CASH FOR SERVICE
PLAN WORKS We'll

By Recommendation OF the War
Economy Board. several prominent
motor car dealers have adopted the
cash basis for service department
work. The results OF this radical
change are interesting not only because
of the manner in which the change was
received by patrons. but also because
OF the positive Improvement in service
and economy in cost.
Ralph Shaffer. vice president Of the
American Automobile Company OF Ia
coma, Wash. one Of the prominent
distributors Of the Liberty Six on the
Pacific Coast, says:

and individuals were accustomed to
write or telephone for parts and have
them charged.

There were, in addition, many

In addition. Lexington builders
had looked far ahead and antici-
pated today. They prepared with
a large inventory of materials.
Or top of all this, Lexington
enjoys wonderful production ad-
vantagcs because of its affiliation
with ten large factories devoted to
specializing in motor cars parts.
This alliance permits quicker
production, it makes possible
many manufacturing economies,
and a cooperation that produces
better designed and better built
cars.
Third, Lexington leads in giving

TRY TO OBV|ATE
HEADLIGHT GLARE

The subject OF the regulation OF
automobile headlights is one that has
been under serious consideration for
some time in the various States, as
evidenced by the laws, which have re-
Gently been enacted aimed to elimi-
nate the dangers attending the pres
ent system of lighting. The need of
taking up this matter and finding
some satisfactory solution of the
problem has been emphasized by the
large number of accidents that have
resulted from the methods OF lighting
whereby the glare in the eyes OF
drivers Of approaching cars has
meant frequent disaster.
According to reports from the
American Automobile Association,
proper lighting for an automobile
has to be considered from three
points OF view: first, the needs of the
driver of the car itself; second, the
needs of the driver of an approaching
car; and, third. the needs of those
travelling in vehicles or on foot. All
three are interested parties in this
matter.
Special Regulations.
~Twenty-one States have special
regulations covering non-glare head
lights, and most of them require that
no direct ray OF light shall be cast
at a greater height than AZ inches
from the ground at q distance of IS
feet in front OF the car. This pro-
vision is the outcome OF considerable
study and a series of experiments
conducted by automobile engiEeers
and Is recommended as the best
provision at this time available for
overcoming the dangers and annoy
ances incident to the use OF glaring
lights. There are nearly 100 different
makes of lenses and automobile light
controlling devices which have been
approved by various States, and many
OF them have been foun4 quite salts.
factory.
+ There are several ways in which a
substantial compliance with the law
may be insured without purchasing
special controlling devices. Among
these may be noted the following:
1. Tilting the headlamps. If the
headlamps are tilted downward suf-
ficiently toward the road, suitable
conditions for complying with the law
may be secured.
2. Covering the upper half OF the
front glass WITH dense dlnuSlng
coating on with white paper and ad-
justing the bulb back Of the focus
makes a fairly good expedient.>
3. Covering the upper half OF the
bulb with a semi-opaque substance
and adjusting the focus accomplishes
a similar result.
Other Methodr.
There are other methods which may
be employed. but probably none of
them will give as good a result as
the use Of asgood commercial device
designed for the purpose.
To focus and adjust the lights prop
erly. place the machine on the level
and measure q distance of 20 feet
to the front. Make mark on a board
or on the coat OF an individual 42
inches from the ground, and see that
the upper circumference of the solid
volume OF reflected light does not
strike above the mark. Police officers
and others can determine the distance
from the ground by noting a certain
button. pocket, or any other distance
mark and by stepping in front OF the
machine may determine whether or
not the lights are properly detected
