Scooting to the scene- of a prank the radio cars fre quently arrived as the deed was be ing consummated. "Put 'em back, boys," was the unfailing order. And sheepishly the pranksters returned tho sign or replaced the porch, seat.

"X was far more impressed by what tho president didn't say than by what ho said," Farley commented. "My rapt attention went unrewarded. I had heard the report that he had a very Important commitment to make on prohibition, but he remained true to the ducking and dodging of the Republican platform and failed to say one word on this subject of such vast importance politically, socially and economically to the entire na tion. "I would characterize Mr. Hoover's speech as a scarecrow. He simply put up a lot of straw men and proceeded to knock them down.
