The automobile of the future will be weather-tight. Of course, thers will always be as many, if not more, towards one standard, And this standard model will be a weather- proof affair. Probably all glass sides, front, rear and roof. The glass sides will come down, of course, for warm weather. Cur- tains inside will help keep off sun when shade is wanted.

The car of the future will have no such thing as "driver's seat." 'Ald the seats in the car, except ones, Will be movéable. Driving will be done by a small control board which can be held in the lap. It will be connected to the mechanism by a flexible electric cable. A small finger lever, mot a' wheel, will guide the car, Another will ats tend to speed changes, buttons will light and warm the car, blow the horn, apply the brakes, everything, The driver will sit right or left, as he pleases, or even on country roads in the rear seat. Driving then will be what it ought to be, not a physi. cal, but a mental exercise, This is no wild guess, but the in- evitable end of p foreshadow- ed in the present developments.
