powerful headlights which are re- quired at night by a motor car on country roads is a nuisance to other users of the road, and as motorists are among the sufferers from it they would welcome an effective remedy as cordially as other sections of the com munity. As was shown by the trials which from time to time have been conducted, considerable progress has been made in the development of de- vices for minimizing the glare with out destroying the light but still no completely satisfactory means of deal ing with the problem is as yet avail able.
 But the motoring public is inclined to put great trust in time, as there is to be noted a tendency among many manufacturers to abandon the excess sdve brilliancy which they thought necessary in the earlier types of lamps and 1t may well be that the evil will cure itself. However, it may be point ed out here that the functions of a headlight are two-fold-(1) to enable the driver to see the course of the road and (2) to reveal to him the pres ence of other vehicles upon 1t. Of these. the second is probably the more important. and the possibility of re-

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS WEAK.
Net Losses in the Speculative Special
 ties Ran From to 4 Points.

New York, May 5.-The Chino Jap anese situation loomed large on the financial horizon today and resulted in another severe reversal of quoted prices, the second of the week. Net losses in the speculative favorites ran from 2 to 4 points, while war special ties" suffered in greater degree. The effect of today's selling, which savored more than a little of urgent liquida- tion, was to reduce by one half some of the more extensive gains of the past six weeks.
 Today's weakness came after an early period of inactivity and irreg- ularity, in which the only striking fea- lures were the serength of Bethlehem Steel and Amalgamated Copper, for which there were well defined reasons and the weakness of Reading and some other high grade investment shares which lacked explanation. Sell ing attained it's widest proportions in the final hour, the turnover then eX ceeding the trading of the three pre- ceding hours. Closing prices were at or near lowest of the day, with a weak undertone.
 London and continental Europe were credited with further heavy sales here, London continuing to offer our stocks long after the close of regular busi- ness in it's own market. Local trad CTS helped the declining tendency by
 
 the short account. The ease with which the market yielded offered proof of it's technical weakness on the constructive side.
 Aside from the advices from the Orient. much of the days news was of favorable import. Trade authorities asserted that business in the steel in dustry offered ground for increased confidence and a large order for rails to be shipped to Russia was accepted as forerunner of other foreign orders. Copper metal in London recovered from it's recent decline and an in- crease in the dividend of one of the largest of the domestic copper pro- ducing companies from $5 to $15 was self explanatory.
 Definite details bearing upon the establishment of additional foreign credits here are to be announced shortly according to intimations given out in high banking quarters today.
 Total sales of stocks amounted to 915, 900 shares.
 Bonds were heavy, with free selling of various speculative issues. Total sales, par value, aggregated $4,522, 600.
 U. S. bonds were unchanged on call

..An interesting feature of the Euro
 pean war is the great number of American made cars that are being used in the various maneuvers by the armies in Europe. A conservative estimate places the number of auto mobiles made in America. now in use in actual warfare at approximately ten thousand vehicles. This com prises motor cars of all descriptions armoured trucks-light dispatch cars light armoured cars for quick fire work and ambulances.
 An experienced business man knows that he cannot get something for nothing, He is strewd enough to know that he cannot get something for nothing where the other party has just the one chance to make or lose If the man he is dealing with cannot make money, there is no ob- ject in his dealing at all. Yet many owners of automobiles try to per suade themselves that they are not losers when they allow an automobile dealer to put an inflated value upon their cars in a trade.
 The dazzling effect produced, by the

lying on less powerful lamps would be distinctly increased if all the vehicles on the road could be made self-evi- dent, aS it were.
 To a certain extent this is done al- ready, for vehicles commonly carry a light showing the direction in which they are proceeding but only recently a law required them to exhibit a rear light. Consequently the motor car has to carry head lamps sufficiently pow erful to reveal vehicles it is overtak- ing, for the present lights on all vehi- cles requirement is not or cannot be effectively enforced. Thus the incon- venience of the glare from these head lights is the penalty which the com munity has to pay for refusing to make all vehicles on the road take proper measures for their own protec- ton.
