Each year, President Roosevelt rides to the 13th floor of the National Press Building to see himself and other leading lights in official Washington lampooned unmercifully. Wives of members of the Gridiron Club which sponsors the affair, got together and within the last few years have held a party of similar nature at the White House for Mrs. Roosevelt, with members of the Gridiron Widows putting on a skit to poke fun at wives of leading figures on a 'Rancho 40' skit, with Mrs. Raymond Clapper, wife of Columnist Clapper, cracking the whip as Ringmaster. 1- A couple of dark horses - and Mrs. Farley by proxy. 'Uncle Jim' Farley, holding aloft the message that 'Mrs. Farley scratched,' stands like a [...] colossus over the two dark horses, John L. Lewis and Clark Gable.
