PARIS HERO TAXIS
MAKE LAST STAND
Cars That Took Troops
To Marine Now
Obsolete.

PARIS, June IS. The famous
Marine" takes, that saved France in
the early days of the war. are soon
going to be hard pressed to hold
their own in the peace-time battle
for passengers.
Already their former undisputec
control Of the taxi field is being
challenged by a fleet Of braEd-new
vehicles de luxe, with shiny exte-
riors and beautifully upholstered
interiors. and a few Fords. which
have taken their places In the taxi
queues in steadily increasing num-
bers this spring.
Drive Is Under Way.
While the interlopers are not suf-
ficiently numerous yet to put the
veterans out OF business, the fatal
certainty with which passengers
pass the old takes by and climb into
the new ones just as long as a sim
gle newcomer remains in line, shows
clearly what the future has in store
With the elimination of tho Marr"
cars-the rattlesome, tough little
two-cylinder Rensults-one of the
quaintest institutions in Paris will
pass into history.
The Partisan taxi Is in class by
itself. A Partisan could recognize a
Partisan taxi in any place on the
globe. without the aid of his sense
of sight. once the door clattered shut
behind him. 1t smells different and
feels different. No other known We
hicle can sound as near like falling
to pieces the next moment and yet
continue to hold together year after
year.
And the Paris chauffeur. with his
broad shoulders that blot out the
landscape, his red face and shrewd
bright eyes, his grave black beard
or mustsche, his quick repartee. is
also unique in the transportation
world. 1t would be difficult to think
Of either separated from the other.
Make New stand.
In 1914 these rotund drivers
changed their green uniforms for
blue and red and transported
Frances army to the Marine in such
quick time and in such numbers that
the French were able to stop the ad
vancing Germans.
And now the very same vehicles
or rather those that weren't shot To
pieces on duty. are fighting their
own fight to escape the scrap iron
heap.
When their time comes-well
many a postwar American tourist
probably will draw a sigh of relief
But the old-time genuine lovers OF
Paris will pause and mediate when
the last little old, jolly old, Marine
taxi clicks its last fare.
