Such parking place or places shall be lighted." Would Save Life. "I am firmly convinced that strict compliance with the laws of the road would decrease the number of auto-- mobile accidefmts to practically noth-- ing. "According to the Division of Vital Statistics of the Department of Pub-- lic Health, there were 784 fatalities in the state in 10920 due to automobil¢ | accidents. Four bundred and fifty i of these were in Chicago and 284 in : the downstate. Nearly all of these? were caused by the fallure of one| or both parties concerned to obey me; rules of the road. Wnless these rules are obeyed the automobile, which ing other respects is one of the gr«mestl boons of this age, becomes a menace. It should be the concern of every good citizen to report any infraction of the law." Campaign Started by Emmerson Gets Results in Many Com-- munities. Good results have followed the re-- cent efforts of Secretary of State Louis L. Emmerson: to secure better enforce ment of the headlight dimming law in the state, according to reports re-- celved at his office. Some time ago he instructed all investigators operat-- ing under his direction to imake a spe clal effort to-- obtain strict enforcement of this law, and to urge local authori-- ties to co--operate with them. He also sent a letter to every sheriff and every chief of police in the state asking him to see that this law was enforced. , Provision of Law. The section of the law referring to the headlight dimming is as follows: "When upon any public bighway in this state, during the period from one hour after sunset to sunrise, every mo tor bicycle should carry one lighted lamp and every motor vehicle two lighted lamps, showing white lights, or lights of a yellow or amber tint, visible at least two hundred (200) ftoot in the direction toward which gach ;motor bicycle or motor ve hisle is proceeding, and shall alse exhibit at least one lighted lamp which shall be so situated as to throw a red light visible in the reverse direction.
