O. P. Relied On 'Memory' CONVENTION HALL, Philadelphia. The Democratic and Re publican keynoters were like the stuttering; teacher and the hair lipped pupil. They were talking about the same thing from different angles.

The only difference between Cleveland and Philadelphia Is as the crow flies. Both Hamilton and Farley want to save the nation from a fate worse than debte. Plenty of Palm Bench clothes here, but only the Southern Democrats know how to wear them. An Alabama colonel in linen looks as fool n.s a roof pardon in Skng. way.

Put a fat New York Democrat in the same uniform and he winkles up like a wash woman's thumb. The Democrats can cheer louder and longer than the Republicans bjt they have something to cheer about. A Republican outburst of applause is strictly from memory. Farley is balder than a spanked baby's rattle. When you look at the place where Jim's hair used to be you wonder how much money he got for plowing that crop under.

The President accepted the nomination in Franklin Field. That's the place where Penn plays football when Pcnn has a team. The conventions are over, thanks be. And now for the Fourth of July. If we must listen to noises, give us flrecrakers.

Fourth of July celebrations are like political conventions not only in noise making but in another respect. The Declaration of Independence is mentioned but seldom read. Some people are so naturally conservative they'd get fits if they heard some of the thinps the fathers wrote into that revolutionary document. You've got to say this, though, for political conventions. They uncover a lot of forgotten history.

And why not? Conventions being what they are, Ford's definition cf history is apropos. You remember? "History is the bunk," said Henry. Hey wood Broun accused Father Coujthlin of holding "a telephone booth convention." Nothing of the kind! It was a microphone. In a political campaign everything is either black or white. Only off season are there such things as gray.

A local rounder, who has been advised to take more exercise, is looking for a tavern equipped with parallel bp.rs. National Woman's party demands that women have equal rights before the law with men. Still, we've never seen a man ogle his way out of a speed ticket. "A couple of years ago," postcards L. W.

"the Republicans went back to the horse and buggy. "During the recent convention in Cleveland their vehicle was a prairie sjijooncr drawn by four oxen. By 1940 it'll be a wheel chair with an out board motor." We don't understand why the outboard motor? Another good way to find out who'll win the Presidency Is to ask the sports editors who picked Joe Louis as a 10 to 1 shot to make their guesses. The concensus of opinion will then show that the other fellow will win. There was a good deal said at the Philadelphia convention about the big shots who were Jittery in Hoover's last days who are now arting as inerates towards the man who saved their bacon.

That's the big shots. But the great mass of American people may not bite the hand that gave them a glass of beer. 4 In Divorce Court Proceedings Started Fern E. Hoffer, Chestnut street, against Cyril R. Hoffer, Greenfields, for desertion, through Lee Friday, attorney.

MAJORITY IN STATE SENATE Tells 7,000 Socialists Partisanship Menaces Pensions ALLEN HITS NEW DEAL Declares It Has No Cure For. Technological Unemployment Seven thousand persons journeyed to Socialist Park at Sinking Spring yesterday to hear Darlington Hoopes, Socialist legislator from Reading, and DeVere Allen, member of the Socialist national executive committee from Connecticut, flay the Roosevelt administration and the Republican majority in the state senate. Stewart Tomllnson, Reading councilman, was chairman of the meeting, which was the highlight of one of the summer's series of Socialist Jamborees at their park on the out skirts of Sinking Spring. Hoopes confined his talk chiefly to an outline of the activities of the special session of the legislature which will go into its ninth week tonight. He declared that politics "may get the better of" the state mothers' assistance law and described the Republican Democratic maneuvers to amend or prevent amendment of the existing law ao as to bring it within the provisions of the federal Social Security Act.

Hoopes told how Democrats were resisting a Republican effort to amend the present law so as to have mothers' assistance fund boards, in each county, of nine in stead of seven members, and have three of the nine appointed oy the governor, three by each loal court, and one each by the local county commissioners. The legislator expressed fear that the partisan ma neuverings would Jeopardize a pen sion system that has been in effect in Pennsylvania for about a score of years. Waxing ironic at the fashion in which the legislature "has been mak ing a political football of unemployment relief, Hoopes said: "Cafeteria" Relief "Slowly but surely the Republi cans and Democrats In the general assembly arc placing relief on a cafeteria basis. First they granted relief sppropriatons for a month at a time. Then they started making weekly, or almost weekly, approprla tions.

It won't be long, I'm afraid, until relief will be on a day to day basis, and every unemployed man and woman in Pennsylvania will have to come to Harrisburg and prove individually to each of the 258 members of the house and senate that he is hungry. Then. I suppose he will be given a sandwich and a cup of coffee and sent home until he is hungry again. Then he'll have to come back and prove he's hungry all over." Illustrating the great recent technological gains which have put many men out of work. Allen de clared that in the days of his grand father, who was a brickmaker, a workmen could make about 50 bricks a day.

This was speeded up, until about a dozen years ago, to about 400 a day. Now there 5 a machine, manned by a single work man, that can make 40,000 bricks a day and displace a proportionate number of workers, Allen said. Sees I'nemployment Increase Such technological unemployment, the speaker declared, Is bound to increase with the years, and little by little greater "dlscmployment" will occur that is, men will not be temporarily unemployed, but will have no place at all in any Industry, for short or long periods, for low pay or high. The Roosevelt administration, Al ien said, has no remedy for such a situation. Socialism, he declared, is the only remedy for technological unemployment.

Allen also scored the Roosevelt regime for failing to nationalize all banks at the time of the banking rrisls in March, 1933, when the President, in his inaugural address, promised to "drive the moneychangers from the temple." Allen told of the "municipaliza tion" of banks in England and said he had been told by an official of one municipal bank in Great Britain that the bank had lost a total of $20 on an extensive municipal hous ing program it had financed. Turning to a discussion of the Roosevelt administration's huge appropriations to the army and navy, Allen declared that by the war de partment's own figures no foreign power successfully could invade the United States and maintain any sizeable fighting force. From this he argued that huge "preparedness" appropriations were unnecessary. GERMANSSLAIN IN ETHIOPIA ADDIS ABABA, June 28 WV Slaughter of a German missionary named Mueller, his wife and their two children by western Ethiopians near Bedel was reported tonight by the British consui at Gore. go He Can Put His Odorless Goats Beside Carnation And Win, Nosey Reporter Says of Berks Breeder Trip to Goldsborough Farm in Mohnton Convinces Skeptic By FRANK TRAGLE AMERICANS can take their goats or leave them alone.

Berks countians for the most part prefer leaving them alone. And. take I Trom C. B. Golds borough, it's all because wc aren't goat conscious.

Goldsborough knows as much about goats as anyone else in the 4, county, perhaps more. In fact, he advertises himself as the "World's Largest Breeder and Shipper of Improved Hornless, Odorles Swiss and African Goats." It was that word, odorless, that clicked in the mind of the editor. Being a clty bsed individual he was even less goat conscious than the average Berks countian so he sent this writer over to the hills behind Mohnton to smell Into the matter. All Very Simple Well, just to set your mind at rest, an odorless goat Is odorless. There's no slight of nose work about it, either.

It's Just as simple as can be. All you have to do is se'ect the right breeds. Take, if you will, a California Giant Anglo Nubian. Now there's a goat that Goldsborough will put up beside any carnation in the greenhouse, and the goat will come out ahead. The reason, of course, being that the carnation has an odor and the California Giant Anglo Nubian hasn't.

Goldsborough was a bit mystified that this writer should inquire so earnestly about the odorless qualities of his goats. It's old stuff to him and other goat raisers. There have been odorless goats almost as long as there have been odorful goats. The trouble is that the average mongrel goat ba baaing in some farmer's barnyard enjoys an aroma about as pleasing as a farmer's mongrel pup that has struck up an acquaintance with a pig, and consequently must everyone assumes that all goats give forth the same indelicate perfume. "Nonsense," said Goldsborouph.

"Come here and smell this one." The Proof He pointed tp one of a giant hornless odorless variety (hat was nibbling at the right front tire of the truck which Goldsborough uses to transport his flocks. Your correspondent smelled and all he could detect was a faint aroma of gasoline that was dripping from the carburetor of the truck. "Ah," said your correspondent. "What did I tell you," beamed Goldsborough. Goldsborough has been in the goat business for 30 years.

Besides the farm he owns in the hills back of Mohnton, he has another farm of 2.000 acres along the eastern shore of Maryland. At present 500 of his goats are in Maryland and only about a dozen in Berks county. "I transport them back and forth." he explained, "according to the market." But the flock of 500 isn't anything to get e.v about Goldsborough at times nas counted his goats in the thour.ds. "Well, if you're up here and the poats are in Maryland how do you know they're going to be there when you get back?" your correspondent asked. Water Shy "In the first place," he replied, "they won't run away because the land i by a small creek and a water ditch.

A goat won't cross water. You have to drag a goat with a truck it you Rant him to get his knees wet. They Just don't like it. So I k.iow they won't leave the tract. To guard them there are dogs and fom3 of my horned goats." Incidentally, Goldsborough sells many of nis hornec goats to farmers who want their sheep protected.

"A horned goat will guard a flock of fheep 1 Ke a night watchman," he said. "And I pity the tiog that attempts to run off with a lamb." GoJl boroiigh doesn't sell the milk. The state would require him to establish a regular dairy in order to do it and he says it isn't worth the trouble. He's Interested primarily in raising and selling the goats and using the milk to nurse the kids. The excess he and his wife drink.

Odorless goat milk is dellciors, ycu can take it from this reporter, who h3s drunk odorful and tearless goat milk. Goldsborough poured cut a tumblerful that was Just short of a tint and it went down with the greatest of ease. Milk Beneficial Goldsborough says goat milk Is very beneficial because he claims it digests easier and much faster than cow's milk. A goat, furthermore, he says, is easier and cheaper to raise and suffers from fewer diseases than does a cow. Proof, according to Goldsborough, of the nutritive values of goat milk is a Belgian stallion he uses on the farm.

"I raised him on goat's milk from the time he was a couple days old," he said. "His mother (Turn to rage Twenty Two) I 0 7fefvS Dorothy Rentschlcr, six, and her sister, Lily, eight, neighbors of C. B. Goldsborough, Mohnton breeder of hornless and odorless goats, have made a pet of one of his California Giant Anglo Nubian babies. They wouldn't be interested if he wasn't odor less.
