Only Human Humor Lives
High Places in Literature Accorded to Recognized
Masters Won, in the Main, by Those Who Have
Had Wide and Varied Experiences of Life.

A humorist, unless he is "very.
very good. has life only a little
longer than that of moth.' thinks
one of New York's humorous writ
ers. He appears to believe that this
is characteristic only of his type of
writer. 1t is, on the contrary, the
universal fate of all except the few
geniuses in every occupation whose
names endure.
What be is talking about is topical
humor, which foams on our daily life
like the froth on glass of pop"
and is as fiat after it's bubbles col

is based on profound and SYM
pathetic observation of the life of
our times. Too much of 1t depends
merely on verbal tricks and nom
sensical situations concocted from
topics of the day. When those topics
disappear from the public notice so
does the humor which is tied to
them.
Catch phrases, a trickery with
words intended to surprise the
reader, and whimsical nonsense with
no underlying common sense tickle
for as long as it takes to read the
piece and no longer. Substance is
lacking in this form of humor be-
cause real thought is lacking, too.
Humor must be true. The reason
the writings of great humorists hold
their place in literature is because
their humor Eliminates the subjects
it treats. Something more is needed
to penetrate human foibles and re-
veal the funny side of life than an
easy buffoonery. Therein may be one
of the reasons why great humOris:s

Mark Twain had spontaneous wit,

at his writing but also in the collec-

Because humor is so refreshing it
is an invaluable quality to have as
