AUTO OWNERS AFFECTED BY
 THIS OPINION
Attorney General Hands Down
 Important Ruling
All Motor Cars Standing on Public Thoroughfares After
 Sunset Must be Lighted

Owing to large number of com- plaints being received, Secretary of the State Matthew H. Rogers has se- cured an opinion from Attorney Gen. eral John H. Light regarding the lighting of automobiles which are standing on 8 public street after sum- set. The opinion of the attorney gen. eral is to the effect that the machines should be lighted, the same as if they
 were in motion on the highways.
 Secretary Rogers question was as follows: Owing to the fact that there seems to be misunderstanding on the part of many owning and using motor vehicles as to the requirements of the motor vehicle law as to the lighting of their vehicles at half an hour after sunset apd half an hour before sunrise, I would ask your .opin- ion as to whether the construction of Section and Section of the motor vehicle law applies to machines which are stationary on the highway and which the occupants have left for period of time, or do these sections apply only. to. ma chimes in motion on the highway?'
 In the opinion Judge Light says:
 '@The sections of the law referred to by you provide for the display of markers and lights, and the use of brakes, horns, etc, on every motor vehicle while in use or operation up on the public highways of the state. During the time when a motor vehi- cle is required to display lights name ly. from one-half hour before sunrise, the rear registered number must be so illuminated as to be legible at a distance of sixty feet. The rear light must be so placed as to show red light from behind, and a white light so arranged as to illuminate the rear number plates. This is a justifiableI exercise of the police power in the in> terest of the safety of the traveling public These requirements serve to prevent accidents and to identify the vehicle and operator in case of an ac- ] cident.
 ..Now, when may a motor vehicle be said to be in use or operation up- on the public highway? I am of the opinion that the words in use' or in operation as employed in the statute in question, include every situation of a motor vehicle in commission up- on the public highway, and extend to such vehicles as are left stationary upon the highway, while the occu- pants make call or transact busi- ness. Therefore, at all times, when so used from half-hour after sum- set to a half-hour before sunrise. lights must be displayed on such ve- o1

HoUsE-FLIEs AND DISEASE

The house-fly stands convicted as disseminator of disease and a car rier of contagion. Ever since the investigation of the spread of typhoid fever in the United States military
 camps during the Spanish War of
 1898, the evidence has been accumu-
 lating, until today there is no escape
 from the charges against this in-
 sect. Every far-reaching probe into
 sanitary problems is liable to disclose
 conditions hitherto quite unsuspetcted
 and the indictments already brought
 against the house-fly during the past
 few years charge responsibility for
 long category of infections, including
 cholera and various forms of dysen-
 tery. diphtheria, erysiplas. contagious
 ophthalmia, cerebrospinal meningitis, anthrox and possibly smallpox, in
 addition to typhoid fever.
 Whether all of these charges will stand in the light of scientific investi-
 gation remains to be seen. It is important, not so much in justice to hygienic and preventative measures which are dependent thereon, that the questions here raised be autIiori- tat1vely settled. In the case of typhoid. the evidence appears to be complete.
 tory of New York, has attempted to supply facts on this question. He has examined the flies caught in the densly populated parts of New York City during a number of months Both the bacteria occurring in the in- testine and those from the surface of the insects were investigated The flies examined in April and early in June were comparatively free from dangerous bacteria. As the summer season advanced high bacterial counts began to appear and also an abrupt change in the character of the bacteria The record counts came at the end of two weeks of. excessive heat in July.
 Some idea of the number of organ isnls that a single insect may carry is indicated by the figures 57O to 4,4OO.- 900 for the surface contamination, and 16,0OO to 2S.0OO.O00 for the in testinal bacterial contents. Most of tn. bacteria found were comparative ly harmless. This investigation however, was carried on in the crowd ed city, where sewers would natural ly carry off all of the most dangerous infective matter. The Journal of the American Medical Association says that the house-fy is an undesirable in any event, so that the war of extermination already begun against it in many quarters deserves encour- agement and support.
