i that n motor cat cannot go ho fast t as an airplane, by a long shot. For t great speed, when speed is useful, people take to the air nowadays, and ! will do so more and more. Speed 1 on the grouud happens to be more 1 thrilling, because the speeder and , the spectators are inoro' conscious of ■ the 'motion and because it is more r dangerous. Motor racing formerly > served u useful pur (ante tu the development of the automobile. It lias I become a frenzied sport, somewhat i more dangerous than bullfighting •iand hardly more useful. Nobody [ would have any business goiug 118 i miles an hour, or half that fust, on 1 any public road, and no sensible per- ■ son would want to do it. What is wanted now is not fast cars but cars made as safe and durable as possible. There is still room for progress I there.
