Non-Drinkers

To a Sunday audience in Baltimore, Senator Heflin said: "There are so few wet advocates in the Senate they could be put inside a taxicab."

Pleased, Senator Heflin later quoted himself on the Senate floor.

Up bounded Senator Bruce (father-in-law of Andrew W. Mellon's daughter): "Well, the number of senators who decline a drink when it is offered to them could be put into a smaller cubic content than a taxicab."

Senator Willis: "I hope there is nothing personal about that remark. If so, I shall resent it vigorously."

Senator Bruce: "Oh, no, I absolve the senator from Ohio, the mouthpiece of the Anti-Saloon League, Senator Sheppard of Texas and Senator Jones of Washington."

No Senator requested him to add their names to the nondrinking list.
