Research is getting closer and closer, hour by patient pace. transforming the buggy-like vehicle into a touring car with a polishe
hour, with a break-through perhaps just around the cor-
ner.
Research cannot be speeded up. It has to follow
a certain painstaking procedure. What appears to work
on white mice may be completely valueless in human
beings.
The men and women in the white laboratory gowns
must have absolute proof before they announce any for-
ward step. The scientific mind does not lend itself to
rosy promises.
But the work is progressing, and the breakthrough
may not be too far distant. A number of things have al-
ready been established. At this point, spurring the body
to make its own protection is being given close scrutiny.
The solution may come in a flash, in research lab-
oratories all over the world. No laboratory is trying to
get a scoop on any other research center. All of them
have the same general information, a record of the same
findings, the same experiments.
This all takes money. It might even take as much
money as landing an astronaut on the moon.

brass rail around the rear.
Entrance was by a step at the back, where a small door swung
open when required, and at times when not required. Two small
corner seats could be joined together into a three-seat arrangement
The victim who drew tk
extra seat had to play it cagey if the door latch was weak, other-
wise he would go catapulting off into space.
By 1906, the Cads had taken on a jaunty look. They had a real
radiator and an abortive hood. The rear seat had doors at the
sides, though the driver's section still was unprotected. You were
supposed to hang on.
On the running board was the tank of acetylene which fed the
polished brass headlights. .
And there was a windshield which folded down in the middle.
In wet weather, if you were smart, you stayed at home, because the
flapping side curtains with their isinglass peekholes let in as much
rain as they kept out.
The drive was still on the right, but shortly thereafter times
changed, and the left-hand drive became standard.
Hand-cranking was a thing of the past. The starter button was
here to stay. :
But ‘when you bought gas, you still strained it through a
chamois-skin and the chamois-skin always yielded dirt and other
debris.
On the other hand, you didn't pay as much for gas.
There were breakdowns galore. ag TY { E
A busy doctor could not afford breakdowns, so the mechanized
approach to the daily call schedule gave way to two brisk buggy
horses, one for the morning, one for the afternoon.
Both horses earned their board and keep, and they required no
gas, only hay or oats. They could be depended upon to keep going
in any kind of weather, a virtue not shared by the cars of that far-
off day. ¢
No high school boy of the present generation could possibly be
lieve in that first Cad.
Looking back at it, it does seem incredible. : +
Goodness knows how much it would be worth on the antique y
car market these days, but doubtless a handsome sum.
