SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
THOSR GLARING HEADLIGHTS.


From the Dover State News.
The Delaware State News, on sew
eral occasions IN the past, has advo-
Gated legislation 10 regulate the use
Of headlights on automobiles, beliey-
ing that danger constantly turks be-
hind the glaring, binding lights used
upon some machines that pass along
our roads and through our towns at
night The deplorable acc dent that
befell Postmaster William II. Robin
son and Harry Hammond, of Milford,
about two weeks ago. should drive
home a lesson that will not soon be
forgotten. Mr.. Robinson and his COM
panion were blinded by the Light of
an approaching automobile. and steer
ed the car nto ditch. the postmas-
ter sustaining a fractured skull when
the machine turned turtle.
II is imperative that the next Del
aware Legislature, which will con-
vene I'm January, take action on this
highly important matter. A law
should be enacted that will require
every automobile driver TO dim his
headlights when approaching another
car, and TO turn of the glar.ng lights
while passing through towns and vi
lagos. An accident similar to the one
In which Mr. Robinson and Mr Ham
mond figured is likely to occur at any
cme. for often Il is imposs bic for a
driver to see the road ahead of him
when blinded by the lights Of an ap-
preaching car and n he is not ia
miliar with the road he s likely 70
drive his car INTO a ditch or a tele-
graph pole az any moment
It would seem that the drivers. for
the sake OF personal safety. would
d m their lights without requiring
law 10 compel them TO do {. and quite
a number OF them do so. For those
who will not voluntarily obey this
rule Of safety however a law Of COM
pulls on should be enacted and strictly
enforced. with such legislation on
our Statute Books. the number Of ac-
cidents occurring in Delaware would
be greatly lessened, for a large per-
centage of acc 'dents are due largely
10 the glaring headl ghts. Let us
hope our next Legislature will see the
wisdom OF protecting all drivers by
compelling them to dim their lights.

WHERE ARE OUR sEANIENY

WAINL Ann UAh NLAML
From The Boston Herald.
The United States dreadnought Ari-
zona, launched at the New York Navy
Yard. n June. has been put in COM
miss on this week. She is a great war
machine, a sister to the Pennsylva-
mia. of 31.400 tons displacement, and
more than $4,000 horsepower, with an
armament OF twelve 14-inch guns,
twenty 5-inch rifles and two anti
aircraft guns. We have nothing bet
ter in our navy, and perhaps we can
afford to wait for the vessels of latest
design that are to carry 16inch guns,
though the conditions at our navy
yards and the demands on our big
gest private shipbuilding plants are
such that construction cannot be be-
gun this year.
But the Arizona suffers from a
weakness which would prevent the
full use OF her armament if at this
time she had TO go into battle. Guns
are useless without men behind them.
Il is stated that the Arizona has been
commissioned with crew Of only $40
men, though her proper complement
Is 1,034 The shortage of 164 men is
serious. Turn for a moment from
the Arizona to the Kansas. Vermont
and New Hampshire. What is the
condition OF these three battleships
Their crews have been taken to man
the Arizona, and the ships themselves
have been laid up in the reserve yard
at Philadelphia According to an emu
meration made by "The Sun" this

l3 ships in line in commission, as
against 21 a year ago" And this af-

tion OF the Romans to an incompetent

ard the fight against il undoubtedly
will be resumed on its third reading.
As.emblyman McCue, Of New York,

the provisions Of the measure were
too drastic against bart.nders. He Of
fered an amendment which would take
out the minimum age limit and give
greater protection TO a person selling
liquor TO young man who might be
