not as yet started to get busy IN equip
ping their headlights so as to conforms |
10 the new regulations issued last week
BY Secretary of state Ed. Jackson. they |
had better begin to commence that nee
essary task right away. according TO
information that Is sent to this news |

The Hoosier State Association an
nounces it Is cooperating with Secre-

al work because the Automobile Asso-
citation Is promarily interested In saw
ing lives and averting accidents on tho
highways It is declared there 10 no
greater cause for accidents, some OF
| which result fatally. than binding
headlights. Under the new resuia-
tions the binding light from auto or
| truck or motorcycle lamps may virtual
| ly be eliminated.
Local police officials are advised to
become familiar with the requirements
of the new regulation. The secretary
| OF state has plenty OF copies OF the
pamphlets covering the new regulations
and will be glad to mail them to any
one one request. II is PROBABLE, how
| ever. that virtually every service sta
ton man or accessory dealer in Ham
mand and other towns Of this county,
already have these pam phlets. The
secretary Of state urges that owners OF
/ passenger cars. trucks and motorcycles
visit their dealer or service sta. ion a.
once and obtain approved devices and
see that they are properly adjusted.

ough tests. has approved a number OF
devices. The list will be added to
| later, Il is stated, as not all manufact-
urers have as yet submitted their de-
| vices for the state laboratory tests.
| The present approved list included
The following lenses or detecting de-
| vices: Smith-Davis defiector smaller
Roadlighter. Macbeth lens. type d;

It is understood that many local-cars
are already equipped with various len
SEES OF a diffusing type. These. 1t Is
| declared, will not pass the requiem nts
OF the new regulations. Many lenses
