Automobile headlights permitted
under the old law will be tolerated
for a while under the law that went

Motor Vehicles Baughman said this
morning that no one need fear who
is sure he was obeying the old law.
The charge is of a kind that will
make violations more difficult and
prosecutions more effective
Clear glass headlights were for
hidden and are now forbidden. The
non-glare devices will be approved
as soon as the commissioners get
around to that task In the mean
while all will be assumed to be with
in the law. There are about 100 de-
vices on the market. Mr.. Baughman
said NEST of them have been definit-
ely approved before this.
The candlepower is limited now, as
in the past, to 81.
To have in ones possession car
with clear glass is in itself viola
tion of the law and to sell any such
clear glass light is alse forbidden.
Headlights without glass are for
hidden. The new law makes it pos
sihle to prosecute the dealers and
also to make prosecutions in the day
time. 1t is. expected to eliminate the
