GLARING HEADLIGHTS
AND MANY ACCIDENTS
(The Houlton Times)
Ample grand exists for the renew

of the- automobile headlight law. is
there no way to t-:tir public opliilon or
so to tiroiire the municipal autltorities
to their obvious tliity that there may
be a mitigation it' not, :i rcinovtil, of'
the iiiiisaitce tint] nienat-c that fills all
our highways at night? 'i`lto state
ltlgliwuy ttomittission is not quite,
though nearly helpless, in the iiinttt-r.

are few and the inotorists anti the
highw.°iys are many, it hint only zi
score of agents, tiiitl of net-esalty nitiztt
ot' tht-ni are engaged in the lnvestigii
tion of ticcideiits and in other routine
work. The eniorcemeint of the law is
in tho hands of the lot-ai iutlioritit~s,

ln Maine, the growing number of
motorists who use the highways nt
night is resulting in it frir more strht-`
gent enforcement of tht- hetitllight
law. ln New York the state highway
commission has recently met the proh~
lent by designing several lenses, one
of which. and no lens of nny other
mixke, each car must have. The Mas-
sachusetts commission has had a
similar _course under consideration.
but has hesitated to take the step. To
designate one or two lenses. to the
eiclusion of all others, would mnke ii
"howl that would echo lsr. And there-
is no lack of lenses on the market
that come well wlthiin the present
law-if motorists were disposed to
eiiuip their cars with them instead of
using lights that brikliteii tiibiir own
pathway at tba expense of a blinding
y. glare in the eyes of all drivers, ped-
battalioii could be recruited oit the is-‘
land in four months if gone about, in
