The first convention was when
the snake got together with Eve
and Adam. The snake had the
floor and made a motion .about
the apple crop. I think he was
put up to it really by the gar-
ment trade. They decided that
the practice of going around in
your birthday clothes wasn't
good for business.
The Next Time
Ever since then people criti-
cize conventions but keep coming
to them: Said Phil Slomovitz of
Detroit at the convention: "May-
be some day, I'll be wise enough
not to come to conventions." But
we will lay odds that he will be
at the next important Jewish
convention just a week or two
hence.
And speaking about that Zion-
ist convention, many of the dele-
gates said that there were so
many Zionist present at the
Waldorf conference, it ought to
be regarded as the Zionist con-
vention and the Columbus meet-

ing of Sept. 12 ought to be called
off.

One thing we know. Every-
body at the Waldorf was looking
for something. We found Charles
Cowen looking for his wife,
Simon Shetzer looking for a New
York Times, the judges at the
convention, Judges, Levinthal,
Proskauer, Rothenb e and
Fisher, probably looking for pre-
cedents—or is it presidents.
