THE BUS DRIVER'S EYEBROWS
CABIN
A LAMENT AGAINST ITS
COMFORT.
London omnibus drivers are an- poyed. And it is all because the London General Omnibus Com- pany have tried to do something towards their comfort.
Every traveller has admired thei
neat little cabins which are now
being fitted on all the omnibusca to protect the unfortunate drivers from the elements. And every traveller has said "how nice" and "how much pleasunter it must be for the drivers." But every tra- veller is wrong.
The omnibus driver, it seems, yearns for the wide open space. He loves to feel that hot sun bent-
Ing on his face; he glories in the nin ns sweeps across him. But
above all he likes the tan and wea- ther-beaten appearance which only the English climate at its worst and best can give him.
