nueer Names For flowers.

The names OF some OF our preHieSl
flowers are so queer that they seem anus
ing TO US. Nasturtium, Tor example
comes from the Latin word meaning
twisted nose" Verbena is from the
Latin for "twig." and lavender is derived
from the Latin word lavare, TO wash, and
is really the same word as laundry"
Lavender probably got its name because
it is put away with newly washed clothes
Cornflower undoubtedly get its name
because il grows among the rows OF corn.
Goldilocks looks like little yellow head.
Honeysuckle is one OF the sweetest bios
SONS and one OF the easiest from which
bees get their honey.
Anemoue is our wind Hover" It's
name comes from the Greek word anem-
os, which mems wind" and the anem-
one is really wind flower, growing best
in exposed, windy places Orchid is
named from the Greek word orchiS,
which means "bag." Orchids always
have curious little bags.

VELIE MODELS
ARE IMPROVED
New Standards of Beauty;
Four-Passenger Attrac-
tive Type Added

Velie is out with their new Biltwel
Six models. New body designs have
been created for each type of car
and a Sport model of most attrac-
tive pattern added to the series,
making a total of nine new body
styles-a line fully satisfying and
complete in itself.
Bigger, Better, More Power, was
the watchword of Velie production
just ended. The use of Continental
Red Seal motors, Timken aXles and
bearings, multiple disc clutch and
innumerable features of equal merit
brought the Velie Biltwel Six chas-
sis to a state of mechanical per
fection. Now, to all this, retained
and even bettered, have been ad-
ded qualities totally unexpected in
cars of such price. The several new
Velie models have a grace of line
and curve, grade of upholstery
and finish. and wealth of refine,
ment in those little details which
please and satisfy and which eXper-
fence only can produce.
1t is generally admitted that Velie
made more automobile history the
past year than any other car re-
gardless of price. Now, with n
range of models more extensive than
ever before, satisfactory mechanical
~ in every respect, and a develop
ment of body designs distinct and
apart from the commonplace, Velie

Demands For W-O Cars in
September Exceeded Supply

Another evidence of the ever
growing demand for motorcars is
evident in an authoritative statement
to the effect that in spite of is huge
production, WHY'S Overland, Inc, of
Toledo, was unable to ship during
September JAN the Overland ana
WHY'S Knight cars which were sold
at retail that month.
With a small production, such q
situation might have but little sig
nificance," said Carl Hanson, of the
Overland-Harrisburg Company. but,
when one considers that WHY'S Over
land, Inc, is one of the largest au-
tomobile producers in the world,
with production running into thou
sands of cars each month, one can
not tdispuute the fact that there is
tremendous call for cars.
In the case of WHY'S Overland
sales it is true that many of the
September buyers were what is
known as repeat" buyers. They had
previously owned our cars and were
buying new models. Nevertheless, ]
venture to say that n close scrutiny
of the sales reports would reveal an
amazing number of new owners

owned cars.

from October to April they We're

ter shows there was so little doing
that every salesman did RIP Van

1.-The magic that brought q change
was in the veering of public taste
toward the closed car. People be-
gan to learn that while motoring in
summer has manifold benefits. win
ter brings out some strong reasons
for the use of a car. This change of
viewpoint stimulated the production
and consequently lowered the price
of sedans and coupes.
Then came the so-called convert
ible car-the kind with removable
sides and panels, like the bort Four
season Sedanet. This innovation
caught on so strongly that many peo-
pie now drive this type the entire
year. Not only that, but cars of the
bort Four-S Season Sedan type, with
permanent tops. are now so easily
ventilated by all windows being
quickly lowered, that thousands ac-
tually prefer them in warm weather
as we'll as in cold.
This growing popularity of Four
Season cars is the thing that has
turned formerly seasonal business
into continuous business, made fac
tories run all the time, kept dealers
'on their toes in December, as we'll
as in May, and brought the automo-
bile to the full fruition of it's destiny
