Pessimists who are complaining that
more garages are being built than
homes, and lamenting the day the
world went awheel, will have some
thing more To charge TO the motor
car If they accept the Indictment of
the London Times that the speed
wagon is killing off the flowers and
gardens. The theory is that the rapid
motion of the tires pulverizes the dust
OF the highway or street into such
fine particles that when they settle
upon flowers and plants they choke
the leaves, prevent the plants from
breathing, and they wither and die.
This Is in addition - the charge that
oiling the roads kills off vegetation
alongside. The old-time dust on the
horse-used roads was, il is argued.

large compared TO the fine spray in
