The intervening hedges trim.
But he is not inclined to care
How me. and Nature have combined

To all the beauty he Is blind.

Upon his brow are beads of sweat;

And princes. shorn of spiendor. fret;
At humming spindles children sigh
Because the day Is hot and long,

Hear the Lion Roar
BY DR.. Charles Fleischer-

IN Gilbert and Sullivan's comic
opera. THE Mikado." is a
clever couplet to the effect that
there is eloquent outpouring
when the lion is a-roaring."
Have you ever heard a lion
roar? In the zoo, yes - but
within yourself you ought to
hear him roar!
They tell a tale, a mere fable
with an obvious moral which is
the whole purpose of the writing
OF this article. 1t is the story
Of a cub lion playing in the
forest and straying away from
his sleeping mother.
Presently he was lost. Crying
piteously for that mother care
which all the world of animate
beings wants, the little lions
walls reached the maternal
heart of a sheep who had been
bereft Of her young.
The sheep adopted and reared
the leonine baby, which duly be.
came so large as to frighten the
foster mother. But it played
with the other sheep. unaware
of its royal beastliness.
IHEY were all at their gambols
= one day when the air was
rent by an awful roar. The lion
cub heard the new noise all
a-quiver. Every fibre of his oe.
. ing was a-thHll. The leonine
chord in his nature was touched.
Every nerve Of him responded
to the call Of his kind and found
voice In. his first responding
roar.
Then the cub knew that he,
too, was a lion. One sad look
toward his foster mother, and
then with tremendous leaps he
was off over the hills to live
thereafter the life OF a lion.
Who knows but that he might
have died imagining himself
nothing but a sheep had not

meirt of the District govern
ment to require cleaner and better
restaurants and other establish
ments where foods and drinks are
offered for sale.
Not only is it proper that the
public should be protected as fully
as possible under existing laws and
appropriations for the Health De-
partment, but new health regula-
tions should be added and Congress
asked to furnish sufficient money to
enable rigorous examinations of all
eating and drinking places.
The great majority of reputable
eating places in Washington prob
ably need no assistance from the
health office in the sanitation of
their establishments. They take
pride in making their places as
clean as human hands can do it, and
in employing cooks, walters, etc.,
who are likewise clean and free
from diseases which might be trans
mitted to patrons.
There are, however, eating and
drinking places here which should
be compelled to improve their sapi-
tation or to close altogether. The
public should be entitled to feet
that when it buys foods and drinks
it is getting them in places that
have been sanitarily approved by
the health office.
A number of American cities have
long followed the plan of scoring
restaurants and other places on con-
dition of personnel, drainage and
garbage disposal, kitchen equip
ment, ice boxes, milk and butter,
screens, flies and ,vermin, food stor-
age, floors, ceilings, walls, etc.
Health inspectors make regular
visits, score each place, and at
given periods issue score cards
which must be conspicuously dis
played for the benefit of patrons.
The best score is 100, and if the
total falls too low the public eats
and drinks at its own peril. The
effect is to stimulate restaurant
owners to keep their places In good
condition.
Eating and drinking stands are
divided into several classes, depend
ing upon their equipment, class of
articles handled and extent of pat
ronage. Leading restaurants and
hotels are placed in Class A, the
smaller restaurants in Class B and
the "hot dog" and bottled drink
places in Glass c.
Health officers of these cities
have found the data collected by
inspectors to be of much value in
health affairs and sanitation.
There are known cases on rec
ord in Washington.where the police
have arrested men and women con-
nected as cooks or walters with
small restaurants who were found
to have been suffering from vile,
in some instances incurable, dis
eases. =
The personnel. of every restau-
rant should be free from contagious
or dangerous diseases and of
cleanly habits, when serving the
public In cities where scoring is
done the condition of the personnel
must have good rating.
In prosecutions for violations of
health laws the records of scorings
are valuable as evidence.
Under the wise and conservative
guidance of DR.. Fowler, the cam
paign of the Health Department for
cleaner establishments in Washing
ton should go on.

YUST as surely as love and its

human decency, not the Semitic but
the anti-Semite constitutes a nae
tional problem and a national men,
ace.
\ At the worst the Jew is-only a
jew. Like beauty and truth, he is
his own best excuse for his exist
ence. His past performance and
his present average need no apology.
The Jew is self f-justified in his
purposes and his practices. In Amer
lea and elsewhere the best Jews, Of
scourse, are easily on a par with the
excellence of their country. The
rest readily hold their own with the
average for orderly living and con-
structive participation in the life
of every land.
But in America, however desir-
able citizen the actively anti-Jew-
ish non-Jew may otherwise be, he
is certainly guilty of spiritual
treason to our fine professions of
democracy.
Rightly he feels the need of apol-
ogizing for his wrong attitude. And
naturally he feels the need of justi-
flying his subnormal inhumanity by
trying to shift the responsibility to
the victim of his self.conscious su-
periority.
Thus President Lowell becomes
the unfortunate mouthpiece of this
obvious inferiority in saying
"There is, most unfortunately, a

doubt in part caused by, a strong
race feeling on the part of the Jews

In contrast, please hear the typic-

herst:
I have reached the conclusion
that there is only one real vice,
hatred; and only one virtue, love.
Hate wishes to destroy; Love
would create. Where hate comes
in life fails. Where love comes
in, life is sane.
Neither Harvard, nor Columbia,
nor any other public educational
institution has the right to draw
social lines of exclusion.
A college is not a social club. Its
students may, as individuals, be as
snobbish as in their folly they
choose.
But the college as such has the
responsibility of culture and of
democracy to recognize only
aspiring human beings, eager for
the advantages and the satisfactions
of higher education.
