EARLIER ENTRY AGE
URGED AT HARVARD
Lowell Asks Less Emphasis on In
tercollegiate Sport In An
nual Report.
81 the Associated Press.


CAMBRIDGE. Mass. January g.
A. Lawrence Lowell, president of Har-
ward University. In his annual report
to the overseers made public Monday,
advocated an earlier entrance age for
college students. less emphasis on the
significance of intercollegiate sport and
the abandonment of the degree OF mas
ter of arts.
He attached a tabulation showing
that the average entrance age has de-
clined in the last 40 years to ID years
and s months.
The report pointed out that two
diverse tendencies have been at work
in athletics. that within the university
there has been an charging effort for
universal physical training, but that
outside the university there has been
q tendency to place still greater en-
phasis on the Importance and s,gnit-
canoe of intercollegiate sport.
Suggesting abandonment Of the de-
gree Of master of arts, he said: "At
present our bachelors degree with hon&
ors In a special field. involving a gem
eral examination. and q Thesis, is
better measure of capacity than the
masters degree"

Not So Crafty

"A crafty trick" is the way one Chicago pubhca-
ton describes Ruth Hanna McCormcks straddle OF
the prohibition fence in the senatorial race. Tick
it doubtless was. But that it craft seems much
less certain in view of the sequel
The dry organizations have replied to the trick oy
bringing out another woman to run against Ruth
And since Jim Ham Lewis, the Democrat has the
wet following, that may leave slim pckings Tor the
not-so-crafty daughter of Mark Hanna
Slim indeed, considering the enemies she has MADE
by her second unsuccessful trick of shadowing the
senate committee investigating her excessive pIa-
mary expenditures.
Our natural chivalry would wiring out word OF
sympathy for this poor in her distress, but
how could We be chivalrous to her without being
equally unchivalrouS to her woman opponent?
Chiyalry apart our reason tells us that if Ruth
gets good spanking from the voters it will be
healthy thing for her and for American politics. 1t
will be warning to all the politicians who are try
ing to trim on the prohibition issue All the poll
ticians' horses and all the politicians men can not
sidetrack this national issue.
The time is fast approaching when every politician
will have to get on one side the other in this
fight and when a straddle will mean political death
for a candidate.

Pests Beyond the Pale

Among other unnecessary noises, put down the
honking of an automobile horn by the fellow who
stops his car in front of house and notifies people
inside that he is Herewith repeated honks If those
inside don't respond Immediately to the summons.
Neighbors are not interested either in him or in
whether the people in the house respond or not but
they don't enjoy the noise and can't what right
the noisy honker has to assa the Of the entire
neighborhood. Let him get out of the car go up to
the door, and ring the bell
AS for dogs, most people like them and don't mind
the neighbors having them. But when they bark at
night. that's different Dog barking at night is an
unnecessary noise that nfringes on the rights Of
neighbors who don't keep dogs and who don't like to
be kept awake by their barking.
Another noise nuisance is the fellow who owns a
motor-bike and who tears past your house with the
out-out wide OPEN Generally he assumes the right to
violate the speed regulations goes faster than auto
oares 60, and makes a terrific assault the ear
drums Of everybody within a block of the street on
which he is travelling.
Bawling babies We put up with for bawlng
can't be controlled by mothers; and we seem to need
babies to keep up the population We still cling to the
superstition that the chief function Of wives is to
have babies whether they want them not, or
whether dad can support them or not. SO let EN-
bawl.
But darn the dogs the honking motorists and the
crazy motor-bike riders Shooting any of them ought
to under the head of juStihable homicide
