THE ALLIANCE HERALD, TUESDAY," JULY 19. 1921
Police to Enforce
Auto Regulations
After July 23
The following reflations have been
issued by the department of public
"works and police officials have been
asked to pee that they are enforced on
and after July 23:
1. Two white lights are required
on the front and one red light on the
rear of every automobile used at night
2. Spot lights may be used provided
they project their light directly on the
ground and at a distance not exceed
ing 30 feet in front of the car.
3. Diffusing lenses will not be ap
proved by the department and thwr
use is prohibited. It is impossible
"with a lens of this tvne to control the
light so that with a sufficient driving
light, there will be no glare. Examples
of diffusing lenses are: Warner, More
Light and Perfection.
4. Gas or oil lamps need not be
equipped with approved lenses.
5. Electrical headlights using a
tmlb of more than four candle power
must be equipped with an approved
lens. ' No bulb shall be over twenty
four candle power.
6. : Plain glass lenses will not be
permitted, even though they are in a
"headlight which may be tilted by
means of a lever controlled from the
driver's seat.
7. Homemade devices will be pro
hibited. While these devices to a cer
tain extent eliminate glare, the driv
ing light as a rule is reduced below
the required minimum. Under the law,
the department of public works is
Tequired to approve every lens used;
and if homehade lenses were submit
ted for approval by everyone making
them, the fee for the examination of
the lens would be prohibitive for those
desiring to use them.
8. The Standard Ford Green Visor
headlamp has been scientifically de
signed and is machine made, and in
the test has passed all of the require
ments. 9. Frosted bulbs are prohibited.
Vith a lawful lens, they are not neces
sary. Every lens which has been approved
by the department of pubiic works has
passed the same set of specifications
which have as their basis the necessity
of plenty of properly controlled driv
ing light. The lenses approved to date
are as follows:
Raydex, Osgood, Macbeth, Liberty,
Patterson, McKee, Shaler, Violet Ray,
National, Bausch & Lomb, Primolite
-B," Ford Green Visor, Sun Ray,
dareless, Legalite, Holophane. Dillon
No. E, Conaphore Clear, type F.
All of the above lenses, for their
usefulness, depend upon optical prin
cipals. None of them are lawful un
less the bulb is properly focused and
the headlight as a whale is given the
proper tilt. A camera, telescope or
reading glass to be of any use, must
be focused.
RANDOM SHOTS
When the chamber of commerce
members were discussing the Gulf-Plains-Canadian
highway, which will
pass through Alliance, one memter
said enthusiastically, when the splen
did idea had percolated: "We sure do
need a good auto road to Canada?"

Small boy was trudging along the
street, clutching in both tired hands a
heavy electric iron. Friendly business
man. feeling friendlv, called' out: "Be
careful, buddy, you'll drop that iron on
your toes." The kid made no reply
for half a minute, but finally looked
up defiiantly at the friendly man and
said: "We'll it ain't my iron." Business
man, grinning, said; "Yes, but thev're
your toes." The kid walked on. Ten
or twelve steps later he stopped and
faced around. "I guess I know they're
my toes," he said severely And this
as the diplomatic dispatcher would
say, ended the incident.
A Chadron newspaper is all fussed
over the fact that someone sent in an
unsinged letter telling about the mar
riage of Mrs. Ida Adams and Mr.
Abram Mills. Ida and Abram didn't
do it, and the editor, concluding that
he is the victim of a practical joker, is
pretty hot under the collar- Some
time, he opines, editors will earn to
place all unsigned communications in
the wastebasket. However, a lot of
good new3 sometimes is contained in
letters the writers forget to sign.
Why wouldn't it be just as easy to
verify news before printing? Some
good editors do that.
We learned our lesson some years
ago, when we had to hide out for near
ly twelve days. Some joker sent in a
birth announcement and we printed it
without verifying. All of us have to
live and learn, and the Chadron editor
who suggests handing it over to the
postofTice authorities to trace the
writer is taking it too seriously.

Montreal Herald: A large mastiff in
Bingham, Ala., incurred the wrath of
his master, who locked him up in the
bathroom. The dog whined piteously
for a while, then Was quiet. When
water began to leak from the ceiling
the man investigated. Rover was
found at the bottom of the tub, which
was overflowing with water. He
crawled in, pulled down the faucet and
drowned himself.

Judging from the way the nations
