FASTER TELEGRAPH BOYS
With a view to accelerating the British telegraphic service, five teiegraph boys have been supplied with motor bicycles for telegram delivery in the Wimbledon district of London. These lads arq equipped with lchakicoloured jackets, trousers with buttonlike gaiters below the knee, and yellow gauntlets — the peaker caps with red lines being all that remains of their original uniforms. Though five is the present total of the G.PJO'.'s new telegraphic force, eight more boys are in training; and it is hoped that ultimately there will be 40 of them working within a 30mile radius of London. Leeds has a similar force, an dthough the speed limit for these hoys in London is now 15 miles an hour, it ds to be expected that this will be raised as the new service proves itself.
