Taxi Drivers Are Praised
As Cautious and Careful
To the Editor OF The Star:

10 the Editor OF The Star:
Permit me to observe that. even
though the published statistics indi-
cate that taxicabs have more than
their share of accidents numerically,
they prove nothing as to their capa-
bility. for the reason that taxicabs
travel about the city from IL to ls
hours day. whereas the private autos.
excepting trucks and delivery wagons.
rarely spend more than one hour a
day travelling. Mostly they are hog
ging public space
nave travelled with a good MANY
OF the Independent taxis, as well az
association taXis, and can testify that
the TAXI drivers. as a rule. are cautious
ana careful drivers-far more SO than
tnose hogs of the street. the bus and
pig truck drivers. For the taxi driver
10 preak laws and have accidents costs
hlm money, whereas for the others
able lawyers are already engaged by
those who pay the bills.
travelling in taxis has confirmed my
experience as pedestrian that there
are too many autoists willing to take
chances In their foolish hurry TO get
somewhere, especially into Maryland,
and too many chasing across intersec-
tions on yellow and red lights at an
accelerated pace IN O pretense Of an
attempt to keep the letter of the law.
which they do not obey.
The suggestion Of IS cents fare for
two miles and cents for each sddi-
tional one-third mile reminds me of a
storekeeper who advertised rice at 8
cents pound, three pounds for a
quarter. Five cents for each half mile
would look more sensible.
AS a matter Of fact, is not nearly all
Of this agitation, as well as police
heckling CT the taxis, backed by friends
OF the traction and railroad subsidiary
CAB companies, so as to secure to them
monopoly Of the business at wartime
rates? Since the war power and other
services have lowered in price, whereas
traction fares are raised to guarantee
a per cent return, which other in
vestments cannot make. Aping the
steam roads, thought invincible
through legislative influence, they have
bullied themselves out Of business,
which has shifted to better and
cheaper service. Street car fare is one
OF the biggest taxes on the worker and
twice what It should be.

"There isn't a cat in my neighbor-
hood" he said. and yet we do not
have as many birds a. we ought to-"
This is common impression, that
cats keep away birds, but a little OBJ
servation proves its fallacy.
The gentleman stated the case; there
wasn't cat, but there weren't birds,
either.
1t takes more than . cat, or many
Of them. for that matter. to keep the
sOngsters away.
In the Spring they return to the
cities and the suburbs. They descend
in numbers upon yards large and small;
they take possession Of old nests, and
build themselves new ones.
AS far as we have been able to OBJ
serve. the presence OF q cat Is dis
tinctly minor confederation as far as
the bird Is concerned.
A dog will alarm bird quite a.
much as a cat.
Indeed, noises and sudden movements
Of any kind. will have the effect Of
keeping the birds away.
Only few birds seem to possess q
real instinct which tells them to avoid
the presence of the cat.
Some birds, notably the blue jay, ac-
tually like to bait Tom.
Nothing gives one OF these handsome
birds more pleasure than to lure a cat
up tree, where It Is ut somewhat of
a disadvantage. but where the jay Is
thoroughly at home.
Not only does the jay not fear the
cat, but he acts as an alarm for the
other birds which do not seem to sense
the oncoming of sly puss.
Birds will carry on their activities
In yards where cats reside Just the
same as II there were no cats.
The nature lover must attempt to
look at the things Of nature In some
what the same way that nature does.
He must realize that nature Is not
mice" in the way that cultivated
human beings are said to be nice"
A bird more or less?
What's that to Mother Nature?
She has millions more Of them; Just
as she has innumerable pine cones In
her forests and billions Of fishes ir
her seas.
To listen to some persons 60 on, you
might thing that every time q cat
catches . bird nature was undergoing
some sort Of cataclysm land no pun
intended.
Even the greatest friend Of cats will
admit that his favorites do catch birds
So do dogs, for that matter.
Dogs often rush at birds. Just as they
do at cats. with exactly the same pur-
pose In mind.
That they do not catch them Is due
to their comparative clumsiness, not
to any good will on their part.
Dogs cannot be said to be the men
ace to bird life, therefore. that cats
are, for nature intended the latter to
live by catching small things.
The problem Of the cat ought to b
locked at. in simple fairness, from the
standpoint Of nature. rather than from
the likes or dislikes Of any one person
Here Is an animal which mankind
has adopted and priced for Thousands
OF years for precisely the qualities
which some proclaim today 1t should
not possess!
The cat Is 4 hunter, and . hunter
he will remain.
The point which the opposition
ought to keep in mind Is that he is not
and never has been. the fearful hunter
he has been pictured by them.
He is good. but not that COED!
To listen to the cat haters any one
might think that our feline friends
were going around with their mouths
perpetually stuffed with birds.
The truth Is that one seldom sees a
cat with a bird. even II he happens tc

composed Of three novelettes, gives q
