.AUTOISTS OBSERVE new
DINNER LIGHT Law

Wilmington automobilists generally
last night observed the new law prohib-
iting glaring headlights Practically
every ear on the streets used DINNERS
or no glare headlights, and the police
were not called upon to make any ar
rests. Several automobilists who used
glaring headlights when they thought
policemen were not around, were warned
that a repetition would mean arrest.
1t was noticeable last night that au-
tomobilsts with dim lights did not run
at as high speed as usual on city
streets. Chief of Police Black has given
instructions to the police that yellow or
amber headlights are not allowed. as the
law provides that each automobile shall
display two white lights on front. New
Jerseys automobile authorities have
made similar ruling. Chief Black is
deluged with inquiries as TO what lights
will come within the law and what are
prohibited The cllef approved as law
ful a special type of no-glare headlights
after tests were made last night.
