wanted to leave all this reat col- i

e-tabhsh a nm-eum tv the memory j
of her husband. '
The daughter, Alice, who is now i
64 years !. knew what would be.- i
cume of the beautiful art trca-ure j
in .Vienna after the trade "An- I

many, ' and felt that I't-rhajis she
should not fulfill her Jewish moth
er's wish by relinquishing this great
c 'Mecti'm of mu-i.e and antiques to
the city of Vienna and the Nazi-.
She .applied t the Nazi govern -ir.ent
to be recognized as an Aryan,
but they denied her. Then she be

thi unu-ual treasure. The collec

Motorists Must Dim
Lights, Says the Law
The last legislature made it man
datory for motorists to dim their
lights when approaching another
vchiile. ' .
It stems' that motorists would
practice this as a courtesy, and
not ha-.e to wait for a law V force
them into it. "1 o unto others ast
yen would have them do unto
you," should be every 'motorist's
slogan.
In the future all motorists fail
ing to dun their lights, or travel
ing in cars with only one tag will
be arrested, it has been announced
by headquarters of the state high
way patrol.

increases ' fatigue, affects the ner
vous system, distracts' attention,
and lowers speed at which the eye
operates,' the specialist declared.
He lists four types of glare most
prevalent in homes: (1) Direct
glare which comes from unshaded
or insufficiently shaded lamps which
shine directly in the eyes. The
common - practice of using bare
lamps is bad. Light from a bare
lamp is never an aid to vision, as
well as being ugly.
(2) Reflected glare occurs when
an undiffused light, falls on a
bright and glossy surface and i
reflected into the eyes. The reac
tion is identical with that of di
rect glare.
(J) Clare by contrast, which is
caused , by high intensity against
dark backgrounds.
(4) Glare by volume. An Un
shaded electric lamp is too bril
liant to look at comfortably. All
light fixtures and portable lamps
.-.hould be well shaded to eliminate
glare and shadows. Lamps of suf
ficient wattage should be used so
that there is enough light for one
to see clearly without eye strain.
"According to its use, electric
lighting may be helpful or harm
ful," Jones emphasized,
