Own Lights May Fool
Driver Into Accident

State College, Pa, Sept. 7-AP-
An automobile drivers own
bright headlights can fool him into
accidents.
This finding about night driv-
ing risks, made in a new study lat
Iowa State College. was announced
to the American Psychological AS
sociation here today by DR.. A. r.
Lauer. The university set up some
photo-electric cells, which mea-
sured in terms of light just what
the drivers were able to discern.
They showed for example, the
changing brightness OF the beams
of its own headlights spreading out
in front of speeding car.
This brightness. on the pave.
ment six feet in front of the car,
was so foot-candles. At 90 feet in
front it was only half that bright
ness and at the safe stopping limit
ahead. 600 to 700 feet, only one
twelve hundredths of the closely
brightness.
Thus" said Dr. Lauer. "a driv-
er is often fooled by the high In
tensity OF his light near at hand
resulting in overdriving the safe
visible distance ahead"
The recent Iowa tests cast a
doubt. he said, on the safety of
reducing the size OF headlight
lenses, which he explained. is di-
rectly opposite to the needs of
human beings in good seeing.
New plans to build auto highways
better to fit the average drivers
eyes and mind. were outlines by
DR.. T. w. Forbes. Of the Yale bu-
reau for street traffic research.
The object. he said. is not to
find out what can the driver do,
but what will he do. This study
has shown that for reading a sign
400 feet ahead Of a hazard. narrow
letters must be at least 10 inches
tall Broad letters must be eight
inches tall
But il the sign is at the hazard
itself, the letters must be a foot
and-a-half tall

Thin Ghost of an Eaglet's Shadow

Europe never breaks with it's past. Always the dead hand of the horrors ana the glories of the past are on the contl- nent shoulder. A healthy sense of the past is good, but there is something morbid in the news from Germany that the remains of the Duke of Relchstadt, Napoleon's pitiful little son, have been removed from the gloomy old Capt. chin mauSoleum in Vienna and rebur1ed in Paris. In Heavens name, why thlS all-too-literal rustling of the dead bones of the past? What price has France palo that the dust of the bones of L'Alglon, the eaglet, should return to the Paris where he was born? Why should German au- thorities wish to encourage this symbol of French nationaliSnl? The more one thinks of it the madder it seems.
 This little son of Napoleon and Marie Louise of Austria had strange, ill., starred, unreal life which, short as 1t was, became the stuff of drama. He was born in the Tuileries Palace III Paris in 1911, when his father was mas ter of Europe and the most powerful man in the world. He was baby or two (though decked with the title, King of Rome) when his fathers empire fell. He was three during the Hundred Days,
  princeling when his father died on lonely St. Helena. His existence was used as pawn in European politics for 15 years, but the frail Duke himself led the life of lap-dog until he died at 21, probably the victim of pneumonia, though wild tales were not lacking that he had been poisoned.
 There has always been cult of Napo- -worshipers in France. In fact, It has been said that the return of the body of Napoleon to Paris provided the spirit ual background for establishment of the brummagem empire of Napoleon III. Perhaps, the Republic having fallen, Ma poleon-worship has resurrected itself in Trance; perhaps there are those who were willing to trade something to Hitler for this pitiful symbol.
 Unhappy and restless in life, the little Duke could not be allowed to sleep in his Hapsburg catacomb. A pawn while breath was in him, his very dust would seem now again to be used in some ob- scure move on the European checker board. Could they not have let you rest, Eaglet, who found no rest in life?
