4 DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

IF the aim of a literary outline
i be to make the doings of long
dead writing men seem interesting,
and even exciting, to present. day
readers, Burton Rascoe's "Titans OF
Literature" is an extremely success
full book.
Other critics may disagree with
some of Mr.. Rascoe's appraisals, but
he at least has managed to convey
the feeling that grubbing about in
ancient books can be one Of the
most enthralling and stirring Of all
pastimes.
He makes the writer's of the class
les seem our contemporaries, makes
it possible for us to understand how
they lived and what they tried to
do; and that, it seems 10 me, is a
very fine achievement.
His book is, in its essence, series
of biographical and critical essays
on the masters of literature, from
Homer to James Joyce.
He keeps it lively by number Of
irreverent but Illuminating COM
parsons of old-time writer's with
those of today.
He says, for example, that Vir-
gil was Rome's Edgar Guest, and
that Shakespeare was very like
George M. Conan; that Juvenal
was a forerunner of the modern
newspaper columnist; and that
many Of the Latin poets were sim
ply glorifed public relations counsel.
Unorthodox at times-he has
small use for Dante and Milton, for
instance-Mr. RaScoe has written
a book which always is interesting
and frequently downright exciting.
But while designed for popular
consumption, his book is neither
cheap nor superficial.
It is published by Putnam and is
priced at $3.75.

BEER MEASURE
TO WAIT UNTIL
AFTER HOLIDAYS
Little Chance of Action Be-
fore New Years Seen
in Senate.
BY WALKER STONE
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON. Dec. 24.-Contro-
versy over the Collier beer bill Ian
pushed into an academic discussion
as the national lawmakers today
turned from their duties to enjoy
the Christmas holidays.
There is little possibility that the
beer bill will be any closer to enact
ment when congress resumes its
normal functioning after the new
year.
Congressional leadership next week
will be devoted to trying to main
tain quorums subject to call by the
two houses.
Chairman George w. Norris in
tends to try to hold a meeting Of
the senate judiciary committee on
Monday to determine whether fur
Their hearings should be held on the
Collier bill, but he does not antici-
pate that a quorum will be present.
Opposed to More Hearings
Senator Norris is opposed to adj
ditional hearings, believing that
both sides have exhausted their
arguments. He said, however, that
hearings would be granted. if any
one can show that he has evidence
which was not presented in the
house ways and means COMMITTEES
hearings.
Senator Norris said that if he
could not get a quorum next Mon
day, he would try again on the fol-
lowing Monday. which will be Jan.
2, also a holiday.
Most Of the academic beer discus
sion now in progress on Capitol hill
deals with the 80 per cent alcoholic
content provision in the Collier bill.
Drys Led by Borah

E. Borah Qdaho) declare that beer

ridicule such statements. pointing
out that the guiding legal decision
Is the ruling of the supreme court
on the VolStead act That was a
unanimous decision, unfolding the
right Of congress ito define an in

BY the same reasoning, it is con-
tended, the supreme court also can
hold that congress has the right to
place the limit at 80 per cent.
There is nothing sacred about the
one-half of one per cent limit. argue
the vets. The, origin of that Iimita-
ton dates back to pre- Civil war
days.
Nothing Sacred" About Rule
In 1862 the federal government
levied a tax against beer as COM
monty breWed, without specifying
an alcoholic content. The common
brew of that time contained about
21a to 4 per cent by volume, or 90
to 80 by weight.
Subsequently, beer of a lower al
coholic content was brewed, and
held to be exempt from tax. Brew
ers complained Of the unfair COM
petition of this lighter tax-free
beer.
Congress then asked the brewers
to say what alcoholic content rem
dered beer Intoxicating. The brew
ers replied: "One-half of per
cent"
That became the accepted def
milton, and as the prohibition
movement spread, it was written Z
into the prohibitory statutes of
eighteen states.
There is no accepted judicial rul- /
ing as to what percentage of alco-
hol renders liquor intoxicating.

VeniSOn Is
Delicious
With Jelly
BY SISTER MARY
MA Service Writer

Venison, properly cooked. is one
OF the most delicious Of the wild
meats. 1t is easily digested and
considered a particularly suitable
food for the convalescent.
The meat Of newly killed deer is
quite tough. although it has a dis
tinctly sweet flavor. II allowed TO
hang from one to two weeks before
cutting into steaks and joints, 1t
"ripens" and becomes more tender.
Many like it to hang longer and
If kept in a very cold place the
ripening process can be prolonged
for a month. This is the way all
beef is treated to make 1t tender.
Saddle Is Choicest Cut
The saddle or loin is considered
the choicest cut and plenty Of fat
is an indication Of good quality;
in fact. it can hardly be too fat.
This usually is roasted and should
be cooked rare.
The haunch is another cut which
often is roasted, but usually is liked
well done.
Steak should be cut about half
an inch thick and is cooked like
beefsteak-broiled, pan-broiled or
fried It is preferred rare.
The cooking of venison requires
different methods than for average
meats. Either a saddle or haunch
should be larded before putting in
the oven.
Add Fat to Meat
Rubbing with melted butter is
another way to add fat to the meat
Allow twenty minutes to the pound
for roasting, counting the time after
the meat has been in the oven for
thirty minutes. Put into a hot oven
and reduce heat at the end of
thirty minutes.
Any cut of yenison is improved
if allowed to stand in a marinade
Of oil and vinegar for several hours
or overnight.
Currant jelly is traditional with
venison. 1t is often added to de-
licious sauce to serve with steak and

The question is the National
 league pennant this year. and the Cubs current invasion of the east, which lasts nearly all month. will
 furnish the reply. I Judging by the way. those Cub pitchers have been functioning to date, the midsummer test should reveal that the old saying about pitching being 90 per cent of a
 clubs strength is absolutely on the
 up and up.
 The Cubs, with few holes here
 and there in the .infield, and one good outfielder, have been beating down their enemies in the west by
 excellency of pitching and not whole lot else.
 .Hornsby has one of the best
 right handed corps of fingers that has been assembled in many years. Grimes, Bushs Root, Malone, Warneke. Bob Smith, Tinning-not a left-hander in the lot. and all of
 them listed among the leagues leaders!
 At least this far along. 1t ap- you, as it happens the Cubs have
 been fielding and hitting like
 second division outfit all spring. Grimes Coming Round MT Grimes Is just beginning to
 find his form. s Hampered by ili- ness during the first few weeks, the
 burly heaver of spitballs was given plenty of time to get into condition | by the Rajah. A recent shutout
 he handed to his old mates, the Cardinals, shows he Is ready to go, The rest of the staff had caught his spirit of invincibility. Grimes always has been that sort of guy. His cocky confidence inspires others to pitch lover their heads"
 It was Grimes who helped Jess Haines in his comeback with St
 Louis. Burleigh kidded the old Ohioan out of the notion that he
 was through.
 Root has been pitching in hard luck during the spring. His ap- pearance on the mound time after
 time was the signal for his mates
 to forget their noble birthright
 and start bunting and drop-kick- ing practice. Malone. Bush. Smith
 and Timing have been doing more than their share.
 Warneke Is Surprise The surprise has been ,Lonnie Warneke. Under careful coaching | last year he improved considerably, but there was no hint of the dis
 tinct shock he gave the baseball notwithstanding his manager-by
 suddenly becoming unbeatable by the toughest clubs this season.
 He will be given his stiffest tests against the Giants. Braves and Phils. If he can hold his own against the hard-hitters of these three teams during the road-trfp, the pennant verdict would seem to be reached by the end of June.
