BINDING HEADLIGHTS
AGAIN ISSUE IN FRANCE
Practice of Shutting OFF Lamps
When Passing Other Cars
Blamed for Crashes.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, August 27.-Blinding head
lights on automobiles are in an
issue in France.
The practice of shutting off the
lights when passing another car at
night is said to be responsible for
many accidents. Leaders in the drfv-
ing world suggest it would be safer
to let the lights glare rather than
drive in comparative darkness for two
or three seconds.
The law requires headlights to be
so directed as not TO blind other driv-
ers, but this has been found diff
cult. One solution has been to direct
the right light well to the right and
to shut off the left light only when
meeting other cars.
Prof. de LaperSonne of the Academy
of Medicine. noted expert on optics.
says most people suffer a sort of blind
ness for several seconds when the
brilliant headlights are shut off sud
denly, and during these seconds each
ears travels usually dozen or more
car lengths.

EVANS. SUCCESSOR
TOBE NAMED SOON
BurIineame and CornweI|
Mentioned for Promotion
if Pratt Is Shifted.

Amendment of successor to the
late Charles \. Evans. assistant super
intendent of police, probably VIII bt
made within the next two weeks, Il
was indicated Yesterday at the Dis
trct Building.
Mai. Edwin +. Hesse has not vel
made any recommendations To tho
commissioners for filing the vacancy
caused by the sudden death of Asst
Supt. Evans and it is not likely
that any action will be taker
until the return of Commissioner
Proctor l.. Dougherty should the
police superintendent do so i'll. the
meantime. Mr.. Dougherty is SEIZED
uled to return from his vacation IL
Massachusetts September s, and it is
believed that an appointment may be
made at the board meeting of the
Commissioners the following day.
Hesse Considering Candidates.
Mai. Hesse. however. is giving Sc
rious consideration to the various can
didates for the position, the filling of
which will result automatically in pro
motions all through the line. Spec
ulation is rife in the ranks of the po-
lice department as to the officers who
will win the Announcements.
Inspector Henry G.. Pratt, chief of
the central detective bureau. who also
holds the rank Of assistant superln-
tendent, may be detailed TO take over
the assignment of the late Asst. Supt.
Evans. which involves command over
the uniformed forces. Before being
detailed to head the detective bureau
Inspector Pratt and Asst. Supt. Evans
performed the same duties, only the
command of the uniformed forces was
divided between the two. Inspector
Pratt, therefore, is familiar with the
work.
The transfer of Inspector Pratt to
the administrative branch OF the de-
partment, however, would not mean
an advancement, as he already holds
the title and draws the salary of an
assistant superintendent. 1t would
merely be a change in work, which
Inspector Pratt is said to desire.
Two Mentioned for Post.
The shifting of Inspector Pratt to
the administrative offices would Gre
ate q vacancy in the office of the chief
of detectives. which. under the law,
must be given to a police captain.
Two captains have been mentioned for
this post, Guy T.. Burlingame of the
second precinct and Fred NJ. Corn
we'll of the tenth precinct. Both have
served at the central bureau for long
periods of time and are familiar with
the assignment.
The elevation of a captain to the
rank of inspector for assignment to
the detective bureau also would Gre
ate vacancy which undoubtedly
would be filed by the promotion of a
lieutenant. and so on down the line.
Maj. Hesse pointed out that there
are some very efficient detective ser
geants in the central bureau who
would make excellent heads of that
department, but that the law pre-
cludes them from consideration in con-
nection with the appointment of an
inspector.

The Foam

The foam is the child of the deep rolling wave,
The deep rolling wave that takes toll of the brave
But mother-Gke loves ev'ry spray, ev'ry splash
Of the foam that born when waves the winds lash
The foam is as playful as boys the shore,
Who wonder and glee as the breakers come Ger
And, just as they break, with a wild whoop of joy
Dash into the foam that just plays like boy.
And just as a boy spreads his spirit abroad,
The foam it diffuses itself in the flood,
In octopus patterns and MARBLE ween,
Which are slowly absorbed in sea-salty green.
The foam and the boy both get tired of play,
So each seeks his rest in his own little way,
The boy, with legs weary, on proud mothers knee,
The foam on the breast of the wave of the sea.

She crossed the street, looked around and
dered. George was nowhere in sight Her eyes
dlated in rowing circles about her She entered the

A languor spread over her, which soon left her
chilled, and accompanying it faint giddness.

herself near the lobby from where she had clear

faces. Several times she thought she saw George
approaching, but always a look of disappointment
would sweep her face.
She left the lobby and walked over to an adjoin-

the panel of glass. The dials pointed to onefifty.
She sighed regretful sob. "Geezez, almost hour

which was augmented by a recollection that the
clock where she worked was ten minutes slow. She
flushed and under the influence of this feeling,
