I sneered a rich Athenian, And the aman he addressed was one of th first and greatest of Progress-Makers—Socrates. This sage, who revolutionized religion, thought aud education, looked more like a comic-paper holo than a genius. ‘Ho was shirtless, shoeless and wrapped In a tattered solled robe that served him alike in winter and summer.

Socrates was the son of u statue-seller and learned his father’s trade. He also studied astronomy, geometry and all the scant learning of his tive These studies and the religion thut went with them wore considered amplo education. But Sogrates wanted. more.

The broad future field of the au-/ tomobile is its use .in carrying) freight and as a general power device. Every farm needs power to pump water, to churn cream, to saw wood, to cut the feed’and, in general, to save physical labor. The auto- mobile can be adapted to ploughing on level ground. Its greatest farm use would be in transporting the products to market. A fatm horse is slow on the road. For him to take and draw a wagon eight or ten miles and back is a long day's work.

Ten cents a pound will allow a good profit for castings and drop forgings when tured out standardized and in large quantities. Shop assembling is not expensive where the product is large. The bodies may be made as simple as ordinary wagons. The-largest remaining item of cost is the tires, for which-some substitute would be devised, less comfortable perhaps than the pneumatic rubber tire, but much longer lived and costing less. Anyhow, an auto- mobile whose maximum speed would not exceed eight or ten miles an hour would not need the same kinds of tires and springs as touring cars and racing machines, : A few years’ competition will diminish the number of manufacturers i making costly automobiles.
