Scientific Research and Invention 135 automobiles. Both the car and truck alike con- tribute to the fullness of life on the modern farm. The truck permits rapid haulage to the railways and prompt shipping to whatever markets offer the best demand at the moment. The motor car not only saves the farmer's time (a vital matter in view of labor shortage) but also gives his wife and children contact with the social advantages of the town. Churches, lectures, schools and the theater are all available to the family which owns a car. As a consequence of this inventive triumph, road construction is going forward in the total yearly investment of $1,500,000,000 for construction and maintenance. American surfaced highways now total 625,000 miles, which is approximately one- tenth of all the highways in the world, surfaced or otherwise. The automobile industry has “hooked up” with other revolutionary inventions, the radio, motion and sound pictures, and the network of telephone, telegraph and the electric traction lines, purveying to the fundamental need of communication of all sorts. This is responsible for the great real estate developments that have taken place along parkways and suburban boulevards. The transformation into a motorized existence helps further to explain the increased “tempo” of production and the rapid accretion in value of the securities of all industries that have been affected by the speeding-up processes of scientific research and invention.
