Knocking Men Over—If a Guy Wants to Lose His Life To-Day He Hires a Taxi and Has the Driver Turn On the Gas. By Neal R. O’ Hara. Coprright, 1990. wr The Prem Publishing Os. (The New Tort frening World) a N the days when yeggmen flourished a lot of taxi men were bandits. Te I day they're all bandits, which goes (> show that times have changed. The highway robbers of to-day now have six cylinders instead of six sbooters. They bold up their prey on city streets instead of secluded spots. And they use a taximeter instead of a blackjack. Modern methods j triumph. The job ix painless now and the results are just the same— you get cleaned out. A straight Hue is the shortest distance between two points.

AS YOU WOULD BF IN RUSSIA. The New Yorker that's robbed to-day no longer looks into a muzzie— he looks into a meter. The meter registers derisive laughter as it looks in the customer's face.

Yep, the face on the barroom flo: jax done a fadeont, but the face ; om the taximeter is still knocking men over.

A.tax! driver is one of the _ | fow things that's still Hoensed. But the passengers provide the kick, | A taxi guy takes more chances than a politician at # church fair, His idea is to come as close to a smash as he possibly can. If a lamp post out- guesses him his life is all he's got to lose, The company owns the taxi- cab. In the old days when a guy wanted to suicide he hired a room and turned on the gas. Modern methods have changed al! that. If a guy Wants to lose bin life to-day be hires a tax! and has the driver turn on the gas, It's @ lot quicker and it lets you stay in the open air. In the days before the Baffalo nickels and the Detroit jiiney buses, hansom eabs were the things to take, You took ‘em externally with plenty of shaking. A hansom cab gave you all the pleasures of a . Sea trip, Including the mal de mare. You simply took ‘em to puss the time, and that’s all you did pass. But progress has scuttled the sea‘going cabs just like Prohibition has walloped the cabarets. We now live in the age of speed. The cabarets are closed fast and the taxicgbs registor a mile a mlaute even when they’re standing still, Us twentieth century folks must have excitement, and the taxi drivers see that wo get It. When you step into a taxi you pat your Ufe im the driver's hands. And when you get out you put your life's savings in the very same place. The guy that discovered a dollar won't carry you so far as it did in 1914 has Just completed a taxi ride. The meter farnished him the statistics, In the days when sarsaparilla was the chaser instead of the Main Drink, the waiter would hold you up till you got on the sidewalk and the taxi driver would hold you up for the rest. But now you get all the sensations of a swashbuckling spree by simply taking the ride alone. Such is modern science. A good stiff taxi ride will make you as unsteady as instalment payinents. The blowouts will sound like popping corks. When you look at the meter you'll surely see double and maybe a few dollars more, You fully realize that you're soaked ch pleasures cost money, we admit, But a taxi ride ix only once | [Ip a lifetime, especially if you hit a post.
