SS ee OPENING THEIR EYES. 6 JAXICAB PEOPLE everywhere would make more money if they brought their rates to popular figures,” says the Boston Post, commenting upon New York’s taxicab scan- del. “But nowhere do they seem to have intelligence enough to un- derstand it.” : Intelligence will come. When we have dealt with the insolent egmbination of taxicab companies and hotel men, who run the cab service of this city, backed by Aldermen and police officials ready to reform as long as they can be sure of free rides, a great fight dawn upon the taxicab business hereabouts, Independent taxicab owners realised earlier what was coming. They reduced their rates without compulsion. A driver of an ind)- pendent taxi said yesterday: “At my present rate of a thirty cent *@fop,’ even though I cannot use the private hotel stands, I am making money. With public stands I could afford to reduce my faree etill further.” An electric coach company now seeking a franchise te run five-cent coaches on the main avenues of the city has an- nounced « plan for supplying a cheap taxicab service. 1 manufacture of motor vehicles has in twelve years risen to third place in importance among the industries of the country. The uso of, commercial care—trucks, delivery wagons, omnjbuses, ete.—has intreased by leaps and bounds. Thirty thousand of these vehicles were made last year. Never were they so cheap. Isn’t it about time the taxicab got into this class? More than a year ago The Evening World said: Nowhere do the taxi companies show more short-sightedness than in their poli-y of}keeping the taxicab a luxury. A big taxicab corporation working ‘the city to devise a carefully regulated system of cheap, popular bs, with public stands and a high grade of service, may count certainty on rich returns. - an said ‘Tes.’ ment the emall man was fi in the Light {s breaking. 66 five cents Saturday, Cumulative Woe! qn | Want that Carson woman next door to “ aaa w seein A tas pene ote ee eee .

There the girl's fresh beauty and rustic charm won her s score of admirers. Foremgst among her wooers was Lord Orville, jan-about-town. Between him and Evelina sprang up an attachment that steadily deepened into love, But there were obstacles that held them apart. One of these obstacles was a dandy named Lovel.

Incidentally she learned hin sad story. In France he hed fallen in love with the adonted daurhter of an Enelish nobleman.
