Dazzling Automobile Lights

From the Chicago Daily News.
 Action by the public authorities of Chicago to preevnt the use on city thoroughfares of powerful automobile headlights was much to long delayed Now that the police are beginning to make arrests in the progressive cam pafgn against blinding headlights one may hope that the nuisance will be speedily eliminated.
 It Is more than nuisance-it is a peril, as any driver of an automobile after nishtfaii should testify no less readily than do pedestrians who have seen the peaceful evening shot full of holes to their sudden blind bewilder- ment. The absurdity of flaring head lights is made apparent by tn fact that while they may dazzle and confuse the driver of another machine an eighth them into the distance ordinarily can- not tell the difference when his lights are suddenly put out.
 Hunting deer by packlight Is fa- miliar but cruel and illegal sport on lakes in the northern woods The au- tomobilst who uses blinding head lights on his machine apes the jack light hunter. Each startles and con- fuses his game and then the game can be readily potted. So many accidents are caused by dazzling automobile headlights that they are a recognized menace to the pedestrian and an even greater menace to persons in other au- tomobiles. Chicago Is much behind the times in that it Is only just now abol- ishing these pests of the we'll illum- mated streets.
 Unlighted or dmmed headlights should be insisted upon henceforth in Chicagos we'll lighted thoroughfares The sidelights on automobiles should be ample except on unlighted and bad ly paved streets.

The argns-eyed mayor arrested three young Romeos who had been calling on their sweethearts. for violation ofthe law and they are now threatening legal proceedings. alleg- ing that the curfew violates certain sections of the constitution anent per- sonal liberty. The mayor, however. is obdurate and says that the law will be enforced.
 Whats the constitution got to do with regulating the peaet. good order and civic etiquette of Harisonville any how" he asks.
 Harrsonvile is unique among the cities of the world in that it levies no property tax. This comes about be- cause the town owns it's own natural gas plant--the wells, lines and equip ment. This 1t rents out at intervals for short periods to the highest bidder.
 So produetie has been this example of municipal ownership and skill in twon management that some years ago 1t was considered that it might be possible to declare dividends to the or offer bonuses for births and newcomers.
