HORSE BROUGHT BACK

London, Aug 2O.-In England the
war has relegated the automobile to
the garage and brought the horse
back into its own. Owing to gasoline
restrictions, taxicabs are becoming
extremely scarce in London and the
hanson cabs of the old days have
been restored to popularity.
Dealers in dogcarts, gigs, traps,
carriages and all other kinds of
horse-drawn conveyances are reaping
a big profit. For six months prices
have been going up steadily, until
vehicles which were for disposal at
firewood prices owing to the vogue of
the motor car are now fetching more
than they cost when they were new.

munition millionaire, denied motor
excet for war work, is investing in a
