“When the Automobile arrived there were those what declared the horse to be the most perfect form of locomotion. All these attitudes result from a fear that the one will replace the other. Nothing of the kind has happened, we have simply increased our vocabulary. I see no one trying to abolish the automobile because we have the airplane.”
