CLEARING LIGHTS.
AREDANGEROUS.
Many Motor Cars Being Op-
Grated Without Approved
Dimming Devices.

The time Is drawing near when the
use Of passenger automobiles viii be
greatly increased. particularly al
night As the weather becomes
warmer motorists who have not used
their cars to any extent during the
winter months will begin taking
evening drives.
With the increased number OF cars
on the streets and roads the danger
from the glaring headlights of auto
mobilists who have failed to obey the
law by equipping their cars with an
approved dimming device will also
increase.
There are many automobiles rIn-
nIng around without any dimming de-
vice whatever. endangering the lives
OF the drivers and the lives Of drivers
Of other cars, as well rs pedestrians
Disregard Safety of Others:
1t has been said that large numbers
OF automobiles travel over the streets
every night with caring headlights,
absolutely disregarding the driving
comfort and safety of others
When the glare from these lights
strikes another driver il is almost i'm
possible for him to see just where he
Is going and to prevent colliding with
another vehicle or striking a pedes-
trian- He has no chance of securing
the other cars number unless he
turns around and gives chase.
The policeman, however, has the
advantage; he can see the car COM
ing, can determine whether or not the
lights are properly dimmed, and II
not get the number from the rear
after it has passed.
If this plan Is followed vigorously
for a short time, a number brought
to arrest and heavily fined it is likely
10 put an end to this very dangerous
" violation o. the law.
1t has been pointed out that dealers
can also help matters along by
strongly urging purchasers OF cars to
equip them with proper lenses before
they are delivered.
There is another set of motorists
that violate the law requiring the
proper lighting OF their vehicles. those
who do not have their rear lights in
the proper place and those who do
not keep their rear lamps burning.
The law requires the tail lamps to
be in such a position that they will
throw a white light on the license
number.
1t has been pointed out that this Is
practiced more by the reckless driver
than by others, as it enables him to
get away after an accident at night
without his Identification number be-
coming known
The man who fails to keep his IamI
burning at all. in addition to violat-
ing the law requiring that a light be
thrown on the tag, violates as well
that section requiring that a red light
be shown in the rear. He also is al
ways in danger of having some one
crash into him from the rear with
the probability that his NEGLECT will
necessitate his paying for the damage
done the other car as well as his
own.

say is about forty feet above the
ground, what would be the effect?
Horrible, you say. Quite right. The
force of the impast when the car hit
the ground would be equal to its strik-
ing or collision force of being driven
at a speed of thirty-five miles per
hour.
A drop Of '163 feet is equal to a force
delivered to car when travelling at
a rate Of seventy miles per hour. BY
doubling the speed you increase the
force of the blow four-fold.
Yea, verify. the responsibility of the
tire is great.

and in the Rough Rider regiments
and in addition has had in it several
years work as instructor and COM
mandant of cadets in military pre-
paratory schools. 1t was as a re-
suit of this experience and knowl-
edge of America need of trained
men for her ships that was born the
idea which has resulted in the u. S.
Junior Naval Reserve and its work.
He conceived the possibility of es
tablishing a training system which
would provide an opportunity for am
bilious American boys to prepare
themselves for life careers at sea and
at the same time make certain a
continuing supply of trairad men for
the navy and merchant marine Two
years ago with the aid of prominent
men who saw the possibilities of the
thing Major Physioc got the actual
training work under way.
FLORIDA STANDS ALONE.
The training plan provided for To-
cal posts and waterside camps These
were rapidly established The first
waterside camp was on the Thames
River near New London, Conn.,, and
is known as Camp Dewey. 1t is a
summer camp. The next camp was
opened at Corpus Christi, Texas, but
is not in operation this winter as
everything is being concentrated at
the new Florida camp. More than
5000 boys between the ages of 1e
and Is years have been enrolled
through the local posts and water
side camps in the two years. More
than 1000 boys have received train
ing at Camp Dewey while 225 were
trained at the one season at Corpus
Christi. OF the bows who have re-
ceived training in those camps 325
are today serving aboard American
ships.
The training work has in these
two years proven its practicability
and it IS now contemplated to extend
the movement to every state in the
Union. Florida was selected as the
state best suited in which to make
the start for the nationwide training
movement. Under the plan now be-
ing put into effect local posts are to
be increased in number in every state
and each state is to have its own per-
manent training Camp for the older
cadets Governors of a dozen states
have already evidenced their interest
in the plan to the extent of co-operat-
ing and assisting in building up the
necessary state organization for the
establishment Of the camps.
The training as carried out in the
camps is designed primarily for boys
who have not means to prepare them
selves for definite careers. On ac-
count of the continued demand some
few scholarships for pay boys have
been maintained in the various
camps The work has been carried
forward through the generosity of
men and women in all parts of the
country who saw in this unique
an opportunity to he of aid
to ambitious boys and at the same
time to render real service to the
government in supplying trained men
for the seafaring life.

Florida Has Only Camp In
i. Which Navy Boys Train

New York, Feb. 1.-The State of
florida has the unique distinction at
tne present time of having within it's
pounds the only only camp school in
the United States where American
boys between the age of Ii to Is
years are being trained for service
ABOARD American ships. This water
side school which is known as Camp
Josephus Daniels is located at West
Palm Beach on the shores of Lake
Worth. 1t has just been opened by
the y. s. Junior Naval Reserve. an
organization with headquarters in
New York City whose sole purpose
IS the training of American boys for
sea service.
The opening of Camp Josephus
Daniels marks the beginning of
nation wide movement inaugurated
DIV the Junior Naval Reserve to turn
the thought of American boys to-
ward the sea as life career and to
provide the training necessary to
make those boys capable seamen
and at the same time to provide the
navy and merchant marine of this
country with a continuing supply of
American born trained men.
Camp Josephus Daniels occupies a
be at home in the water as well as on
purpose bv persons keenly interested
In the undertaking. The latter part
of December the first detachment of
cadets from the national headquart-
ers in New York City arrived at the
site of the new camp and at once be-
gan the work of laving out and build
ing the camp More cadets con-
tinued to arrive and within two weeks
a model camp was erected, practical
ly all the work being done by the
cadets under the direction of officer
instructors.
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR 200.
The camp will this winter accom-
modate 200 cadets, all housed in up
to-date tents with wooden walls and
raised floors. The cadets have also
built recitation buildings, a mess
hall and last, but not least, a stunt
guard house The camp is equipped
with power boats and ship's cutters
which are used in the training work
on the water.
At this camp school the cadets are
given infantry and artillery drill,
training in the handling of boats. in
struction in swimming that they may
be at home in the water as well as
the water, the rudiments of seaman
ship and navigation and instruction
in regular school subjects embracing
mathematics, GEOGRAPHY. Spanish and
similar lines. The cadets live ac-
cording to a we'll planned routine
which combines the training of both
the mind and body The course Of
training at the camp will cover a pc
riod of six months and is such that
the bow who completes it is well or
his way toward making for himself
a place on board an American ship.

Any afternoon at o'clock that a

If the drivers of teams who make
use Of the public drinking fountain at
West Main and Washington streets
there would be less objection to the
fountain as street obstruction.
Horses attached to vehicles can be
watered there without blocking traf-
fic or blockading the streets. Probably
a little education along this line
would be productive of much good.
And members of the police force
could help materially in pointing out
to drivers the proper way of approach
ing the fountain when they desire to
water their horses.
