T

of the St. Louis Post-Dinpatch, adds one more tn the small and exclusive list of what may rightfully be called "famous cartoons." Most cartoons deal with ephemeral things and are therefore essentially ephemeral themselves. The haste of modern daily American Journalism is ah impelling force back of the mind and the hand of the cartoonist as It la of lift other newspaper workers. So his mind must grasp quickly tl>e spirit of some current event or some thought which is the paramount concern of that fickle thing known as public interest and "with a few strokes of his pen or brush his hand records an Interpretation of the •vent or thought which the millions of newspaper readers can grasp quickly and easily. Conceived In huge, executed in haste and directed to the attention of a people, in the background of whose thought ever lurks the words “Hurry! Hurry!" it Is not to lie wondered ut that the average cartoon lacks the i»ermanency of other forms of pictorial art. Occasionally, however, some cartoon, timely though it may be, has some indefinable quality of permanence, some universal appeal, which so strikes the popular fancy that It Ilves beyond the brief 24-hour existence of the average cartoon and can be looked at as pleasurably and profitably a week, a month or even years later as It could on the day It was first printed on the daily newspaper page. So these exceptions to the rule of the cartoon as an ephemeral thing make them all the more notable and worthy of tn? designation of “famous cartoons." Perhaps the most striking example of the cartoon which Ilves is John T. McCutcheon's "Injun Summer." It was first published In the Chicago Tribune tn the autumn 7 of 1907. Although McCutcheon almost Immediately began to receive leters of appreciation. It cannot be fairly asserted that It created a sensation, as do some cartoons — Including others by McCutcheon himself—which enjoy a brief day of fame and are then forgotten. It, was so typical of the kindly, human work which this Hoosier artist and author has been doing with his peu for Chicago newspapers for nearly a quarter of a century, that readers of the Tribune, for which he has worked since 1908, accepted it pretty much as a matter of course. They looked at the two pictures—the rows of corn shocks in one transformed by the magic of Imagination into a tented Indian village in the other—, read the homely explanation of “Injun Summer" given the little boy by his grandfather and smiled reflectively as they thought of similar “Injun stories** that their grandfathers had told them. Perhaps some of them clipped the cartoon and laid it away so » that they could look at It and enjoy It again. Then the next day Its place tn their thought* was taken by another of McCutcheon's cartoons on congress, or' some problem of the farmers or the local political situation. But a year later, when Indian rammer came around again, the Tribune began to receive requests that the cartoon be reprinted. So It appeared again and every autumn since that time, when the soft blue haze begins to spread over the Middle West as a token that Indian summer Ik again at hand, the same request comes in to the Tribune, “Please reprint John McCutcheon's 'lnjun Summer* cartoon." So its appearance has become an annual event and to readers of this newspaper throughout the Mississippi valley, that appearance is looked uponas a herald of a season as much as the wild geese honking northward foretell the coming of spring. "InJun Summer" Is a famous cartoon —nearly twenty years of popularity Is sufficient evidence of that fact. It Is also a Tribune tradition, almost as much of an Institution in that newspaper as is McCutcheon himself. So It was eminently fitting that only recently It should be reproduced as a mural painting on the walls of the news room in

the Tribune tower, .the new home of that newspaper which hs one of the striking figures on the Michigan boulevard skyline. So a simple newspair cartoon which had those rare cartoon qualities of universal appeal and what is known in the newspaper world as “good any time" becomes a work of enduring art. Another cartoon for which, like McCutcheon's “Injun Summer,” there is an annual request for republication is the Lincoln’s birthday cartoon drawn by H. T. Webster in 1918. Webster is now on the staff of the New York World, but he was at that time drawing for the New York Tribune and his work then, as now, was syndicated to many dailies throughout the United States. The title of his cartoon was “Hardin County, 1809. ’ It shows two pioneers meeting in a snowy country road on the Kentucky frontier. “Anv news down f th' village, EzryT" asks one. “Well,’’ replies the other. “Squire McLean's gone t’ Washington U see Madison swore in, an’ ol’ Spellman tells me this Bonaparte fella has captured most o’ Spain. What's new out here, neighbor’" “Nothin’ a tall, nuthin’ a tall,” disclaims the first. “ ’Cept fer a new baby down t’ Tom Lincoln's. Nuthin’ ever haHpens out here.” As in the case of “Injun Summer," “Hardin County, 18U9" waa not a sensation at the time. But in it Webster put something—an Idea, a feeling. a sharp reality—which gave it a lasting appeal and every year, some time before February 12, newspapers which were then using the New York Tribune syndicate service and printed this cartoon receive requests for its republication. ■ Perhaps one reason for the appeal of this cartoon as well as that of others by Webster lies In the fact that he. like Clare Briggs, Is known better as a “cartoonist of Boyhood" than a cartoonist of current events. Briggs and Webster. Briggs with his “Days of Real Sport” and “When a Feller Needs a Friend” and Webster with his “Thrill That Cornea Once in a Lifetime" and “Life’s Darkest Moment,” have preserved In pictures the life of the American boy on the farm and tn the small town as faithfully as Mart Twain, Booth Tarkington and Judge Henry a. Shute have done It tn literature. Webster was born in Wisconsin, lived the life of a country lad there, felt the lure of the "big white tops." ran away with a circus and traveled for awhile as a down. Then he drifted Into newsjmper work and eventually landed in New York as cartoonist for the Evening Globe. Later he went to the Tribune and from it to the World where he Is still chronicling the joys and tragedies in the life of American boyhood. Still another famous cartoon, which, differing widely in motif from both “Injun Summer” and “Hardin County. 1800,” but having the same universal appear and constant timeliness, is “The Canopy of Liberty,” by Magnus a Kettner. cartoonist for a newspaper syndicate, the Western Newspaper Union. “The Canopy of Liberty” was drawn for Flag day in 1918. It was a time when America was giving to the utmost of her re-

sources with her army of soldiers in Europe and her army of civilians at home. It was at a time when the fate of the world still hung in the balance. In such an hour of crisis the spirit of Flag day had a deeper meaning than usual and It was that spirit which Kettner caught in his cartoon. Without the support of the civilian army at home. the. efforts of the American army on the western front could not succeed. In the cartoon the symbol of that civilian army was the young farmer standing with bared head, facing toward the national capItol in which has been centered the ideal of liberty and democracy, the ideal on which the American nation was founded and for which Its wars have been fought. And over it all spreads the "canopy of liberty," the Stars and Stripes! Kettner’s cartoon which expressed so well what was in the minds and hearts of the American people at that time met with instant fav4r when it waa published in the thousands of papers served by the syndicate for which he draws. It was reprinted in magazines and many requests were received from patriotic organizations by the editor of the syndicate for the original drawing. Because of its universal appeal and constant timeliness, “The Canopy of Liberty” is as strong a cartoon today, in times of peace, as it was in 1918, in a time of war. Government officials may fail of their trust, faith in the working of our form of government may be shaken, but the heart of America, as symbolized by the young farmer, still looks to the national capltol under the canopy of liberty, the Stars and Stripes, as the symbol of its abiding faith that ths nation will live. , "The Canopy of Liberty ” however, was only one of. many striking cartoons which Kettner drew during the war. So valuable was his work in support of food conservation that Secretary Herbert Hoover more than once wrote personal letter! of appreciation and several originals of Kettner’s cartoons are framed and hang upon the walls of Mr. Hoover’s office in Washington. The fame of his work spread abroad and one of bls cartoons, drawn after the Armistice and showing the defeated Germany going home “in a barrel.” was reprinted in the London Ta tier as one of the most striking comments on the retribution which had overtaken the Prussian war lords. During the war. and long afterward, Kettner received In letters many echoes of the influence of his work. One soldier wrote of having seen one of his cartoons dipped from a “home-town paper” pasted up on the wails of a French dug-out which had been occupied by a detachment of Yanka. It was a cartoon -with the rimpie title of “Diggin’ In” and showed that while our soldiers over there were “digging In” to repulse the enemy, the civilian array at home was “digging in" In its gardens and fields to make the last line of defense against the foe—a simple picture which had evidently heartened some war-weary Yank with its thought that the home folks were backing up hia efforts.

Fringed Frocks Many of the newest evening frocks are fringed from waist to hem, others have a single deep fringe reaching from the knees to the bottom of the skirt. In each case, however, the fringe constitutes the only trimming. Plain Backgrounds Plaid chiffon and plaid taffetas are vary smart this year, particularly for afternoon frocks.
