"Properly adjusted headlights
nre of vital importance to snfety
In night driving," says the nation
al motoring body, "and the signifi
cant figures shown by previous
testa rovoal that motor car owners
are careless of this feature of
safety or are not familiar with the
importance of this feature of their
car."
Somo of the tests upon which
tho A. A. A. bases Us estimate of
deficient headlights are as follows:
l Tests In the District of Columbia
showed that lights on only 237
cars out of 4.5D1 examined were In
compliance with the law and lor
rectly adjusted.

only 22 out of 400 enrs tested had

proper lights and immediately
launched a seaiihing investigation
for a much needed basis for cor
rect headlamps.
In Norfolk, Virginia, only Bix out
of 3,000 cars tested had lights
complying with safety regulations.
At Scranton, Pa., the Lackawnn
na Motor Club found only 14 out of
400 cars tested to have "safety
lights."
In a certain eastern city, tho
traffic bureau, io-operatlng with
the A. A. A. motor club, found only
124 out of 5,071 cars tested to have
properly adjusted lights. - (
The A. A. A. points out that the
peak of automobile accidents oc
lur about 5:30 o'clock in the eve
ning, when traffic Is heaviest. Dur
ing the period, from Into Novem
ber until April, drivers nre obliged
lo burn their lamps at that hour
and. unquestionably, badly adjust
ed lights cause many collisions nnd
nccldents. Another critical time
for nccldents is about 7:30 in the
evening, when tho peak of tho
theater traffic is awheel.
Tho A, A. A. statement con
tinues: "It never occurs to the nvoraire
motorist that nsldo from the safety
in properly, adjusted headlights
there is a factor of economy re
sulting from a saving in the vari
ous units of the I nr. . It headlights
are out of focus, they fail to Il
luminate the path ahead to good
advantage and the owner may re
sort to the use of additional light
ing devices, which In cold weather
may help to overload the battery.
There is, In addition, mulh slowing
down and change In the car speed
where headlights glare and ap
proaching drivers aro in danger of
colliding. This occasions excessive
uso of brakes, throttle nnd steer
ing wheel.
"The first step is to learn to"
cheik up on the adjustment of the I
headlights at least once a month
fnore often if the car is kept In
public garages, where it may be
pushed around by headlights. The ;
vrocess need not be complicated,
and application of ony traffic
Bureau or A. A. A. motor club, will
give the motorist information as
to method of adjustment and he
will find a willingness to co-operate
In having the lltrhts tested."
