Motorists Urged
To Dispose of Waste
' While It Is still a trifle -too early In
the season for the motoring public to
take to the road and enjoy week-end
tours and picnSc parties In the many
attractive spots that are to be founi
In proximity to Portland and other
towns, it la not too. early to start a
little educational campaign among the
motorists, urging them to exercise
some care in the matter of disposing
of their rubbish after the . picnic
luncheons. ;
For many season past it has been
a common practice of the automobile
picnickers to find some attractive spot
for a pleasant outing: .'and on ending
the picnic, leave, the place with a mass
of, rubbish and .papers' scattered about
and really spoiling lr for the next mo
toring party that happened along the
following day or week.
There is nothing that takes the Joy
out of outdoor life more quickly than
being forced tv sit around In a place
that has been littered with a mass of
filth and papers left by some preceding
party.- It only takes a little care dur
ing the progress of a picnic lunch to
keep the rubbish, together and later
dispose of It in some place where a
subsequent party is not likely to rest.
The motoring public as a rule is an
Intelligent class and the shortcomings
In the matter of cleaning up after a
picnic is largely due to thoughtless
ness and not to the lack of knowledgs
of the ordinary rules of propriety.
Let every motorist, when he starts
out. this year for hfis outings, remem
ber to tidy up' his picnic place on leav
ing and It will prove of mutual benefit
to the entire motoring fraternitv.
There can be no pleasanter feeling
than to know- that when you find an
attractive resting spot you can feel as
sured it is not a mass of debris left
by some selflish motorist who- found
the place earlier In the season.

Nation-Wide Movement Is
Under Way to Make Mo
toring at Night" Safe.
A hation-wlde movement is under
way to make motoring at night safe.
The big danger in night motoring is
due, of course, to headlights of faulty
design. Ordinary headlights are either
so bright that they blind the approach
ing motorist and pedestrian or so weak
that the driver cannot see ahead.
Many cities and states alreaJy have
strict dimmer laws; many are about to
pass similar laws. Portland is one ot
the Cities having such a law, but at
present the police department ts not
enforcing it as it should be. So far
during the month of March, no arrests
have been made for the violation of
glaring headlights, while it is a com
mon thing for the motorist to encoun
ter any number of violators at night
on the many highway throughout the
city.
A digest of the part regarding head
lights In section 32 of ordinance 32091,
an ordinance regulating street-traffic
in the city of Portland, Is as follows:
No operator of any motor vehicle
shall use a headlight unless It i so
shaded as not to blind or daxzle other
users of the highway or make it dif
ficult or unsafe for them to ride, drive
or walk thereon. Headlights of every
motor vehicle shall throw a sufficient
light ahead upon the roadway to re
veal any person, vehicle or substantial
object at a distance of at least 100
feet. All lights must be arranged so
that no portion of the reflected beam
of light, when measured at a point 60
feet ahead of the motor vehicle on a
level street surface, shall rise more
then 42 inches above the surface. Such
lights shall also give sufficient aide
luummation to indicate any. person,
vehicle or substantial obtect within 10
feet of the side of said motor vehicle
at a point 10 feet of more ahead of it.
AH motorists should strictly observe
this ordinance, for the police depart
ment expects to enforce It at an early'
date. Some motorists have tried to
solve the headlight problem by tilting
tne neaaiignts downward. Thl de
creases glare, but it does so at the ex
pense of the lights The light Is all
uumpea aireciry in rront of the car
where it is not needed, and the range
is. greatly reduced. - A really efficient
headlight should concentrate your
light in a long. Intense beam, never
more than 42 inches above the road.
Many accidents are caused- by daz
zling neaaiignts and state and muni
cipal officials and automobile clubs
everywhere are working for safe and
sane neaaugnt laws, a federal no-
glare regulation is under consideration.
