AT THE CARTER MOTOR CAR PLANT.

mobile city is demonstrated by the fact
that there are now approximately 3ooo
cars owned here, and with the improved
business condition following in the wake
Of the election it is regarded as sure that
there will be an increased number OF
sales of automobiles here during the next
year. Many Washingtonians are becom-
ing automobile enthusiasts and the IN
terest manifested by Washington people
in automobile events is increasing.
Much has been said and written ABOUT
industrial Washington. 1t is possible
that an automobile manufacturing enter
prise would be of great advantage. The
5000 cars owned here cost no less tnan
an average of $1,000 each This means
that within the last few years at least
So, 0OO, 900 has been invested in automobiles
in the District of Columbia. This money
has been sent to other cities and towns
where the automobiles have been manu-
featured If Washington had owned an
automobile manufacturing plant during
this period, it is declared. a considerable
proportion of this S3,OOO.OOO would have
remained here. and in addition there
would have been many millions brought
here from the sale of cars outside of the
city, and the money would have been
largely spent here for skilled labor and
ma terial.
Many other cities are now deriving great
benefit from automobile manufacture.
dealers there is no reason why this city
should not derive similar benefits.
The Carter Motor Car Corporation has
been the first to see the advantages OF
an automobile manufacturing plant here.
and has erected and equipped the first
building of a plant at Hyattsvtlle. 1t Is
now at work in this building and mate
rails are arriving for several cars. Adj
ditional material for larger models is
expected to arrive by December ~. 1t
is expected that some of the cars, which
are now under construction, will be ready
for shipment by January !. This COM
pany is planning to build fifty cars or
each model of the Washington car and
fifty cars of each model of the twin-en-
CINE car. making 800 cars in all. within
the next year. The building in which the
company is now operating is 200 feet long
and go feet wide. Plans have been drawn
and contracts are being let for material
for another building of the same size,
which. when completed, will give ample
room for the construction of the 800 cars.
The new Cadillac 30 arrived at the
saiesrooms of the Cook & Stoddard Com
pany yesterday morning and received a
warm reception. Mr.. Stoddard says that
the new car aroused more enthusiasm
than any other new car he had ever seen.
The motor bus for the 18th street her.
die route is being built and will be here
about December Is. Owing to the fact
that the motor is being built in one city
and the herdfc carriage part in another,
no photographs of it have been seen here.

ZoRoAsTER NOT A. MYTH.
Jackson Described Him as Power
full Force in Early Religion.

From the Boston Transcript.
Zoroastar was the subject of the second
of the Lowell lectures given by Prof.
Jackson in his course on '"The Ancient
Religions of Persia a lecture that veri-
fed the suggestion made in the earlier
paper that this ancient faith is OF. inter-
est because 1t has points OF contact with
our own. The enumeration of some or
these was the keynote Of the lecture.
! ''It is to the east" said the lecturer.
"that we look for light; It Is there the
day breaks, and amid the darkness that
surrounds many primitive religions 1t Is
interesting to catch here and there the
first glimmerings that betoken the coming
of the day. Heather as these religions
are thought to be. they caught at times
true glimpses of the light and those early
teachers before the Christian era. Buddha.
Confucius. Socrates, seem to break for
moment the darkness that was to be dis
PEELED at last by the Christ.
"In this group of great men Zarathush-
cient Iran, holds q most distinguished
place. Even great thoughts Of the Chris
tian religion are due to Zoroaster. Be
tween India and Iran kinshlp exists,
and a parallel may well be drawn be-
tween the teachings of Buddha and those
of Zoroaster. Both were filed with zeal.
both inspired with righteous hope. both
tried to rescue men from ignorance and
SIM and both founded creeds. But the ma
ture Of the men was widely different.
The faith of Buddha was more philosoph-
ical; that Of Zoroaster more sympathetic.
The Indian had quiet repose; the Persian
struggles and action. Buddha, overcome
with wretched existence, could nnd
only the selfish Niryana. Zoroaster. with
equal woe. ministered to relieve the suf-
fering of others. The religion OF Buddha
was perhaps more universal; that OF
Zoroa Ster more national.
"It is perfectly true that there was cast
over him shroud Of mystery and legend
and that, like Buddha. he came under the
ban Of mythology. Darmestetter. for ex-
ample, wrote Of him as one of the phases
of the storm god. But this discussion was
but a passing cloud, and we now see much
more clearly the personality of Zoroaster
He stands forth wildly In truth: in the
Gathas he is living being, fighting stout
ly the fight Of faith. The date of his birth
according to the best authorities. was
$50 B. c., and that Of his death 5SS. He
appeared as a prophet before the closing
years of the Medean empire and finished
his work just as the rising wave of Per-
sian power came to a crest under Cyrus
Zoroaster stands as the oldest type and
representative of the laws of the Medes
and Persians. His teachings had already
taken deep root in Iran when the Jews
were carried into captivity in Babylon
and Daniel came to interpret the mystic
handwriting on the wall. He was the
contemporary Of Thales, of Scion and of
the seven sages of classic renown. In
point of time he was the forerunner of
Confucius and antedates Buddha. He was
one of the magi. an older member of the
same religious body whose wise men went
to Bethlehem in homage"

are seldom able to determine at once
whether the measures adopted are along
the right lines. With the aid of the ap-

besides being simple and convenient to

the uncertain and unreliable ocular OBJ
servation of the attendant or doctor has
heretofore been relied on for determining
changes and the propriety and nature OF
future treatment.

The motor car has given a zest to life

buy their cars not in mere ones or twos,
