DEALERS TO ISSUE
! AUTOL|GHTSO.K.
Will Inspect and Make Lamps
SompIy With Law at
Small Cost.

Because of an announcement by the
director of traffic that strict enforce
ment of the headlight regulations
would be inaugurated August l.,
Washington automobile dealers are
warning motorists to submit their
cars to proper inspection in order to
comply with the law.
Under an arrangement approved by
the director of traffic, the dealer men,
bers of the Washington Automotive
Trade Association are authorized to
make inspections of brakes. lights
and other equipment. After such in
spection, a certificate, which is recog-
nized by the traffic officials, is issued
TO the car owner, stating that at the
time the car left the service station
it was in proper adjustment with re-
spect to lights and brakes and in
compliance with the legal require
nents.
Traffic officers are being instructed
TO ask motorists for these certificates.
although the possession of one viii
not absolve the car owner from keep
ing his headlights in proper adjust
ment at all times. The certificate, 1t
is pointed out, is an indication that
the owner has evidenced good faith
and a desire TO live up to the new
regulations.
Most Lights Defective.
Thousands Of cars already have been
inspected by the dealers and they
have found that more than 75 per
cent of the cars inspected have de-
fective headlights. They are prepared
to inspect many more thousands of
cars within the next two weeks. The
inspection will be made by any mem
ber of the dealers organization, re-
gardless when or where the car was
purchased. A nominal fee is charged
for the issuance of the certificate.
THE glaring light problem is a
direct result of improperly adjusted
headlights" said Paul B. Lum, presi
Trade Association. If bright lights
are focused properly they need not
be binding.
Bright lights are not only desir-
able, but absolutely necessary on
dimly lighted streets, in order to avoid
accidents with pedestrians. The mo-
torist generally prefers to drive with
dim lights, provided other motorists
do likewise, because he is not subject
10 the binding lights of approaching
cars.
Bright Lights Needed.
Until, however, our streets are more
adequately lighted, bright headlights
will have to be used. To the extent
that bright lights throw a beam
which dazzles or blinds an approach
ing motorist, they are a menace.
The idea behind the headlight law
is to provide sufficient light for the
driver so that he may avoid accidents
with pedestrians, and at the same
time eliminate the glare. If motorists
would have their headlights adjusted
TO conform to the requirements as
set down in the new traffic regula-
tions, there would be less glare and
the streets would be safer for pedes-
trians and motorists alike"

Period Of Vibration.

The period of vibration of some new
motors has been taken out of the
high speed range and brought into
the lower ranges where it is seldom
noticed. 1t is around 10 miles an
hour for one high priced six-cylinder
car. There is, accordingly, much to
be gained by refraining from driving
too frequently at this speed in
high gear, just as one would be care
full to keep a car with higher critical
point above or below the period of
Vibra ton.
