VALUE OF AUTOMOBILES,
Will Greatly Enlarge Social and eusi-

With the universal adoption OF the
motor car. which we are told to ex
pect in the very near future. we shall
be able to live three times as much in
the same span OF years. our horizon
will he extended and our lives will be

comotive.
The average radius of the horse
keeper of to-day" says Mr.. Norman,
is twelve miles. With a car of ten
or twelve horsepower the radius of
the whole family is comfortably thirty
miles.
The area of circle whose radius
is twelve miles is 452 square miles.
but the area of one whose radius is
thirty miles is 2,s27 square miles.
Thus the car owner has a sphere of
activity exceeding by 1915 square
miles that of the horse owner, with all
its additional opportunities of inter
course with his fellows.
In other words. the possession of a
car multiplies the contents and the
effective sphere of mans life.
Think of what it means. Every
friend within 5000 square miles can
be invited, any place Of worship or
lecture or concert attended and busi-
ness appointment kept, the train met
at any railway station, every post and
telegraph and telephone office within
reach, every physician accessible, any
place reached for golf or tennis or
fishing or shooting. and with it all
fresh air inhaled under exhilarating
conditions. 1t is revolution in daily
life.
The influence upon the community
will be no less than upon the individ-
ual. Cur country districts will revive.
The old coaching roads and coaching
inns will once more be thronged with
travellers. We shall know the land
