NEW BODY STYLE
Coach Work Aims to Intro
duce Advanced Esprit" Of Ideal
Motor Body.

| IL the action OF the Mitchell Motors
Company in presenting body designed
along entirely new lines Is followed by
other American designers. It is question
able If France will long retain her lead
ership as the mistress Of styles. In the
automobile field at any rate. For the new
Mitchell touring car and roadster seen
FOR the first time at the show this year
marks the dawn OF IA new era in body de-
sign.
The automobile having always been con-
drawn carriage, it is only natural. per-
haps. that automobile builders should de-
veiop their body styles on traditions of
the carriage builders art. That was the
safe course to pursue, but one which
greatly restricted the introduction Of new
IDEAS in body styles
| The Mitchell Motors Company for the
rirst time in automobile history breaks
away from the tradition of the old vehicle
industry and attempts in these new mod
els to create 4 design which, while it
makes the car essentially a style carriage,
expresses in its lines and proportions the
spirit of automobile travel rather than an
evolution of the carriage idea
| The radiator is sloped back smartly to
get away from the blunt stubby effect
| Of the old straight radiator. Any body
moving rapidly through the air should
have a more graceful point of entrance.
Which is the idea that is carried out in
he tilted Mitchell radiator. The only
other conveyance which approximateS the
smooth swiftness of motor travel is the
smart yacht. It's chief characteristic is
graceful lines carried out in the form of
sloped masts and tunnels. This idea has
been copied in the new Mitchell by giving
| 4 graceful rake to all the normally YER
,ical lines of the body. such as the lou
vers in the hood, the cowl. windshield
ind door lines.
The effect is new. but so natural and
graceful that it appeals instantly to the
observer as the right thing to do and one
wonders why someone had not adopted
/ he simple but effective idea long ago.

The idea originated with Mrs Runyon,
although she modestly says it was sug-
gested to her by man. For a number
OF years Mrs. Runyon had been very
much interested in civic work She
helped her town get a Juvenile court, a
hospital, and a woman's building Dur
ing the war she was chairman of the
American Red Cross for the town and
county, and although she still holds that
position she felt the need of something
in a constructive line to engage her en-
ergy after the war was over.
She spoke of her need one day to a
friend, the president of bank, and he
said, why not go into the banking
business2" Though at first disposed to
regard the suggestion as joke, she
thought 1t over, and on mentioning it to
other business men was encouraged to
act. Several women friends promised
to help her out, and as none of the
husbands objected She went ahead
