Is a Query Asked
And Here Answered
HThey Are TO Be More Than
Ornaments They Should
Face Inward, Says Coghlan

"Why are louvres?" Is the question
asked Of W. J. Coghlan, motor expert,
recently in the club car between St.
Louis and New York, when talk drifted
to the subject of automobiles. Mr..
Coghlan was asked the above question
by an inquisitive motor car owner who
wanted the exact answer.
Mr.. Coghlan drew the rough sketches
shown to illustrate his point and said ::
"Thc overlapping slit-likc openings on

there we're no 'louvres' or openings in

when 'foredoors' became fashion

Car Company realized that this excess
heat was not only disagreeable, but
that too much heat was left under the

later other manufacturers, decided to

THE HARD CIDER BARREL

HOW dear to his heart is the hard cider barrel,
As the farmer who owns it presentS # to view;
The glad "city Teller" Is led to the cellar,
Feeling almost afraid IFS too good to be hue
Forgetting the glitter that's gone, and forever,
And promising eagerly never to tell,
He takes'the first swallow and then others follow:
The taste isn't nice, but it does very well;
And he fingers to talk of the crops and the weather
Forgetting the dampness, the gloom and the smell
HE pulls up box and sits down by the barrel
And he sips and sips ill his speech becomes thick;
The cellar is musty, the dpper is rusty,
But he asks for more cider and praises its kick
His wife may be wondering where be Is trying
To induce to order the goods he must sell
As be pauses to pity ''the boys" in the city,
Or babies concerning the heightened dry SPELL
While the farmer looks and induIges in chuckIes
Because the old barrel is paying 50 well.
A GLOW seems to rest the hard cider barrel
It's hoops become golden, the cellar grows bright;
Sweet music is playing and lanterns are swaying,
And people dancing with sudden delight.
The train rushes past a dozen way stations,
The farmer has vanished, why no one can tel;
The whistle is screaming he wakes from his dreaming,
And the barrel Is gone, and the cellar as WE'LL
