AUTOS TAKE PLACE
OF RAILROAD CARS
Curtailment of Trafiaby U. S. Gives
Motors Opportunity.

Ever since the government took
over the railroads" said Edwin H.
Neumeyer. of the Mitchell agency,
the other day. there has been a
ourtailment or passenger trafic of
over 10 per cent in certain sections
Of the country. which would have
proved disastrous from q business
standpoint, but for the automobile.
"Just as the motor truck relieved
the freight problem In the short
hauls and some long ones also. 30
has the automobile relieved pas
senger trafilc at this time.
The automobile is a necessity In
these days. where transportation
means the saving of time and
money; and the public. having once
been educated to flying along the
highways and moving goods at
from fifteen to thirty miles an hour.
will not go back to walking and
slow moving and expensive horse
hauling.
Season and weather are not to
be considered as in past years,
when they were looked upon as a
handicap to business. And yet It
10 not so long ago that with the
first frost the motor car was lock-
cd up in the garage. But not to-
day: the motor car has shown us
the short cuts and the time to be
saved. SO 1t is used the year round.
The recent snowstorms have
not curtailed trafflc as they would
haves a few years ago. and the an
swer again is the automobile. The
mail man has been able to follow
his regular schedule in the rural
districts. The delivery system in
the city has come through in fine
shape, thanks to the passenger
car"

Scaled Mount Ararat.

Mount Ararat in Armenia is now
generally believed to have been the
spot where Noah left the ark. Not
until 1920 did mountain climber sue
coed in scaling it's steep assent. Doc
tor Parrot, an -Englishman, achieved
that distinction. For centuries the
mountain had defied the efforts Of
mountain climbers, and the Christian
eccleslactics of Armenia asserted, as
an article Of faith, that Jehovah had
made the peak his earthly home, and
that no human could possibly reach the
top and escape divine vengeance. When
Doctor Parrot declared that he had ac-
complished the ascent the priests re-
fused to believe him and they cling to
this attitude Of skepticism In spite of
the fact that dozens Of explorers since
have stood on the top Of the Greater
Ararat and gazed out over Armenia
from an altitude Of 1900 feet.
