Shivering Billy Goat is Proof That
Witches in Germany Are Tottering

Atop the mountain they anoint-
ed the goat with the blood. the
honey and the scrapings of
church bells. They used the
proper pine to light a fire, de-
scribed a circle Of the proper size
and uttered every one Of the
Latin lamentations stipulated.
The goat then was led into the
circle by silver cord. A white
sheet was thrown over him. More
prescribed abraeadabra was in
toned. Then, In weird mono
tone. expert Price doomed "one!"
He continued booming until he
reached "ten!"-with proper
pauses.
While q hundred or so spec
tators, huddled In overcoats, look
ed on, Miss Gordon, the maiden
pure in heart" jerked off the
white sheet.
But no handsome young man
stepped out to greet her. In
stead, there stood the same be-
smeared billy goat, shivering in
the cold.
The witches had failed, and
everybody applauded. for that is
what they set out to prove. AS
DR.. Erich Bohn, a German scho-
lar interested In the experiment,
said:
1T is far from our expectation
to summon witches and spirits
nevertheless, there Is no reason
why these ancient recipes and
rituals should be merely cast
aside, for 1t is the business Of
science to reject nothing so long
- the method it employs Is .
scientific one"

Adoption of the present plank by
the Republican national convention
in Chicago was described by DR.. But

II was told" he said, that SIX
cabinet members were at the con.
vention, that 81 of the 81 delegates
from New York and upward OF 400
of the conventions membership were
officeholders.
This is repugnant to Republican
traditions. In 1904 Roosevelt de-
clared against the election OF federal
officeholders as delegates. And In
1924. in February, Coolidge gave a
stern statement to the press deplor-
ing the sending of postmasters and
other officeholders to the convention
which nominated him."
DR.. Butler said he had been told
that the plank regarding prohibition
as adopted by the convention was
written by Ogden L. Mills, secretary
of the treasury. Ray Benjamin OF San
Francisco, E. A. Van Valkenburg OF
Philadelphia, and Charles F. Scott
of lola, Kansas.

the songs, cheers and booS Of thou

plaza, blocking all traffic but causing
no disorder and voicing no threats.
To make doubly sure the bill would
not come up again this session, its
opponents resorted to strategy which
is as rare in the senate as It is effec-
tive-tabling motion to reconsider

hope of sponsors to bring the question

FARMER-LAB0R|TES
PROPOSE LONG FOR
PRESIDENTIAL RACE
Drop Frank Webb From Head OF
ticket and Brand Him as
Spy For Hoover

Omaha. Neb., June ls.-(P)-Roy M.

Dor party's executive committee, Sat-
urday announced the group has
dropped Colonel Frank E. Webb OF
San Francisco as its presidential can
didate. and the committee has Offer
ed his place on the ticket to Senator
Huey Long Of Louisiana.
Harroh said the committee took ac-
ton against the Californian when its
members became convinced he Is Sc
cret service man and "a spy for Hoo
YER"
I'VE think Long will accept" said
Harroh. He seems to favor our plat
form and he has said he would sup
port the Farmer-Labor candidates at
the election. We figure he Is the only
man In the United States who has got
the nerve to go out and try to remedy
present chaotic conditions"
Long, former governor Of Louisiana
Is a Democrat.
The original charge against Webb
nominated at the national convention
here last April, was brought by Com
mitteeman H. H. Mars of Denver
who asserted Webb was sent to the
convention by President Hoover to get
the nomination and wreck the party
An investigation. Harroh declared
revealed that Webb has not been re-
siding in San Francisco as Ire repre-.
sented. and that he is not listed IN d.
rectories there. Instead. he was ir
washington, on business which the
committee could not determine.
The committee also found, Harrof
said. that Webb had refused to sigr
a statement accepting the platform ir
full, as required Of the nominee.
General Jacob s. Coxey, mayor Of
Massillon. Ohio. will remain as thu
party's vice presidential candidate, re-
gardless of who heads the ticket. Har'

State To Vote
On Blue Law

MADISON. Wis, March 10. (U.P)
-Wisconsin's blue law will be
subjected to the crucial vote of its
83 -year-old career in a referen-
dunn April 5.
The statute provides a maximum
$40 fine for any person attending,
or participating in any form of
entertainment, or sport, or perform
ing any other than necessary, or
charitable work on Sundays.
During the last quarter century
a repeal has been sought IL times,
approved by the assembly, but re-
fused by the more conservative
senate.
In the last session of the state
legislature Assemblyman John w.
Grobschmidt, Milwaukee, whose bill
repealed the state dry law en-
forcement statute, in 1929, asked
the referendum on repeal.
In a series of hearings the law
was defended as a club" for pro-
lection against violation of the
Sabbath, and attacked as a "use-
less" statute hanging over heads
of Wisconsin citizens as a threat to
their rights.
The referendum resolution drew
a one-side favorable majority in
the assembly and survived the SEN
ate roll call by seven votes.

PROPER EDUCATIONAL METHODS

mind is not normal. Through prop
er study DR.. Fenton pointed out
these various children can be di-
rected into happy normal individ-
uals; without proper direction they
may become a menace to society.
According to the speaker, when
the program for the travelling clinic
was started two years ago there
was an overcroWded condition in
Whittier school for boys, of which
DR.. Fenton has been director, and
the jailS and detention homes were
filled with children waiting to get
into that school. Today, he pointed
out, there are as vacancies in the
school, which more than pays for
the work of the clinic. While this
is not entirely due to the work of
the department of institutions, 1t
denotes a tendency to prevent,
rather than punish delinquency.
I'VE have $4,000 persons in hos
pitalS for the insane in California"
said the speaker, "and now we are
building an additional hospital. 1t
is good craftsmanship to prevent
persons from needing to enter in

ditional institutions. In San Quen-
