Something, Of course will in the course Of time and
perhaps not very long time either take the place of the
movies, for the world moves rapidly and someone will
discover something to please the public more than the
line and that is what will after the auto? At pres
ent the most apt to be made would be the flying
machine and this is probably correct 1t would be quite
serious joke on the American people if after they had
spent millions on roads they should suddenly discover
they had but little use for them This suggests that it
might be the part Of wisdom to build as many good roads
now as possible for with the coming of the airshp the
strong backing now had by the good roads movement
from the auto would be lost if arships in
large measure, took the place of the joy wagons Of
course the roads will always be needed for the heavy haul
ing but the tourist and speed FANS the family auto parties
pleasure riders who want the best Of roads would
have interest in them the arship becomes cheap
enough to become general paything.
