In Durance Vi1e,N

Three we'll known young gentlemen,
of Baltimore, visited Atlantic City on
the second Sunday in July to spend
a few days. Having reached the city
by the sea. they procured lodging at
what was thought to be a respectable
hotel. They had hardly dropped their
bags, and made themselves comfort
able when they were shocked to find
the place filled with police and plain
clothes men Unfortunately, they
were forced to accompany the officers
to the lookup, and were later lodged
in the Mays Landing Jail. Although
they only went to Atlantic City to
soend few days, it is more than
likely that they will now remain over
for the fall session of the court.

PIERCE-ARROW lights
LESSEN their DANGER
Logical Position Is Mud Guard. Where
Rays Have Wider Diffusion and
Beams Center Over Wheels.

When PieTCe-ArrOw engineers decided.
after long experiment to place the head
lights on the front mudguard. they did
not anticipate the instant favor that this
position has found among car owners and
drivers. SO quickly weTs the many ad-
vantages of this new headlight position
recognized, that in a surprisingly short
time. it was no longer regarded as an
innovation, but as logical and extreme
ly valuable improvement over all other
methods of mounting the lamps.
Perhaps the most valuable of all the
advantages accruing from this new meth
cd of mounting the lights. is that one
which contributes SO largely to the safe
" of Pierce-Arrow cars when passing
approaching automobiles and other We
hiclcs at night. Passing drivers. judging
the position of the car by the headlights,
allow sufficient room for that portion eN-
tending on either side of the front lights.
Since Pierce-ArrOw headlights are placed
on the mudguards. the approaching driv-
er makes d wider turnout. and the
chances of a ''side-swipc' are reduced to
a minimum.
Add to this the advantages of a great
er diffusion of light along the sides of
the road. thereby lesseninG the menace
of the ditch: the more rapid response of
the lamp beams to a turning movement,
due TO their increased distance from the
center line or axis OF the car; the de-
crease in exaggeration of road inequali-
ties accounted for by the increased
height of the lamps from the ground. and
one can well understand why series
three" Pierce-Arrow cars also carry their
headlights upon the mudguards.
