adventure.

Il know OF no man with a more
definite mind than his" said Farley
Il know Of no executive less likely
to be swayed by impractical theories,
regardless of their source. than the

slumps do not long outlive the pass
ing of the period of depression. 1t is
different with the psychological eff
fects. The scars left by such stresses
as the average individual has gone
through during the last few years will
be seen and felt over a vastly greater
period
He singled out the citizens conserva-
ton camps. subsistence tracts, home
and farm mortgage relief agencies and
kindred measures as features of the
recovery program that were aimed at
the rebuilding of morale, confidence
snd hope.
