Letting levity alone for the moment
it is interesting and significant and
quite typical that a Jew should be
the most efficient Prohibition officer
in the country. T wish they would
turn Izzy loose on these "sacramen-
tal' and sacrilegious bootleggers, who
are dragging the Jewish name in the
mud.
DR.. Josiah H. Penniman, acting
Provost of the University of Penn
sylvania, fires this broadside and l
imagine that he was aiming right at
President Lowell, of Harvard. Read
it carefully: "No American institu-l
tion, unless private and restricted, has
the right to adopt method of select
ing candidates that in any way violates
the principles laid down in the Dec
laration of independence, or the rights
of the American citizens as guaran-
teed by the Constitution of the United
States. To do this is un-American
in policy, and there is imperative
need at this time to preserve the
American character Of our institu-
tions, and to send forth the graduates
better and loyal Americans, if pos
sible than when they entered"
This is just about the broadest
policy that has yet been announced
by any of the leading American edu-
Gators with possibly the exception Of
the head Of Amherst. I only hope
that DR.. Penniman will see to it that
his views are carried out in the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, for they do
say that both in the University proper
as we'll as in the Wharton school
that there has been uneasiness in
certain quarters over the increasing
number Of Jewish students.
Who is Moses Steinberg, of Balti-
more? He pays for good sized
advertisement in the "Nation" each
week. He begins Jehovah is the God,
Americanism is the Religion" Con-
tinuing he says: "Due to numerous
interpretations and misinterpretations
in favor of religion, the Bible has
become a Business Opportunity for
Theologians, gentlemen of the clergy,
themselves short story writers and
backward politicians. The result is
that, if one believes according to one
Interpretation, he is considered
blessed. If one believes according
to another Interpretation he is con-
sidered damned. Thanks to religion,
the Constitution of the United States,
was supplemented by an amendment
known as the Eighteenth. Like the
Bible constitutionalism has become
a popular subject with judges, sena-

Sinclair Lewis, author of "Main
Street." in his new book, "Babbitt,"
refers to "Babbitt" attending a per-
formance at which "Jewish comedians
made vicious jokes at the expense of
their fellow Jews" Lewis is keen
observer, one of the keenest in this
country. And he has put his finger
on a sore spot that it would justify
the "Anti- Defamation" League to
take up. I have written for years
about this custom of Jewish vaudeville
actors making their living by offering
undesirable jokes at the expense OF
their own people thus increasing tho
prejudice against us. Yet these
Jewish comedians are recognized by
the Jewish communities they visit;
they are frequently invited to enter.
tain at the leading Jewish social
clubs. Yet if Gentle were to make
a business of being funny on the stage
with Jewish stories, all the Jews OF
the country would be up in arms. TIA
about time that we took a stand
against JEWS who do that sort OF
thing.
Someone told me that Harvard re-
quires not alone the name of the stu
dent to be enrolled but his former
name IF 1T HAS BEEN CHANGED.
This was told to me as something new
at Harvard dealing probably with the
restrictive measures that have been
introduced. 1t will be of interest to
my readers to know that this plan of
DIGGING OUT JEWS WHO MIGHT
BE CONCEALED UNDER NEW
NAMES was put into effect at Har-
ward last spring when questionable
was sent out to the student body.
And at that time it was understood
generally that the Harvard authori-
ties were seeking to get an accurate
idea of the number of Jews present.
The agitation has died down but the
plan of restricting the number of
Jews who will be admitted is in opera
tion at Harvard.
Why not name Izzy Einstein, the
hootch-hound, as one of the twelve
great Jews of the country? "IZZy"
is making an international reputation
for himself as being one of the few
Prohibition officers who PROHIBIT.
He surely is rendering a greater
service to law and order and to main
tain the integrity of the Constitution
of the United States than most of
the inhabitants of this blessed land
of freedom. He is surely entitled to
more consideration than David War
field, who intends to keep alive preju-
dice against us by putting on Shylock
or Bennie Leonard, who is fighter.

PLAN To CONTROL WEATHER
Scheme Has Been the Dream of Many
Scientists, but Nothing Practical
Has Been Evolved.

Three Or four years ago Sheffield
(Eng) workingman claimed to be put
ting the finishing touches to an instru-
ment to enable him ito focus beams of
ether oscillation" and so control the
weather. Unfortunately, the instru-
ment could not have been so perfect
as he thought, for nothing further. has
been heard of it, Before that Leeds
scientist had come to the conclusion
that il was within the scope of hu-
man possibility to prevent disastrous
cyclones, hurricanes and storms, and
even to improve permanently the
weather of the British isles" The
idea was the production of an instru-
ment enabling the operator to collect
or dissemble the molecules which form
the atmosphere. securing the degree
of density desired and so arranging
the best weather required for any dis
trict or seasonal occupation. More
than twelve years ago Sir Oliver Lodge
demonstrated that fog could be dis
PEELED by electricity. though the
process was too costly for adoption
generally.

She was awakened by her father

good day In her life.
She heard his footsteps on the walk
in front, and heard him coming

When he crossed the threshold she
kissed him. The old man was little
abashtd at the suddenness Of it, but
he was pleased. He took chair and
sat in the back yard leaning against
the house From there he talked with
her through the open door. They had
passed the usual questions OF the day,
when the old man said, allie, y can't

blanched as she stood in the doorway,

be so far above him that she would
not care for it. He put on his best

heard voices at the fence, he recog-

pulse quickened; but when he looked
through the curtain and saw a stran-
ger with her, his heart sank.
Father and daughter met at the
door; he held out his hand to her and
