Capital Authorities Seek to Re.

New Lens Offers Solution-From los
Angeles Comes Word That Objee-

Washington.-War has been de-
clared by the district authorities on
the binding headlights of automobiles
within the city limits. The commits.
sioners have instructed Major Sylves-
ter. superintendent of police, to con-
fer with the corporation counsel. and
formulate some regulation of the pres
ent evil. The present traffic regula-
lions do not contain any provision for
the restriction of the use of such head
light which would hold in a court Of
law.
Much of the present danger arises
out of the carelessness of motorists
and pedestrians themselves. Motorists
spinning over the roads u the ada
cent parks and thoroughfares leading
into the city limits needlessly leave
their headlights burn in the adequate
ly lighted sections. Pedestrians
thoughtlessly walk in the middle of
the road instead Of keeping to the
right and to the side of the road.
Much of the present danger can be
eliminated by little care and thought.
but the problem of the nonglare head
light is twofold. First, the dazzling
rays must be eliminated or the use Of
such lights restricted in some way.
and second, the original illuminating
qualities Of the headlight must be con-
served.
Adequate light on the public high
ways Is needed today more than ever
before. The heavy black oiled roads
make 1t much more dificult to distin-
guish pedestrians ON the highways
than 1t was in the early days Of the
automobile. before the roads were
oiled.
Still another factor In the problem
Is the Quietness Of the present-day
motor. 1t Is now possible to creep up
within a few feet Of another car or
pedestrian on the road without them
being aware Of the approach Of car.

GEORGE M. YOUNG'S SHORT TERM

Public men have often boasted
their long terms of Office in some high
position; 1t remains for Representa-
tive George M. Young, at present rep
resentative from North Dakota, to
bear the unique honor Of having been
governor of a sovereign state of the
Union for the shortest space OF time
than any other man ever held that
exalted position-one hour. by the
clock!
The great event happened in the
summer of 1872" said Mr.. Young. Our
regular governor. John Burke, was
away building fences and stringing
wires in a convention hall down in
ST. Louis. The next In succession was
Lieut.. Gov. R. s. Lewis, a banker OF
Fargo.
'One slithering hot day touring
car full of friends chugged up to the
bank. They reminded Lewis that 1t
was hot. that North Dakota was pro-
hibition, that Minnesota wasn't. So
they stuffed him in among them.
