DO INCHES MAKE THE MANI

Until the time of the war between
Russia and Japan the short man was
obliged to defend the prowess Of his
kind by citing Napoleon as an exam
pie OF what short persons could do.
Balzac, the great French novelist,
whose height was trihe more than
i've feet. often half whimsically. often
seriously. endeavored to show a con-
nection between short stature and ex-
cellence. 1t was also a source Of con-
ISOLATION to him and to other men who
were not In the tall class, to read in
history that the Roman conquerers
were short. But after the Russo-Japa-
nese war IT became evident to all that
stature had nothing to do with the
case, unless. perhaps, the victory OF
the little Jap proved that the short
man was the superior of the tall. But
now come the municipal authorities
in our cities, who say that a tall po-
nceman is better than a short and
that a tall fireman is the superior of
a short fireman. says Boston Globe.
Five feet 7h inches is the limit of
shortness to be tolerated say some.
while others lower the standard a
quarter of an inch. Others would low
er 1T half an inch more. Supersti-
lions die hard. We are still children.
and, although far from the age of
giants. we cling to the notion that
inches make the man.
