Motorists Ought, Anyway,
to Douse Their Too
Dazzling GlimS.
NEW YORK WOULD DO
WELL TO COPY JERSEY
Neighbor State Permits No
Car on Road with
Unfair Lamps.

Every one who drives an automobile
at highland who does not among
motorists has been sufferer
through the lack Of consideration
shown By those who persist in using
headlights which throw so dazzling a
glare that the driver Of the approach
ing car is blinded. 1t is not only n
bad thing for the driver, who is for
moment or so as much out Of control
OF his car as if he were driving with
his hands off the wheel, but also 1t Is
annoying to the passengers in the car.
Those who have had TO face car after
car fitted with the binding white
lights come home or TO their journeys
end with aching heads.
Some motorists fail to show common
courtesy in this matter. Nearly every
car nowadays is electrically lighted
and has DINNERS as we'll as bright
headlights. 1t is therefore only mat
ter of switching off the bright lights
and using the DINNERS in order to
make it easy for the other fellow TO
seq the road. Motorists nowadays are
doing this more than they used to. 1t
takes only hint, by way of dimming
ones own lights, to have the other
fellow follow suit. But when he does
not. and keeps right on with his glar-
ing lamps, the only thing TO do is to
switch back on again and let him
have it.
The New Jersey law requires that all
automobiles must be fitted with some
satisfactory form Of non-glaring head
lights and such a law ought to obtain
in New York State. No motorist in
the State of New Jersey can get IL
cense to drive his car if, when he pre-
SCENTS himself for examination, his car
is found rot to be properly fitted. II
he uses white paint or something OF
the sort 20 cover the upper semi-circle
Of his lenses, which satisfies the law,
The painting must be done on the IN
side Of the glass. so as to insure that
IL will not readily be removed. There
are certain forms of special non-glar-
ing headlights that are approved by
the motor vehicle department in New
Jersey, and any one Of these is good
for the purpose. If man drives a
car with lights that are not actually
non-glaring, he is liable to arrest and
fine.
Il would not be so bad if motorists
saw to it that their headlights were
focused so that they struck directly
down on the road, which is the place
they are supposed to illumine, rather
than on the tree tops a quarter Of q
mile off, sweeping everything in be-
tween. This also is part of the New
Jersey law, which limits the height Of
the illumination. It is only when a
car has the headlights improperly To-
cussed that the other fellow gets the
worst Of it.
Courtesy first is one of the finest
slogans for Automobiles TO have and
20 hold to. 1t means doing only those
things that make the roads safe and
pleasant for others, whether pedes-
trians or occupants Of other automo-
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-09-10
State Should Ban
GIaring Headlights

bilcs or vehicles generally. And one
Of the first things that Courtesy first
will eliminate is the use Of the I'M
pleasant glazing lamps. 1t will mean,
too, that such lights will not be used
on streets and roads that are other
wise well lighted, especially in little
towns.
Perhaps manufacturers Of automo-
biles will start soon to equip their cars
at the factories with some really good
non-glaring headlight lens. The first
one to do that will earn great praise
and profit thereby. The time is com
ing when nearly every state will have
law that will enforce the use of such
lenses, because they mean a step fur
Their toward safety first" that much
used catchword Of the country. Ordi
nary small dimming bulbs, it has been
found, are not enough for the purpose,
as long as the reflector behind is so
powerful. Then, too, there are still
some folk driving cars that have not
electric equipment, and they cannot do
the genteel switching off that is so
much TO be recommended.
Not a small percentage Of the acct
dents that happen at night are due to
a loss of control Of the car through the
driver being blinded for the moment by
an oncoming headlight and finding him
self in the ditch. Therefore, by all
means, Let all motorists hasten the
moment that they will be fair to other
users of the road.

II. II. c.: Where do ! oil the fan
shaft of my Chandler? There seems to
be no oil or grease cup provided.
On top OF the fan you will find two
screws that hold down the cover. Take
one of these out, and merely loosen the
other. Shove the cover TO one side and
pour in some heavy oil. DO not I'LL in
too much. for the oil must not come TO
the top Of the shaft, or it will leak out.
You should oil il about once in every

William c. Poertner, president Of the
Poertner Motor Car Company, Inc,
metropolitan distributor for Jeffery mo-

from the Nash Motors Company, max
ers of the Jeffery products, that there
will be no essential changes in the
Jeffery Four, which for three years has
been rendering efficient service in the
hands of thousands of satisfied owners.
Several weeks ago the Jeffery COM
pany announced that it had added to
the four-cylinder model the same grace

such widespread popularity on the

General Sales Manager r. A. Pickens,
Of the Metz company, was New York
visitor last week and expressed him
self in a most enthusiastic manner re-
garding the new Metz models. The
Metz company, of Waltham, Mass, has
had a very successful year, making and
selling more cars than ever before in
its history. No stronger testimonial
could be given of the value Of the gear
less drive, Mr.. Pickens points out. In
fact, with the high price Of gasolene,
the friction-driven Metz, averaging be-
tween twenty and thirty-hve miles to
the gallon, has attracted much atten-
ton from an economical standpoint.
The 1917 Metz has another appeal in
that every part of the car. with the eX-
ception Of the Gray & Davis starting
and lighting system, is made in the
Metz factory.

10000 New Freight Cars
Not Enough for Autos

The National Automobile Cham
Der of Commerce reports for July
shipments, 1909 carloads, against
1877 carloads in July last year.
August showed shipments of 1924
carloads, compared with 1888 car
loads last August. Even though
there are approximately 10000 more
automobile freight cars in service
than a year ago, there are still car
shortage complaints from various
factories.

Jack Driscoll, although he is used
car manager for the local Stearns
branch, has just won the gold watch
offered by the home Office in Cleveland
to the salesman in New York selling
the greatest amount of new cars in
July and August. Driscoll was invited
TO participate to add a little extra COM
petition, there being no idea at the
time, however, that he stood any
chance, as his time supposedly was
fully taken up selling used cars.

The summer automobile tourist travel
in Maine was given a practical demon
stration Sunday, as between the hours
of in the morning and at night the
Maine Automobile Association had a
man taking census at Dunston, half
way between Portland and Bideford.
The total number of cars passing this
point was 1911, 474 of this number
being out-of-state cars. Even so. the
travel was not as heavy as usual, as
there was threatening weather.

NEWS AND NOTES

Hughes didn't have any such sign on
his Duesenberg when he started out
on his mountain climbing jaunt. But
the situation was similar, and he went
up like Old Sol boosts the mercury on
hot July day without busting One
big reason for his success was that
his car was Dixon fabricated through
out. Just as it has been in all his races
ever since he first tried Dixon's.
The motor car industry long since
has had its recognition in the indus
trial world. This year, more than ever
before it is looming 20 the front in the
political world. President Wilson, on
opening his campaign in Detroit re-
Gently, made his first address to big
assemblage of automobile plant en-
ployes. and Charles L. Hughes, in De-
troit on August 7, also opening his
campaign, likewise gave the motor car
industry first attention. A shrong Of
10000 employees greeted him at the
Dodge Brothers plant.
An S-cylinder Cadillac has just
established new record Of thirty-two
minutes to the summit of Mount Wash
ington.
Starting at 1850 a. m, 2. W. Colson
drove Cadillac seven-passenger tour
ing car from Glen House, and arrived
at the summit Of Mount Washington
at S:22.
The distance covered was eight
miles, and the elevation of Mount
Washington-which is in Coos County,
n. HIS 6,293 feet.
The previous record Of fifty minutes
was held by high-powered 6-cylinder
car.
The Cadillac which made the pres
ent record was a stock car belonging to
Mrs. Chevers. 1t is a significant fact
that when the car arrived at the sum-
nit the engine was sufficiently cool to
permit bystanders TO place their bare
cheeks against the radiator, according
to the statements of those present.
1t is also interesting to note that the
car used was one which had seen 1000
miles of service, during which time it
