Mr. and Mrs. Musitsky of Greenwich Village,
New York, owned a playerpiano which they usu-
ally operated after midnight. On the floor below
lived Mr. and Mrs. Smith, whose taste running
neither to classical airs nor jazz objected.
"They'll have to stop that cussed thing," said
Mr. Smith, "or Im going to tell the police."
"1 have a better scheme than that," said Mrb.
Smith.
The next night jazz could be heard coming from
the playerpiano above. At 12:30 o'clock Mr. and
Mrs. Musitsky had their rill for the day and were
ready for bed. But could they sleep? Not as long
as the grating noise of a second hand phonograph
came from the apartment of the Smiths below.
The warfare kept up between the sponsors of play-
erpiano and phonograph for three nights, each en-
deavoring to play late and longest. The Smiths
won.
