AUTO HEADLIGHTS MUST BE TESTED
Officials Suggest Check. Up on Intensity; Other
 Rules Outlined

The direction of light from auto mobile headlights is more important than ever since wartime dim-out regulations have been in effect, Mo ter Vehicles Commissioner John T. Mccarthy reminded drivers today.
 If the lights are tilted so that the aim is too high it not only has the usual effect of binding other driv- CTS, but in addition lessenS the effec- tiveness of obscuring the upper half of the lens, the commissioner point ed out.
 He suggested that lights also be checked for intensity. Without the upper half of the lens obscured, headlights must throw sufficien. light to show any person or object for distance of 200 feet. Reduced output is apt to indicate trouble in the wiring system, he said
 When operating in thickly-settled dim-out areas. the lowest of the low beam positions provided in the headlight system should be used 1 The aim of the light. before the up- per half of the lens is obscured should be the same as that norma! ly required by the Motor Vehicle Department at the inspection lanes Most garages are equipped to mako this check, Commissioner Mccarthy explained.

Orchestra Will GO on the Air Beginning Decem-

The Boston Symphony orchestra and its conductor will be on the air again. The day after Christ mas Saturday, Dec. 26) will in- augurate regular broadcasts of the Saturday evening concerts Of the famous orchestra in its auditorium in Symphony hall, Boston. The Boston Symphony orchestra has not been heard on the air for i've years. Radio history lists this as the first great orchestra to be heard on the air, its concerts having been broadcast as early as 1926. The broadcasts will be made by tin Blue Network and sent over 145 stations from 8:l5 to 9:l5. The ar rangement between the orchestra and the Blue Network company Is an unusual one, since 1t Will bring to the radio audience not only the concerts trough the remaining win ter season under Koussevitzky un- til May 1, but the Pop concerts, which will be given at Symphony hall for an expected season of ten weeks until early July, and the open-air concerts on the Charles River Esplanade, which will follow for about four weeks. Both ot thcse latter series will be under the d. rection of Arthur Fielder
 Conducting the Boston Symphony orchestra since 1924 when he first came to America, Serge Kousse- yitzlIy, its illustrious leader, has eX- ceeded in length the term of any previous conductor. One result oi the uninterrupted application of a single great leadership has been the quality of the Boston Symphony concerts, which in beauty of tone and brilliance of performance are often described as unique.
 The Boston Symphony orchestra was founded in 1881 by the late Major Henry L. Higginson, citi- zen of Boston who expended his for ture in making this the finest sym phony orchestra in the New World Conductors such as Wilhelm Ger icke, Arthur Nikisch and Karl MucE were active in bringing this aboui Serge Koussevitzky, once famous yirtuoso of the double bass, later pioneering conductor in the capitals of Europe, has found his fullesJ powers an conductor of the orches- tra which he has made his own Che has never conducted any other. or chestra in this country except for a guest appearance last season., The leaders untiring energy in the bringing forward of music new and old and the eloquence of his inter pretations have given the Boston orchestra an extraordinarily wide repertoire and have kept Its audi ences abreast of all important move ments in symphonic composition.
