Taxi Shortage
Causes Kicks
In London
LONDON, Feb. 8. —The taxi shortage
in London has caused the public to fill
the mail bags of hte local newspapers
with complaints regarding the insol
ence of drivers and the whistling nuis
ance. During rush hours, especially
during dinner and theatre times, driv
ers often refuse to take fares unless
they chance to be going in the direc
tion the driver favors. This is due to
the rule that drivers when not carrying
passengers must pay for their own
gasoline. A movement for a law to
prevent the use of whistles to call taxis
is suggested, but while putting down a
nuisance, it would not help transpor
tation facilities.
The real trouble is traced to the en
listment of competent drivers. Because
of this, some of the taxi companies
have temporarily retired from busi
ness. Scotland Yard has hindred the
substitution of new drivers by a re
fusal to relax on the strict geograph
ical examination of former days. Then,
every candidate had to show an inti
mate knowledge of London’s streets
and by-ways. Many women could eas
ily qualify on the mechanical side and
show a fair general knowledge of Lon
don, if the rules were relaxed. Mean
time, Londoners who used to look
down on plebian modes of travel are
taking to the undergrounds and the
busses, which maintain excellent ser
vice notwithstanding the war.

Pearl Industry
1 hrives In The
German Seas
BERLIN, Feb. 8. —It is not generally
1 known, but Germany has a not incon
siderable pearl industry, and in the
last 100 years many thousands of the
gems have been fished up out of the
waters of the various German rivers.
Bavaria has been the most produc
tive portion of the Empire. A total of
155,880 pearls, it is estimated, were
feund there between 1814 and 1857 ,and
the annual aggregate has only decreas
ed as the waters of Bavarian rivers
have been spoiled by various industrial
projects.
The most productive river has al
ways been the Elster in Saxony, which
for centuries has been rented to one
family by the state. The year-in, year
cut average has shown that from three
to four pearls can be obtained from
every 100 mussels fished up, and that
one out of every 18 pearls is of special
value.
About 500 pearls of value have been
taken from the Elster by the family in
question in the last decade, the sum
mer of 1915 being the most productive,
with 47 good examples.
