Parting SPACE for visitors.

Rock Island, Dec. EDITOR The
Argus: Rock Island ought to give
some attention to the visiting auto
list. You'll observe, in coming into
the business section in the morning.
that most of the available parking
bpace is occupied by cars owned by
our own people. OF course they
ought to be taken care of, but we
should not overlook our friends
from the outlying districts who
come to US to do their trading. l
have known instances of farmers
driving in with their families, and
not finding parking space have
continued their journey to one OF
bur neighboring cities. l believe
that Market square ought to be re-
served for the cars Of non-residents.
1t is a situation that ought to be
looked into if we are to hold our
own with our neighboring cities in
providing convenences for visitors.

CONFLICT, :" WITH
PRISCILLA DEAN, IS
At STRAND TUESDAY

Priscilla Deans latest. and by far
her most sensational success, Con
flict' comes to the Strand for a
three days engagement starting
Tuesday.
The fame of Conflict" has reached
the city ahead of the production.
From the towns which have played
the picture the most flattering re-
ports come. The breath-t taking ac-
ton the titanic thrills-the soul
stirring story--the remarkable re-
mance-the terrific climaxes, and
Priscilla Deans dynamic personality
these are the points dwelled on at
length by all who have seen the fea-
ture.
1t is the concensus of opinion that
Conflict" is by far the most dan
gerous picture yet attempted. There
are thrills so vastly greater than
anything ever before brought to the
silver sheet as TO make them the very
last word in realism.
Before the publication Of Conflict"
it was claimed that the great ice jam
in Way Down East represented the
very ultimate in dangerous screen
procedure and exciting sequence.
And these very same reviewers
who reported Way Down East" in
this fashion are now frank to admit
that the log jam scene in Conflict"
is vastly superior. not only from the
point of sheer thrill--but from the
realism in execution to anything ever
seen on the screen. not excepting the
ice jam in the former picture.

BRITISH INVENT
NEW DEVICE FOR
LIGHT CONTROL

LONDON. Feb. 12.--An ingenious
contrivance to determine efficiency
Of automobile headlights and to
abolish their glare is being tried out
by the Royal Automobile club here.
Already satisfying results have
been obtained.
The apparatus is nothing more
than a black disc on which are ir-
regularly shaped areas crossed di-
agonally by white parallel lines.
To measure the intensity of driv-
er's headlights, the disc is carried
until the man at the wheel can dis
Germ any one of its lined areas. That,
IT has been shown, would be about
the distance at which this same driv-
er could see a man in a khaki
colored suit.
Men working on this problem of
headlight dazzle have discovered that
the irregular areas are more true in
testing drivers ability to view OBJ
jects ahead of him AT night than II
the areas were definite shaped
squares, circles or triangIes.
The reason for this, they say, is
that the human eye, trained to look
for a popular pattern. will believe II
sees that outline before ii actually
comes into view. For this reason this
strange design is chosen.
The disc is placed at several
heights and varying distances from
the car, to determine the strength OF
the headlights and their degree OF
conformity to the law.
Headlight glare is determined by
placing the disc at "A point six feet
TO one side of the automobile. 1t is
family illuminated by a small light
IN front. When the headlights are
out, the faint light makes the disc
visible to an approaching motorist.
With the headlights on. the dazzling
beam will make the disc invisible
for a certain distance ahead of the
car
An observer walks toward the car
until, out OF the dazzling lights. he
can see the disc behind. The dis
tance between this point and the car
is set down as the dazzling range
of the headlights.
This is the point ahead OF the car
where an approaching driver will re-
gain his vision. The greater this dis
tance, the higher is the rating which
the headlights receive.
Arizona republican., 1922-02-12

Among the scenes which will keep
everyone sitting breathlessly with
eyes glued to the screen, are to be
named the dynamiting of the great
dam, and the consequent letting
loose of thousands of big logs. the
onrushing of the mighty river the
battle of the lumber jacks. and the
inspiring scene wherein PriscH-
la Dean braves the danger of the
log janl-to jump madly from log TO
log-to rescue her unconscious lover
who is being borne steadily to the
falls-a certain and horrible death.
This scene alone will easily prove a
revelation TO every person who wit
nesses Conflict" and when the an
nouncement comes that the Strand

vance in prices. and will augment the
presentation through offering Allen
dale, the miracle Man." the engage
ment looms large as being one OF the
outstanding events of the coming

REPORTSD DODGE
HELD SECOND
PLACE IN 1921

Charles Macarthur in speaking OF
the relative positions of the various
car manufacturers in point of pro :
duction and sales during the past
year. stated that present reports IN
dicate that no changes occurred last
year in the positions of the two iead-
ing automobile manufacturers, con-
siderinr the total production of cars
As was the case IN 1920. Ford ranked
first and Dodge Brothers second.
The total number of passenger cars
built during the year. according 10 an
estimate published recently by the
Wall Street Journal, was 1,535,O0O, as
compared with 1.SS3,150 for 1920.
Commenting on the general condi-
ton OF the automotive industry, just
prior to the close of the year, the
Boston News Bureau, states McAr-
thur. published the following, when
was subsequently confirmed py
Dodge Brothers:
Because it is privately owned
relatively little in the way OF flgures
ever appears in print concerning ihe
activity Of the Dodge Brothers motor
organization Of Detroit. Consequently
it's splendid and emphatic expansion
i'm production this year and the main
fenance even in recent weeks OF q
hirh output. which makes it one OF
the conspicuous bright spots OF the
industry, are not generally known
outside Of the trade.
dodge Brothers In the third quar- :
ter OF this year ranked next to Ford
among the worlds automobile pro-
ducers. with a monthly shipment re-
cord Of better than 11,000 cars TINS
average Is nearly NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
several hundred cars-in october, an
unusual achievement in this year OF
unsettlement and competition in the
motor industry.
considering that production the
first quarter of the year was down 10
5000 cars, less than one eleventh OF
the same quarter in 1920, and less
than any single months subsequent
production, that vitality that is Dodge
Brothers is apparent. The company
should end the year with q final out Z
put Of between 81 900 and $4,000 cars
and probably hold its position as the
leader of the industry next to Ford.
The heritage left by the Dodge Broth
ers is thus being splendidly upheld by
the present management"
1t is understood that Dodge Broth
ers finished the year with total pro-
duction Of 92,476 cars, which is over
II, 900 cars greater production than
the next nearest competitor, not In :
Guiding Ford. thereby making good
the News Bureaus prediction OF
Dodge Brothers continued leadership.
