In a letter recently received from a
correspondent in South America. he says:
There are many striking Illustrations
OF the fact that the world is growing

shrinking process. which is always going
on as the interior continues TO cool, but
/ to the bringing INTO closer contact and
relationship of one country with another.
But a few years ago to go TO another
country was almost the equivalent of
going to another world. The railroad, the
steamship, the telegraph. and the tele-
phone have been great distance elimIna-
tors As i journey through these far-off
South American countries there are evil
dences on every hand that good old Uncle
Sans country is not far of. The cash
register. the harvesting and thrashihg

products from fRr-on countries are every
where in evidence. Yesterday. on my
! journey from the interior to Rio de
Janeiro, the train stopped at Sac Paulo.
| II noticed a big modern touring car in
waiting and my curiosity to know from
whence II came led me 10 watch for its

The automobile mufier cut-out is
doomed.
After a battle that has lasted for
years-a battle in which sanity and
sportsmanship have been arrayed against
ignorance an intolerance-a large num-
ber of cities and communities have
passed laws which prohibit, either for
the entire day or that part between
darkness and dawn, the uselessly noisy
tactics OF the cut-out fiend.
London has taken the lead. and Eu-
rope is falling into line. New York's
aldermen have some prohibitive legisla-
ton before them, which win probably
be passed That such laws will become
general In very short time is the hope
OF large and powerful element in the
automobile industry. Thoughtful men
know that the cause Of motoring is Of
