These have been replaced with right

BODY Of AUTO
GIVES IT CLASS
Steel Is Rapidly Taking the Place
of Wood in Its Con-
struction.

There Is an old saying that "the
coat doesn't make the man." but the
coat often makes a difference In the
way the man is received In the circles
In which he moves. What the coat"
meaning general attire, Is to the man
the body" il to the automobile. The
body Is the thing that lends char
acter and class to a motor car. II Is
the thing above all other features
that appeals to the eye Of the aver
age man or woman and frequently Is
the determining factor In the selec-
ton OF a car.
In the last decade styles In auto
mobile bodies have changed about az
frequently as the styles In women's
hats and dresses. Every season has
brought It's new models and the
changes noted were chiefly in the
bodies, though, OF course, great ad-
vances have been made in the way
OF increased efficiency, durability, etc.
The tendency nowadays is toward
greater uniformity and the establish.
ment OF permanent general standards.
all of which is In, line with the ef.
forts to place the industry on a sane.
safe, conservative and firm business
basis.
Up 10 two years ago automobile
bodies were constructed wholly OF
wood. except In rare instances. where
other materials were tried largely by
way OF experiment Since then. how.
ever. this branch OF the industry has
been revolutlonlzed. Body makers
everywhere are changing from wood
to steel. and, in isolated cases, To
aluminium. Wood Is still used BY
these makers, but merely as shelton
or framework for the steel shell.
Once the advantages OF the steel
body we're recognized this form or
construction came rapidly TO the fore.

nation.

Time was, not 30 many years ago
that the swaying, rafting coach uasn'
ed through the dark city streets al
the terrific rate of miles per hour,
lighted on its way by crying INK
boys. running on ahead with smoking,
flaming torches. Then kerosene oil
made il possible to place nicker-
ing light on every street corner and
the link boy became a lamp lighter.
The appearance OF gas made another
revolution and soon the city streets
were brilliant with gas lamps, and
oil lamps were relegated TO the VII
lage and the country hamlet Then
came electricity that set the streets
OF the city, village and country nam
let ablaze and extinguished both the
oil and the gas lamps as street IL
luminant.

The electric light is destined to be

bile az 1t is in other branches OF
lighting. One reason why IL mas not
made more rapid strides Is that many
OF the manufacturers or automobile
lighting apparatus have their money
tied up in machines and TOOLS ior
the manufacture OF old-time lights.
They are naturally waiting for the
public to demand new lights.
Ask them about electric lights and
they will reply, "Oh, yes, We can
make them when the public demands
them" They forget that the electric
light Is a matter of growth and de-
velopment as much as Is the auto
mobile itself Another and, perhaps
an even greater hindrance to its
advancement is the fact that many
equipments have been put on that
were not successful. Many things

When TWO hearts beat as one
As these two hearts have done;
When down the stretch OF years,
OF trials and OF tears,
With love and loyalty
And fearless fealty,
Have worked and walked together
Through still and stormy weather,
And yet together cling
Loves golden offering,
They well deserve to share
The homage rich and rare,
A grateful people give.
For they deserve to live.
No man among us now
Would pluck from off the brow,
The crown of glory won
Under the shining sun,
And Elder Selvidge stands,
Conceded on all hands,
As meriting the honor fair
That comes TO him from everywhere.
But that which gives him wealth
And happiness and health,
And worth and fame so rare,
Coming from everywhere;
Stands by his manly side
His early-only bride
While half hundred years
OF sorrows, joys and tears,
Have not the power to part
The loving loyal heart
So still with hand in hand
Together yet they stand.
