reversible HEADLIGHTS
PROVE NIGHT NECESSITY

The discomfort and inconvenience
Of interrupting a pleasant tour TO
make tire repairs or minor adjust
ments on the road at night is reduced
to minimum by the adjustable head
lamps and Dodge Brothers motor car.
Merely by loosening the lock nut the
head lamp can be reversed and train
ed directly on the rear wheel, flooding
It with light and throwing every de-
tail into relief. By using the exterior
OF TIE highly polished front door as
reflector. and turning the front
wheels at an angle the light can be
thrown upon the front wheel The
reyersiblity OF the head lamps also
enables the motorlst to illuminate the
engine from both sides.
