A MODERN BLESSING.
“To state quite bluntly that the whole face of the civilised globe has altered and is being altered by motorcars, to an extent which changes the attitude of the public towards morals, comfort, health, and even facial characteristics, savours of exaggeration at first sight,” writes Professor A. -VI. Low, in the “ Sunday Dispatch.” “ For a Ifortunate few the motor-car still possesses its sporting attraction, but to the majority it lias become a necessity; far more important than the doctor’s brougham and capable of bringing a new atmosphere into every phase of domestic or commercial life. The motor-car spells freedom. It is the most revolutionary agent that civilisation has known. It is helping to produce international peace and international language. It is changing + h> f:n*c of the world before our very eyes. An invention which brings with it a desire for education cannot but benefit mankind. Make no mistake. The changes that are taking place in civilisation are not all for the bad. Kor many of them the motor-car is entirely responsible.”
