and give the approval which is requir-
ed for all motor vehicle lighting de-
vices before they can be sold in the
state, Commissioner G. M. Babcock
announces.
A section of the highway traffic act
makes it unlawful for any person to
sell or offer for sale, either separately
or as part of the equipment of a
motor vehicle, any electric head lamp
or any auxiliary driving lamp, rear
lamp or signal lamp, unless it is of a
type which has been approved by the
commissioner.
The University of Minnesota is CO.
operating with the Highway depart
ment in making this law effective. A
laboratory for testing lamps intended
for sale in the state, has been estab-
lished and equipped in the electrical
division of the college of engineering.
Commissioner Babcock feels that there
Is now no reason why automobile
lighting devices should be sold without
the approval required by law.
The law requiring the approval of
the highway department, applies alike
to lamps which are sold as part of the
regular equipment of new automobiles
lamps, lenses and reflectors which are
sold for replacement purposes, and any
spotlights, signal lights, or auxiliary
driving lamp intended to be sold fol-
use as additional equipment of motor

News Service.
President j. F. Reed, of the Min

Paul for Kansas City Saturday night.
He will be accompanied by Thomas E.

Reports received at state headquar-

indicate that Minnesota will send
hundreds of farmers to Kansas City,
to join with farmers from all the agri-
cultural states of the midwest in a
protest which will be registered at the
Republican Convention against Presi-
dent Coolidge's veto of the McNary-
Haugen bill.
Minnesota, with Nebraska, Kansas,
Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and

'The State Highway department has
gone as far as it can under the law,
by establishing headlight testing sta
tons all over the state. This depart
ment has no power to enforce the law,
as that is left entirely to the local
peace officers. If they viii compel
all car owners who have dazzling lights
to have their lamps adjusted, it will
make night driving much safer for
everybody. But if there is not gen.
eral movement to enforce the law, the
new testing stations will be of little
value.
Enforcement of the law involves no
hardship on anyone. It does not
necessitate arrest and prosecution ex-
cept in case of persistent offenders.
Car owners who have dazzling lights
may be ordered to go to the nearest
officials light adjusting station, have
their lights tested and bring back the
, signed certificate This takes only a
little time and the expense is small.
Where there is no official adjust
ing station, station will be designated
whenever any garage is properly equip
ed to do the work and qualified lamp
adjuster employed"

vehicles.
Selling or offering any lamps for
sale which have not been approved is
misdemeanor.
Many automobile headlamps which
have been sold in the past do not COM
ply with present standards, and the
highway department recommends that
owners of cars which either have
lamps that give dazzling light, OF
lamps which do not properly illumin-
ate the road, should have them test
ed and if necessary, have them ad-
justed or repaired, at an official lamp
adjusting station. There are now more
than 100 of these stations throughout
the state.
Approved types of lamps will also
need occasional adjusting, as they may
get out of focus if the car is roughly
handled or bumped when parking.
