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 watch ing the road. The oncoming glare at tracted our eye and we signaled for the driver to dim. Either he did or he didn't and we thought him either courteous or discourteous. With our attention focused on approaching lights, it has been natural for us to become blinded, to wish that the driver would turn down so that we might pass with our own lights dimmed, and to believe that dimming was the only solution for the problem of driv- ing 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 horse-drawn vehicle or a pedestrian in his path. He cannot see because 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 it is recognized that there is more harm done in driving with 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 tall cars using bright lights than it is 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 turn in the road, is coming from behind some obstruction or is approaching another vehicle or pedestrian from the rear. Noise may drown the sound of horn, but what is there that can obliterate the warn ing signal of a pair of bright head lights? . '
 On hills, climbing up or going down, over narrow roads, through wooded country and thickly populated districts, the driver needs all the light he can possibly have, even if he is only moving at an ordinary speed. His task is one of both keeping his car on the road and avoiding what may be in the way. Many of us have thought without careful reasoning 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 dim his lights but to use strong lights properly focused. When lights are not focused properly and send theil rays crosswise of the road or up ir the air, the driver is not only deprived of good lights but also becomes g nuisance to the motorist approaching from the opposite direction.

When the spotlight is used on the windshield post its rays should be focused to strike the road imlnedi- ately in front of the right-hand fend- CT. In any other position it fails 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 a 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 a car with bright lights just try this experiment. Don't signal for the other car driver to dim his lights. Let them tell you the course of his car but don't look di- rectly 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 ac- quire 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 direct 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 outskirts of towns and cities. Good roads mean better walks for them and it is not at all uncommon to find many of them out at night, enjoying the air, perhaps wheeling baby carriages or walking with children 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 approach 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 re- call 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 we'll '; 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 ap- breaches you.
 It is not question of reducing the strength of headlights so much as it is one of making the best use of stronger light properly focused.

does not become finally effective till July 1 of this year. Known as the Condon law, this act has been oper- ating since August of last year.
 According to report furnished At torney Howard D. Brown, head of the Detroit Automobile Clubs legal department, by Charles J.. DeLand, Secretary of State, numerous discov- cries of stolen cars are being made by the Department of State.
 J. M. Haller ,head of the certifi- cate of title division, has cited some recent cases for the automobile club attorney which are interesting. Among them were the following:
 A Dodge Brothers sedan stolen in Detroit in April, 1921, was recov- cred in February, 1922, through cer- tificate of title application from a party in Durand, Mich. From the time it had been stolen the car passed through the hands of nine owners.
 A Ford touring car stolen in De- troit April 10, 1922, was recovered May 6, 1922, through a title applica- tion, after two parties had owned it.
 Another Ford touring car, stolen in Saginaw in 1921, was recovered in the same city May 5, after having passed to three owners.
 Still another Ford stolen in Detroit in December, 1921, was recovered May 10, after passing through hands of two owners.
 i "There is not week that at least one stolen car is not recovered through the certificate of title di- vision,' Mr. Haller said.
 i Prospective motor vehicle purchas- CTS should use all the precaution pos sible in buying used cars," MT. Haller continued. "They should first deter mine whether. or not title has been issued, and if so, they should demand a properly assigned title, the descrip- tion in this title to compare in every respect with the motor vehicle pur- chased.
 Careless handling of certificates of title by the motor vehicle owner or dealer only tends to cause consider able annoyance and inconvenience for them, resulting in many cases in serious difficulties.
 Motor vehicle owners and dealers who live up to the requirements of the title law experience no difficulty in the selling or disposing of their cars, but where the titles have been neglected it often happens that the dealer is put to unnecessary expense and time in strengthening out matters that have become tangled through the neglect of having the title properly assigned and license plates trans ferred."
 The Detroit Automobile Club coop eration with those working to have a certificate of title law put in, effect in Michigan, and the bill fostered by Senator George M. Condon of Detroit, and now a law, was the result. Off, ficials of the Automobile Club and State authorities are confident that the law will have wonderful effect in checking automobile thefts after July, when every owner of a vehile must have a State title for his car

the cost was a trifle more but he wanted that way and so it was. 1 hope some one does not come along and ask for an ivory or mahogany fin ish, or something like that because It is better to use the regular black, acid resisting paint that comes from the factory" s

Mental Clinic Urged
To Cure Husbands
of Flirting

KANSAS CITY, Kan, April
19.--If your husband casts fur
tive glances at the friendly
little blonde across the street,
don't
See a lawyer, nor
HE away to the divorce
court.
Instead, take the poor, sick
man to a mental clinic.
Marital discord, in many
cases, can be settled better by
a psychiatrist than a judge, ac-
cording to DIR. Karl A. Hem
ninger, president of the Kansas
Mental Hygienic Society, who
was a speaker yesterday at the
first annual United States Pub
lie Health Institute being held
here.
The psychiatrist can point
out to the erring husband or
wife how bad mental habits are
wrecking marital felicity and
can suggest methods of cure.
Children who continually lie and
steal and girls who are "crazy
about the boys" shouldn't be
spanked, but should be brought
to the mental clinic to have
their minds diagnosed.

HARDING MAPS
OUT PROGRAM
FORCONGRESS
confers With Capitol Leaders
on Legislation for Present
Session.
BY j. BART CAMPBELL,
International News Service.


President Harding was still en-
gagged today In series of personal
conferences with Republican sena'
tors and Congressman, which are ex'
pected TO break the legislative log
jam confronting Congress.
1t was believed that legislative
program would be worked out which
would pei NIT the passage at this ses,
sion of the ship subsidy bill, as well
as of the tariff and soldiers bonus
measures.
Doubt was expressed, however, by
Republican leaders IL the ship sub
sidy could be taken care of without
the session dragging well into the
summer. Considerable opposition
has developed to IL among both Re
publican and Democratic Senators,
II was stated, but the President was
said to have agreed with Chairman
Lasker, of the Shipping Board, that
ship subsidy legislation must DC
enacted at this session IL the Ameri-
can merchant marine is ito be pre-
served.
Senator McNary of Oregon was
among the Republican leaders who
called at the White House today TO
discuss with the President the posi-
bility of the $3.50. 100000 reclamation
bill being pressed for final action at
this session by the Administration
forces. McNary. chairman OF the
Senate Reclamation Committee, and
author of the bill, has the backing OF
other Western Senators in his opin-
ion that the reclamation projects
contemplated by the measure ought
10 be carried out without further
delay.
Senator Capper of Kansas, chaic,
man OF the Senate agricultural
bloc" is equally insistent that the
so-called farmers hills still pending
before the Senate be enacted before
the end of this session.
A substantial reduction In the
present freight rates on farm prod
ucts, as recommended by the joint
Congressional Commissioned OF Agri'
cultural Inquiry, is but part of the
legislation which both Capper and
McNary, as leaders of the Senate
agricultural bloc" are demanding
immediate action upon.
The army and navy appropriation
bills, about which the House has
raised such a ruction, are yet TO be
passed by the Senate, while a mum
