Rsdto Speech

Professor Stanley L. Galpin of Berlin spoke over tho radio last eve nins at station WT1C and strongly defended tho French writers. His speech in part is ab follows:'
 { The general American idea that French literature means something racy ts absolutely false. They gain these ideas from the average books , which are published at American book stores merely to give the reader | book to idle away the time with and get kick out of. The average , American b 1t fault for this selec- ton of French work which is made to suit his taste. Eugene Brieux's Damaged Goods caused . considerable stir when first presented in this country since 1t seemed that the playwright revelled in the ugly side of human experience under the cloak of les sen to be taught. but this was not his intention, An examination of his plays show that Damaged Goods was . genuine reform of the right sort and that its authors whole con- cern had been to take the problems that confronted his fellowmen and offer suggestions in the way of reme. dies"
 Mir. Galpin also cited the work of other French authors. East Berlin Items

By the Associated Press.

by tHe ASSOCldte0 FTcSS.
Among Herbert Hoover's souvenirs OF
seven and half years as Commerce
Secretary is certified copy Of sheet
taken from the musty census records
Of 1880, which attest that he was born
in Iowa. At the time the record was
filed Hoover was years old.
The copy was made at the direction
of william NJ. Steuart, director Of the
census, who, in presenting 1t to the
Republican presidential candidate, de-
scribed it as "the earliest official record
of Herbert Hoover's life"
Mother Born in Canada.
''1 doubt that he could procure any
further proof of his blrth III iowa;
Steuart said, unless he has family
Bible record. as Iowa required no birth
certificates at that time"
The certificate. made by Examiner
Peter Thomas for the Quaker villages
of West Branch and Springdale. Iowa
on June 4, 1880. attests that Hoover's
father and the latter's father and
mother were born In Ohio. but that
the nominees mother and her parents
were born in Canada.
This official record is given OF the
Hoover family:
Jesse c.. aged 80 years. profession.
agricultural implements, born in Ohio:
Hulda r. wife. aged 80 years. profes-
sion, housekeeping. born in Canada:
Theodore. son, aged 9 years. born in
Iowa: Herbert. son. aged years. born
In Iowa: Marv. daughter, aged years.
born in Iowa"
Has School Record.
The certificate bears testimony to
the additional fact that Herbert had
attended school in that census year,
although he then was only years old.
or q year Younger than most youngsters
in those days began their struggle with
the A B C's.
The certificate elected surprised
and interested smile from the nominee.
Mrs. Hoover, when she read it, said:
"Yes. that is right. There are Jesse
and Hulda. and Theodore and Mary"
The document has been carefully
placed away among the other memen-
toes of the nominees service in the
cabinets of Presidents Harding and
Coolidge.
