TAXICABS AFFECT

Send Madrid Horses to the
 Bull Ring

Madrid. Sept 50 tPD - Horse cabs are still in evidence in Madrid, but rarely are they hired for business or pleasure trips. Their mainstay of existence is to follow funeral pro- sessions to the cemeteries.
 Tho advent or the taxi, which was unknown six years ago in Madrid, has virtually killed the cabdriver's trade and sent his broken-down horse 10 the bull-ring to be de spatchod quickly on the points of the bulls horns.
 Nobody knows what has become Of tn" cabbios. There remain about 100 horse cabs in the city in spite of the advent of more than 2,000 automobile taXis. Many of the younger drivers have turned to taNi-driving for a living, and they make good at it, for they know the winding streets and narrow. lanes.
 Others have retired, but many jarvics remain, sometimes as per m1ncnt coachmen in cabs provided by clubs for members convenience, and others picking up fares" who still love to drive through the streets in the afternoons as they did when they were young.

 Here is the last state into which one would expect the liquor forces

Air Flights in England
 POpularize Gum Chewing

London, Sept. 30 (uP)--Increase participation in flying by the pub lie is beginning to break down the British prejudice against gum chew ing.
 Originally taken up by Royal Air Force pilots at the recommendation of the Air Ministry the habit of gum chewing while in flight has been copied by passengers on the London to Paris air route The req son fo~ this custom is the discovery that the action of the jaws in gum chewing keeps the air passages be- tween the mouth and the inner ear open and prevents deafness through the closing of these passages by changes in air pressure at different attitudes.

BALD0CK NOT LIKELY
TO REMAIN BANTAM
By the Associated Press.

British boxing experts are of the
opinion that Teddy Baldock, con-
queror of Archie Bell of New York,
will not remain for long In the ranks
of the bantamweights.
Baldock is naturally thin, and at
every public appearance, the sports
writer's say, he gives the impression
of having worked off weight that he
could Ill afford to lose.
This is not actually the case, but
as Baldock. being only 10, is still
growing. it is thought probable that
next Winter he will find difficulty in
keeping within the bantamweight
limit.
