NEW AUTO LAW
 NOW IN EFFECT
Bisbee and Lowell Garages Will Test Headlights To-
 night Without Charge

Free tests of auto headlights to see if they comply with the new dinner law that was enacted by the last state legislature, and under which all motorists are now instructed to oper- ate their cars if they would avoid ar rest, will be made each evening at Frank Thayer's Garage at Lowell be- tween 7:30 and 10 o'clock. and for Studebaker owners at the Bisbee Auto company, On Main street, between 7:30 and S:30 o'clock. Motorists may simply drive into one of these places and have the man in charge make the test.
 The method of testing is to place the car on a 100-foot level runway with wall at the back against which the lights are directed and on which black scale has been painsed grad uated in inches. If the lights heed adjusting the auto owner will be so informed.

All additional or supplement tai lights including movable spot lights or. searchlights shall comply with above restrictions and the rays of light from any such searchlight or spotlight shall at no time extend to the left of the center of the highway, All spotlights used upon motor vehi- cles and tractors shall be so cC-- structed or arranged that no portion of the top of the beam or light shall rise or shall be capable of being rais- ed by any person occupying any DOT tion of such vehicle, to a point above the level surface upon which the ve- hicle stands and one hundred Q0OJ feet directly ahead of such vehicle except that when beam of light is swung thirty (30) degrees to the left or right of the straight ahead position nc limitation is placed on height to which the beam may be raised No spotlight shall be used on or attached to any vehicle other than a motor " hicle or tractor Spotlights are lights ]. other than headlights, the direction of which is under. the control of any I-cccupaJIt of'the' vehicle
