Tipping Headlights
Desirable Feature

Motorists who have been forced to
srope their way blindly against the
glare of automobile headlights will
welcome any changes in equipment
which make night driving safer for
all concerned.
That DINNERS have been ineffec-
tive is best shown by the fact that
some states have laws prohibiting
the dimming of headlights. On the
other hand, dimming at the approach
of another car is made compulsory
in other states.
Most effective and safe lighting is
provided on the new Buick models
introduced in August For country
driving, and when the road ahead
is clear, the beams from the new
Buick headlights send broad path
of light the entire width of the road
for long distance ahead.
At the approach of another car. tie
light may be directed downward
just in front of the car, but with
full strength of the beam retained,
furnishing adequate light for the
driver and at the same time taking
the glare of headlights from the
eyes of the approaching motorist.
This effect is obtained by shifting
the current in the lamps from one
filament to another. The control is
conveniently mounted on the steer
ing post under the drivers hand.
There is nothing to get out of order.
as there is nothing mechanical
about the controlled light. Reflec-
tors, bulbs, etc. are stationary. The
light is thrown downward by means
of especially designed lens built in
to the lamps.

Honest Criticism Again

Gradually honest and fearless
criticism seems to be creeping into
automobiledom to smash the ranks of
the publicity vendors and the super
advertisers who have enjoyed free
sway these many years. The critic
has played significant role in
moulding the affairs of the world
and many believe that his absence.
or exclusion from, the motor ranks
may have had much to do with the
disorder and confusion that exists
so frequently.
The critic has just stepped into the
limelight again. This time in the

Summing Up Congestion


Traction companies are pussy
figuring out the cost of congestion
with the obvious idea of soaring the
motorist into leaving his car at nome
in the garage
1t has been figured that congestion
costs Cincinnati 100000 a day.
Parking in the loop district of Chi
cage has been figured to cost the
city 100000 day In Philadelphia
congestion is said to cost 1853 taxi
cabs 9.5 per cent of their working
time or $3.50 day for each cab
While these figures necessarily are
estimated, few will doubt their APP
proximate accuracy. What would be
interesting, however, would be TO
learn what these cities gain by rea-
son of the congestion which the
automobile makes possible and how
much business would be lost IL cars
had to move so quickly and stop SO
briefly for parking that fewer peo-
pie could do business with the mer-
chants of the community.
If congestion is such costly ar
fair and such business loss why 90
merchants continue to pay hlgh
rentals for stores I'm the congested

LITTLE FEAR is FELT
Smithsonian Officials See Small Danger
of Losing Appropriations.

If the suit directed against teaching
in the public schools here of certain
scientific deductions which allegedly
contradict the literal words of the
Bible comes to trial, the fight will be
staged under the guns Of some of the
worlds foremost scientific institutions,
whose very life depends on those de-
ductions.
Some of these are supported by
direct Federal appropriation. Others,
like the Carnegie and Smithsonian In
stitutions and the National Academy
of Sciences, are not dependent on the
Government, but carry on their work
at their own expense.
Inquiry yesterday revealed that Of
fcials of such institutions as depend
on Government support have little
fear that an adverse decision would
affect their appropriations.
Would Hit Report.
The Smithsonian Institution receives
from Congress only an appropriation
for the publication of its annual re-
port, the rest of it's activities being

Smithson. The annual report, prob

tend to adhere to that phraseology in
all their future activities. The Scopes
case was narrowed by Judge Raulston
TO that one phrase of the Tennessee
law.
The evolutionists insist that II the
proposed national law should mention
the Bible it would become a religious
statute. This is their main contention
against the Tennessee law. They ad-
init that a State has the police pow
er" to regulate its schools, but claim
the antt-evolution law is a criminal
statute rather than a school law.
Will Extend Fight.
Furthermore, 1t is asserted that in
the control of what shall be taught in
the schools. it is not necessary to pass
separate and individual laws. The
curricula Of the State schools and
universities are not prescribed by law
The State authorities have the right
TO say what shall be taught, what
books shall be used. There is no law
against teaching that the world is fat,
no law against teaching that the sun
stands still. These things are con-
trolled by the State authorities. There
fore, it is argued. the anti-evolution
law is unnecessary in the States and
unnecessary in the Nation.
But fight is to be made to put 1t
on the statute books everywhere. The
interest of the country is aroused,
however, and legislation of this sort
Will be watched IN the future by the
adherents Of both schools of thought.
There will be no more anti-evolution
legislation by default, as was virtually
the case here in Tennessee.

LACK OF SCIENCE

DAYTON, Tenn, July 23.-Discuss-
ing what he said was "a charge of

Clarence Darrow during questioning
in the Scopes case, William Jennings

Darrow attempted to take advantage
of his lack of technical knowledge in

II am not acquainted with the de-
tails of any of the sciences to which
Mr.. Darrow referred" said Mr.. Bryan.

Condemnation Unfair.
1T is unfair, however, that one
should be condemned for lack of tech
nical knowledge of a few subjects if
he is acquainted with the subjects
that are more important and with
which all the people deal. If we can
trust the list given in a volume en-
titled American Men of Science there
are only about $500 persons in the
United States who deserve to be called
scientists.
IF we take II classes of scientists,
say, for instance, astronomists, bota-
nists, biologists, psychologists, geolo-
sNiSlS, SoOLOS~lSlSr pililOlCSlSISB stillll u
biologists, paleontologists, archeologists
and psychologists and estimate the
same number in each class we will
have a total of about 500 of these
