Simple to Avoid Arrests.

II is not the desire of the Baltimore
police authorities to make arrests. it
Ii explained, and it is a very simple
matter on the part of the motorists
to avoid them by using their DINNERS
only. or when headlights are used to
see that the front glass is so treated
by using a patented or homemade de-
vice that the binding glare or dazzle
is eliminated.
Officers are stationed in various Sec
tions Of Baltimore to see that the above
ordinance is carried out, and all vio-
1atorS are arrested.

Cause Of Accidents.

my attention has been called to the
fact that a considerable proportion of
the automobile accidents result from
cars approaching each other at night
in the binding glare caused by the
headlights When one is driving a
car at night and is approached by an
other car with it's headlights turned on
full the glare is such that the driver
cannot see where he is going. If two
cars approaching each other dim their
lights the driver of each has a normal
vision along the road and each can see
the others course and also his own
course, thus reducing the possibility of
accident to the minimum.
Il hope the next legislature Will
pass law requiring the use of dim
mers, or make some regulation in this
matter. In the meantime all that can
be accomplished by such law can be
had if the motorists will do the right
thing and also if the owners Of cars
will provide DINNERS. if they do not
have them. i do not believe there are
many people, if any, who are indiffer-
ent to the welfare of others on the
road, but there are a great many who
are thoughtless and careless, or who
do not think or do not take the time
to prepare.

URGES MOTORISTS
TO DIM HEADLIGHTS
Gov. Harrington of Maryland
Would Avoid Auto Ac-
cidents at Night.
HOPES THAT LEGISLATURE
WILL PASS STATE LAW
Declares Drivers in Passing Should
Show Proper Regard for Wei
fare of Each Other.

Gov. Harrington of Maryland has
issued an appeal to the motoring fra
ternity in general using the roads of
that state to dim the headlights on
their automobiles at night when pass
ing other machines, and in the event
that their machines are not equipped
with DINNERS to provide their cars
with the same. He says.
II understand there is a Baltimore
ordinance requiring the dimming of
lights, but there is no state law of that
character and I understand the auto
mobile commissioner is powerless in
this matter. I think there ought to be
a law requiring all motorists to have
lights which can be dimmed and that
they ought to be required to observe
the rule of dimming their lights when
meeting another vehicle on the road.
Evening star., 1916-09-24
Decent Thing to Do"

Il want to appeal to all motorists to
obtain the DINNERS and to dim their
lights voluntarily whenever the situa-
ton requires. 1t is the right thing to
do. the decent thing to do. The eti-
quette of the road requires dimming.
/ place my Endorsement upon that and
make a personal and official appeal to
every man and woman who takes car
out on the road"
An active campaign is being waged
by the authorities toward the enforce
ment Of the motor vehicle headlight
ordinance. which provides that no
operator Of any automobile or other
motor vehicle of any kind, motor trucks
or motor cycles included. while operat-
ing the same upon any public highway
within the limits of Baltimore city,
shall use any acetylene, electric or
other headlight on such vehicle. unless
such headlight be properly designed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.--Secre-
tary Houston has Just announced the
plan to be pursued in spending the
ten million dollars appropriated by
the federal aid road act for the con-
struction and maintenance Of roads
and trails within or partly within ma
tional forests, and has tentatively al
lotted among the various national for
est states the million dollar which is
dependable this fiscal year.
The tentative allotment to the prin-
cipal national forest states are as fol-
lows: Alaska, SAG, $50; Arizona, $780,
795; Arkansas, $11,294; California,
$14O,7 1893; Colorado, s62,S35; Idaho,
$10S,O10; Montana, $4,000; Nevada,
$19,195; New Mexico, s42,622; Oregon
$127,794; South Dakota, $S,115;
Utah, $4O,9S2; Washington, S91, 739;
Wyoming, s40,556. In addition, to-
tai Of $9,552 has been tentatively as
signed to Florida, Michigan, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, North Dakota and
Oklahoma, while the eastern states
Maine, New Hampshire, Virginia,
West Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Georgian
which the government is purchasing
lands for national forests have been
allotted $21,057.
''In general" said Secretary Hous-
ton, "the states and counties will be
required to furnish cooperation in an
amount at least equal to so per cent
Of the estimated cost Of the surveys
and construction. However, upon a
satisfactory showing by the applicant
state or county that such proportion
Of cooperation is inequitable, it may
be altered and the ratio Of co-opera-
ton fixed upon basis equitable to
both the state or county and the Unit
ed States"
The method followed in apportion-
ing the money was explained as fol
lows: Ten per cent Of the amount
available each year will be withheld
as contingent fund. One-half Of the
remainder will be allotted to the
states in amounts which will be baset
on the area Of national forest lands

WHY PAPA DIDN'T FIGHT

A young lady, her cheeks flushed
with indignation and her eyes flash
ing fire, burst in upon her parents
and demanded that papa go imme-
diately and whip certain young man
in the town. She said, "Why papa,
he fiirted with me; he asked me
which way, little one?' and offered
to follow me. I want him whipped"
The much incensed young lady just
naturally got dads hat and told him
where the old six shooter was. But
papa didn't take the hint. He said,
daughter, no one in this world is
more interested in you than your old
dad. None will be quicker to rise to
your defense. But listen-this very
interest has led me to study you and,
this is what / have learned:
"You go down the street very scam
tily dressed. You apparently, DELHI
erately expose as much of your person
as is necessary to appeal to the carnal
instinct Of man. Your lovely neck,
a large portion Of your well developed
breast, your arms, and by means Of a
short skirt and transparent hose, a
goodly share Of your limbs are ex-
posed to view. That part of your body
that is at all partly covered in cloth
in such a way that every curve and
angle is out in bold relief. Then when
you pass a man or group of men, you
CYCLE, toss your head and perhaps re-
mark to your friends that this is a
slow old town. 4 should worry be
lieve me- etc. And then when some
man challenges you, you want him
shot.

are willing to deliver the goods. Eek.

MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE NATIONAL
FOREST ROADS ALLOTTED THIS YEAR

apportioned on a basis Of estimated
value Of timber and forage resources
which the forests contain. Amounts
apportioned but unexpended within
three years, and any balance Of the
contingent fund which remains unap-
portioned at the end Of each year,
will be reapportioned on the same ba-
sis as the original allotments.
The two groups of states to which
lum sums are allotted are, it was ex-
planned, to be considered as single
units of apportionment. Apportion-
ments now to be made are for the cur
rent fiscal year only. Thereafter new
appointments will be made, giving
consideration to the number and char
acter of applications made by the
state and county officials for expendi-
lures on specific projects. These ap-
plications must be filed with the dis
trict foresters in the seven national
forest districts on or before January
each year, for the fiscal year begin
ming the following July 1.
The determination Of the projects
upon which funds will be expended
during the current fiscal year will be
made on the basis Of applications
which must be filed with the district
foresters on or before October /, 1915
Each application must contain q
statement Of the public needs to be
served by the proposed road and the
manner and extent to which it would
aid in the development of resources
upon which communities within or adj
jacent to the national forests are de.
pendent, and must also show the gen.
eral location of the proposed road ant
its estimated cost. As already stated
! in general states and counties must b.
| prepared to furnish cooperation equa
to at least so per cent of the esti
mated cost of surveys and construc,
ton. This cooperation may be in the
form of money, labor and materials
or the construction Of roads. Wher'
other isctors are equal, the approva
of project may be determined upo,
the relative amount Of cooperation
offered. Many applications have, it il
stated, already been received for ex
penditures upon specific projects.
