INFECTED IN THE HEAD
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

really desire to keep themselves
and others decent, will sit for hour
after hox, pumping dirty stories
into each others minds until they
feel at the end of the orgy as If
their mentalities and their souls
should be scrubbed with carbolic
acid as a matter of rurification.
Sometimes a deadly mental dis
ease germ will drop into the mind
from goodness knows where. I'm
less speedily destroyed, it may
spread and multiply until the en-
tire consciousness is filled with it
and the entire outlook is clouded
and corrupted. A person thus men,
tally infected may proceed to do
things so atrocious that later on
he he will be amazed at his own
actions, and will ask himself Won
deringly: "What could have pos
sessed me?" Something had pos
sesesd him, all right, all right. A
vicious mental infection had pos
sessed him. ....
The. physical body is so con-
structed that under ordinary con-
ditions it will protect itself against
infection. If every dangerous dis
ease germ that has entered your
system had lived and multiplied
you would have been dead long
ago. Every day your body wards
off and the white cells in your
blood destroy thousands, yes, mil
lions of obnoxious microbes.
While the body automatically
protects itself from infection, the
mind does not, unless it has been
taught to do so. The owner of a
mind has to train that mind to
safeguard itself against thought
contamination. How? BY educat-
ing the mind to reject and eject
harmful thoughts the instant they
appear. Once such thoughts are
permitted to lodge, they are diff
ficult, perhaps, impossible to re-
move.
Sometimes flight is the safe
guard to employ against a men,
ace of mental infection, just as
flight is sometimes the course to
pursue to escape bodily contagion
or Infection. If we were walking
along a highway and suddenly
realized that we were about to

THE BODY CAN STARVE IF THE
MIND is Fed
nv BRUCE CATION

(By BRUCE CAIIUN3 .r-.
The most interesting stunt that Will De
tried in Germany this winter will be- an
attempt by the Nazi authorities to per-
suade everybody that it's nice to be nun
CRY. -,
Germany faces a terrifeally difficult
winter. The economic crisis gets graVer.
An actual shortage in certain food supplies
is fereseen. The raw materials on which
many of Germany's greatest industries de-
pend cannot be obtained, because Ger
many has nothing to use for money to buy
them.
So. facing a season of want and hard
ship, the Hitler government is preparing
to meet it in a new way-by persuading
people that Tightening your belt is great
fun.
The opening guns in this strange propa-
ganda campaign have already been fired.
The bad economic situation is being
blamed on the errors of Hitler's predeces-
sors in office and on the hostility of seer
tain international chques" outside of Ger
many.
After this will come great broadsides
extolling the virtues of endurance and SELF
sacrifice. A tremendous barrage of ora
tory, biliboards, and newspaper articles
will glorify the Spartan ability to do with
out things. Germany will be sold, if the
energetic Nazis can possibly accomplish
It, on the idea that winter of extreme
hardship is only a new challenge to pa
triotism.
Now this is interesting, not simply be-
cause Herr Hitler is going to try to make
an asset out of great liability. Its real
significance lies in its revelation of the
tremendous power which control of the
sources of propaganda gives to man OF
q party in this modern world.
; A dictatorship does not, in the last an
alysis, depend directly on guns and bayc-
bets. It depends on the power to mold
public opinion. All that the guns and bay
onets can do is pat that power exclusively
ID the dictator's hands .
In other words, dictatorship does not
survive because it makes people put up
with it's sway; it survives because, quite
literally, it can make them like it.
1t does violence to the mind and not to
the body. It creates the state of mind that
j. favorable to it; as long as it, can do that,
It's acts of actual terrorism are only Incl
dental. ...r as .a 9
Could there be greater object lesson
in favor of free speech and free press
As long as the sources of propaganda are
open to all, there can be no dictatorship.

Editor, The Times-News,
Dear Sir:
Hendersonville, n. G..
AS the manager of the Hodge
we'll hotel, | wish to call attention
through the press to the fact that
the newsboys selling the Asheville
Sunday Citizen-Times and the
daily papers are on the streets, on
the post office steps, and imme-
diately around my hotel, from
6:30 to 700 a. m. each morning,
waking up my guests and giving
them no chance for further sleep
once they have disturbed their
rest and brought them down into
the lobby. ...
We have complete news stand,
giving all papers full representa-
ton, on our corner, and / see no
reason why either my guests or
myself should be disturbed at this
early hour by a bunch of noisy
urchins who are competing with a
legitimate merchant who pays Ii
cense to sell newspapers and mag
azineS on our corner.
| sincerely believe that the city
commissioners of the City of Hen
Jacksonville should endeavor to
have a stop put to this public
nuisance.
Sincerely yours,

Manager of the Hodgewell Hotel.

Recently there appeared in the
Voice of the People column of
your newspaper a letter signed by
a Hendersonville merchant won
dering why license could not be

tition directly in front of his place
of business.
AS a man who was formerly in

ness, | wish to say nat l am
heartily in sympathy with this
merchant who pays license and
feel that some means of controll-
ing this unfair competition should
be instigated by our mayor and
city commissioners.
