Headlights Ordinance Explained by Jeffress (Continued from Page One.) sion do make all headlights comply with the law and that any drivers who will use this appliance will be im mune from arrest by the patrol as fat as blinding headlights are concerned." The appliance which the Highway Commission recommends is known as the "Nodimolite" and consists of a triaangular piece of aluminum that fits over the inside of each headlight lens, at the top of the lens, cutting off the upward rays from the head lights that blind those approaching, but in no way interfering with the rays of light that extend along the road or the sides of the road. Os the' many different appliances that have i been examined and tested, this has , been found to be superior, Mr. Jes- I fress says. The Commission refused j to approve this appliance, however. I until the price was reduced to area- I sonable basis. It will be possible to : equip both headlamps with this de- j vice for about sl, Mr. Jeffress said. j Those drivers who keep their head lamps adjusted in accordance with the law and who use their dimmers whan approaching other cars, will not be subject to arrest, of course, But ! the trouble with the various dimming I devices is that so few drivers use! them. Mr. Jeffress pointed out. One of the advantages of the "Nodimolite'' ; appliance is that it eliminates glare , from even th brightest lights and makes the use of dimmers or tilting appliance unnecessary. "The only reason we have suggest- , ed that motorists equip their head lamps with this device or a similar device, is to assist them and help i them comply with the law and be im mune from arrest." said Mr. Jeffress. “We did not need to examine and test ! the many appliances we have. We could merely have announced that we ' were going to enforce the law and ! let the chips fall where they would. But we felt we should help the drivers by telling them how they could best comply with the law and that Is all 1 we have done.

ROOSEVELT S FOES DENY THEY INTEND TO DISRUPT PARTY (Continued from Page O n e.) is a go<d and sufficient reason. Had Governor Roosevelt caoitalixed his ad> ullage by declaring hlmse'f boldly and emphatic-lly concerning he great issues which have been be oie the ■: "jntrv dun i~ the whole o * bis last term in office, the “antis” maintain that he would be today the strongest White House possibility be tween the oceans, and they Insist that they would have been whole-heart edly "for” him. It sounds probable. Instead, the "antis" complain. Gov ernor Roosevelt has been one of the most persistent pussyfooters In mod ern political history—not only dis couraging them (say the “antis”) but disgusting progressively more and more voters. Only on two queswons has the gov ernor been outspoken. On the power problem he is com mitted to a policy satisfactory to as well-recognized an authority, of lib eral convictions, as Senator George W. Norris —but it is worth remem i>ering that Senator Norris is a Re publican. The Democratic anti-Roose vell-ties can scarcely be blamed for not accepting his o. k. on a Jeffer onian candidate as final. As an advocate of prohibition modi fication also the governor has ex pressed himself as explicitly as It would seem as if any wet should have u right to require. And yet, some how, wets are not altogether pacified. The governor once was -1C dry, and. in a most mysterious fashion, he ap parently retains the bulk of his dry following. The wets are puzzled by it —and uneasy. ♦ 1 !836 Samuel C. T. Dodd, noted Stah ’ dard Oil Co. lawyer, born at Franklin, Pa. DlecTShm . , „ i j r -i EENDERSON, (N.
