OLYMPIA MOTOR EXHIBITION.

CONTINUED SUCCESS.

The Olynipia Motor Show continues to attract thousands of visitors, the attendance 'last night again being large in spite of the rain which fell. The exhibits this year far exceed those of previous years, both with regard to quality and numbers, motor vehicles of all classes being displayed attractively on welWaid-out stands. Besides being an education, the exhibition is an entertainment of no mean order. Refreshments may be obtained at the tearooms, and a fine programme of music is played by Willyams's Olympia Orchestra. The Show will close to-morrow night. [PUBLISHED BT ARRANGEMENT.] DAZZLING LIGHTS PROHIBITED. Danger to road traffic at night has caused Governments throughout the ■world to introduce regulations to prohibit the use of daezling motor beadlights but it has been found impossible to strictly enforce the law, for the very good reason that hitherto no effective anti-glare device has been produced which provided the requisite raid lighting. There are scores of anti-glare contrivances on the market, and the extent to which they eliminate glare can be trenerallv measured by the reduction They bring about in the quantity of light thrown on the roadway. A new scientific discovery based on a novel application of the principles of optics, named Flatlite, is au entirely new type of Reflector. This is totally different, from all other anti-glare devices. Flatlite uses no lens, but a piece of phun g.ass. Flatlite takes the whole of the light produced by the electric bulb, and, after rendering it harmless to the eye, projects it in a flat fanshaped beam on the roadway. Flatlite sends forth a flood of glareless light in a V-shaped beam, clearly defining all objects within its range without confusing the eyesight of man or beast. Flatlite gives that 6trong and far-reaching beam of light which is necessary for road illumination to suit modern requirements for high-speed travel, and at the same time it ensures the safety of oncoming traffic by absolutely eliminating that eye-paralysing dazzle which is the dread of all roadusers. With Flatlite road illumination, both the driver of the oar and persons meeting it can, at all times, see the road perfectly, and everything on it. To appreciate the advantages of Flatlite over the ordinary form of motor headlight, it should be understood that the surface to be illuminated is the roadway t which is substantially flat. No portion of the projecting Tight is lost in the higher atmosphere, ail light being used for the illumination of the road; and the objects thereon. Flatlite complies with the most stringent traffic regulations of any country, and places the motorist in the position of travelling at night along a carpet of light that is a guarantee of safety, while the entire absence of glare changes the usual anathemas of other road-users into warm approval. F.'ctitte eliminates the danger when driving in hilly country. The ideal road light, previously impossible, has now been produced.
