Travelling|at night on the Coney Island Boulevard, I often notice when- ever the motorcycle police are away on other parts of the boulevard drivers of cars having clectric head- Ughts take advantage of their absence by switching on thelr powerful lights every now und then, throwing an aw- ful glare in the eyes of the on- coming drivers and making it exceed- ingly dangerous for any one on the boulevard, The motorcycle officers, although making frequent arrests, have failed to stop this trick. Com- mon courtesy, together with a little fommon sense, should cause these reckless drivers to refrain from this @angerous practice. There have been many accidents recently between automobiles and motorcycles at night which might Rave been avoided if the motorcycles had carried rear lights, 1 should think that a motorcycle rider, for nis own protection, would be only too glad to equip his machine with a rear lght, which would be visible to cars epproaching. The lights are cheap, but accidents are costly. ‘There has been a clever devised traffic arrangement put in force at) 1 the Plaza entrance of Prospect Park in Brooklyn, The spot has always been dangerous, there being many ideas as to the right of way. Now, thanks to the Traffic Police, a cir- ele has been latd out and the ma- chines must travel in one direction, thus preventing confusion and facil- itating matters for both automobile SPOS HD >S9> oe PERTTI LEP LOD OOS driver and the pedestrian.

A retarded epark, a very rich mixture, faulty valve timing, lack of olf or wa clogged weter system, faulty water pump, undue racing of motor, fan belt off er alipping or a dirty radiator might eause overheating.
