J T NG DRANS NEAR BN Ten-Day Period of Grace to “End Wednesday—Brakes to Be Watched. The 10-day period of leniency toward the new traffic code will expire Wed- | nesday, after which police will begin enforcing all of the regulations. Act- ing Supt. of Police Charles Evans said today. Although the new code allows a mo- torist until August 1 to get new head- light lenses if that is necessary, police officials pointed out that all lights must be properly focused immediately B0 as not to be glaring. A glaring light, Director Eldridge &aid, is one from which the beam of light rises above a horrizontal line Bcross the center of the lamp. = Mr. Eldridge said any motorist can deter- mine whether his lights are adjusted properly by driving up to his garage | door. 1f the lamps illuminate the en- tire door, they are glaring, he ex- plained. | The police also will be watchful f faulty brakes after the period of len: ency is over, according to Inspector Evans. If a policeman notices an thing about the operation of a car to! indicate the brakes are not holding | he may require the driver to demon- | strate "how quickly his brakes will stop the car With regard to headlights, Director Eldridge also called attention to the requirement that bright lights be dim- med at the brow of a hill so as not to shine in the eyes of approaching drivers. Officials of the traffic office are pro- ceeding with the preparation of a small pamphlet, which will set forth the regulations so that they will be of easy reference.

Mrs. Mina_Van Winkle of the Metropolitan Police Department _told of her efforts to eradicate vice here.

Plans of the Army general staff for the defense test, awaiting only White House approval, have substi- tuted the word “muster” for “mobil- ization,” as applied to Defense day last year and which occasioned con- siderable controversy. The old mil. itary term “muster,” it was pointed out by a committee of the Reserve Officers’ Association, which drew up the plans, better expresses the true meaning of the test, that of taking stock. Selection of Armistice day for the purpose of “taking periodic stock of our national defense” was approved by the association as the ideal time, historically and otherwise. The test last vear was held on September 12 the anniversary of the battle of St. Mihiel. It “was a good beginning." the committee declared, “for it complete- ly silenced the pacifists and proved the practicability and necessity” of testing the national defense. Deemed Necessary. Defense day is deemed necessary by the committee “inasmuch as there is a recognized inherent fear and sus- picion in this country concerning any Government policy that is not general- Iy explained and understood, especial- Iy If it involves military activity in time of peace. * Defense day, properly handled lo- cally, furnishes unlimited opport nit for educational presentment our localized defense organization, fof- systematic patriotic demonstration, and s the basis for opportunity to in- crease esprit de corps in army units and among individual officers who take part or witness the event of the day. Local exercises on the day, the com- mittee declared, should emphasize that the “National defense day was con- ceived as and s a guarantee against future war.” Co-operation .of governors by ap- pointing local and State chairmen and committees for the exercises was recommended by the officers.
