New Anti-Saioon League
Leadership Proposed by

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December S.-The New
York Times says "a radical change in
the leadership of the Anti-Saloon
League is threatened as a result of the
repeal of the eighteenth amendment" !"
The fight, the newspaper adds, will be
brought to head at the biennial meet
ing of the directors In Washington
January 8.
Resolutions drawn by the Head
quarters Committee of the Anti-Saloon
League Of Maryland and calling for q
new general superintendent to replace
Rev. DR.. F. Scott Mcbride have been
sent to all national directors, the
Times says.
Would Curtail Power.
The resolutions also are said to pro-
vide for the stripping from the gen.
eral superintendent of his present
sole power Of nominating State super
intendents.
An unnamed spokesman Is quoted as
saying: "The league has been q sort of
dead center. What Is needed most is
new leadership that will appeal to the
public imagination and enthusiasm. I"
1t Is further stated that a movement
already has been launched to place
Comdr. John d. Pennington, former
prohibition administrator for New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, in
DR.. McBride's post.
Amendment Hits Mcbride.
The amendments proposed by the
Marylnad organization are designed
chiefly to avoid ''the temptation of per-
petuation In Office"
"If," says the Times, "such an
amendment Is passed, league directors
believe DR.. Mcbride is almost certain
to be ousted. They point out that
under the present arrangement the
general superintendent is elected by
the State directors. whom he himself
appoints. Thus 1t Is almost impossible
to defeat general superintendent who
wants to succeed himself"

whether you have heard it or

have never heard it told exactly

is, you enjoy it in spite Of your-

HERE'S A GOOD ONE
-Bv ROBERT BENCHLEY-

Telling funny stories is such
a popular pastime in this
country that more people ought
to learn how to tell them,
either that, or we should get
more funny stories.
I like a joke as well as the
next one (and the next one
seems to like Jokes pretty
weld, but I have quite a lot
of trouble in telling them. I
can't seem to hold peoples
attention. This is possible be-
cause my own attention begins
to waver once I am launched
on a story and I wish that
I never had started it. This
is no way to electrify your
hearers.
A great deal Of self-confi"
dence is necessary to go
through with a good long
funny story. You can't worry
while telling it. That is where
I go wrong, I worry. I get as
far as 80 if anyone has heard

to see everyone, and the whole
thing collapses completely.
Hands are shaken and backs
are slapped and, if the teller
is wise, he will sneak away

does not, there is sure to be
someone who will bring the
matter up again when quiet has
been restored and say, Bob

"Oh, I'm sorry, let's hear it,"
So the whole CHASTITY procedure
has to be gone through with
again, including a brief sum-
mary of what had gone be-
fore, during which those who
have already taken the rap
whisper among themselves,
waiting for the point where
they lost the thread. In fact,
the conversation becomes gen.
eral.
And then comes the point
the horrible, unsatisfactory
point, of which you had mis-
givings for so long. There is
laughter, it is true, for few peo-
pie are so cruel as not to give
out some sort of noise at the
conclusion of a story, no matter
how bad. But it doesn't sound
right, and someone always
comes to the relief OF the
laughers before it has died
down with a much too quick
"that reminds me of one some
thing like that" Or, II had
heard that, only it was told Of
two Indians"
At any rate, the ordeal is over
and you can wipe your brow.
