It gave Congressman Graham
much pleasure to present this sum
70 the city, as it was the represent

gurCted the fight in congress which
was successful in obtaining a
change in the laws so that the
housing corporation would have to
carry out the contract it entered
into with Rock Island in the mat
ter OF paying for public improve
ments.
Owed City $4,000.
Previous to yesterday the United
States Housing corporation owed
the city Of Rock Island and various
other taxing bodies a sum slightly
over $4,000 for general taxes and
paving assessments. This debt was
due on contracts made by the cor.
Poration with these bodies at the
time that the houses were bull;

More Hudson and more Essex au-

held in Mexico City from April 16 to

two makes, or exactly half of all sales
of American made cars. The Cia.

made all the sales. In all. 100 cars
were sold at the show. the other 10
being European models.

CHEVROLET MAKES
HIT WITH ANGEL
CITY OFF ICIALS

According to Bert o. Brown, Los
Angeles has just purchased 81 Chew
rolet automobiles.
Announcement to this effect was
made by the Los Angeles Chevrolet
Dealers association recently. The
cars were taken by the publics service
department.
With the delivery of this number
of cars. it is believed that record
has been set for low priced car deliv-
cries in Los Angeles. The Chevro-
let has been winning a host OF
friends since it's remarkable record
in the Los Angeles Yosemite econo-
my run, wherein it maintained rec
ord of 80 miles to the gallon of gaso-
line.
"The Chevrolet is a light, low
priced car, and exceedingly economi-
cal in operation and is particularly
adapted to the needs of a city" says
Brown. "In order to keep taxes as
low as possible, it is essential that
the city have as cheap transportation
as is consistent with good service.
After long investigation, the purchas-
ing department decided that such
maximum service at low cost could
best be had through the Chevrolet.

to fulfill its purpose and confuses
other drivers.
Proper focusing of lights makes it
possible for the driver to keep his
eyes on the road. While it may be
somewhat natural for ones attention
to be attracted to bright lights it is
not at all difficult with little prac-
tice to ignore them completely, re-
membering only that they are the
sign of an approaching car.
The next time you are driving at
night and meet car with bright
lights just try this experiment. Don't
signal for the other driver to dim MS
lights. Let them tell you the course
of his car but don't look directly into
them. And then keep your car on
your side of the road and watch the
highway ahead of you directly in
front of your car and to the right
hand side.
You will be surprised how simple
a matter it is to drive easily and
safely in the glare of powerful lights.
Another good thing for motoring
would result If pedestrians would
acquire the habit of walking on the
left of the road, much in the manner
that experienced railroad men always
walk on the left-hand track on
double track systems. In this way
the pedestrian or the track-walker
can see what is coming and can d.
rect his steps in advance of any
danger of being run down.
Improved highways have been a
great boon to residents of country
districts and sections on the out
skirts of towns and cities. Good
roads mean better walks for them
-
find many of them out at night, en-
joying the air, perhaps wheeling
baby carriages or walking with chill
dren in hand.
How easy it is to miss seeing these
pedestrians, who are entitled to walk
on the good roads provided for the
community, when one is driving with
dimmed electric lights. They are
| lost in the darkness and if they are
| on the right hand side of the road,
they have no warning of the ap-
proach of a motor car when the car
| is coming from the rear with very
dim lights.
Regulations controlling the use of
electric lights are of great concern
| to those who drive. An intelligent
use of roads is needed and likewise
an intelligent use of electric head
| lamps.
Think of the instances that have
come to your attention where acci-
dents have resulted from driving
with dimmed lights. And then try to
recall those that might have come
| from bright lights. If you think that
! you should lessen the speed of your
| car in the face of bright lights, very
well: but for the safety of yourself
and others who may be on the road,
stop dead still if you think that you
must dim your lights when another
car approaches you.
! 1t is not a question of reducing the
strength of headlights so much as it
| is one of making the best use of
stronger light properly focused.

HEADLIGHT LAWS
NEED REvA|NP ING
MOST URGENTLY
Strange Roads Hold Many
Dangers To Travellers
State Laws Don't Jibe

Not only does the great incor1-
sistency in headlight dimming laws
and regulations throughout the coun-
try present a problem to the motor
car manufacturer but the discrep-
ancy also imposes difficulties and
dangers on the tourist.
The traveller does not know what
TO do as he motors along strange
roads at night. Is he expected to
dim his lights on the approach of
another vehicle or is he permitted
the use of the full strength of his
lights at all times? Or do traffic
rules require that his lamps always
be dimmed one way or another?
Those who have motored through
various parts of the country In re-
cent wears realize that there is some
f71ing fundamentally wrong in the
present and common practice of dim
ming electric headlamps. A better
understanding of the problems OF
driving a motor car at night is
needed both by state authorities, IN
whose power it is to make laws gov
erning the use of lights, and by mo-
torists generally.
The idea that when two cars are
approaching each other both should

basically unsound. dangerous and in
furious to both drivers. What is
needed is more light properly used
and less light improperly used.
The dinming of lights on country
roads is responsible for more cross
ing accidents, more collisions at
turns or narrow parts of roads. more
running down of pedestrians and We
hicIes than any other single cause.
On first thought, this may seem
somewhat overstated Most of US
have believed that the safest way
TO drive at night was to cut down
the lights. That was because we
were more interested in the other
drivers bright lights than we were
in watching the road The oncom-
ing glare attracted our eye and we
signaled for the driver to dim
Either he did or he didn't and we
thought him either courteous or dis
courteous. With our attention TO-
cused on approaching lights, it has
been natural for us to become
Arizona republican., 1922-06-25

blinded. to wish that the driver would
turn down so that we might pass
with our own lights dimmed, and to
believe that dinning was the only
solution for the problem OF driving
at night.
What happens, when approaching
drivers dim their lights. thinking
that they are helping each other?
Let us see.
Where there has been a great
abundance of light, sufficient for
driving at moderate speed, there is
now little light. scarcely more than
in the days of the old-fashioned oil
lamps.
Neither driver can see the road
ahead of him. He does not know
what obstruction is before him. he
does not know but what there might
be a horse drawn vehicle or pedes-
trian in his path. He cannot see be-
cause he has not enough light on the
road In that pocket of blackness,
most any object might be hidden
that would cause far more serious
accident than could happen If one
knew how to drive properly in the
face of approaching lights.
Because ii is recognized that there
dimmed lights than with bright
lights. some sections of the country
are now penalizing drivers who dim
their lights instead of those who fail
to do so.
On some roads authorities agree
that it is safer to drive at night with
all cars using bright lights than II
ii to motor over the same roads DUR
| ing the day.
And why? Because the bright light
| thrown far ahead of the car is the
| best signal possible to show that a
car is making a turn in the road. Is
coming from behind some obstruc-
ton, or is approaching another ve-
hicle or pedestrian from the rear
Noise may drown the sound OF a
horn, but what is there that can OBJ
| literate the warning signal OF pail
of bright headlights?
On hills, climbing UP or going
| down. over narrow roads, through
wooded country and thickly popu-
| lated districts. the driver needs al
the light he can possibly have, ever
| if he is only moving at an ordinary
| speed. His task is one OF boE keep
| ing his car on the road and avoiding
what may be in the way. Many oi
| us have thought without careful rea-
soning that the best way to succeed
was for all cars to dim lights.
The secret of good driving at night
is not asking the other fellow to din
his lights but to use strong lights
