It would have been nice if this had been an anniversary year of some kind, but the only anniversary we could find is that this is the 35th volume of Mic. However, we decided to go ahead with our comparison of the infant Simmons with the Simmons of 1944 anyway, We have tried to carry out our theme through the line cut illus- trations and in the writing.
