BUREAU WILL CORRECT EVIL HEADLIGHTS Plans for Enforcement of Uniform Laws Over Entire Country. WASHINGTON, April 20.—The headlight evil Is going to be corrected If It takes the Government and all State and local au. ..orlties combined to do it. That Is tne assurance given out by experts of the United States Bureau of Standards who are cooperating with a special committee on motor vehicle lighting of the American Illuminating Engineering Society. Automobile manufacturers, too, are interested in regulations concerning headlights and have offered to aid the Bureau of Stan ds and legal authorities in their wo STANDAR i LIGHTS. What the authorities are especially desirous of accomplishing Is tne creation of recognized standards for automobile headlights and the formulation of a uniform headlight law throughout the country. An agreement has already been reached on the k.nd es. light required and the limits for controlling glaring lights. The establishment of headlight adjusting stations in garages, according to the Bureau of Standards, has been a desirable step toward uniformity in automobile lighting. Bureau of Standards experts have been awamped with ofTers of help from all over the country. An informal organisation of State authorities, representing all of New Ergland, New York, New Jersey, Penns; ivania and Maryland, has been formed. FIRST STEP MADE. Their man purpose Is to establish a uniform headlight law among their own States and to urge the same law upon other States until the whole country is covered. Thelr's Is the first step toward federalization of a uniform headlight law. Uniform laws alone, however, conld not boltsh the headlight evil, say the men studying the situation here. Besides sneh laws there should be a uniform procedure In enforcing these laws and. especially, an extensive campaign of education for enforcement officers, garage men and automobile drivers. The committee of illuminating engineers and all automobile experts Interested are working together for a plan of action that will Include these essentials. A hairpin will do tbs work of a cotter pin when the emergency arises. Automobile exports into Mexico for the first eight months of 1021 were 237 jpr cent above those of the same period In 1920. Tar spots on the ear body may be washed off with soapsuds containing a bit of kerosene oil.

Embodying An Ideal of Service

2715

By Adopting the Direct Fae? tory-to-User Plan, Monroe Has Effected the Greatest Economy Since the Beginning of the Motor Car Industry. The automobile dealer himself, isn’t to blame for high prices. He can’t help it. He is simply part of the system with which, the industry started. While colossal strides have been made in developing and perfecting of the cars themselves —all cars, you understand—practically no advance has been made from the original expensive method of selling them. Monroe now comes to you with a direct factory-to-you plan which must meet your views of economy. No dealer’s profits are paid when you buy a Monroe. There are no dealers. The whole of your money goes into the car • —and the price drops way below what you expected. The Monroe, made possible under this carefully worked out plan, represents economy of the genuine sort, the kind which grows out of honest material, good workmanship and skilled engineering, brought together into a high grade assembly—and sold right. The benefit is yours and so is the increased amount of free service provided. Take advantage of it.

TDEALISM combined with practical efficiency are the motives inspiring the 25,000 men and women who make up the personnel of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The ideal of production is to create petroleum products as nearly perfect as is humanly possible. The expression of this ideal in tangible form has resulted in a vast and superlatively efficient service to 25 million people in 11 Middle Western States. To perform this service our complete refineries are working 24 hours every day. At the Whiting Plant alone the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) employs more than 3,500 people and has an annual capacity of 14,600,000 bbls. of crude oil 7,750,000 bbls. of gasoline 2,190,000 bbls. of refined oil 1,800,000 bbls. of lubricating oil 35,000 tons of refined wax 100,000 tons of asphalt products 14,000 tons of candles 2,500 tons of parowax 24,000 tons of grease These plants are the visible expression of an ideal. To bring them to their present degree of efficiency required years of time, intensive training, wide experience and almost limitless resources. The seven men who guide the affairs of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are planning constantly new methods and more ways to achieve greater effectivenessinserving the people depending upon the Company for petroleum products. N These men are working to perfect a complete service—first by manufacturing a maximum number of useful petroleum products and second by maintaining a complete system of distribution which shall carry these products to the consumer whenever and wherever he may have need for them.
