many counties not yet represented.
Among those recently licensed are the
j. A. Rothman Garage in this city.
While it is not compulsory to have
your lights tested at an official station,
it is good safeguard to do So Cor
rectly adjusted lights, by giving better
Illumination on the road, make night
driving safer and more pleasant.
Furthermore it is courtesy which
you owe your fellow motorists. It may
also save you the trouble of appear
ing in police court, for even if your
lights were o. K. once upon time,
a bump on your tenders while park
ing may have spoiled the adjustment,
and police in some communities are
active in the campaign against glar-
ing lights.
If there is no station close by, head
lamps may be tested by stopping on a
level road some night when there is a
slight fog If any part of the main
beam of lights points upward, your
lights need adjusting. Many unli-
censed garages can make tests and
adjustments, but only licensed stations
can issue the certificate which is re-
quired in a defense against charge
of driving with glaring lights.

Remus killed his wife, Imogene,
