The whole trouble seems to be that the

Of course modern traffic constitutes a
problem, but can not those charged with

solved.
Christopher Columbus set out to prove
that the world was round. The practical
lesult of his voyage of discovery was to
be a shorter route to the riches of India.
Incidentally he bumped against the shores
of an unknown continent and discovered
America which had likewise been discov
ered some 500 years previous by the
Norsemen.
