SNOBS AND MOTORS. “What I want to know is: Why ik> so-called intellectuals always decry the motor-carP it is becoming the fashion to despise modern invention, and. above all. the internal-combustion engine,” writes Mr C. R. W. Neviuson, in the “Daily Express.” “Day alter day one hears talk of ‘beastly’ motorcars, ‘awful' motor-pumps, with people writing about horses and gigs, and sighing for the ‘good old days.’ rustic villages, and for the awful primitive countryside, which was more like a Drury Dane back-cloth and an Airierican tourist’s idea of England than anything else. The motor-car is being perpetually decried by a certain type of snob because it is now possible for thousands of others to destroy other people’s privacy in their week-end cottages, and to enjoy the freedom which for reasons unknown those same snobs consider their inviolable right.”
