4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1923 National Safety Council Blames Glare and Dazzle for Accidents; Issues Code Engineering Society Makes Chart For Testing Car Headlights In an effort to eliminate the ac- cidents that are caused from glare and dazzle in headlights the National Safety council has codified the auto lighting laws for the benefit of motor- ists. The code tells when lamps should be lit, how bright they should be for safety and utility, and how they should be equipped. North Shore car owners will find the code, printed here, useful in testing out their own lighting equipment. Here Are Facts 1. Modern laws on this subject now require that from 30 minutes after sunset rise (one hour in some states), no motor vehicle should be operated unless it has sufficient lights, so ad- justed and operated as to render the highway safe for all the public. 2. The headlights should enable the driver to distinguish clearly a person, vehicle, or substantial object at least 200 feet ahead. Dangerous glare or dazzle should be avoided. 3. Cars should display: a. Two headlights when in mo- tion, one on each side, both lights of equal power. Headlights to be white or tinted, never red. b. One or two headlights when standing still. Light should be vis- ible at a distance of at least 500 feet c. One tail-light, red, that is vis- ible at a distance of at least 500 feet. Light should be displayéd whether car is in motion or standing. Tail- light should be at left of center of car and illuminate number plate with a white light. Have Made Table 4. The Illuminating Engineering So- ciety after considerable investigation and experimentation has formulated the following table of headlight in- tensities. If headlights conform to this table, all dangerous or dazzling glare will be eliminated. Tests can be made with a portable photometer where readings are indicated in foot- candles. These readings are resolved into candle-power at the light source by applying the rule that illumination varies inversely as the square of the distance. Thus 1 foot-cand'e ~¢ distance of 100 feet |..ueqte€s a light "source of 10,000 candle-power; a read- ing of 2 foot-candles at a distance of 100 feet indicates a light source of 20,000 candle-power. State Enforcement Laws (California, Connecticut, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, and Wiscon- sin have laws enforcing these inten- sity requirements. Pennsylvania and California specify 1,200 candle-power minimum for tests Nos. 1 and 2. Pennsylvania specifies 800 candle- power minimum for tests Nos. 5 and 6. California has no specifications for tests Nos. 5 and 6. This list in- cludes all state legislation of 1920.) 5. Important points are: a. Equip headlights with proper device to make their lights conform to the above table. b. Install lamps whose candle- power corresponds to the device used. c¢. Focus lamps in reflectors ac- cording to requirements of device used. Explain Five Methods of Auto Brake Application There are no fewer than five differ- ent arrangements of brakes in use today : (1) Foot brake on transmission, hand brake on rear wheels. (2) Hand brake on transmission, foot brake on rear wheels. (3) Both brakes on rear wheels. (4) Hand brake on one rear wheel. foot brake on the other. (5) Brakes on all four wheels. Before comparing these one with the other, there are two points to which very careful attention should be given. The first point is that while the brake at the back of the gear box is very close to the point of applica- tion, be it hand or foot, so that there is very little spring in the connections, yet the road wheel brake, rear or front, is a comparatively long way off," causing, possibly, considerable spring in the connections, particularly if a shaft across the chassis be used for connecting ithe two. Certainly there is less spring if whiffletree compensation is used, as on many American cars, but the cross-shaft with or without compensating gear is the commonest practice in this country. This spring in the one case, and rigidity in the other, is a very im- portant consideration.

The disaster which follows such cuts falls into three successive stages--sand blis- ters, mud boils and blowouts. The method of repair is so simple that any motorist can protect himself by carrying in his tool kit some self- vulcanizing tread gum, according to Miller tire experts. Moisture Rots Fabric Running over jagged stones and glass cuts the tread rubber protect- ing the fabric carcass of the tire. In much the same way that a sponge ab- sorbs water the smallest of cuts will suck up water, sand and gravel. The moisture slowly rots away the cotton fabric and weakens the tire so per- ceptibly at that point that a blowout is unavoidable. The sand and gravel form blisters and boils, and the two together cause tread separation. To neglect any tread cut is dan- gerous to the life of the tire, which deserves a square deal and protection against the thousand and one forms of tire abuse. It pays big dividends in immunity from trouble to inspect tires regu- larly for tread cuts, and when they are found to plug with tread gum promptly, rather than wait for the tire to "pop." Tire conservation boiled down means the tire all of the miles that have been built into it by the manufacturer. Any other course spoils the pleasure of driving a car, and what is more important, is extravagant. C. P. Evans To Leave For Kentucky Club Gathering C. P. Evans, a member of the North Shore Golf club, will attend a meeting of the directors of the Blue Grass Coun- try club, Kentucky, next week. Mr. Evans will leave on August 13 for Cave City, Kentucky. The Country club is located in a beautiful spot ten miles from the city, says Mr. Evans. Mr. Evans is a member and director of the Blue Grass Country club as well as of the North Shore Golf club. He is in charge of the sale of the old North Shore club property at Kenilworth, be- ing a member of the Kenilworth Realty association as well as of the syndicate of North Shore members who recently purchased the fifty acre "home site" at Glenview.

Thomas Scott says so, and he ought to know for he is going to put it on. Boiled down, it all amounts to this. The Airplane Service company, in which Scott is interested, will give an exhi- bition in Winnetka on Sunday, August 5, at Hibbard road and Willow street. The exhibition will last from 10 o'clock in the morning to 5 o'clock in the eve- ning. All kinds of stunts will be demonstrat- ed by 'the flying machine§; Scott says, adding that the chief attraction of the day will be the lady parachute performer. J sD ROL... DR. R. L.

The first meal in the present home of Wilmette's cafeteria was served Tuesday evening, and on the following night the second dinner was on hand. Regular meal service, however, began on Thursday. In moving to its new location the management of the cafeteria has spared no pains in making the place one to be proud of. Only the most modern kind of appliances have been installed in the kitchens and only the best equipment placed in the dining room. Every effort will be made to make the establishment attractive at all times. T. L. Welch, the owner of the cafe- teria, has promised a grand formal open- ing of the new room for all Wilmette. But he hasn't said just when it would be. There is one coming though, he says, and he advises everyone to watch for it. READ THE NEWS he.
