That being the case, it seems to us that, Cambridge's "Millionaire School Committee" might give Harvard University a lift in a few deserving spots.

As a matter of fact, the statue of John Harvard could do with little polishing or a cost of paint. We couldn't come out flatly and ask the Cambridge school Committee members with real estate valued at $2.409,873.59 to give Harvard a donation. But a word to the wise...

...eloquent as the silence of Harpo Marx is the unintelligibility of Stepin Fetchit, who is too lazy to use words. Born Lincoln Perry in Key West, Fla., in 1902, Stepin Fetchit went to divinity school. When after two years he learned that it would take two more to finish the course, he resigned. Discharged for incompetence as a racetrack tout, he adopted the name of his favorite horse (Step and Fetch It) and decided to try acting...
