PARIS CABS MUST BEHAVE

New Regulations, on American Models, Cause Drlvefs Deep Discontent. Paris. —The cochmen and chauffeurs of Paris are muttering and protesting over the new series of regulations relative to street traffic. Frenchmen dislike changes of any kind, and it is not.strange that the veteran Parisian cab drivers should grumble over any rules which pretend to tell them how they shall drive through the streets of Paris which they know so Intimately. Louis Lepine, the prefect of polioe, has, however, become a believer in the system of the American inventor, William Phelps Eno, which has already been so successfully applied in New York and London. Each coachman and chauffeur has been given a little book dealing with keeping to the right side of the road, the rights and duties of hirers and drivers respectively, and such questions as signals, speed and the treatment of horses. There Is also a special page devoted to the regulation of traffic on the world-famous avenue, the Champs Elysees.
