Must Dim Lights
When Passing

Every automobilist who fails to
dim his lights when meeting another
machine on a county road will be
arrested.
Beginning Saturday night, the
county roads will be patrolled by Of
ficers, and all autoists who violate
the new state law with regard to
glaring headlights will be arrested.
Also the law prohibiting the pass
ing of machines on curves will be en-
forced.
Still another section of the new
law which drivers must remember, If
they do not want to be arrested, is
that they are not permitted to coast
down hills, particularly on roads
where there are curves, and that
they must at all times keep to the
right and have their cars under per-
feet control.
The new state law governing auto
mobile driving and highway traffic
generally is now operative, and the
officials of the counties of the state
are preparing to see that the various
sections are observed. The law is
designed for the safety of the public
and to protect people from reckless,
careless or amateur drivers. Among
the things to be observed is the keep
ing Of cattle off the highways.

S. P. Men on
Way to France

The contingent of army engineers
that passed through Tuesday on a
special train numbered 1T men and
comprised a detachment of the Sth
regiment Of reserve engineers of the
Southern Pacific. They will soon go
to France to construct railroads to
be used during the war, OF these,
81 are from Los Angeles and 80 are
from San Francisco. They were en-
tertained at San Francisco and were
en- route to American Lake, where
they will spen da few weeks in train
ing at the large army training camp
there.
The cars were very literally decor
ated with artistic signs, and upon
their appearance in the city created
much interest and excitement. The
spirit of the regiment was appropri-
ately shown by such signs as "We're
the Kaiser's Goat Getters," "Going
to France" Berlin or Bust" Bring
on Your Kaiser" Bound for France"
and other expressions of like nature,
that embellished the sides of the cars
in great white lettering.
The men we're under the command
of Sergeant L. A. Romien, and had
among their members several who
had won marked distinction in the
railway service. OF these were Major
]. W. Williams, in the service of the
Southern Pacific for over ten years,
who had charge Of the work on the
Natron cutoff east of Eugene, a diff
cult engineering feat, and Adjutant-
Captain Resinger, West Point man,
who resigned from military service
in 1899 in order to become superin-
tendent and general manager for the
engineers Of the Arizona and New
Mexico railway system.
