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 difference in the
way the man is received in the circles
i'm which he moves. What the coat,
meaning general attire, is TO the man
the body" is TO the automobile. The
body is the thing that lends char
acter and class to motor car. IL 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 as
frequently as the STYLES in women's
hats and dresses. Every season has
brought its new models and the
,hanges noted were chiefly In the
bodies, though, of course, great ad-
.ances 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 eff
forts to place the industry on sane,
safe. conservative and firm business
basis.
Up to 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 reyolutionized. 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 a shelton
or framework for the steel shell.
Once the advantages OF the steel
body were recognized this form or
construction came rapidly to the fore.

AUTOMOBILE
ELECTRIC LIGHTING

Time was. not SO many years ago
that the swaying, rafting coach dash
ed through the dark city streets AZ
the terrific rate OF miles per houg
! lighted on its way by crying lin.
boys, running on ahead with smokins
| flaming torches. Then kerosene on
made II possible TO place flicker
| ing light on every street corner and
! the link boy became lamp lighter
! The appearance OF gas made another
revolution and soon the city streets
were brilliant with gas lamps, and
oil lamps were relegated 10 the val
| lage and the country hamlet. Then
came electricity that set the streets
of the city, village and country ham
| let ablaze and extinguished both the
oil and the gas lamps as a street IL
| luminant.
II is far cry from the link boy
! to the electric light, but not farther
than from the olden coach to the
modern automobile that is pushing
its way into every country OF the
earth, lighted, in most instances. not
ii is true. by the link boys torch
but only step in advance, by flick
ering, smelly, unreliable and often
dangerous oil and gas lamps. Recog'
nizing this danger the United States
government inspector OF steamboats,
has prohibited the transportation OF
automobiles equipped with acetylene
gas tanks on steamers carrying pas
sengers. except under well-defined re-
strictions.
Many a man who would not think
OF using gas, much less oil, as an
illumlnant in his home, or even his
barn, still uses II for his auto When
one is stalled on dark night in q
pouring rain, the wind blowing a
gale, matches, patience and profanity
all exhausted, what comfort II Is
to have passer-by flash his electric
lights and regret that he has no
matches 10 offer!
The electric light is destined to be
as universally used on the automo-
bile as ii is in other branches or
lighting One reason why II has not
made more rapid strides is that many
OF the manufacturers OF automob,i
lighting apparatus have their mon
tied up In machines and tools Tor
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 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
go TO make success or failure in this
work. The lamps themselves, the
battery, the wiring, all play an i'm
portant part. II is folly TO expect
weak improperly-built battery, or
one built for ignition purposes to be
a successful lighting battery. 1t, is
worse than folly to use small I'm
properly insulated wire and loosely
made connections and then expect
success. II is folly TO think that any
