Getting Around a Difficulty.

Automobile manufacturers of the
United States do not purpose allowing
q serious matter, such as railway traf-
fc congestion. to Interfere with their
business, if they can help it. When
the big freight tie-Hp first began to
look formidable, automobile makers
faced a prospective loss running into
many millions of dollars, because, APP
parently, they could not secure deliv-
cries. Not until then did 1t occur to
them that, it an automobile was worth
anything at all, it should be al2e to de-
liver itself. Aud now what is known to
the trade.as the ''drive-awny" has been
inaugurated. The cars leave the fac
tory and arrive at their destination
under their own power. A drove OF
81 cars was recently sent from Clcve-
land to Chicago in this way. 1t is cx-
pected that the "~drive-away" will be-
come a fashionable thing during the
coming summer. = Christian Science
