London, July 22 - Just as the dapper little Paris gendarme with his cute shoulder cape, waxed mus tache and enameled white club amuse the visitor so does the London cab and bus driver There is no free masonry among them and their wells of sarcasm are deep and acrid. They fairly spit venom.
 Each is a road hog in a city of narrow streets. They mock and abuse each other and exchange un- printable epithets. They have no wit and their lives seem a perpetual growl. This morning driving to Fleet street my driver locked horns yer bally with a bus Jehu. The air turn cd sulphuric blue.
 He nearly unhinged my neck drop ping behind the busman and jockey ing in front of him to unloose a flood of billingsgate. His parting shot as he swung dizzily around a corner on two wheels was: Your 'ol woman, she was ovled 10 the gizzard again last night Another way of saying the busman's wife was drunk.
 The London bobby however, Is a totally different species. He is more than a policeman. He is a. guide, counsellor and friend. He is especial ly considerate toward the provincial and the foreigner. Address one of them as inspector" and the flattery will make him your slave.
 The chin-trapped bobby breathes law and order - the triumph of the uniform. If he rebukes you be hum- ble. l know from experience. One time here when I was bit more of a smartie than now l sassed a bobby. He cured me of sucking eggs from then to now.
 London, as you know, is sartor- ial heaven for the male shopper. l always strike out for the Burlington Arcade to see the haberdashery shirt, hat, and boot shops. Many articles are priced in dollars-such as: "s507 approx. the first time England has ever bowed or even nodded toward the dollar.
 The most masculine of thorough fares are Savile Row. St, James street and Pall Mall. The predomin- ate type of well dressed Lon ndoner is habited of mornings in black coat striped trousers, black derby at the proper angle. white soft collared 1f course spatted and monocled.

An investigation Of the accidents also reveals that 30 to 4N per cent Of the accidents occurred while children were playing in roadWays and that few accidents happen to children living near a public park or playground. where all facilities are offered to the young, sometimes under adult supervision.
 Let there be no objections to more playsrounds in New Britain when and if needed. IL is city's moral duty to stimulate children from keeping off the streets.
 On playgrounds they are safe from the danger of being manned or injured by automobiles.

 MINIMUM FINE IMPOSED
Large Family Makes Judge Lenient Local Organizations Plan Christ mas Parties Schools Close To- morrOW-Items.

Peter Bakanas, 21, of kcnsington. who was arrested in New Britain last night by Policeman Edward Lee for driving with no lights and later found to be operating the autoHo- bile while under a suspension of license pleaded guilty and was fined the minimum charge Of Sl00 in the New Britain police court this morn ing by Judge Morris D. Sake.
 Bakanas' case presented more in terest than the usual run of offenses that come before the attention of a police court judge. Although the de- tcndant was driving while his li cense was under suspension. there seemed to be mitigating circum- stances. Bakanas testified in court this morning that he was support ing d large family and was driving to New Britain yesterday 10 obtain bread for the family. When Police man Lee stopped him for driving without lights he asked for his drivers license. kakanas said he had none. that 1t had been suspend ed on March ,. 1929, but that last night was the first time he had driven a car during the interval. He was driving then, he said. only to get bread for his family.
 Bakanas testified that he was the sole breadwlnner in large family and had been the only one working for some time. He further stated that he would not have been driving the automobile at the time of his ar rest had he not been forced to get food for the family. The court room was filled at the time of the hearing were touched by Bakanas' story, No less so was Judge Sake,
 The judge cited the seriousness Of the offense but expressed regret at having to impose a. fine because Of the worthiness of Bakanas' efforts The fine of sl00 is the minimum that can be imposed in an offense of this type. The judge added that if he found it necessary he would gladly remit some of the fine later and ar range for it to be paid piecemeal so that it would not seriously interfere with the upkeep of the large family which the defendant supports.
