INTERESTING TALK ON
NEW HEADLIGHT LAW
State Highway Commission
Offers Suggestions to
Car Owners

Attorney General Gibson has is
sued orders to all state, county and
municipal peace officers to enforce
strict obedience to the Headlight
Law after September 1st.
w. M. Colladay, superintendent
of the State Automobile Depart
ment has taken personal charge of
the campaign to enforce the law.
The State Highway Commission
has no part in the campaign fur
ther than that the last legislature
made it duty of the Commission
to test and pass upon all lenses Of
fered by manufacturers 1t is
glad, however, to be of assistance
in every way possible to make
safer the use of the Iowa highways
and for this reason is glad to make
public all information possible to
car owners. Tests are being made
Just as fast as makers submit
lenses. Lists of the lenses passing
the tests are supplied to Superin-
tendent Colladay as fast as tests
are completed. The superintend-
ent in turn officially places the
names of these lenses upon the ap-
proved list and purchasers may
safely buy any one of them. The
aaw does not forbid the sale Of
lenses not on the approved list. !.
Car owners can make their own
focal adjustments. 1t is not neces-
sary to comply with the law to
have the work done at garage.
1t is not necessary to have a
receipt or certificate stating that
lights have been adjusted at gar
age or focal adjusting station.
1t isn't necessary to pay fee of
S1.00 or any other amount for d
certificate or for an examination of
the lamps. If any garage or deal
,er makes charge for such service
he is doing it entirely upon his
own authority just as he would
charge for the adjustment or re-
pair of carburetor or any other
part of the car. The payment of
such fee is matter entirely be-
tween the car owner and the one
performing the service and has
nothing whatever to do with COM
plying with the law.
Receipts or certificates issued for
this lens adjustment do not pro-
vide immunity from prosecution
under the law in case OF arrest.
Should lamp get out of adjust
ment five or ten minutes after some
garage or adjustment station had
issued a certificate, the car owner
would be violating the headlight
law just the same as if he had
never had his lenses adjusted A
Judge might, however, take into
consideration that the owner had
actually paid a fee to have his
lamps properly adjusted and make
the punishment lighter or entirely
remit the fine if he saw fit.
How to make focal adjustments:
Focal adjustment No. Move
lamp bulb forward and, backward
in reflector until circle Of light on
wall or screen 25 feet in front of
car is SMALL AS POSSIBLE with
no dark spot in center.
Focal adjustment No. 2--Make
adjustment No. |. Move bulb
slightly backward until DARK
SPOT SHOWS FAMILY in cen
ter OF light field. Light field will
be considerably larger than in No.
adjustment.
Focal adjustment No. 3-Make

Slightly forward until DARK
SPOT DISAPPEARS. Light field
will be larger than No. ] adjust
ment and smaller than No. 2.

At the time the Frazier murder
was committed, there was a charge
of murder pending against Ratliff
for killing a man, who, he claimed
had interfered with his domestic
relations.
Governor McRae listened very
carefully to the presentation of the
case and took it under advisement.
There have been no further de-
velopments in the Elaine cases, since
the filing of the petition for appeal
in the United States Supreme Court
last week. Governor McRae says
that he has no further action to
take unless directed to do so by the
courts, since he has fixed the day
grOcs on September %. Counsel
for the condemned men are still
confident that some means will be
found to prevent electrocution.

MAJOR SAM MeCULLOUGH'S
LEAP FOR LIFE

Fort Henry was a little stockade
built for the protection of the settlers
Of West Virginia against the British
and Indians during the War Of the
Revolution. 1t stood on the Ohio
river near the present site Of Wheel
ing. In the summer OF 1777 when 1t
was besieged by strong force Of saw
ages, Maj. Sam Mccullough, a noted
border leader, left Fort Pitt at the
head of 40 men to raise the siege.
Coming in sight Of the fort, McCul-
lough's men made a dash for the gates
and passed through them in safety, al
though the Indians made a desperate
effort to cut them off. Major McCul-
Tough held back to cover the retreat
Of his men until they were safely with
in it's walls and delayed so long that
the redskins succeeded in getting be-
tween him and the fort.
Setting spurs to his horse, the
ranger leader dashed for a hill back
Of the fort. At its top he met another
band Of Indians and at the same time
a third group approached him from
another direction. The Indians were
now on three sides Of him. On the
other was high precipice projecting
over Wheeling creek, 800 feet below.
The ranger was cornered.
The Indians raised yell Of triumph
MS they closed in on him. But when
they saw Mccullough turn his horse
toward the cliff. they stopped in
amazement.
Urging his horse to dead run, the
scout dashed toward the precipice. At
the brink of the chasm he drove home
the spurs and as his mount flew into
the air braced himself in the saddle.
The first leap was clear drop of so
feet, but both horse and rider were
uninjured as they landed on the steep
bank. Then slipping and sliding for
250 feet more, they came to the creek
bottom.
AS the Indians rushed to the edge
Of the precipice expecting to see the
crushed forms of horse and man far
below, they were astonished at the
sight of the major, still upright in the
saddle, plunging into the creek and
riding up the other side to safety.
Within a few hours he was back at
Fort Pitt, organizing larger expedi-
ton to march to Fort Henry.
Five years later as Major McCul-
Tough and his brother were riding
along a road nearNVan Metres fort,
unsuspecting danger, they rode direct
ly into an Indian ambush. This time
McCullough's horsemznship could do
him no good. A dozen Indian rife
shots rang out and Sam Mccullough
fell dead.
