Such was the phenomenon brought to light by one Robert Marshall, tree experimenter of Missoula, Mont. In the Nation, he wrote: observed a peculiar biological-political relationship in the annual rings of the trees. Three marked periods of retarded growth were manifest, just prior to 1828, 1884 and 1912. These were the years of major catastrophes for Republicans. In 1828, log-cabin-and-hard-cider Andrew Jackson smote them down; in 1884, rotund-reformer Grover Cleveland, in 1912, scholar Woodrow Wilson. ... It struck me that possibly the same lack of rainfall which caused the trees to wane also caused...
...entirely down and out. Actually, Gandhi, a tense, passionate ascetic, usually clad only in a loin cloth and a sash, was easily the dominant figure of the last Indian National Congress. The Occidental press was poorly represented, and only recently* has the picturesque story of the Congress come to light.

...present number is labelled "Spring" and indulges in a pleasing shade of light apple green on the cover. I believe there have been many better numbers than this, for the jokes seem to lack that subtlety which is usually the Lampoon's raison d'etre. The funniest of these to me is that on top of page 135. "The Abbot of Oldham" is mildly amusing as is also the worm epic, the last sentence of which approaches the heights of Mr. Larrabee's work in 1921. No so much can be said for the "Inkings" in this number, with...
