ANCIENT STYLES USED
In THE 10Th CENTURY

There are many styles and types
OF automobiles in use today, but prob
ably the five best known and most
popular in the United States are the
coupe, the sedan, the limousine. the
touring car and the roadster. The
first three names are French in their
origin and the last two are English.
The word coupe" was applied orig
inally to a four-wheeled closed car
riage for two persons inside, with an
outside seat for the driver. 1t Is
derived from the French word mean
ing ito cut" and Is so called because
1t gives the appearance OF a larger
carriage cut In half. The word was
later taken over and applied to the
present inclosed car with one seat
in the rear. a drivers seat, and an
auxiliary seat.
TIE word sedan" Is probably one
Of the oldest terms applied to a We
hicle for transportation. It was used
for the first time in France, and de-
rives Its origin from the French city
OF that name. This name takes on
a peculiar significance now when It
is remembered that the sensational
advance OF Pershing's fighters reach
ed Sedan when the arfnistice was
signed. The first sedans were port
able inclosed chairs carried on poles
by two men. They were extremely
popular in England and are still used
IN China Australia and India. The
modern sedan has an inclosed body
and accommodates seven passengers.
Because of the single inclosed COM
partment 1t is popularity known as
the all-season. all-purpose family car.
Limousine was originally the
name OF a cloak worn in France, and
probably originated from Limousin.

QUESTION: AIR E
ANSWERS WHICH WILL SOLVE
PERPLExlNG PROBLEMS OF
THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA.

Query.-The government has launched
an educational campaign to encourage
building in order to put more men TO
work. Would not similar movement to
show how the old structures can be best
and most economically repaired and made
good as new also help?
Answer.-It is learned that such
plan is in effect and IS linked directly
with the Washington propaganda.
Industry must be turned back from
works of war to the ways Of peace
Employment must be found, In the
meanwhile, for those whose Occupa-
ton has been interrupted. There is no
real surplus of labor in the United
States. Rather there is a shortage,
which would be acute If normal condi-
ditions were already restored. and one
step towards restoring them will come
with resumption of repair work.
Government restrictions, imposed by
the necessities of the war program,
have for many months past retarded
or altogether prevented construction,
improvement and repairs. These re-
strictions are now off, and there is
scarcely a town, city, factory,
dwelling or farm that does not reveal
a crying need for prompt attention.
Nothing delays such instant action ex-
cept the feeling that prices are high
for the time being and may be lower.
That is not logical No matter what
1T costs to repair, the cost is less than
the cost of neglect. No matter what
the cost of paint, the wind and the
weather will collect a higher bill In
deterioration and decay.

Query.-what do you think Of paint as
an investment. aside from the appearance
it lends? Does 1t really PAY to paint
house regularly. say. every three or four
years?
Answer.-GOod paint properly APP
piled when needed is the main thing In
making a house last long and well. A
house worth $3.50 can be painted at a
cost OF about SIPS. In 60 years THAI
house will need about 10 paintings,
the total cost Of which will be $685..
Left without paint. such house would

Her soldier boy was coming home

he would find out her deception. What
would he think Of her? How could

Each girl as she finished pair of

seemed to like them.

Now the war was over and the boys
were coming home. Nita's soldier
had written that he should be among
j.. the first to return. He was longing to
see her, to tell her how much good her
letters, her advice and her wise coun-
sci had done him. He knew she had
"a kind, motherly heart and sympa-
thetic eyes-were they blue?-a dear
mouth that smiled and helpful hands.
He had so much enjoyed the socks and
