The automobile headlamp advisory
committee finds the headlamp law
passed by the last legislature will
permit the use of homemade devices.
Motorists must know something
about headlights, just as they do
about other parts Of the car. The
law requires him to have headlamps
properly adjusted and equipped;
otherwise the car cannot be operated
on the highways after shutdown with
out violation of law. One of the best
and most efficient homemade devices
for regulating the beam Of light
from headlamps is to cover half of
the front glass with paper, black
paint or some frosting compound.
While this method cuts off half of
the light, it. complies. with the law at
little. or no expense to the motorist,
provided the reflector. is in good con-
dition and properly focused. The
committee will later publish direct
ions how to accomplish this result.
Numerous lenses which are said to
accomplish the same result are on
the market but none have yet been
approved by the authorities. lex.
