ATTORNEY DUVALL'S OPINION
Law Providing Tax Mo- Operative in
Controlling Sections Until the Date
of Issue of Licenses-An Analogous
Case Cited.

new lease of life was infused into
the much maligned bill board yesterday
in an opinion rendered by Corporation
Counsel A. B. Duvall, who holds that
the provisions of paragraph ~ In the
last District appropriation bill are to
be effective only from and after No
yember l. In the meantime. nothing
can be done, and the case remains in
statu quo. Mr. Duvall adds, however,
that he is of the opinion that hereaf-
ter paragraph 80 will afford means
for the abatement of the Objectionable
bill posting complained of.
The opinion was based not upon the
communication received yesterday from
Anna NJ. Wilson and ]. W. Ernshaw,
but upon previous and analogous case,
in which the writer called attention to
section z, paragraph 80. of the appro-
priation act for the District of Column
bia, for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1903, approved July l. 1902, which re-
Quires bill posters to pay an annual tax
of $40 before engaging in said busi-
ness. and prohibits the placing, exhib-
iting, maintaining, or continuing any ad-
vertisement or poster, except upon
such land, houses, buildings, bill boards,
fences. or other structures, as the Com
missioners may, in their discretion, au-
thorize in writing for that purpose"
Mr.. DuvalI's Decision.
Said section imposes license tax
upon various classes of business in the
District" Mr.. Duvall explains, land by
its paragraph provides that all IL
censes shall date from November in
each year, and expire on October 81 fol-
lowing, except as otherwise provided.
The licenses for bill posters, no other
time having been designated, is there
fore to run from November l, 1902.
81 am of the opinion that the pro-
visions in said paragraph 80 are to be
read together, and the paragraph is to be
treated as an entirety; and that, there
fore, the provision prohibiting the plac-
ing, exhibiting, maintaining, or continu-
ing any advertisement or poster except
upon such land, buildings, fences, ETC.,
as the Commissioners may, in their dis
cretion, authorize In writing, is to be
effective only from and after November

SOME interesting experime ats in wire
less telegraphy are being made at the
Morgan Laboratory oil Ply OF the
University OF Pennsylvania by Prof.
Arthur w. Goodspeed. At a recent
public demonsuat on. DIR. Goodspeed
explained a simple feim Of apparatus for
wireless telegraphy. Operating it across
the lecture room, he rang bell. lighted
three incandescenl lights, and exploded
a torpedo, all the objects being con-
siderable distance from the apparatus
and there being no connection by wire.
In speaking OF wireless biography, DIR.
G)odspeed said that the idea is by no
means a modern one. "More than a CEN
tury ago." he said SALIVA suggested
water as an electrical conductor. Few
other suggestions were made until 1883,
when Sleinheil of Munich, discovered
that a return wire was not necessary,
and that the earth would serve the pur.
pose. Thus II is that Wireless biography
was literally suggested as possible sixty
years ago.

The Christmas Dinner

In spite OF the tact that the word dys
bebSia means literally bad cock. it will
not be fair tor many to lay the blame on
the cook it they begin the Christmas
Dinner with little appetite and end it
with distress of nausea. 1t may not be
fair for any to do that-let us hope so for
the sake of the cook The disease dys-
pepsia indicates tad stomach. that is a
weak stomach, rather than a bad cook,
and for a weak stomach there is nothing
else equal to Hoods Sarsapsnlia. 1t
gives the stomach vigor and tone. cures
dyspepsia, creates appetite. and makes
eating the pleasure il should be.
