That's what he told me. Jack

He said Will I let him? If it's

LONDON. May 19.-After a week
of experience with London buses,
am hard put to understand why
English track and field athletes are
not the finest IN the world.
A London bus afofrds the finest
athletic training imaginable. A bit
hazardous, yes, but when q man,
day in and day out. can get cn and
off bus in this town, there is no
excuse for him ever being out-run,
out-vaulted or out-huTdled.
Take getting on for example, In
New York that's a simple task, for
there. a quaint old custom calls fer
the bus TO stop for passengers. IN
London buses don't stop. There are
signs every two or there miles to
say buses stop here but they're
a joke. Buses stop Caly when u
they run out Of gas; % reach a
dead end street; ~ the drive. gets
off for tea, and, "a the conductor
gets eff for tea.
To eaten a bus you've got to out
run il. This is nc simple task, TOR
! the buses here are filled with enor-
nous pride as well as horsepower,
and will strain their last valve in
outdistancing a fare. You can al
most hear them backfire with dis
gust on those rare occasions when a
! passenger bests them.
If you try to play fair with 2 bus
youll lose every time. Ycu simply
have to outsmart i. OutSmarung a
/ bus usually consists Of SpOttin5 It a

to be sporting and race on even
terms, but gave it up after a half
a dozen vain sprintS from Piccadil-
/ ly Circus to Marble Arch. Ny tactics
may not be cricket, but I'm catch

Unfortunately when you draw le-
vel with a bus your work is not
done. You still have TO get on, and
this is a task that requires superb
agility, timing, coordination Of mino
and muscle, and plain downright
