MAN WHO DECIDES IS WRONG
Dictionary Has Definitely Determined
the Status Of the Bottle on
the Porch.

The man who always decides dis
putes and Is sometimes right looked
up expectantly as tho inquirer ap-
preached. He scented question and
he was not mistaken.
ITO decide q bet" said the inquirer,
'tell me which is right to say: The
bottle sits on the porch or the bottle
sets on the porch"
"That's easy" responded the ora
Gle. "Of course the bottle sets on
the porch"
"Ohw said the inquirer disap-
pointed, my bet was On Sits" And
he withdrew deferendally from the
oracle and consulted the Standard
dictionary and in triumph returned
remarks the New York Sun.
1.-THE dictionary says that sets
means to cause to sit, and that sits
means to have or keep seat upon
something"
The man who decides snorted con.
temptuously. "L0ok again, son." he
said, patronizingly, land you'll find
somewhere among those definitions the
fact that only the things which have
life are capable Of sitting. The bottle
has no life, therefore you must say
the bottle sets on-the porch"
The inquirer, mindful Of a two
dollar bet, read diligently through the
definitions and returned with his mind
cleared of doubt to the man who de-
cides. 1--WE come to the conclusion,
the inquirer told him, "that the bottle
neither sets nor sits on the porch anc
that the proper way is to say the
bottle is set on the porch"
"But-" commenced the man who
always decides disputes.

MONOPOLY FIGHT
LOST BY HACKERS
Court Rules Taxicab Company
Legally Holds Space at
Union Station.

Independent public automobile
hackers lost their fight yesterday in
the Court Of Appeals to end the
monopoly of the Terminal Taxicab
Company Of the space opposite the
west end of Union Station.
The court held that this space
was private property and that the
Washington Terminal Company had
the right to lease it. Consequently,
the lettering act. which has brought
many an independent hacker into
Police Court. does not apply to any
taxicab company which has a space
contract with the Terminal Com
leasing public space.
Cabs of the corporate owners may
also park in front of the Wash
ington and Shoreham hotels. the
court held. without being affected
by the lettering act by reason Of
the legality of the contracts of the
taxieab companies with the hotels
for such space.
The case went to the Court of
Appeals from independent hackers
from a decision by Judge Hardison
which held that certain Of the hack
ers had been guilty Of lettering
around the Union Station and the
hotels on space which the Appel
late Court has now held to be sub
ject to the control of the establish
msnt adjoining.
