CHICAGO, December 5—~Two new sodium vapor lamps lsst night cast rays of hope that nocturnal automo- bile accidents—now causing _about 18,000 deaths a year in the United States—may be drastically reduced. ‘The lamps were placed above two important highway intersections by the Chicago Motor Club as an experi- ment. They shed an orange light, uniform, shielded, soft and plentiful, over the road. They neutralized the glare of approaching headlights. Said George W. Barton, the club’s head engineer: “Such lighting is the next move to- ward motoring safety. Night driving accounts for half of the automobile 1atalities, although the traffic volume lharmndmuonlyme-mfiu&hlt of daytime hours. “thmmendlymmlm (ahead. The strain is largely removed from night driving.” 1f deemed practical, the lamps could be above highways at intervals strung Jof 125 or 250 feet. ‘ .
