All Through Life His Motto
Has Been: Do Things.
None Has Lived Up to 1t Better
Than He.
INVENTOR, COMPOSER, AUTHOR
His Wearing of Clothes Is Done
Systematically.
Every Form of Activity Is Grad
ed and Charted.

DO things. That's the philosophy Of
Harvey Worrall And no man has
lived up to it better.
WorraH has long since lost count Of
the things he has done. He's an in
ventor. a composer, an author. He's
a teacher. a philosopher and a scien-
fist
For years worran has been evolving
schemes to make his work more eff
cient. Frequently he forgets to eat.
His soiled linen is ever increasing. But
he gets results. He gets them so fire.
ouently that he now faces the problem
OF finding quarters for the constantly
increasing creations of his mind.
Every time Worrall evolves a new
scheme he prepares an account OF 1t,
carefully draws a plan-if one can pc
drawn-and then has several thousand
copies of his treatise published. Inese
he carefully files away in his private
office And that sanctum, viewed by
few alien eyes, has now become SO
cramped for space that the inventor
is indeed sore pressed so solve TINS
latest problem. H., =;
But he viii undoubtedly solve II
even as he has solved others.
Decimal Clothing Chart.
Having dedicated his life to the adj
vancement of science. Worral could
give his wardrobe little attention, So
he arranged decimal clothing chart.
He has fixed ii in his brain and now
he can lay his hand, in an instant, on
any garment he sees fit to seek.
The chart provides for ten outfits.
They include clothes for cold weather
and wet weather: informal and formal
business dress; informal and formal
day dress: informal and formal even
ing dress and dress for windy and hot
weather.
Each outfit includes a hat, gaunt-
lets, gloves, stormcOat, overcoat, coat,
vest, trousers, overshoes and shoes. In
heavy type are printed the words and
numerals that represent hat, coat,
vest trousers and shoes, for these are
of main Importance and require closest
attention. Every garment is mum bered
and the number is sewed on WorraH
takes no chances.
Develops a Technique.
But Worralls schemes embrace
bigger things. He is a piano instructor
and has developed a technique. The
principles have been craven on a
chart that he copyrighted a year ago.
And every pupil gets copy of it. He
charted an omnigenous grad uator
showing fiftyfive grades. He has
figured out the comparative percent
ages of advancement in difficulty in
the thirty-eight grades of his courses
of study for the piano. How many
more schemes he has devised to assist
him in teaching his classes he cannot
guess.
He has arranged a decimal calendar
that he developed from the calendars
of RomuIus, julius Caesar and Pope
Gregory. He developed a chrOao-
gram; devised a system of indicating
all possible colors by analytical num-
bers; charted a nomenclature, in
vented n solar pitch, compared the
scales of all new thermometers and
recorded his findings.
These things are but q drop III the
IN the vast accumulation of creations
that have sprung from Worralrs
imagination.
When the things he invent become
so numerous that they are difficult
to handle he deviSeS a scheme to ar
range them more systematically.
Everything Graded and Chartcd.
Even the paper upon which is re-
corded his endeavors has been graded
and charted
Despite his industry WOrrall has
found time to go out into the world
and annex friends. Several years ago
he developed "a liking for motOrmen.
For years he cultivated that taste and
toured the city riding in the front end
of street cars and making friends with
the street car drivers. A company
ruling prohibiting receptions in the
motormen's cages cut short that
pleasure. But not before the piano
instructor was known to every street
car crew in the city.
Until his work demanded so much
of his time, Worrall did much to
popularize athletics with newsboys.
He frequently threw handfuls of pen
MES into a crowd OF young news
dealers. The activity that followed
always afforded him considerable sat
.sfaCtion.
But even in those days his work was
well systematized and no purse held
coins of more than one denomination.
He adhereS TO the same practice today
and carries with him on every walk
purse for each denomination of coin.
