Car Lights Studied
Warning Is Sent Out

t'Wateh your headlights Such is
the warning that has been sent broad
cast from one end of the Coast to the
other, and Oregon is the last to fix
safe night driving laws, for the security
of after-dark traffic.
All headlights in the future must be
equipped in accordance with the die
tates of the law, so that no portion of
the light from an automobile head lamp
shall be of sufficient intensity to blind
the "other fellow"
Delinquent motorists who have not
complied with the law will be taken
in hand by the police as costly and
embarrassing reminder of their inadyer-
tenee.
Lenses Are Classified.
Many outoists have been confused
concerning the stipulations of ''the new
headlight law which is directed at all
motorists for the purpose of making
night travel safe and pleasurable.
During the recent test conducted by
the Oregon headlight committees for the
purpose of eliminating illegal devices,
it was shown that headlight illumina-
tion automatically elassifies itself un-
der: ssContro1led or refraeted light, -
and "non-eontrolled or defused light. -
Refraeted light is caused by pris-
matte lenses, which bend the light ray
downward and make glare impossible.

CHALMERS MOTOR
IS WONDERFUL One

"The Chalmers performance was
wonderful one,'' said Joe Dawson i'm
mediately after he had finished the
"a hour test. "It seems almost lmpos-
sible to believe that a ear of only 22i
inches piston displacement could set
such a great record. Not only that,
but could go through with absolutely
no mechanical mishap. Driving on
Sheepshead Bay Speedway is, perhaps,
a severer test on ear than the In
dianapolis Speedway, with which am
so familiar l had never driven on the
Sheepshead Bay Speedway up to TINS
time, but | have driven on the Indiana
track for seven or eight years. The
Indianapolis track is a trifle easier on
motors because it is almost Impossible
to hold ear without opening up on
the turns, A second S shut-off getting
into the turns at Indianapolis gives the
motor a chance to cool off and rest
up. but the Chalmers had no such op-
portunity as this at Sheepshead'
''We were out to get a record set by
a car of GA cubic inches greater piston
and we decided to tune
the car almost at its maximum for the
entire distance. We could not take
chance in giving a ear breathing
space. She had to have stamina and
speed if we were to get the record.
Personally, l have a great regard
for this little Chalmers motor. drove
it at the rate Of 9412 miles an hour IN
Florida, and l have driven it over eoun
try roads and on the Chicago and the
New York speedways, but | have never
asked it 10 do anything that it has not
done.
esI used to think that when the
Frenehmen came over here with 800
cubic inch motors and took the laurels
away from the American manufactur-
ers with much greater piston displaee-
ment. that the American manufacturer
was behind the times. Since being con-
neeted with the Chalmers company, |
have come to the conclusion that the
American manufacturer is not behind
the times, and that he can make as
speedy a machine as the foreigner, and
one that will stand up much better.

level as below.
Observation-Disclosures bulbs have
been established as maximum for "non-
controlled light lenses,'' due to the dam
gerous glare which would be caused by
the use of high-power bulbs. The ques-
tion has, therefore, been raised: ffWilI
