MOST HEADLIGHTS
POORLY ADJUSTED
Tests Demonstrate Nation
Has Only 5 Per Cent in
Proper Condition.

There are close to 22,000,000 motor
vehicles traversing the highways of the
Nation with improperly adjusted head
lights. 95 per cent of the entire number
registered in the United States while
only little over 100000, or S per
cent, fully meet the requirements of
what might be termed safety lights
This statement was issued yesterday
by national headquarters OF the Ameri-
can Automobile Association in connec-
tion with its Nationwide campaign for
testing of headlights. which Is being
carried on by the Loaf affiliated A. A. A
motor clubs, and follows careful study
of figures revealed in tests made by in
dividual clubs.
Properly adjusted headlights are OF
vital Importance TO safety in night driv-
ing" says the national motoring body
"and the significant figures shown by
previous tests reveal that motor car
owners are careless of this feature OF
safety or are not familiar with the i'm
portance of this feature Of their car"
Some of the tests upon which the

turns on the green light. A
marked reduction has been noteu
in the number of accidents.
In Cleveland there are 242 in
tersections controlled by the
lights. of which number street
cars operate through 100. Street
cars have neither been speeded up
nor slowed down. They run on
schedule and prevent accidents.
Other vehicular traffic as whole
has been speeded up, The lights
are co-ordinated. 1t was not
necessary to prohibit parking on
he lieht-controlled streets. The
iehtS have relieved 90 per cent Of
he police for other duties. Pc
lcstrianS obey the signals. Street
cars make their turns on the
Green signal. Accidents have
oecn leduced 90 per cent.
As in previous lists there is a
wide variation, but the fact that
accidents have been reduced
everywhere from which there has
SON . renort is the outstanding
feature. In the list this week
there are more cities reporting
where pedestrians obey the traffic
signals Why traffic is speeded mp
in some cities and slowed down
in others is hard to understand
Cleveland'S report is exceptionally
GOOD, and because of the Situa-
ton there William H. Harland,
traffic director. left last week for
tAat Ohio city to study the con-
ijtionS. He will return here prob

RcrortS have come in to the ef-
rcct that the route from Warren
on TO Lurav and New Market is
under construction and at the
present time undesirable for mo-
toring. The stretch is at times
entirely closed to traffic and at
other times so torn up that the
motoriSt can proceed only with
~reat difficulty. The best way at
present is through Middleburg and
Winchester. IT is relief to know

The Holland Tunnel.
The Holland Tunnel. the road
way under the Hudson, is already
proving popular. During the six
months that it has been opened
to the public a total of more than
three million and half vehicles
have forsaken the ferry boats for
the tunnel. The average daily

A. A. A. bases its estimate Of deficient
headlights are. as follows:
Tests In the District of Columbia
showed that lights on only 237 cars out
of 4,591 examined we're in compliance
with the law and correctly adjusted.
The Bureau of Standards found only
% out of 400 cars tested had proper
lights and Immediately launched a
searching investigation for much
needed basis for correct headlamps oo
In Norfolk Va, only six out Of 5000
cars tested had lights complying with
safety regulations.
At Scranton. Pa, the Lackawanna
Motor Club found only II out OF 400
cars tested to have safety lights"
In n certain Eastern city. the traffic
bureau, cooperating with the A. A. A.
motor club, found only 124 out of 5,07l
cars tested to have properly adjusted
lights.
Peak of Accidents.
The A. A. A. points out that the peak
Of automobile accidents occurs about
$50 in the evening" when traffic Is
heaviest During the period from late
November until April. drivers are obliged
to burn their lamps at that hour, and
unquestionably, badly adjusted lights
cause many collisions and accidents
Another critical time for accidents Is
about 7:30 in the evening. when the
peak of the theatcr traffic Is awheel.
The A. A. A. statement continues;
ut never occurs to the average motor
ist that aside from the safety. in prop
erly adjusted headlights there is factor
of economy resulting from saving In
the various units of the car. If head
lights are out of focus, they fail to IL
Illuminate the path ahead to good adj
vantage. and the owner may resort to
the use of additional lighting devices
which in cold weather may help to over
load the battery. There is. in addition
much slowing down and change in the
car speed where headlights glare, and

CONVICTED B00TLEGGER
ESCAPES FEDERAL JAIL
STROLLER eekly1


Charles Sinclair who began serv-
ing a tive years sentence in the Fed
eral jail at this place On December IS
after being convicted on four
counts Of violation Of the liquor laws.
terminated his period of retirement
sometime early Monday morning by
escaping through a hole by Is
inches cut in the bars of the iron
tank and a similar sized hole cut in
the window bars.
United States Marshal Albert
White is confident Sinclair had help
from the outside and that the win
dow bars were cut from the outside.
The hole in the tank. however. must
have been made BY Sinclair himself
and with saw struggled in to him.
As there were fragments of under
clothing still sticking to the ends of
the bars where they had been cut. it
is apparent that considerable squeez-
ing was necessary on the part of the
prisoner before he could get through
the small holes made
Sinclair was not missed until
shortly after noon of Monday. The
remaining inmates of the jail dis
claimed all knowledge of sinclair's
escape and of hearing the noise that
would, presumably. attend the saw
ing of the bars Marshal White be-
Iieyes it will be but a short time be
fore the escaped prisoner is appre-
hended and back in Jail
The general opinion around town
is that Sinclair. having been assisted
in his escape by outsiders. is being
secreted by them; that he is still
hidden away in town awaiting a
chance to get out later.
It will be remembered that the
bullet-punctured car in which Sin
clair was travelling the night of his
arrest by the Prohibition officers.
