George Harvey gives up wear
ing knee breeches ut court and
goes back to American trousers
--even when he sees the King.
His areason" is-his legs are
too thin for knee breeches-
That's poor reason. Thin legs
are the best. Voltssre had
them. also Talleyrand. Thomas
jefferson. and others much like
Harvey. No one should want
calves like George Washington's,
or the calves that MacMonnies
put ON his statue Of Civic Vir-
tue. For a man using his
brains big muscles arc simply a
handicap. Each Of the billions
OF cells IN the body requires so
much enerRy to keep 1t going.
Thin legs mean moro energy
isft over for the brain.

man In the world. He gave
away q million dollars the other
day to the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art, with no strings
attached, except that they
mustn't lose the money.
Now he gives $500,000 to q
hospital, and It Is understood
that as long as his fountain
pen holds out he means to con-
tinue signing such checks. He
will have q long way 10 20 TO
reach the record Of John u:
Rockefeller, who gives tens OF
millions at a time. But a mil

Mr.. Baker is quite old, Mr..
Rockefeller older. Mr.. Carne-
gle was old. In former days
such old men would have been
wondering how they could In
vest their money in some great
tomb or pyramid, pr IN such q

Now they invest the money
that opportunity in a great ma
tion has given them to benefit
the people Of that nation. That's
REAL PROGRESS. ~
The proposal to discriminate
apainst Jews at Harvard will
probably be dropped. II was
suggested here that the matter
could be attended to, inasmuch
as any public institution dis
eliminating against any class
of citizens might, and should
be, deprived Of tax exemptions.
Attacks on Jews are largely
based on the jealousy that
touches the pocketbook. That
kind Of jealousy can be coun-
teracted by another "touch" on
another pocketbook-that Of the
taxpayer.
It is, however, not necessary
20 pass special laws. Massa-
chusetts, one Of the most en-
lightened States, has a law that
authorizes a commission to
'sprobe the opportunity for high
er education open to the men
and women Of this State"
Governor Cox will choose a
commission to do the probing,
and that should settle it.
Negro students Of Harvard
say that the Ku Klux Klan has
stirred up discrimination. Prob
ablv not so. Something much
older than Ku Klux Is respon-
stble for the attempted discrim-
ination AGAINST Jews. Ignor-
ance, jealousy, lack of energy
60 compete. are forces older
than any Ku Klux.
