NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION MEMBER
SAFE ROAD LIGHTING
OF THE NEXT DECADE
Cure for Glare Seen in Permanent
Road Lights.

"Legislate against the glaring head
light fiend," says the motor1st. But
legislation doesn't cure the evils OF
glare, mainly because the law which
cuts down the glare so it is safe" also
cuts down the light so much that its
use is unsafe.
Comparatively speaking, glareless
lights can be, and are made, but their
use requires a scientific adjustment Oh
the lens, reflector and lamp, each to
each and the whole to the running
plane of the car Such an adjustment
does not remain permanent; variations
in tire pressure alter it, and jars, Jolts
and looseness of parts alter the rela-
tions of the lamp ana reflector.
For the present, better designs OF
lenses, greater strictness in regula-
tions as to tilt of headlights, and new
er and better designs of headlights
must be depended upon to minimize
if not to cure the evil. But IN the
future. the complete cure will come IN
lighted highways.
A hundred years ago cities were
unlighted, or, if lighted at all, were
very poorly Illuminated. In thousands
of small towns today the street lamps
are so few and far between that tne
neighbor pays his evening Vlslt equip
ped with a lantern. Yet our cities are
cities are we'll lighted; so well nght-
ed that the glare" trouble of head
lights is easily solved by forblddlng'
in cities, any but signal headlghts'
Exactly as the Post Office Depart
ment maintains beacOns to guide us
mail fiiers at night, so will the Natloh-
al Government eventually light It's ma
tional highways at night. With tne
volume of traffic which will lnevltaply
flow over national highways between
great centers, it will be more econom-
ical to light them from the side than
to permit the motorist to light ms
own section of the road with an IL
Elimination which causes accidents.
Milford chronicle., 1923-09-21

Renewal of it's annual safety con-
tests, in which $500 will be given
away in prizes, has been announced
by the Highway Education Board, at
Washington, D. c.
Training children in habits of high
way safety is the principal task of the
1925 safety campaign, il is said, but
through the children it is hoped that
the principles of traffic regulation and
safety education will be impressed
upon adults, both pedestrians and dri-
Vers alike.
The third annual safety campaign
takes the form of two contests, one
among elementary school pupils, and
another among elementary school tea
chers. approximately five hundred
state and national prizes are to be
given for the best essays and lessons
written. The prizes offered are the
gifts of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, which is desir-
ious of reducing the number of acci-
dents and fatalities due to traffic mis-
haps.
In the two previous years approx
mately 100000 pupils and $4,000 tea
chers have participated each autumn.
It is believed by Board officials that
the cumulative effect of these con-
tests, and the increasing attention
given to safety education will result in
even a greaet number of participants
this year.
The subject of the essays which chill
dren are invited to write is Highway
Safety Habits 1 Should Learn" Es-
says, as last year, are not to exceed
five hundred words in length. Those
eligible are pupils of the fifth, SIXTH
seventh and eighth grades, who are
not more than fourteen years of age.
