Horse and Driver Alike

Elwood Haynes, of the Haynes-Apperson Co., Kokomo,

Ind., who recently made the long run from Kokomo to New

York in one of their carriages, says he believes the average

horse is afraid of a motor carriage, not because of the noise it

makes, but because it moves along without the aid of animal

power, and, therefore, has about it something uncanny to the

equine mind. Other users who have carefully observed the

conduct of horses in meeting motor vehicles on the road are

of the same opinion, and as a like bewilderment and terror may

be observed in many of the human beings who drive horses,

the mental processes of the horse and the man appear to be

quite similar after all
