The Capitol Chaws
The old order changeth up at
the Capitol.
With the return Of legal
LIQUOR there is taken away Q
type of furniture that was both
useful and decorative along the
old brass rail.
The wellknown tinkle Of
tapped brass gives way to dull
thudding crockery the luStre
Of small metal receptacleS finds
in it's stead the dubious beauty
of high, rose-covered jars.
The change, so tits said, is IN
preparation for a session Of
"chewin' the rag!
History Repeats
History repeats itself, and
Senator Carter Glass and for.
mer Senator Robert l.. Owen
clash again over monetary
questions.
Years ago in the Wilson re-
gime, Glass, then chairman OF
the House Banking and Cur
rency Committee, crossed
swords with Owen, who was
chairman Of the Senate Bank
ing Committee, on the Fed
eral Reserve question.
At q recent hearing Owen
appeared before the Senate
Committee to discuss infla-
tion.
Glass is an influential mem
ber of the committee.
And once more flashed the
verbal encounter between him
and the raven-locked Owen,
who responded with all the
fervor of his Cherokee an
cestry.
