Withdrawn by the national board.
DIR. Morrill, said that it has been
necessary to discontinue the school
of nursing and to rely entirely on
full-time graduate nurses for gen.
eral duty.
This represents an addition to the
current operating budget of about
$4,000 a Aear. Such a condition can
not continue Indefinitely. he empha

into more serious difficulties, so that

tives: Abandonment. abandonment of
the genealogical service and conVer-
sion into a purely obstetrical hospital;
radical restriction or complete aban-
donment OF charity service, or the
conversion of all service to strictly
pay service: large operating subsidy,
probably 100000 per year: increase OF
rates for Board of Charities patients
up to approximate cost largely in
creased facilities for private obstetri-

the Federal Government owns the hos

INJURIES DUE TO FALL.
Robbery Motive Discounted in Case

fallen and struck his head against

The detectives said that the hatchet.
was used about the plant for various
sorts of work. They also declared
that the investigation convinced them
that Bennett, who had been working
near a gas tap, had been overcome
by the fumes and fallen forward
striking his head against pile of
bricks. The item clinchinS the
theory was the fact that approximate

the name as Burnett. which was the

EXPERT DESCRIBES
FUTURE HEADLIGHT
viii Give Range Without
GIare-Dimming to Go,
Scientist Holds.

Range without glare and proper ad-
3ustment without fitting, dimming or
any other form of manual operation
should characterize the headlights of
the future, in the opinion of Walter
D'Atcy Ryan, director of the General
Electric Co. laboratories at Schenec
tady, who discusses their development
in the Journal of the Society of Auto
motive Engineers.
Until such units are widely in use"
writes Mr.. Ryan, I'VE should use
every possible means to bring about
the equipping of new headlights and
those in service with any meritoriouS
feature that will assist in taking the
curse out of night driving. l believe
the two-hlament lamp, if put into use
rapidly and extensively will do much
TO improve the situation. The results
obtained with it are vastly superior to
dimming and most likely will bring
about the repeal of dimming laws in
the few States in which they are now
in force.
Visibility Is Limited.
Improper distribution of the light
on the roadway, irrespective of the
power of the light. is responsible for
large percentage of accidents. Auto
ddJuSlSIS are u6I)I GSSdIlS lttG
headlights to accomplish minimum
glare. Such adjustments mean that
the most intense light strikes the road
comparatively near the car. thereby
diminishing the visibility at long
range.
Tests demonstrate clearly that if
we are to have range without glare
we must abandon retieCtors of the
parabolic type and others of similar
characteristics. A tendency has exist
eu in the last few years to produce
a 'hot-spot,' that is, a small central
area of very high Candlepower, for
high-Speed driving. Unless this hot
spot is projected near the horizontal,
where it would produce binding glare.
1t is of no value, and if turned down
so as to minimize the glare and come
within the legal requirements. it pro-
duceS a new source of dangerous glare
from the oilpolshed road surface and
is especially pernicious on wet nights.
When driving in fog. if strong light
rays are thrown above the horizontal
they are reflected from the fog par
ticles intervening between the driver
and the point he is trying to see and
Evening star., 1926-04-25

the best the driver can do Is to feel
his way along.
THE remedy is to eliminate all high
power reflected rays above the line of
vision and at the same time to supply
sufficient side and local illumination so
that, no matter how dense the fog is,
he will always know his exact position
on the road.

throw sufficient light on the radiator,
tenders and wheels. SO that, in case
one light fails, the automobile cannot
be mistaken for a motor cycle. 1t
should also illuminate the wheels and
running board of the approaching
car at q distance of at least 200 feet
without projecting any direct rays into
Evening star., 1926-04-25

1T is desirable that the main beam

depth so as to carry q gradually di-

Unparalleled Sales Regea/
6adtzZac's cSweebrMg Supremacy

The whole world knows there canbe
but one Cadillac. The whole world,
out of its Cadillac experience, wei
comes each new Cadillac as the fin
ished development of the worlds
standard in motor Car engineering
and manufacturing.
That, in paragraph, tells why the
sales-success of the new, oo-degree,
eight-cylinder Cadillac is sweeping
beyond all precedent in Cadillac his
tory, and in the history of all cars
comparable in quality and price.
Cadillac sentiment is so strong and
compelling that it causes people
Evening star., 1926-04-25

to turn away from the lesser, and
toward Cadillac, time after time
and year after year.
More than $4,000 new, oo-degree,
eight-cylinder Cadillacs are mag
nihcently proving themselves In
the service of delighted owners to
be the finest product ever issued
from these plants.
But they do more than that, for
they demonstrate that Cadillac
stands today, as it has stood for
years, the hub around which the
motor car industry turns-a car
without an equal andwithout a rival.
Evening star., 1926-04-25

The difference between the New-Day Jewett
and all other cars is not difference in size or in
price-but difference in design. Cars may
cost three times as much as the New-Day Jewett
or be three times as large-and yet they sim
ply cannot negotiate traffic or cope with modern
driving conditions as easily or surely or safely as
this remarkable "New-Day" car.
An actual demonstration you at the
wheel-wll quickly prove the many exclusive
superiorities of this truly remarkable Car. Since
1t will cost you nothng-and place you under
no obligation you let us arrange such q

1.-THE NONSTOP TJIGHTr

The pilot of the PN-9 which made the famous flight to Hawaii is the actual pilot of the seaplane fea- tured in "The Nonstop Flight, now being presented at the Lyceum. This Emory Johnson production is an epic of the air and its romance is worked in by the finding, on a desert isle. of a beautiful white girl who never before had seen a white man. The picture Is filled with thrills, not the least of which Is the mutlny of Chinese crew aboard ship.
 Fifth Avenue" with Marguerite De IaMotte in the title role and supported by Allan Forrest, is the companion drama. This is a top notch society picture of New York and derives its name from the great fashion spectacles which are synon- ymous with Fifth avenue.
 "The Red Streak" serial also is being shown at this theater.
