Formerly drivers were require, .o dim their lights only when meet :ng another car on wet, hard sur faetd highway. The new lav makes it m andatory to dim the lights when meeting any ear. In 1938, statistics compiled bj the secretary of state show, three persons were killed and at least 38 injumd in highway accidents ir which glaring lights were the prin cipal factor. One death this yeai has been attributed to the fact that a driver was blinded by th light of an approaching car, and at least nine persons have been in jured in such accidents. Stronger lights are allowed un der the new law. They should b< of sufficient intensity to revea distinctly vehicles, persons or ob jccts a t a distance of at least 35C Teel instead of 200 feet under the o'd law. The new act provide* that the main beam of light shal' riot project more than 42 inches above the road way at a distance of 75 feet ahead o f th: vehicle, y To do away with the excuse that the driver “didn’t know my bright* were on,” the law provides that a fttr January 1, 1940, cars equip ped with multiple beam headlight- must be equipped with a beam i n dicator which will illuminate when the bright lights are on. The indi- c:.toi must be conveniently located so thi driver can tell a t a glance whether his lights are dimmed or on full strength. 4 FOR SALE: 8-room house in Moro, full basem ent. Inquire Geo. G.

Moro Pharmacy , Two boys riding bicycles h'm e from a meeting one night, on. of them riding closs; to the center line of the street. His bicycle had no lights and as he started to turn th corner a t an intersection, ht crashed head-on with an .automo bile also m iking the turn. The cyclist was killed instantly. -This accident, said Earl Snell, secretary of state, was just on- of the seven bicycle-autonwhlle i'at- ;h+ics during the first six months if 1939 that illustrate the impor tance of proper equipment and afe practices in riding bicycles. . ‘‘It is becoming somewhat trite to emphasize the necessity for 'roper lights on bicycles and to irgc bicyclists to keep well to the 'right side of the street, hut such accidents prove that we must con tinue to stress these warnings in our campaign for traffic safety,” Mr. Snell said. Nearly 90 percent of the auto- aiobile-hicycle fatalities during the six-months period were persons between the ages of 5 and 24 years, but one elderly cyclist was killed when he was struck while trying to cross a street. “A second’s indecision on the Dari of. the bicycle rider or the driver can cause a fatal accident when the two meet at an intersec tion or when a bicycle rider at- t mpts to cross a busy street or highway,” Snell said. —“ For that -eason, very young children and riderly persons are advised to dis mount and walk while crossing h?avily traveled thoroughfares. But even while pushing a wheel, 'aution must be observed,... One v uth was killed recently when he was pushing his bicycle up a hill. He was walking on the right side af the road, going with traffic, and wait struck from behind by a car, whose driver was blinded by the glaring headlights of a car coming from the opposite direction.” Most youngsters enjoy coasting ’own hills but one girl met trage- ly in this manner this year. Coast- r g down a steep hill, the road bo ng covered with loose gravel, she washed into the side of a car that vms crossing the street a t the bottom of the hill. Bicycles, just ’s in the case of automobiles, must •lways be kpPt under complete con rol so that they can be stopped in i:me to avoid accidents, Snell em phasized, A frequent cause of automobile- bicycle crashes is the act of cut« ring across the path of traffic with •»ut first making sure the way is •oar, accident statistics compiled by the secretary of state reveal. One boy met death this year when fte r following behind a school bus till he came opposite the drive way to his home, he cut across the street and rode directly into the ath of an oncoming car. He was truck down before the driver • falized« there was a bicycle on he road. “When bicycles first became •»opular, they were considered some ’lung of a menace, frightening horses and endangering pedestrians bocause of their ‘speed’,” Snell said. In those days regulations were iesigned to protect others from the bicycles. With the coming of ■■utomobiles the situation changed and it is now necessary to protect he bicyclist from others. In some »‘aces certain traffic lanes are de igned for bicycles only, one city Sherman County Fair, Sept. 15-17 ' -----—r in France going so far as to mark off a section of the street for the use of cyclists.--------------- “Th? rapid increase in the num ber of bicycles now in use has brought the problem to the atten tion of society more vividly than even before and it is quite possible that future« engineering may con sider the safety of the bicycl? /rider. However, a t present, we must concentrate on educating those who ride bicycles to observe safe practices which will keep them out of accidents. “Observing traft?c rules as they apply to automobiles, riding in single file instead of two or more abreast, giving the pedestrians the right o f way at cross walks, equip« ping the wheel with proper front and rear lights and using caution and common sense at all times will cut down the death toll from auto mobile-bicycle accidents.” M o ther-W ell William, did you do anything besides e a t a t the Sunday school picnic?
