" About this time of year, books
of cartoons begin pouring ojf the
presses. Two of the better ones
aré published by Ray Long and
Richard Smith, and Farrar and
‘Rinehart, publishers of last sea
son’s very popular “The Stag al
Eve.” '
| The first of these is a collection
'or drawings by Steig, “Man About
ITOWH" ($3.00). These drawings for
the most part appeared in the New
Yorker, Judge, @nd Life, and. are
highly amusing. Like Peter Arno's
art they consist of un-funny pie
tures, and un.funny lines, which
together become very funny. For
instance, there is the picture of
a man jerking his hat away from
'the horse which is chewing it
lThen there is the line, which is
|familiar to many people, ‘That’s
{bad psychology. Reason with

Inor that picture are funny; to

{so popular in the New Yorker are
lhere in all their glory—highly so

fessor. And there are others, too,
to make up a volume of around
two hundred drawings, most of

Drawn in red are about sixty‘

claims, are eminently suited for

careful and keep the piece of red

{overwhelming as the one on re

‘ The vote against the relatively
[moderater Beck-Linthicum repea;

227 to 187 and the vote for the
strong Garner resolution was 272
to 144, To measure the extent of
the unprecedented flop it to neces
sary to consider both the change
of votes and the more drastic

low and like.
Big Reversal
It was shown that even in this
nresent Congress, overwhelmingfy
dry five months ago, tnere are
more than the requisite two-thirds
majorities for some sort of repeal
If three votes had charged, a
tfe would have resulted and
Bpeaker Garner himself would
have voted tao carry the amend-
ment. More than three membex
voted against the resolution si§
nly because they objected to .}‘,..d
httempt to railroad it through in-
stantaneously.
The plan fact is that thev wet
{wave has come like a torrent and
|there is not the slightest signiof
any abatement. The movement for
iheer and & beer tax goes right on.
l The Glass plan for repeal, which
|contains provisions against . the
I'«salo:m and’ for continued foderal
| participation in enforcement, has.
it much chance in this sessfon
| because it is so obvious that if .tj*
| Democrats wait they can put
through their own “naked repeal”
Mpromise. . gty
i In a few months, it appears, the
‘.sta.tes will be called on to ‘r¥atify
i the. repeal amendment and they
‘will be expected to operate |their
own prohibition statutes, if any.
Meanwhile any compromise re
jeal provision that the Senate
might pass would get lost in the
House in the stalemate. which
would develop when some of the
‘Fepublicans who voted for the
