Lamps Must Comply

Motorists in Sank Centre and

they buy new cars, will hereafter
be able to know definitely that the
lighting equipment complies with
the Minnesota law and gives good
illumination without glare. Those
who buy lamps for replacement, or
spot lights and other auxiliary
driving lamps, will also have the
same assurance, for hereafter no
lighting devices may be sold unless
they conform to state standards.
Under a section of the 1927
state traffic act, standards have
been established by the Minnesota
Highway department, and labor
atory has been equipped at the
University of Minnesota at which
samples of ali lamps offered for
sale must be tested. The law
makes it misdemeanor to sell or
offer for sale, any headlamp, aux
iliary driving lamp, rear lamp, un-
less it is approved by the depart

Undoubtedly many, and possib.
ly all, of the lamps sold as stand

comply with the present standards,
but hereafter the customer will
know definitely if they do. The

department is now in q position
to make the tests and give its APP
prevail, and Commissioner c.. M.
Babcock feels that there is no
reason now why any lamps should
be sold without the approval re-
quired by law.
While many lamps sold in the
past come up to present standards,
many do not. Car owners who
have any doubt about their lamps
may have them tested at one Of the
official adjusting stations, of which
there are now more than 100 in
the state. In many cases a simple
adjustment will greatly improve
the efficiency of the lamps as well
as doing away with the glare.
Lamps which do not illuminate the
road and binding lamps are both
causes of frequent accidents.
Approved types of lamps should
also be tested occasionally, as they
may get out of adjustment if the
tenders are bumped when parking,
or otherwise roughly handled.
The Minnesota law does not re-
quire lining lights. The aim is to
get adequate light on the road
ahead of the car without throwing
bright beam of light into the eyes
of approaching drivers.
