The San Francisco call., 1908-08-23

J
times IN Paris. but I tell you that not
one Of those cities can compare in
noise with London. II seems as though
/ q sounding board had been fixed up
/ there somewhere since was in the
British capital couple of years ago.
London now makes me feel as New
York did when I first visited that
! metropoIs-that / had come to the
noisiest place on earth. In London
at present you can not hear the church
! bells because OF the clatter in the
/ streets. The motor omnibuses make
/ more racket than the elevated roads
/ and surface lines of New York COM
! bined. while the 'honk honk' of the au-
/ tomobiles and the bells Of some of the
electric carriages drown even the rat
4 tie OF the motor omnibuses.
People also used to speak in soft,
/ gentle voices. especially the women, but
Z now they all seem TO shout They are
/ compelled 10 do so, suppose, to make
I one another hear. The street noises of
/ San Francisco sink into insignificance
1 with those OF Paris. London or New
York. There are 10000 other reasons
I why San Francisco is the best and most
live. but that one, in itself is sufficient"
