She informed the police. The first

So Informed.

Anna Coleman. who conducts the Tea
Cup Inn at 726 18th street. has written to
the District Commissioners protesting
against paying an additional license for a
branch establishment at 800 Connecticut
avenue. The writer claims that the license
for the one establishment should cover
both. as the latter place is occupied merely
as an annex.
Mr.. II. II. Darneille. the assessor, in re-
porting upon the protest quotes a para
graph in the license law which says:
Provided. that licenses issued under any
Of the provisions OF this act shall be good
only for the location designated thereon,
and no license shall be issued for more
than one place of business. profession or
calling. without the payment of separate
tax for each
Commenting upon this Mr.. Darneille
states:
The premises occupied by applicant,
namely. I26 18th street and S22 Connecticut
avenue. are several squares apart consti-
tuting two separate places of business, and
under the law license should be procured
for each. / recommend that the writer be

THE "FRANKFURTER JOURNAL. +"
Oldest Newspaper in the World Sus-
ponds Publication.


From the New York Tribune
The end OF the oldest newspaper in the
world should surely command something
more of notice than three or four incon-
spicuous and ill-informed lines. We are told
that the Frankfurter Journal. which has
just ceased publication. was one of the old
est newspapers In Germany. and is known
to have existed as early as 1913. That is an
inadequate statement OF the case. The pa
per in question was not only one of the old
est, 1t was positively the oldest in Germany.
and that means it was the oldest in the
whole world. We except China, OF course.
with its Picking Gazette. a much older pa
per, but one which really doesn't count, see
ing that in its luminous columns 1t is impos-
slble to distinguish between a marriage no
tice and a laundry check. or real newspa-
pers. the Frankfurter Journal was the first
ever published. Not only is 1t known to have
existed in 1873. but 1t is well known to have
been founded In 1915, and to have been pub
lished with practical continuity from that
date to the present, period of 2SS years.
Its founder was Egenolph Emmel, a book
seller of Frankfort-on-Main, and its first
esteemed contemporary" was the Frank
furter Oberpoststamtszeitung, which was
founded in 1916, and which, under the name
OF the Frankfurter Postzeitung, continued
to be published until 1866.
1t was fitting that newspapers should have
their origin in Germany, seeing that 1t was
there that printing was invented and the
newspaper was made possible. The rank OF
German cities at that time is curiously suss
gested by the order In which they estab-
lished Irresponsible first two at Frank
FORT the third at Fuida, the fourth at Hill
desheim. the fifth at Herford and the sixth,
perhaps, at Leipzig. The Netherlands did
not lag behind, for Antwerp established its
