Your Auto Lights

People are getting careless about
their automobile lights. Too numer-
Gus are the cars that drive with
only one light. When you notice
your lights are not working correct
ly it is your duty for the protection
of your life as we'll as others that it
is fixed Immediately.
Every automobile driver knows the
danger of troublesome lights and it
is only right that he keeps them in
good working order. Driving with
only one light not only gives you a
poorer vision of the road but puts
one half of your car in the pathway
of another auto that is passing. With
the roads as dusty as they are at
present it is hard enough to pass a
car at night that has lights abiding

The Auto License Money

Iowa gets about 100000 a year
from federal aid. To get this sum
we match it with SS,000,000 license
money. In the beginning of federal
aid the plan was to make the APP
preparation equal to the appropria-
ton of those states which chose to
take advantage of it. All this license
money goes into primary road fund.
The Iowa highway laws ought 10
be changed so that the approximately
one fourth of the motor vehicle lie
