BIG TREE MOTOR SPIRIT § 1 «r Suppose BERNARD SHAW bad to write about BIG TREE facAnowfedteme/rfo to Leo Cheney. MOTOR SPIRIT “It is typical of the universal stupidity that men should believe in the existence of a motor spirit. There is no such thing. Conan Doyle himself would not advance such a preposterous absurdity. I can quite believe that it is necessary to use a volatile and inflammable liquid for the propulsion of those honking vehicles under which many men spend their Saturday afternoons — but I deny that any begoggled automobilist has a right to call that liquid a motor spirit. In New Zealand no sane motorist (and there are surprising numbers of them still about) ever asks for “motor spirit.” Being enlightened he asks for BIG TREE. The statement that his car gets better as a result, that he saves money, and spends much less time tinkering with the mechanical fripperies of his vehicle appears to be true. What little mentality is left in the world seems to be more or less equally divided between the Antipodes and myself.” BIG TREE MOTOR SPIRIT tI7A
