Glaring Headlights

And what has become of the old
fashioned driver who used to dim his
glaring headlights when passing an
other auto? Two or three years ago
huge sums of money were spent IN
buying new lenses which were sup
posed to prevent glare. Every car
had to be equipped with the new
lenses, and it certainly sounded like
sensible idea. 1t worked satisfac-
torily to degree, but the idea seems
to have been lost sight of. Head
lights are more glaring than ever,
and the custom of dimming has be-
come a lost art.
The way it is now, when two cars
pass at night, there is a certain space
during which the drivers can only
hope that they are on the road, or
that no obstacle is directly in front
of them. 1t seems to The News that
the laws regarding headlights should
be strictly enforced. There seems to
be no reason why the cars should not
be equipped with lights which will
not blind the driver of an approach
ing car.
And the courtesy of dimming might
also be revived with no harm result

Values ruled Somewhat cas- Ter today owing to less rains in south west but rather general light to heavy rains continued in east belt and outlook is for continuance of unsettled weather nearly all sections of the cotton region. Aside from the lowering of the grade of open cotton in the fields, opinions conflict as to eventual result of the wet weather, some correspondents claim rain to be injurious, while others con- tend will probably be more beneficial than otherwise by improving the staple of cotton still in the making, perhaps add to the yield in event of a late frost. In event of next Tuesdays re- port forecasting 12,s00,000 or more mar ket likely will decline, advance temor- arily if 12,600,000 or less. In addition to reporting on the indicated crop on September 23, the government will make report on the quantity of cotton gined to September 15. No comporatives are available for corresponding date last year but a private estimate places the probable amount ginned to September 15 last year at about 2,400,000 bales. To September 1, 95S,000 bales were ginned against 1,143,000 last year.. We think ginnings will be as large or larger than 2,400,000. Meanwhile, climatic condi- tions inland and evening un of accounts by shorts or longs in advance of bu- reau report will have to be reckoned with.-H. & B. Beer to J. F. Willing ham & Go.
