HEADLIGHT STATIONS NEARER State Auto Trades Ass'n Expert Addresses Meeting of Orange County Men Establishment of official headlight stations in Orange County, under the auspices of the California Auto Trades Association, was brought to a head at a meeting last night in the outbuilding of the Orange County Ignition Works in Santa Ana, when T. J. Templeton, illuminating engineer for the State association, addressed a number of ignition and other experts and gave demonstrations on the right and wrong way to adjust lights. The previous theory of headlight adjustment was wrong, he showed. He demonstrated that light rays could be controlled the same as water. With the correct type of lens, he said, the light can be concentrated as desired and the glare eliminated. The light zone, he said, should extend from 600 to 800 feet ahead of the car, enabling the driver actually to stop, if necessary, before reaching any obstacle. At the same time illumination of the right hand side of the road was essential, he said, to enable the driver to keep to it and also to help him in case an approaching car has glaring lights. It was easy, he said, and still drive safely by looking to keep one's eyes out of the glare the right. Shops which have become expert in headlight adjustment under instruction and have the facilities for the work will be designated as official headlight stations, and the latter can issue certificates to owners whose headlights have been properly adjusted by them. This certificate will be a distinct protection in the campaign of enforcement of proper lights to an owner. Templeton showed, because if the lights do get out of focus after correction, such a man would merely be sent back to the station where the adjustment was made for a second examination. He would be practically immune from arrest, unless previously warned. LIBRARY BUDGET SET AT $25,775 CHARGES AGAINST AVIATOR MONDAY This certificate will be a distinct protection in the campaign of enforcement of proper lights to an owner. Templeton showed, because if the lights do get out of focus after correction, such a man would merely be sent back to the station where the adjustment was made for a second examination.

LIBRARY BUDGET SET AT $25,775 Expenditures of $25,775 as the county budget for free libraries are asked of the County Board of Supervisors by Miss Margaret Livingston for the ensuing year, 1922-23. Supervisor William E. Schumacher declared that the work of completing the budget, which had been delayed, would proceed as fast as possible. LAUGHS AT VICTIM OF NO-FUND CHECK C. A.
