Grow on Same Bush.

Most tea users know there are two
types of tea. the black and the green,
but most people may not know they
grow on the same bush and the diff.
ference is wholly in the process of
making the tea ready for market, the
process Of manufacture giving each
its distinctive flavor.
Black tea is allowed to oxidize after
being partially fired or dried, the
green is steamed when first handled
and oXidization is stopped. The best
tea is grown in the high country, al
titude giving quality to the product.

PLAN REVISED RULE.
ON SHIPPING SPACE
Commissioners to Act After
Stephens Holds Parking
Reservations Invalid.

Revision Of the traffic regulations
governing the designation of ship
ping entrances" in front Of business
establishments in the congested area
probably will be undertaken by the
Commissioners, it was indicated today
as result Of an opinion by Corpora
ton Counsel Francis II. Stephens,
which held chat mo parking" regula-
tions in front of shipping entrances
are invalid.
The opinion was submitted at the
request of NJ O. Eldridge, acting
director Of traffic, following a decision
by Police Court Judge John z. Nc
Mahon in which he held that the
director Of traffic has no authority
to reserve space along the public
highway for the exclusive use of mer-
chants. The Commissioners instructed
Mr.. Stephens to appeal from this de
cision, but he was unable to do so
he said, because Of a technical defect
in the case in which Judge Mcmahon
made his ruling.
Says New Rule Is Needed.
1.-THE case made at Police Court was
upon an information charging viola
ton Of the instructions on signs tC
shipping entrances" said Mr.. ste
phens, whereas 1t should have beer
a charge for violation of the regula
| tion itself. A new regulation, l think
must be drawn"
! Mr.. Stephens explained in his opin
| ion that upon the general proposition
| of law he thought that neither a busi
ness house nor the public has the ex
| elusive right to the street in front.
1.-THE business house is entitled tC
| entrance and exit as a matter of ne
| cessity to the conduct Of business,
| the opinion read, "but this right Is
not an exclusive right and must be
adjusted to the rights Of the public t
use the highway.
Memorandum Attached.
| 1.-THE Police Court decision was bas
! ed upon theory that the storekeepel
was granted an exclusive privilege. A
| regulation which recognizes the re
| spective rights of the storekeeper an(
the public probably would be sus
| tained." aN
Mr.. Stephens attached to his opin
| ion a memorandum of authorities or
shipping entrance signs. which, in eff
| feet, says that If the failure to desig
| IldIS SnlpplnR entrances COJlSLltNLGi
an inconvenience to the merchant, h
! should remove to a more commodiou
situation to carry on his business.
Cites Decision of Court.
He cited the case of Rex versus
| Jones, in which the court said:
"The defendant Is not to exc out tn
! inconvenience of his own premises b!
| taking the public highway into hi!
timber yard; and If the streets be mar
row he must remove to a more com
modious situation
| Another case which involved simi
| lar question, that of King VS.. Russell
was cited by Mr.. Stephens. In this
case the court said that the primary
object Of the street was for the free
passage of the public and anything
which impeded that free passage with
| out necessity was a nuisance.
THAT if the nature Of the defend
ants business was such as to require
! the loading and unloading Of so many
more of its wagons than could con
veniently be contained within his owr
private premises" read the court
opinion in this case, "he must eithe
enlarge his premises or remove hi
business to some more convenient
| spot"

cial committee authorized by it to
draw up project Of convention on
the organizing of the union. AS APP
proved, the convention would retain
the principal features of the basic
resolutions on the union adopted at
the five Pan-American Congresses
thus far held. The scope of activity
Of the organization remains virtually
the same under the drafted plans,
and duties assigned to various sections
have not been radically changed.
Provision for deposit with the Pan
American Union of ratifications of
diplomatic instruments signed at Pan
American conferences has been insert
ed, however, as an innovation over
the ordinary methods established for
such purpose, but is held justified in
view of the peculiar status of the Pan
American Union, whose services can
be utilized to simplify formalities and
expedite communication of the instru-
ments TO signatory states.
