Stop using that word "depres-
sion!"
Stop thinking you have a
right to be depressed.
Depression isn't an inevitable
thing, an excusable thing. It's
a contemplate thing.
DEPRESSION, WHEN YOUR
COUNTRY IS IN TROUBLE, is
AS CONTEMPTIBLE AS DE-
SERTION WHEN YOUR
COUNTRY IS UNDER FIRE.
You despise a deserter. You
understand his temptation, of
course. You, too. have been
afraid and wanted to run
away. But a real man doesn't
let himself run away just be-
cause he's afraid. If he has
the spunk of a tick, he sticks.
That's the way you thing
about a man who runs away
with his legs. BUT 1T HAS
NEVER OCCURRED TO YOU
TO THINK IN THAT WAY
ABOUT THE MAN WHO
RUNS AWAY WITH HIS
MIND. Yet a man can be
yellow with his mind as well
as his legs. And during this
last year we Americans, who
were always SO proud OF our
courage, have turned yellow!
We are running away, just as
surely as the deserter runs
away. Only we call his cow
ardice "desertion. And we
call our cowardice "depres-
sion" BUT THE EFFECT ON
THE UNTRY IS THE
SAME.
We Admit It
But times are hard" you
say. TITS bound to make a
fellow do some serious think
ing"
Sure, times are hard. And
we should all do serious think
ing. But that's no sign thai
we should resign ourselves to
depression. Times were hard
for that little army at Valley
Forge. But they didn't sit
around, wallowing in gloom,
thinking how hard times were.
THEY KEPT MOVING! Rag
ged and hungry, bleeding and
freezing, they kept moving

Novel "Cure" for
Depression

Novel cure 1Or
Depression
Editor, Times:
I have the solution to end the
depression. Some one said that
if each American family would
spend $1OO, putting that much
money in circulation would re-
store business to normalcy.
The only trouble is that most
of us haven't the hundred to
spend. Hence here is my Solu-
ton:
The Government recently pre-
sented to the ex-soldiers a nice
bonus. Why not extend that
generosity?
Let the Government give to
every adult person in the coun-
try $1OO. They would spend
this and the repression would be
over. 1t would be expensive to
the Government, but the ex-
pense would be cheap compared
with the result.
If my suggestion Is adopted I
feel it but right that I should
receive the first 500.

He scored those who peddle un-
