Though the Tamiami Trail has
brought the chariot of modern civillza-
tion-the automobile-to the heart of
the Everglades. the primitive lure of
these jungles and Swamps remains UNI
sullied. Lovers of wild life going South
this Fall will find the highway excep-
tionally interesting and attractive.
Game on both sides of the Tamiami
Trail is protected, hence it is plentiful.
The woods are full of deer, panther,
bear and other native animals, and the
Swamps are thick with alligators. Pass
ing motorists can observe many beau
tiful birds flying about or wading in
the SwampS. Moreover, eagles may be
seen at any hour of the day soaring
over the treetops. Incidentally too,
there is excellent fishing in the streams
and the inland lakes along the Tamiami
Trail and along the Gulf Coast.
AS there are but few sparsely settled
sections adjacent to the Tamiami
Trail, speedy trips are assured tourists
who may not care to tarry along the
way. The journey from Fort Myer. on
the Gulf Coast, to Miami, on the East
Coast, a distance of 200 miles, can be
completed in four hours by those who
are in hurry, and has been made in

DR.. Tigerts letter to the American
Automobile Association follows: w.
During my seven years as United
States commissioner of education It
has been a pleasure and source of
qualification to me to witness the hui
manitarian efforts of the American
Automobile Association to reduce the
toll of death and injury to the children
attending the schools of the Nation
I am confident that your efforts have
done much not only toward saving lives,
but also toward making the coming
generation more safety-minded.
Endorsed by All.
The cause of safety on the streets
and highways is one which every man
and woman can most heartily indorse
1t is cause that affects almost every
child and every home. I have long
realized that national safety can be
brought about primarily through edit
cation and have therefore watched
WIN interest the success OF lnCulCatln2
this message into the minds of the
young. Much of this success has been
in the schoolroom. Safety education
in the school. however, is only begin
ming. and the efforts of your motor
clubs to get safety lessons into the
curricula of all schools is altogether
praiseworthy
THE advent of the automobile and
the subsequent development of modern
highways, has made possible the con-
solidating of rural schools. The result
has been to give to some rural fam
lilies practically the same educational
facilities found in metropolitan areas.
Therefore, the problem of safety is be-
coming important in the suburban as
we'll as the urban centers.
within a few days shall terminate
my services as United States commits

of the University of Florida and will
take with me the thoughts of your
valuable contributions to safety as It

Conditions Prior to 1921.
Prior to 1921 the exports of Ameri-
can-built motor cars held to no definite
trend. The percentage of the total
production exported was low one year,
high the next, and low again the next.
But, following the imitation period at
the close of the war, this phase of the
industry assumed more stable and
definite trend.
Year after year since 1921, except in
the record production year OF 1925,
automobile exports have been an in
creasingly important factor in the in
dustry. The number of cars exported,
compared with those that were pro-
duced, have, with the exception noted
above, assumed an ever larger per-
centage of the total.
