Coppedge, Manager Phene 80* 101* Idaho Street Boise, Idaho spotlight WHEN PROPERLY USED State and city legislation against the use of the spotlight has been chief ly the fault of motorlets Who used it carelessly. The windshield searchlight which can be tipped at any angle and thus throw the light only on the road, and at the same time hide the full view of the face of the searchlight from ap proaching motorists, can be made to fulfill practically all the requirements of a driving light without blinding other drivers. The rhlef objection to the spotlight |has been that drivers have not taken full advantage of the fact that it can be directed at any angle, but have per mitted It to point straight ahead down the road and thus blind approaching drivers as seriously as would any un dimmed headlight, when it could easily hnve been tilted to a point immediately in front of the car or to the Ride of the road until tlie approaching vehicle was past. The spotlight Is meant to he tilt - the spot „ Kht ls particularly , ,__________________,___,____m.i,.., ^ ^ 1"^ röa^on^which'Tt^ "is" thrown.' . ed, when necessary, and the courtesy of the road demands that consideration for other drivers.

Its value for reading street and road signs, etc., is beyond question.
