Glare-Lights Are
Unkind

Then every motorst knows thai
glare lights are baneful and IN
kind. So dangerous. so offensive
that a thousand laws forbid them.
They are outlaws now IN 3 en-
tire states.
Note how many fine cars now
equip with Wamer-Lenz. Thai
indicates the trend.
They mean a light which Is not
affected BY nse and fall of the
car. OF BY turning Of the lens IN
the lamp-rim.
They mean up-tO-date equipment
such as FINE cars are adopting.
And lawful lights which never
give offense. For all these rea-
sons, change your lenses now.
