Motors and Motorists

No doubt grear many automobilists
sincerely believe they have fulfilled
their obligations to the law and to
other motorists when they attach some
kind of protective headlight glass to
their cars. Actual experience on the
roads at night, however, makes it per-
fectly clear that merely to fit even
preferred" kind of glass is not enough
to prevent glare. In fact, some Of the
hest known and best advertised non
glare glasses present the most offensive
results.
Two SUCH in particular, unquestion~ y
ably do prevent glare if used under
the proper conditions. Driving at night
toward them, however, can be made
acutely Uncomfortable if the motorist
thinks he has done enough to buy the
glasses and put them in, and does not
realize that there are certain other
matters such as adjustment and focus
ing of the lamps and the use of
proper size and strength Of bulb, that
must be taken into consideration be-
fore it is possible to form a success
fW combination.
There IS nothing more dangerous to
other users of the road than dazzling
srd garing headlights and some of
the glasses for which SO much is
claimed really do not work out any bet
ter than the old time straight head
lights, which certainly were bad enough.
The use of extremely high powered
nitrogen bulbs nullifes the effect of
putting on diTusirg or DETECTING
glass. Respect for the right of other
users of the road demands that motor
ist should equip his carSso as to make
il comfortable for others to be on the
same highway with him, instead of
making it not only disagrceabe, but
often extremely dangerous.
The Van Blerck Motor Company, of
Monroe, Mich, has appointed Guy w.
Vaughan vice president and general
manager. Mr.. Vaughan is we'll known
and well remembered automobile rae
ing driver in these parts and has been
ir the automobile business for eighteen
years.
He comes to the marine motor field
from making airplane engines. During
the war he was in charge of production
for the Wright Martin Company, making
ilispano-Suiza motors, both at New
Brunswick and Long Island City.

DID SPORTS WIN THE WAR?

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 4 DMIRAL vON TIRPIFZ comes up M pathetically with a statement in EA his book that he couldn't bring
 himself to- spirit of rejoicing over the German victories in 1914, since he says that he felt that "our people do not yet understand that the greatest danges, the polo-playing English, still remains. It is mistake to hold them in contempt" Well, after the resolute French and the polo-playing, football playing and cricket-playing English had held the German line along came the baseball playing Americans and finish ed Up the job. So, in these days, when what the Cincinnati "Reds'' did to the White Sox is displayed before all eyes in the biggest of type and described in "baseballese" with vigor and elo- quence that give some surcease to the strike situation or the league of na- tions issue, one may well wonder whether in the long run it cannot be proved that the sporting nations won the war and that it was the play spirit
 
 nations that saved the situation plus the heroic and indomitable resistance of the French to the invasion of their country and the destruction of their homes and firesides
 The dour critics, therefore, who would suggest that we might be about better business than getting excited over the league champions all too evi- dently argue without their hosts. Even Kipling. who wished to pose as the laureate of empire and the mentor of the British in the Boer War, was all together out of touch with national psychology when he objected to the British newspapers during the war playing up the cricket and football cannes alongside of the sad reports

 60HE question of the source of funds
 used to entertain the Prince of
 S Wales is not a new one. It was raised once before when another prince cousin of this princes father--was a suest of the United States. At that time. President Roosevelt was the host. The guest was Prince Henry Of Rus sia. whose brother was at that time the German emperor, and whose cousin IS the King of Great Britain. The enter tainment was royal one, costing around ten thousand dollars. That was more than the White House exchequer
 could stand, so President Roosevelt sent for Representative Joseph G. Can non. This was before Uncle Joe" had entertained the speakership, but he was almost as powerful then, for he was chairman of she appropriations com mittee of the House of Representatives. He erowled so much about the money that was spent that they called him "the Watchdog of the Treasury" He did some characteristic growing when President Roosevelt told him that Con- rress would have to appropriate slo.- oo0 for the entertainment of Prince Henry.

His shrill invective aimed at "the f1anneled fools at the wicket and the muddled oafs at the goals" was entirely without point, since not only did the English liking for play back up the national morale. but it also gave the youth of England an indirect training in those things which were of highest value in the hard life of the trenches a generation later.
