HERE’S HP FOR VACATIONISTS Vertical Windshields Are Safest on Trip. Rv XEA. Service NEW YORK. May 27.—A dear, vertical windshield of even thickness, about twenty inches from the driver's eyes and supported on the ends by narrow metal posts, is the best and safest, according to Dr. Edwin H. Silver, member of the motor vision commission of the American Optometric Association. "The laws of refraction and of reflection should govern the construction of a windsheild,” says Dr. Silver. •'Good vision, the ability to translate what is seen and the ability to act quickly are the three most vital factors in autolmobile driving. “The optics of the windshield play an important part in the vision of the motorist. The surfaces of the glass must be parallel to each other and the thickness the same throughout, as otherwise you will get multiple images of -an approaehing object. especially a light. “For this reason the windshield should be in a strictly vertical position, or at the utmost, the slant should not be greater than 10 degrees. . “A greater slant than this causes the driver tc see through an increased thickness of glass, which, while small, serves to increase the internal reflections and to emphasize every defect or variation from parallelism of the surfaces of Wie glass." GOOD LOCATION, SERVICE Indiana Hotel at Wabash Has N Rooms, 50 With Bath. For centralized location, wonderful food, excellent accomodations and unsurpassed service it will be hard to And an equal to the Indiana Hotel at Wabash, Ind.
