What 10 a Coach?
By Roy c. Haye

What Is a coach? -
Now that the coach craze has hit
motordom in earnest. 1t Is interest
ing to know just exactly what Is
mean by coach. The Society of Au-
tomotive Engineers more than a
wear ago, defined the coach as:
Coach-An enclosed sfngle-con- :
partment body, similar In general
appearance to the sedan, with two
close coupled cross-seats for four
passengers. There is luggage com :
partment or space for trunk at the
hack of the body. There Is no glass
in the rear quarters. The conyen :
tional type has two doors only. the
forward seats being divided and the
rirht-hand seat tipping forward TO
give access to the rear cross-seat.
Some models have two doors on the
right hand side, there being TWO
fixed cross-seats."
The first coach was Manufactured
by the Hudson Motor Car company
an an Essex chassis, Nov. z. I92l.
The price , was sl.4s5 as against
s11s5 for the then Essex open car.
AFTER the introduction of the Essex
coach at the New York show, the
coach was introduced by Hudson at
the Chicago show.

amount OF space to leave between

time. while the car that is just the
right distance from the curb. with
wheels parallel and windows closed,
Gamble counted on to remain for the
entire parking time.
Where do YOU stop your car when
you are waiting for another driver
to pull away from a parking space
and bequeath ii to YOU? Most
motorists stop just a little ahead OF
the space on the theory that they'll
be ready to back right in just as
soon as 1t is vacated. This isn't
logical In the first place you are
in the way of the man trying to get
out. And. most important of all,
YOU permit Game parking hog" to
observe proceedings and sneak In
before you have chance to back
up. If you would stop just behind
the space other drivers would not
be able to see what space you're
aiming for.

American cars like the Ford, Chevro-

The French tax is Sc francs per II. T..

The mathematical formula used by
practically all countries to determine
horsepower rating Is admitted by all
engineers to be grossly inaccurate,
and yet the governments use it as a
tax basis. Without attempting to de-
scribe the formula, it can be said that
the actual horsepower of an engine
can be determined only by test, and
cannot be arrived at by formula be-

Tips From The Trade

One explanation given for the fact
that dealers are now showing an
average gain of $27.S8 per car on
used cars taken In trade, as against
loss per transaction of $7023 In
1922, Is that cars not easily saleable
are not being taken In trade, despite
the fact that 70 per cent of the new
car sales represented a trade-in.
This. should be a gentle tip to the
automobilist to avoid freakish ideas
in bodies and mechanical features
and to buy makes and models that
ore likely to have a high sales value,
not necessarily now but later. BY i
car not easily saleable the auto
motive trade also means one that
has been sadly neglected and abus-
ed. Another tip to the public.

SWEET POTATO STOCKS
REPORTED OFF Is PCT

WASHINGTON, March 12.-
Stocks of marketable sweet potatoes
February Is, 1924, in over 800
storage houses distributed through
out the commercial producing sec
lions of Is states were only three
eighths as large as such stocks at the
same date in 1928, according to re
ports made by these houses to The
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
In the Middle Atlantic States the
present stocks in warehouses re-
porting are A per cent as great as
on February 10, 1928. In the North
Central States they are SO per cent
in the South Central States 81 per
cent; the average for all houses be-
ing 81 per cent of those held a year
ago.
The houses reporting show 20G.-
$40 bushels of U. S. No. 1 grade
stock out of a total marketable
stock of 310,588 bushels. Some
house failed to state whether any
or all their stock was U. S. No. !
grade.
Because of the decrease in the
number of houses reporting; the
light crop of 1928; and the fact that
more than A per cent of the house
reporting had no potatoes in stock
on February Is this year; it is be-
! lieved that considerable number
of houses which placed potatoes r
store, but were already empty, fail
ed to report.

lOWNDES FARMERS
PLAN ASSOCIATION
Effort VIII Be Made To Perfect
Plans For Marketing Sweet
Potatoes At Valdosta

VALDOsTA, March 12.-Re-
sulting from a canvass which has
Just been concluded. it is Indicated
by farmers in the plan for market
ing sweet potatoes ana it is ex-
pected that the organization will be
perfected within very short time.
Experience of growers in truck,
peanuts, hay and other commodl-
ties has shown the value of coop
erative marketing, and the potato
growers will follow the same gen
eral plan. The movement is being
backed by Valdosta business inter
ests, because it is regarded as one
that will be worth a great deal to
South Georgia in commercial way.
After the market possibilities of
the sweet potato were Investigated
it was found that vastly inferior
product is enjoying wide sale be-
cause the Georgia product is not
properly graded and placed on the
market. In fact the inferior pro-
duct really "pokes fun" at the
Georgia product boldly in its adj
vertising matter.
Under the plan of the proposed
organization, the crop will be pror-
erly graded and packed and Wig
orous Introductory camaign put on.
This will soon make place in the
front ranks for the Georgia pro-
duct and, because the potato can Dc
produced cheaply, will make it &

very profitable product.
Every acre of land planted in to-
bacco can produce a splendid yield
of sweet potatoes without additional
fertilizer, thus reducing the cost
very materially and adding cores

DIR. WORST TO
BE PRINCIPAL
AT DORE, N. d

Fargo, Sept. 4.--Dr. John H. Worst,
for more than 20 years president of
the North Dakota Agricultural col
lege, later serving two terms rs COM
missioner of immigration for North
Dakota, has accepted the position Of
principal of the schools at Dore, NJ
d., in Mckenzie county.
Shortly after his retirement as
commissioner of immigration, DR..
and Mrs. Worst moved onto the farm
of their son, located near the border
between North Dakota and Montana,
short distance from Fairview, Mont.
Members of the school board of the
Yellowstone district in Mckenzie,
pressed DR.. Worst to accept the
principalship of the schools, and he
has consented.
Editor Hurley of the Fairview
News says:
"The editor of the News has known
Mr., Worst since childhood. His name
was household word in southeastern
North Dakota-that's how we knew
him-30 years and more ago. He was
recognized as perhaps the outstand-
ing educator Of the state. To know
his record of service to his state
North Dakota-is to entertain a great
respect for Mr.. Worst. Retired now,
he is drafted to teach and supervise
the Dore school and assumes the
work with the zest Of a youthful in
structor. We take our hat off to men
of the stamp of DR.. Worst"
