Safe
guard

After fighting persistently for nearly
eighteen years the Automobile Dealers
association of Los Angeles is gratitied
at the action of the city council in
passing an ordinance which requires all
vehicles of drawing power to carry
lights at night.
Although this ordinance which is
now in effect is expected to cause a
great deal of dissatisfaction, it is re-
garded as a good measure that Will
act for the benefit for all concerned.
1t will not entail much hardship,
either, as the ordinance simply requires
that all vehicles, whether rode, driven
or propelled, shall be equipped with a
white and red light at night.
This measure is sweeping in it's pur-
pose and means, that all teamsters or
drivers Of horses on the streets of Los
Angeles one hour after shutdown must
have a lamp. 1t refers to bicycle riders,
motorcycle riders and even push carts.
OF course automobiles are not included
in the list, as they are already bound
to such a law by the state statutes.
Every auto owner who discussed the
ordinance the past week decided that
it would prove of incalculable value
and would be a safeguard and pre-
tentative of accidents.
The part of the ordinance which Is
26B-It shall be unlawful for any per-
son to ride, drive or prOpel any We
hicle upon or along, or to permit any
vehicle to remain upon any street, al
ley or other public place during the
period from one hour after sunset to
one hour before sunrise, unless there
is attached to such vehicle lamp show
ing a white light visible in the direction
which such vehicle is proceeding, and
a red light visible in the reverse di-
rection provided. however, that the
provisions of this section shall not APP
ply to any vehicle upon which lights
are required by any law of the state
of California to be exhibited"
Although the law has been in force
several days the persons to whom 1t
applies are evidently in ignorance of its
import, for it has been violated by
scores of persons nightly.
The plan Is to give "a fair warning,
and if persisted violations of the or
dinance continue, prosecution will fol-
low
All that is necessary to fulfill the
intent of the law is to procure small
lamp, built after the lines of rail-
road mans lantern, with a red light
showing on one side and white light
showing on the other, Such a light
would prevent many of the collisions
that are frequent on dark and poorly
lighted streets.
They will eliminate the possibility OF
autos crashing into carriages, If any
degree of care is exercised.
Vehicles standing on dark streets VIII
be visible for a distance away, and the
preca,Stion will be of as much value to
the teamster as to the auto driver.
