Reports indicate an undersupply OF
most essential building materials, thus
active conditions are likely to develop
a serious shortage in supplies. Tho
general fundamental conditions cannot
be said 70 be conducive to lower building

appear To be getting under way may be
expected in the natural course OF events

FINE NEW PLAN FOR
HIGHWAY LIGHTING
Would Eliminate Many Acct
dents Now Due to Glaring
Headlights.

With an astounding percentage of
automobile accidents at night credited to
headlight glare-something the many
types of reflectorsand lenses do not
entirely eliminate new plan for maxi
ing the country highways as safe as the
well lighted city streets will be welcome
news to the thousands who use the
highways.
This new plan for banishing the glar-
ing headlight does not call for any
change in the automobile or its head
light. There are now hundreds of diff
ferent kinds of lights and renectors. all
advertised as cure for this evil, which
is annually costing so many lives but
still the accidents occur with the same
old excuse-blinded by the other fellows $
headlight
A simple economic way for illumi-
mating the highways so there will be no
more need for the glaring lights on the
country roads than ON the city streets
IS the solution of the problem offered by
the General Electric Company. which has
just completed a new type incandescent
/ lamp reflector after months of study
and experimenting by the company
corps OF illuminating engineers. test
installation has been made at Swamp
scott. Mass, which has fulfilled all
pledges and predictions of the design
ers--a well lighted highway without q
great waste of illumination on the ad-
joining fields.
An incandescent lamp of $50 candle
power is all that is needed in these re-
flectors placed at height of 80 feet, at
distances from 400 to 600 feet apart, to
illuminate the roadway SO well there is
no need for the glaring headlights.
This new type of reflector. known as
the parabolic nest highway lighting unit

1919 10000 motor vehicles were deliv-
cred 10 buyers over the highways under
their own power 10 points AS far from
the factories as 1000 miles and ov'r.
This Is equal TO 10000 carloads. But
In the first nine months Of 1920 SO Sc
verely did the car shortage strike the
motor car industry that 440,730 ma
chimes. equal to 10000 carloads. were
delivered to buyers in this manner. AL
lowing ten per cent OF this quantity as
nearby or local deliveries and 800 a
carload as an average freight charge on
the remaining 1900 carloads, the
amount OF freight revenue lost to the
carriers through inability to furnish
freight cars during these nine months
was nearly s12.000,000.
Shipments of finished automobiles and
motor trucks from the main plants
reach a volume Of about 100000 carloads
a year. but according TO the freight
commodity statistics OF lie Interstate
Commerce Commission. this figure, in
cluding. however, wheels and parts as
well as shipments OF mosor cars from
all sources. will be nearer 100000 car
loads.

e!nbodieS an entirely new and distinct
feature for collecting the light rays and
casting them only where needed. Engi-
neers have spent years studying schemes
to prevent the illumination of fields adj
joining roadways and yet have light
that would properly illuminate the road
and do SO without glare. A nest OF re-
Electors, or series of three, one within
the other. Is the outstanding feature OF
the new unit. There are similar OPEN
ings on either end, and by this means
the greater part of the light that would
be lost under ordinary conditions by re-
flecting upward and ont to the al join
ing fields is collected and cast in either
direction upon the road surface. The
rays that would escape if only the one
reflector was used are picked up by the
inner reflectors and directed toward the
roadway at an angle of 10 degrees be-
low the horizontal. giving the same eff
feet as an overhead reflector Is feet in
diameter. The white reflecting surfaces
of the unit reduce the glare from the
incandescent lamp without the aid OF
diffuslng globes. The fixture also ar
fords much better projection TO the
globe than offered by the type or re-
flector now found on some highways on
the outskirts of cities.
The bracket holding the reflectors is
adjustable In both vertical and horizon
tai directions. so that the fixture can be
mounted on poles close to the edge of
the highway or on others which may be
back many feet and can also be turned
so as to Illuminate curves and hillsides.
In other words the opening In the lower
pant of the reflector can be kept practi-
caliy parallel and in line with the road
surface under any conditions.

city OF Cleveland of the 3,540 traffic
accidents that occurred during one year
This was done to show, so far as pos
sible. how many of t..a 1858 accidents
which occurred aft dark would have
been avoided If da yight or its eQuiva-
lent had been available. 1t showed that
292 accidents, fourteen of which We're
fatal. were directly attributed to lack
OF light. This conclusion was reached
by comparing the number of accidents
during the hours OF the night which are
light in the summer and dark in the
winter.
The condition In Cleveland Is consid-
cred typical of those in other large
cities. all tending to show the need for
better illumination of the country high
ways.
Now that lighting unit has been
the problem so far as illumination is
concerned, there remains but one out
standing obstacle to make the high
ways safe at night and that is a plar
for apportioning the expense OF the I'M
provement. Farmers who own land ad-
joining the roads claim their benefit will

AUTO INDUSTRY

Yearly.

Tho automobile industry has been a
rc.at boon to the railroads. To build
automobiles and motor trucks requires
i.esvy materials. steel. wood. metals.
fuel, tires--thousands of tons annually.
II is on such activities that our railroads
thrive.
Although the amount oc freight paid
by the industry to the railroads cannot
be stated with accuracy owing TO the
diversified and tremendous amount of
ssipplng to and from plants engaged in
rhe manufacture OF engines. wheels.
bodies, tires and other parts and ma
terials, some indication of the industry
as a supporting factor OF the rail lines
may be had from figures given out by
~. S. Marvin. general traffic manager,
National Automobile Chamber of Com
n,erce, In connection with shipments Of
finished automobiles and trucks from
the factories.
Based on the number Of carload ship
ments OF completely assembled machines
recorded In 1919 and allotting them to
the several territories hi about the pro-
portion of registration. the estimate In
dicates a total freight bill of $56, 5000, 900.
III addition TO this it is believed that not
less than S10,000,000 was paid on car
load shipments of parts forwarded from
the main automobile plants to branch
plants for assembling, which would in
crease the total to $66,000.0o0. Apply
ing the increased freight rates recently
auu orized by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, this sum. It is estimated
will be raised 100000 on an equal
volume of shipments during the ensuing
year. or a total of sss.0o0,o00.
