Realizing tht it "would be advantageous to auto mobile ownersv dealers and manufac turers If automobile body names were definitely (Jeter im ned upon, so that when a certain name Is mentioned or seen In print it will not be necessary to guess whether the word, represents bird, a beast, or a new kind or breakfast food, the Society of Auto motive Engineers appointed a com mittee to draft a tentative recommen dation for a more stable and scientific nomenclature for automobile body types. The committee report recommends the adoption as etaiudiard of the following- body names: Roadster, coupe, phaeton, sedan, berline, limousine, brougham, landaulet, cabriolet, coupe landaulet, llmousine-landaulet, and brougham-tamdaulet. Another type is included in the pro posed nomenclature, but the name will not be decided upon until the consensus of opinion of automobile and dealer advertising managers shall have been determined. The name will. however, be descriptive of the en closed single-compartmenit body with wo fixed cross-seats, close-coupled and allowing the minimum fore-and-aft seating space for four passengers. In developing this nomenclature it was found that there was a great dif ference of opinion regarding the ad visability of specifying the word phaeton or touring when applied to an open-type body with two fixed cross- eats for four or five passen gers. The principal reason for using the term "phaeton" instead of the term "touring" is that the latter has lost all of its significance as apply ing to any particular type of body, all types being used for touring. The term "phaeton" is used extensively in Europe and to a considerable extent in America in connection with pas senger cars. "Fool Stunts' Foolish. Kvcry automobile operator has his pet "fool trick." even though he may pride himself on his careful driving. While a large percentage start their cars with the emergency brakes on, others try to shift gears without throwing out the clutch. Some driv ers are known to throw the gears into a forward speed whllo the oar is mov ing backward, or vice versa. Starting from a standstill on high, and racing the motor when cold, are also classed as "fool tricks." : ?j ; ..; ..: Ji:.:...ji2j .' : v " r , rl. .., -.21.. - J! VIEW OK XEW PACIFIC HIGHWAY BRIDGE MJAR MVRTIi K CRKEK. Work on the new bridge over the South Umpqua river, on the Pacific highway 15 miles south of Roseburg, recently was completed, and the structure soon will bear the traffic of motor cars and trucks, which travel the hishway in greater numbers every day. The bridge, which is of the concrete.-arch type, with three major spans, is pronounced one of the finest and handsomest in the state. Its entire length Is given, as 630 feet, and) the length of each span Is 130 feet. The structure was built by Lindstrom & Feigenson, contractors, for the state highway department, and the cost was $78,000. The bridge was built to replace, an old wooden, structure from, which the- above picture, wat taken. The. neiw bridge also eliminates a dangerous railroad, crossing on, the old road by the overhead crossing shown at the right TIIE branch, which is now handling; this Y TD ELECTi ANNUAL MEETING OF OREGON "A. A. A." WEDNESDAY NIGHT, Coming Year's Activities to Be .Mapped Out by State Mo tor Association. The Oregon State Motor association, the state-wide organization of Oregon motorists affiliated with the American Automobile association, better known as the "A. A. A.", will hold its annual meeting Wednesday evening, January 18, at 8 P. M., in room 8 -A, Multnomah hotel. The reports of offipers for the past year will be heard and election of seven members of the board of 15 directors, whose terms expire at this time, will be held. While nominations to the board of directors will be called for prior to the election, a report has already been prepared and filed by the nominating committee of the association suggest ing seven prominent Portland motor ists for the board. The nominating committee slate is as follows: A. H. Lea. secretary of the state fair; Charles R. Prazler of the Cres cent Paper company; J. F. Slater of Dant & Russell. F. C. Stettler of the Stettler Box company; D. B. Seger, western smelting & Kenning com pany; I, Therkelsen, Braly Auto com pany, and George O. Brandenburg, editor of the Oregon Motorist, official monthly publication of the associa tion. Mr. Frazier, Mr. Stettler and Mr. Therkelsen are already members of the board and are suggested for re election. No other nominations have yet been made. Officers of the association will be chosen by the board of directors from among their own number at the first meeting of that body after the elec tion next Wednesday evening. While the past year has been a highly successful one for the motor association, members are looking for ward to an even bigger year In 1922 and general plans for the coming year will be mapped out at the meeting. In all probability the membership campaign for the association that has been in progress in Portland since early in December will be continued for some time in the late winter and early spring by the new administra tion in order that the association may go into Its active work of 1923 with a larger membership than ever before in its history. Thus far the membership campaign, both in Portland and else where in the state, has been highly effective and since last fall several hundred motorists have been added to tbe rolls. STAGE DRIVER HAS RECORD Chclialis Man Has Operated Cars Daily for Last 14 Years. CHEHAUS. Wash., Jan. 14. (Spe cial.) One of the most interesting automobile stage records to be found in the Pacific northwest is that of Crockett Rose, who dally makes the run from Riffe to Chehalls and re turn.

However, dur ing more recent years he has used the higher class cars effectively. Mr. Rose claims the distinction of having been in the automobile stage business longer than any. other driver In the state.

In some cars it is possible for cold air blowing on the inlet manifold to cause so much condensation that the forward cylinder will develop habit ual missing.

Even- man. woman and child In all civilized countries would like to own an automobile. This is both logcal and natural, as tho automobile rep resents the highest type "f Individual transportation which the human mind hat yet conceived. "It Is Just as natural to walk as It is to eat, and so long as human beings walk, there will ba a universal desire for efficient individual transporta tion. "Wars may com and wars may go. but people will still buy automobiles until some genius perfects a better method of transportation. Such a genius is nowhere in sight. The au tomobile industry is therefore based upon absolutely sound premises. The individual wealth of the world is Just as great as it was before the war; In fact, in some places it is much greater. People are not going I to quit buying because governments I may be temporarily hard up. Human I nature will respond to the Instinctive desire to buy and sell Just as rapidly as interferences with their commer cial intercourse are minimized or re moved. "It 'happens that there has boon held' In t'he United States the frreatest movement in the world's history look ing to the removal of Interferences with commercial Intercourse between the peoples of the earth.
