August 4, 1928 WINNETKA TALK I. Bright Lights or Dim, Problem for Motoring Public 'S funny how different states will have different laws. Some reverse on the English, others, again, legislate in direct opposition to their sister state, and the poor innocent motorist cruis- ing along the highways of a neighbor state is "up against it," not knowing wheiher to keep his "brights" on or dim them altogether. "Wisconsin's headlight law is just the opposite of the one in operation in Illi- nois," states Si Mayer, president of The Automobile Club of Illinois. Wis- consin says put on plenty of good, un- dimmed light onto the road, but do not cause the oncoming motorist any glare. Illinois prohibits anything but dim lights. "The state industrial commission of; Wisconsin points out that three times as many accidents are caused by the dimming of lights as are caused by lights burning bright. Illinois says an emphatic NO. What, then, is the logical solution to the light question? But whatever the opposition, the fact still remains that glaring headlights have done more to menace the autoist than any other agency. Bright lights, properly adjusted might serve the motorist well just so long as it does not endanger the lives of the motor- ists. But its a chance you take. "A uniform method of light testing, such as has been adopted by some of our neighboring states might well serve the purpose. We are inclined to admit that lights play a most import- ant part in safe driving, but too little consideration is ever given them with the result that Tom Jones and Henry Smith come tearing down the roadway, lights on full, glaring all over the road and blinding every object within the scope of their searching beams. "Walter D'Arcy Ryan, director of the Illuminating Engineering Labora- tories of the General Electric company, and the designer and originator of the Ilco Ryan-Lite, is credited with being the first illuminating engineer to solve the headlight glare problem. "Mr. D'Arcy states that night driv- ing can be made equally as safe as day driving, and has laid particular stress on faulty focusing, bad bulbs, obsolete roadlights, and inability of the motor- ist to adjust his lights properly. "If a new discovery has been made in the elimination of the glare, then one of the greatest driving obstacles that ever faced a motorist has been overcome, and should result in a most notable decrease of highway accidents. For that alone, Mr. D'Arcy should re- ceive the plaudits of the motoring pub- lic" DRIVE 7,000 MILES Mrs. Roy D. Smith, 636 Garland avenue, Winnetka, and Mrs. Harry B. Millard, 260 Mary street, Glencoe, re- turned a little more than a week ago from a most unusual motor trip.
