REVISED RULES HEAD
LIGHTS AUTOMOBILES

The rules and regulations of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission regarding head
lights on motor vehicles which were
promulgated i: August. 1917 under the
provisions Of law enacted by the
Legislature OF that year and which
have been disregarded by a great many
motorists on account of the fact that
it has been generally supposed that no
penalty was attached to their violation
comes into added prominence this year
through the fact that the Legislature of
1919 imposed an important responsibility
upon the secretary of State in this re-
gard. Under the provisions Of the re-
vised motor vehicle laws which become
effective Jan. /. 1929. the secretary of
ate must demand a statement from.

vehicle for which registration is asked
is equipped with lights which conform
to these rules and regulations. If the
lights do rot so conform. the secretary
OF State must refuse to register the

grant to the owner license to operate
the same. 1t is true that there has te.n

though impossible to fix the exact mo-

case is the infection. and not the scratch

I'VE feel that there is distinct rea-
son justifying the classification of an
thrax as an accident. Anthrax is an in
lection. which is recognized as peculiar
to hides. and as carried by hides. 1t
usually attacks persons who handle
such hides. 1t is not a disease the
source of which must necessarily be in
definite and uncertain 1T
seems to us that a proper classification
lies in the fact that anthrax is not so
much disease as it is a we'll recog-
nized infection from a definite source.

lights and for this reason great man.
motorists have disregarded the whole
law, much to the annoyance Of the
many thousands who have endeavored
to live up to its provisions.
With the going into effect Of the new
revision, however. the person who
takes his car onto the highways with
lights which do not conform to these
regulation subjects himself to heavy
penalty. as will be found by careful
study of the new laws. Section 90 Of
the Revised Statutes. which has been
remembered Section 10 has this to say
regarding lights:
IAN lights attached to motor vehicles
shall conform to the rules and regula-
lions as promulgated from time to
time by the Public Utilities Comm s.
sion"
Section % Of the Revised Statutes.
which has been remembered Section q
by the revision reads:
"Whoever violates any provision Of
the fire preceding sections. shall be
punished by a fine of not less than zen.
OF more l.idH seventy l1i
the first offense. and not less than
twenty-five. or more than one hundred
collars for the second offense comm tied
during any reriod Of twelve months, tr
by imprisonment for a term not exceed
ing sixty days"
Section 10 as remembered is of course
included in the five preceding Sec
tons" and there is little doubt that tire
per atty thus attached includes the ,io-
,ation of the light law.
1t is un5erstood that the Public Utili.
ties Commission refuses to approve anv
Particular lens for the reason that it is
extremely difficult to do so under the
present law. The rules of the commits
sion stipulate that no bulb or lamp
shall be used in any headlight which is
of grea er candle power than "a Co.
equi, alent wattage) The lens in the
headlight must be so arranged that on
a level road the reflected ray at a dis
ta-ce of IS feet in front of the motor
vehicle shall not be greater than AZ
inches from the ground. The commit
SIGN also frowns very severely upon TIL,
use OF spotlights. although it recos-
mes the fact that spotlight has its
tgi innate use.
The Maine Automobile Association
has recommended the barring of the
use Of spotlights entirely. but the COM
mission has evidently not felt just fed
in going so far as to absolutely forbi
their use. In promulgat'n its rules and
regulations in 1917 the commission does
say however. that if these lights are
improperly used they will be entirely
larred.

was passed at the regular session of
the Legislature. the maximum charge
to the state. per patient per week,
was based upon the average per
capita cost of the various hospitals
receiving appropriations. so far as
such figures were available at that
time. Constantly increasing prices
have made it necessary for many
hospitals to charge $3.50 to meet
the cost of the ward care. 1t is only
fair that the State appropriations, so
far as they go, should be expended
on an equal basis. 1t will result in
no increase in appropriations already
made for the years 1919 and 1920.
Furthermore, in the case of the
Children's Hospital at Portland, since
1t has no private rooms, and only a
very small endowment, it has no
source Of revenue to make up any
losses which may occur if by reason
of placing it under the limitations
which it has been found necessary to
apply to general hospitals. the in
stItution is not able to earn the en-
tire appropriation made by the

Violating Dairy Laws
The first case to be tried under the
addition to the dairy laws passed
last winter was made at Bath on
Thursday. Oct. so.
This particular law is under Sec
ton 5, Chapter SIS. Public Laws of
1919. relating to the sale of milk:
1.-THE commissioner may cancel the
certificate of any dealer, who, after
due hearing on complaint by the
commissioner or his authorized agent
is found to be selling milk produced
or handled under insanitary condi-
tons or milk from diseased cows.
The municipal court Of Bath gave
judgment that the milk sold and
produced in that city by w. F. Dun
ton was produced and handled under
insanitary conditions. This case
was taken up and prosecuted b.
Dairy Inspector Brooks Brown OF
Augusta. who had spent much tins
in working up the case.
1t is hoped by this addition to the
law to be able to have dairy prod
ucts handled under more healthfu
conditions. and those refusing to SC
produce milk can be prevented from
selling. as their milk license may be
taken away.
