RepIacabIe Type Auto
Headlight Invented
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug 24.-The Auto
motive Safety Education has an
nounced a new type Of auto head
light which it said would be manu-
factured by all the headlight pro-
ducers.
When one of these lamps burns
out" the entire lamp will be re-
placed by a new one, and not by the
present method of inserting a new
bulb. The announced purpose is to
give the whole country a uniform
headlight system, in the interests Of
safety.
The replacable lamp comprises the
lens, reflector, the light and the
housing for them. Some of these
units" will use light bulbs, but
others will be built so that the entire
inclosed space is vacuum and the
light comes from naked filament,
without the usual bulb.
1t is claimed that they cannot get
out of adjustment and that every
one will be using the same two beam
system-a depressed beam for pass
ing and an elevated one for open
roads.

WnGIlF Inc Sec ". Nouio LincoH'
ond, If the country does get into a
war, will it be the patriotic, the
natural and the necessary thing to
continue in power the present ad-
ministration?
Hypothetical questions are usually
difficult to answer. There arise
usually a lot of corollaries which are
unforeseen. A couple of years ago,
the opinion was widely held that
this country would not permit itself
70 be drawn into another European
war, that it had had enough of that
kind Of thing in 1917-1918 and the
years thereafter when America was
accused of being a Shylock because
1t wanted our former allies to pay
their debts to the United States.
Even a year ago this feeling was
very strong. Neutrality laws had
been put on the books, designed to
make 1t doubly certain this country
should not be sucked into the whirl-
pool Of war.
Difficult to Stay Out.
Today however, the preponderance
Of opinion is that it would be i'm
possible for America to remain
either neutral or aloof in the event
Of war abroad. There are still, Of
course, those who insist that this is
not true, and among them are those
who have charged that the foreign
policy of the present administration
has been such as to push this coun-
try into an alliance with Great
Britain and France if war comes.
The Clarks, the Nyes, the Hiram
Johnsons, the Borahs belong to this
group, and before this country does
become involved. it is rather safe to
predict that all of them will be
found vigorously protesting.
If President Roosevelt takes this
country into European war, how
popular a move will it be? Will the
people elect him for a third term in
such event? In 1916, a Democratic
President was reelected on the
slogan He Kept Us Out of War"
though by narrow margin. What
will a European war do to American
industry today and to business gen.
orally? In recent weeks there has
been decided upturn in business,
it Is reported. If war comes, and
the props should be knocked from
under this better business move, it
will not help re-elect the President.
Or will a foreign war make for in
creased business after a temporary
slump, these are all questions which
the events alone will answer. 1t
seems quite clear, however, that an
outcrop Of war, even If the United
States also becomes involved, will
not necessarily slacken a drive to
turn back the President for a third
term.
Paramount Campaign Issue.
1t is quite certain, on the other
hand, that international war, if it
comes, will become a paramount
issue in the 1910 campaign here.
How far it will go towards obscuring
domestic issues is another question
A vast number of American voters
are anxious not to have this country
engage in a foreign war, particularly
if it is none of our making. If the
present administration takes
strong stand for American partici-
patton in such a war, it will face a
very considerable opposition.
President Roosevelt's attitude has
been that if this country showed it
self willing to take sides with the
European "democracies," the totali-
tartan governments woulo hesitate
to force the issue In other words.
his belligerent moves-so-called by
the Germans and the Italians in the
past-have all been directed, &C

French and British mobilization will
cause considerable alarm and hesi-

the people must yet be persuaded to
go to war. The outlook for peace
would seem to be better now that
French mobilization has begun.

of kindly advice when needed. was
honored at the school today in the

known, in the history of the District
system.
He was T. J. Jones, 70. of 2O9

custodian of the building Having
reached retirement age on April II,
after 43 years of service in the school
system, Mr.. Jones was leaving, in

body. numbering more than 2,4OO.

Mr.. Jones praised by Principal F. C.
Daniel and other faculty members
for his splendid record" After the
ceremony in the main auditorium
faculty members and students
streamed into Mr.. Jones' Office to
add their own personal farewells.
Tributes Pour In.
He received a check for S70-Sl for
each of his years-from faculty
members, a gold watch from the
custodial force of % which he has
supervised for years, large ami
versary cake from the domestic
science department., a framed photo
graph of himself and the custodial
staff, and numerous bouquets of
flowers.
Mr. Daniel. who has been princi-
pal of the school since 1911, little
longer than Mr. Jones connection
there, said this was the first service
ever held here honoring a member
of the custodian force.
But that's understandable" he
added There's no one like Mr..
Jones'"
His Office a Social Center.
Faculty members said he has been
more than one who has looked after
the upkeep of the building. He was
friend to all and his Office, a
room filled with supplies, an old
desk and equipment used in his
work, was the gathering place each
morning of considerable portion
of the male members of the faculty.
There they would discuss problems
of school, business conditions, poll
tics and international affairs
These meetings came to be known
as the Little Cabinet" Mr. Jones,
pausing in the midst of packing a
few belongings. said he was going
to miss these. as he was every one

Perpetual immunity Weighed
In Case of Embassy Ex-ButIer

The question of whether butler
formerly employed at the Japanese
Embassy is forever immune to
prosecution for traffic offenses
which occurred during his period
of employment there was being
studied today by Judge Walter j.
Casey.
The point arose yesterday in the
case of Wizard L. Paris, 20, of Ia
koma Park, Md, who recently
ended five years of service under the
late Ambassador Hirosi Saito.
Nj. Paris, charged with 10 Of
fenses, pleaded not guilty on
grounds of diplomatic immunity to
all except one, which occurred
March %, after he had left the EN-
bassy's. employ. There are eight
charges of parking in restricted
zones. one of speeding and one of
disobeying signal given by po-
lice onicer against him, occurring
1t various times since November,
1887.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Evening star., 1939-04-27

Milton D. Norman contended that,
since the defendant is no longer en-
ployed in the diplomats service, he
is now liable to prosecution. The
prosecutor also raised the point that
Mr. Paris is an American citizen and
is not in the same category as a SER
want who is a native of a foreign
country.
Mr.. Paris told the court that he
did much of the marketing for the
Embassy, took the Ambassador
children to school and also did
some personal shopping for Nine.
Saito. Sometimes his duties ne
cessitated violating minor trafic
regulations, he declared.
The former butler said he recently
returned from accompanying the
late Ambassador widow to the
West Coast, where she took q boat
for her native land.
Judge Casey will rule on the case
tomorrow.
