Babson Discusses Transportation Babson Park, Mass — Going back millions of years, tlie Evolu tionists ’laim that our earliest ancestors transported themselves by wiggling their tails in the wa ter: and finally developed legs from their fins so as to walk on dry land. Assuming these Scien tists are right although they may not be then these lizards finally developed into human beings. Hence. \u> will start our essay on Transportation by be ginning it with'WALKING. CHANGES ALWAYS OCCUR As our ancestors became tired if always walking, they used SLEDS hauled by various tamed animals—from oxen to horses. At the same time, they made CA NOES out of holloweo logs, which they finally developed into SAIL ING VESSELS. This was the state of the art when North America was settled, although CARTS with WHEELS were soon used to take the place of sleds. When 1 was a boy the only means of transportation was HORSES and BUGGIES, wagons, barges and ' hacks' which took people to weddings and funerals. RAILROAD lines were rapidly being constructed and STEAM BOATS performed an important 1 unction. Fares were cheap and Height rates low on all these inodes of transportation. Al though changes and improve ments were very gradual, yet they were continallv taking place.
