SEDANS ORIGINALLY

such features as wheels, motors and
cigar lighterS-admittedly vital adj

j. s. Hunt. vice president of the
Hayes Hunt Corporation, explaining
how the term came to be applied to
e. popular model Of closed automobile,
says:
THE early sedan was an Enclosed
chair, carried on poles between mems
shoulders. IT derives Its name from
Sedan, France-one of the first places
70 adopt it in western Europe.
THE rear quarter of our modern
sedan closely resembles the old sedan
chair And there is further similarity
in their freedom from joStle and noise.
People In the seventeenth century ap-
preciated comfortable and silent trans
portation just as much as we do today.
History tells u.s." Mr. Hunt con-
tinues, that when Buckingham in
PRODUCED the sedan into England, he
created great furore because the
people objected to seeing men doing
horses work. The sight Of a gentle
man being born on the shoulder of
two Servitors was too much for the
Euglishman's sense of justice.
1T is interesting to think that, after
ell these years. body designing hasn't
changed radically. The rear quarter
of A modern sedan Is essentially the

NATIONS TO PROTEST
CRUDE RUBBER PRICES
A. A. A. Makes Plea to European

letter addressed to them by Thomas
P. Henry, president Of the American
motoring body. have been urged to
join the organized motorists Of the
United States in a joint international
| protest to the British government in
the name Of the consumers every
where. A similar communicat ton
previously was addressed to the auto
mobile association Of Great Britain,
which represents 100000 individual
motor car users. Maj. Stenson Cooke
secretary Of that organiza ton. has

ing to the relief of motor vehicle own
ers from the excess toll they now are
hearing.
President Henry. tells foreign mo-
torists that THE present prices are
in no wise due to a world shortage
Of raw rubber. but almost entirely
resulted from the operation Of the
Stevenson restriction plan, spon-
sored by the British government and
originally intended to stabilize the
British rubber planta ton industry in
| the Far East" Mr.. Henry goes on
to say that the Stevenson plan has
gone far beyond the original purpose
Of protecting the industry and has
virtually scrapped the law of supply
and demand in so far as it concerns
rubber. He apprises them of the
fact that American motorists are en-
deavorfng to lengthen the period Of
usefulness of their tires and that the
American automotive industry is
providing capital to start rubber
plantations outside restricted terri
tory.

CARE URGED IN SHIFTING.
Rule Governing Change on Up
grade in Winter.

When shifting gears on the up
grade in winter, and when tho roads
are Icy, It is important to watch trac-
ton closely. Shifts should be made
where the traction Is best. Usually 1t
is advisable to shift into low gear at
the bottom Of the hill. so that the mat
ter of traction is taken care of at the
beginning There are some instances,
however, where more ice will be found
at the bottom than half way up the
hill. In that case 1t is better to defer
the shifting until part way up the
grade.

The radio battery can be useful If

energy enough to give the engine a

batteries should be used simultane-
ously, but should be wired in parallel,
not in series. Wiring IT. parallel

the one battery to the positive post OF
