Defective homo. conditions were found responsible for many of the problem children, but physical defects were found in 55 per cent Qf those in the State. It is forbidden in Germany, as in Great Britaih, for motorists to eound their horns at night, and it has been the practice for some time for drivers to give warning of their approach by flashing their headlights on and off. A device has now been perfected which converts the horn after dark into a visible signal. As the horn button is p'ressed, instead of sounding it connects with the headlights, causing them to flash four times in a second.
