WHAT IS A TABLOID?
Is a tabloid a newspaper?
Is a tomato a fruit?


Some people say Eyes" to each of
those questions, but good many people
answer negatively.
Those who maintain that a tomato is
fruit base their conclusion on the assump-
ton that vegetables grow only in the
ground, and those who declare tabloid is
a newspaper claim that anything that is
printed and issued regularly is a news
paper. =
But a pumpkin and other vegetables
grow above ground, and we have known
of circulars that have been printed and is
sued regularly.
The following, clipped from the Flor
ida Newspaper News, puts a legal con-
struction on what constitutes a news
paper:
But in some states the courts
have held that tabloid sheets are
not newspapers, and in Louisiana, the
supreme court recently ruled on what
constitutes newspaper. The case in
volved validity of a public sale of
property for which the legal notice
had been published in 1.-THE Daily
Legal News" of Shreveport" a, tabloid
form paper featuring court news and
proceedings. The supreme court de-
clared the sale invalid because the
News employed no reporters at the
time of the suit and did not subscribe
to the Associated Press or. any other
news bureau
