road INDEPENDENTLY to the right
where 1t is needed most.
In some cases cars are now
equipped with devices which tilt
the headlight bulbs or reflectors
so that the rays Of light are thrown
down to the ground when another
machine is approaching. On the
driver, however, depends the effec-
tiveness of these. II he fails to be
courteous the glare continues and
trouble is brewing.
There are quite q number Of ways
Of obtaining good lighting without
endangering other drivers, and the
best combination seems to be the
fixed spotlight to illuminate the
right Of the road and the ''cour-
tesy- light" (which some cars are
now using) to throw light backward
to the left of the road, for the bene-
tit of the man passing either way.
1t is quite worth while experiment.

necticut has already considered this
plan, particularly since discovering
that one of it's newest roads will
soon be Inadequate for day MS well
as night travel.
A number Of city boulevards are
the one-way variety, and in view
OF the numerous advantages of such
an arrangement 1t is safe to predict
that the one-way highway will begin
to appear in a very short time. With
1t will come an end to the headlight
problem, with no restrictions as to
candlepower, type Of lens or number
Of lights while travelling over such
roads. In cities lighting win be re-
stricted to DINNERS, while on country
and side roads which would still be
the one-way variety all the improved
lighting devices AMI lenses now in
use, or being advocated, would lie
seen. Lighting conditions on country
roads would, therefore, be greatly
improved and main highway con-
ditions would be entirely remedied.
Receiving Attention.
The temporary, or secondary, plans
for Improvement are equally as in
teresting as the eventual ona.way
highway development. The matter
Of properly lighting the road before
an automobile is receiving consider
able attention, and II improvements
become as marked as they have
been in engine design we may expect
Interesting changes. For instance,
the spotlight offers a number of
possibilities for safety. With a
spotlight playing upon the side Of
the road about twenty feet ahead
Of the car excellent illumination Is
afforded without binding approach
ing drivers, except momentarily as
cars approach around curves.
The trouble with the spotlight has
been that drivers have abused its
real purpose by allowing it to play
all over the road, and, frequently,
directly into the lace of the an.
preaching driver. This practice
could be eliminated by a provision
In the lighting laws requiring the
use Of spotlights which can only
play in one set direction unless re-
moved from their bracket for the
purpose of reading road signs or
as trouble lamp.
Another advance in the direction
Of obtaining better road illumina-
ton without glare is seen in a new
device which consists of two small
spotlights set to play upon the right
Of the road. They are designed
so that light thrown to the left is
greatly minimized. and being at
tached to the car below the head
lights the rays are low enough so
ais not to strike the eyes Of an ap-
preaching driver. /. An advantage Of
this device is that when approach
ing another car the driver can
simply switch out his headlights
and substitute the pair Of spot,
lights, thus preventing binding of
the other man without sacrificing

Some idea Of the growth of motor

Of the work done by a single unit

The huge amount Of freight car.

Many believe that IL automobile
registrations continue to increase
at the present rate the time is
coming when many Of the two-way
highways will be able to stand
traffic only in one direction, the
situation being the same as we
have in the narrow streets OF our
congested cities, only on vastly
larger scale. II there were no other
arguments in favor Of the one-way
highway one cannot help but APP
preciate its direct relation to the
lighting problem. Thousands of
cars could proceed along high.
way Of this sort at night, using
the brightest lights their batteries
would stand, but with never the
danger Of binding an oncoming
driver because there would be none.
Better Lighting Plan. +.
There has been some talk recently
Of Illuminating the main highways
from lamps attached to the tele.
graph poles so that 1t would not
be necessary for motorists to burn
more than DINNERS and a tail
hight. There are certain obstacles
to be overcome in q plan Of this
sort, but It is feasible enough from
an engineering standpoint. The
question Is: rs the plan neces-
sary?" If there was any assurance
that roads would always be the
two-way variety, some progressive
State might well afford to under
take the job, regardless Of the ex-
pense.
But such lighting plans are hardly
necessary owing to the fact that
by the time the main highways
would be equipped with lights they
would be inadequate for carrying
the volume of motor traffic. Be-
fore the work of installing highway
lamps would be half completed some
highway between important centers
would be designated as a one-way
thoroughfare, which would auto
ma tically render the road lamps
unnecessary since safety rather
than danger would result from ex,
travagant use Of automobile head.
better, with the result that head
light laws would become obsolete
and highway lamps would be
scrapped.
In almost every part Of the
country the secondary roads are be-
ing improved and arranged so as
to parallel as nearly as possible the
main highways. Paralleling the
Lincoln Highway in the East there
are roads which are even in better
condition than the main artery it.

roads of this type are being de.
