WARTIME IS QUEER TIME
LONDON, Sept. 7. Wartime in England: •
An average of 70 persons a day lose their gas masks in London.
Bus conductors here and elsewhere are being victimised during black-outs by passengers who give them foreign coins of the same size as shillings and sixpences
Women evacuated from London to Taunton are becoming bored with country life. Some of them already have returned.
And London is altogether more friendly than usual. Stranger speaks cheerfully to stranger on bus arid in tube.
