D. C. NETMEN APPEAR
SURE OF MUNY TITLE

Washington's public court netmen
practically clinched the title in the
new Intercity Tennis League yester-
day when they won from Baltimore,
6 to 8. in their third start in the loop.
The victory gives the locals a rec
ord Of % wins in q starts, while the
Marylanders are In second place with
18 wins in the same numbeA of
matches.
Each of the two teams has vet to
meet Wilmington. but neither is ex-
pecting any difficulty in mopping up
with the Delaware team. Should Bal
timOre score a clean sweep over Will
mington, Washington would still have
to take only six out Of nine tilts to
keep the lead at the finish. Whining
ton plays here on the coming Sab
bath and meets Baltimore Il week
later.
Philadelphia and Chester teams
wound up their league campaigns yes
terday at Chester. The meeting re-
suited in a clean sweep for Philly
racketers.
In the meeting with Baltimore yes
terday at Potomac Park the District
contingent of racket wielders was not
SO fortunate when the score was
counted in the annual intercity match
which was played concurrently with
the league encounter. Out of 15
matches that were played. the visit
ore gained the decision in eight and
won their first leg on the trophy.
Three members Of the Washington
team-Dooley Mitchell. municipal

Point of Contrast

One great distinction, l appeared to
myself to see plainly between even
the characteristic faults of our elder
poets and the false beauty of the mod
ems. In the former, from Dome to
Cowley, we find the most fantastic
out-of-the-way thoughts, but in the
most pure and genuine mother Eng
fish; in the latter the most obvious
thoughts, in language the most fantas
tic and arbitrary Our faulty elder
poets sacrificed the passion and pas
sionate flow of poetry to the subtleties
Of intellect and to the starts of wit;
the moderns to the glare and glitter
of a perpetual, yet broken and heterO-
geneous imagery, or rather to an am
phibious something, made up, half Of
image and half of abstract meaning.
The one sacrificed the heart to the
head; the other both heart and head
to point and drapery. Coleridge.

Few Simple Regulations
to Cut Motor Accidents

We have too much automobile law.
The next trend must be toward the
elimination of all unnecessary re-
quirements and the enactment of a
few simple rules and regulations that
may be easily understood, easily en-
forced and, as nearly as possible, uni-
versally observed, says an official of
an automobile organization Such an
elimination would in many instances
do away with about three-fourths of
our present laws.
Traffic rules and regulations are
yet in their formative period. Much
remains to be done before avoidable
accidents may be reduced to a mini
mum. The principal difficulty is the
unwillingness of the public to accept
and obey such rules and regulations.
1t is matter of undisputed record
that between 90 and IS per cent of
all accidents result from the neglect
of the individual pedestrian and less
than per cent are caused by the
direct fault of the motorist or the
reckless use of the motor car. Lying
between these figures somewhere are
from 3 to per cent of the accidents
where both parties are responsible.

London Digs Up Old Roman

London has found new traces of
real old Roman. His name was T. G.
Pacati. He lived about nineteen hun
dred years ago. His name appeared
during excavations for the new Bank
of England building in Threadneedle
street. Twenty weight feet below the
surface of the ground, where several
ancient Roman wells are known to
have been laid, workmen found frag-
ments of an Italian wine cask about
six feet long. Pacati's name was found
on the inside of the cask, burned and
engraved in the old cypress. This,
however, is not the first time the mys-
FERROUS Pacati has come to the atten-
ton Of psychologists. During excava-
lions under London in 1914 his name
was found carved in stone. The stone
is now preserved in the Guildhall
museum.

How 1t Started
By JEAN NEWTON
s'BY RULE OF THUMB"

THO SPEAK of some one as measur-
= ing by rule of thumb is to imply
slipshod methods, an uncertain, care
less, haphazard way of doing anything.
The phrase is relic of the old GUS
tom of measuring material by the
length of the thumb. AS a mattel of
fact, in almost any workroom today
seamstresses of the old school can
be found who, for lack of tape meas
use or out of force of habit, will
take measurements by the length of
their fingers.
Nowadays it is the third fingd&Wow-
ever, rather tAan the thumb, rat IS
most popular for the purposeAand a
seamstress who was seen to u e this
oId-fashioned unit of measurement am
swered a remark that this could not
be very exact with proof that innate
rial held by her third finger and meas
ured back as far as the knuckle meas
ured exactly one-eighth of yard. In
this instance, therefore, ''by rule Of
thumb" was not haphazard or merely
approximate, as 1t is likely to be in
most cases, and as it is applied in the
figurative use of the phrase.
