r SCOTCH THE ONE EYED MENACE ? Motorist Flay* Menace on Roads Who Drive* With One Headlight. The power* that |t>e are very proper^ r/ ly getting aftei* the drivers of oriels.. eyed care. Such car? create ieal 0:- danger to other traffic. Old cure, . with only one source of light in each headlamp and no parking lights, - ff0iate the worst hazard a# In case of a Mingle burnout, they can ahoW '' no light on both bides. On cara with p| modern lighting equipment, a marker light, at leant, cun be shown on the tide where trouble has developed, ' ray* Albert L. Clough. Every motorist ought to co-opernte to stump out the "one eye" evil. Particularly those who drive cars without modern lighting equipment, r.hould bo sure to carry spare beadlight bulbs and replace burned-out Ones Immediately up<p> their fuilure. Hulbs are obtainable at almost every filling or service station and there is no excuse for delay in replacement. When one headlight only is lighted, 1 it usually burns so over-brightly as - " to be frightfully glaring and the rate at whioh it is being over-burned makes it probuble that it, too, will soon give out and leave the car with no road light at all. Thus there is even a. selfish reason for replacing dead bulbs at once. Every motorist should be sure that his headlamp fronts can be detected readily, in case u bulb has to be reInto place and sometimes prove im ....... possible for removal on the road, unless their fastenings have been kept well greased. While bulb failures are the usual cause of headlight outages, loose con* tacts in lamp circuits are sometimes responsible for these troubles.v^Buch defects generally- give warning by causing "blinking" or dull burning of their bulbs, before permanent extinquishinent occurs. Inspection and tightening of connections are occasionally necessary on all lighting circuits and the nearest repair shop can always locate and correct circuitytroubles which cause headlamp outages.

It U a wellknown fact that theae birds have tele- ; scopic eyes which permit them to ana compai atively small objects for a du- I tance of many mjlea, and there is a \ theory that they locate their food by sight alone. This is however hardly a 'satisfactory explanation, for in many instances a dead animal cannot be distinguished, from one that is living by its appearance. The bird must have some other means of locating his food. Kven if the body were only fifty yards distant1 how would the bird know whether life had left the animal if he could not smell tfce odor of d?l cay ? But it is not logical to presume that the birds locate their food either by sight or smell or by both, for they appear often from opposite points of < the compass at times when the wind, is blowing strongly. It is true that the wind could blow the odor to one < of the * birds, assuming that their? sense of smell is so acute as to distinguish it, but then the other birds coming from the opposite direction j would not even get a whiff of the 4 odor. And if they locate the body ( by sight, how can one explain the fact j that, buzzards are just as plentiful ' around the body of a dead cow in a dense forest or under bushes? Their ] eye# may bo telescopic but they ffctftinly do not possess the faculty fjjji seeing through solid objects. Mttvw been proven that the eyes of different animals vary widely in structure. It has also been proven that ? odor is necessarily a certain gas Or' Combination of gases. Doe# it se*i>< illogical to assume that there is a 'possibility of a buzzard possessing ggpi ability to literally see the smell of a dead cow? fcueh a theory has bee*' advanced by Walter Kateley, a prominent vyriter. To support this prgunu-nt one might assume that the gas arising from the decaying body looks very much like smoke tb the bird-and if this be true, the mystery of how a buzzard finds his food is at once solved.?Rutherfondton Sun.
