Why 1t Is the Best and the Cheapest
In the World.
Everyone knows, either from ex-
perience or hearsay, that the cab serv-
ice in London is the best and cheap
est in the world, but few of us know
why. So when 1 was over there /
made it a point to find out"
The woman who occupied the other
seat in the hanson looked as If she
would like to hear the result of his
Investigations. 'It is mainly due" he
continued, ''to the fact that licenses to
drive cabs and buses through the Lon
don streets are hard to get. An appli-
cant must furnish the most satisfac-

fed. Then he undergoes such a rigid
examination as to his knowledge of
streets and localities that but little
more than half the candidates manage

per cent of the applicants come to
grief during this test, as the slightest
infraction of the rules of the road or
the exercise of bad judgment in con-
trolling or guiding his horse means
absolute failure. If successful, the
applicant is impressed with the i'm

in his cab to headquarters without de-
lay and told that an attempt to make
excessive charges means the forfeiture
of his license. The result is compara-
tive safety to the passengers in cabs
and n reasonable certainly that there
will be no attempt upon the 'cabby's'
part to overcharge his fare."-New
