"Difficulties In night driving; occa
sioned by the elements such as fog,
rain, and snow, and by natural condi
tions such as Curves and hills are
gradually being overcome by auto
mobile engineers," says John Lange,
local Cadillac dealer. ,
"Lights devised to meet these prob
lems are the tilting; reflector lamps of
the Cadi:iac.
"The solution of obtaining adequate
road illumination when driving in
fog, rain and snow lies in the narrow
ing o the atmospheric wall to be
penetrated and directing the lights to
the spot where it will do the most
good under circumstances.
j "Cadillac's tilting reflectoi-Si oser
; come the difficulties to a large extent
When Cadillac reflectors are tilted by
means of a little lever on the steering
j post, they necessarily combat the nar
j rowest possible wall of atmosphere for
'safe driving, illuminate the road ahead
! for a safe distance, and at the same
I time confine the projected beams.
Changing of tfie direction of tho
rays is instantaneous so that when
the weather clears or occasion de
mands the light Instantly can be put
into tho upward position.
"These lights also solve the prob
lem of sharp curves and hills, at
night, problems that are menacing
with the fixed lights of most automo
biles. "The fixed light ordinarily Illumin
ates the fields when a turn is made,
forcing .the driver to much guess
work as to whether he. Is making the
turn properly. With Cadillac tilting
lights, the road directly ahead of the
car is always lighted when the lamps
are in the down position. The rays
of light, through the movable reflec
tors, are concentrated on the ground
immediately ahead of tho car, elimi
nating all guess work as to where the
oar la going. On hills the lights have
a downward angle as tho brow of the
hill Is crossed, instead of shooting
straight ahead Into space.
"The tilted or two-way lamp does
away with the necessity of dimmers
or lenses.
"lUmmeiM or lenses with the two
way system, are not necessary. For
when the lights are in the down posi
tion, the beam or projected rays of
light cannot get high enough to reach
the eyes of the driver of an approach
ing ear.
"There is nothing left to the Judg
ment of the driver of the car as to
how far he shull deflect the projected
beams to come within tho law. There
are only wo driving positions possi
ble. The projected beams are either
full ahead or in the down position,
these positions have been pre-deter-mined
and comply with the provisiops
of the New York law which was
drawn from recommendations of the
Society of llhiminatlng Engineers who
solved the locomotive headlight prob
lem. If the driver should neglect to
deflect his lights when parking they
would be automatically deflected
when the motor stopped.
"The greatest illuititnating author
ity in the country, the Society of
Illuminating Engineers, which co
operating with the S. A. K. in framing
the recommendations for the New
York state anti-glare law, conceded
to be the only scientifically drafted
law outside of California, has said in
its report containing the recommen
dations that the ideal solution to the
blinding glare problem is the lamp
I capable of being operated as to ac- ,

movable reflector lamps. Cadillac at!

Thousands Choose The
Chandler Dispatch
MANY admirers of the Chandler Six choose the
Chandler Dispatch. For two years this model
has outsold all other cars of the so-called sport type.
Its popularity is one of the high spots in motordom.
The new series Dispatch is a snappy, handsome car,
seating four adults in perfect comfort. It is of most
beautiful design and finish; mounted on the standard
Chandler chassis, famous for its mechanical excellence.
You are asked to pay much more for cars which
might perhaps be compared with the Chandler. And
cheap cars sell for but little less.
