I remember well years ago
Q mother with her three little
babies stalled her automobile
on a railroad track. When
she heard the train coming the
poor soul jumped herself
and, I suppose, automatically
started running, leaving her
three little ones to die. A few
months later the same thing
happened to another mother.

Who Caused Depression?

Yonkers asks: "Do you think the womens
movement against the New Deal spending pro-
gram will do any good?"
It may do great good. The typical American
woman is great budget balancer. The spend
ing program has the bad effect of fastening the
control of the central Government on our necks.
It will give the RooseveltFarley machine billions
Of dollars to spend before election, thus allow
ing q continuation of the wastefdl and futile
policies.

for her own safety. Think of the endless remorse.

One Of the finest doctors in this country had
little patch on his temple He consulted the
very best doctors They told him it was cancer,
treated it with radium and apparently cured it.
Later on it came back on his nose, and the poor
soul suffered the torture Of the damned for
months and months. Now here is a man who

The last time Wilbur appeared in these col
umns we were wondering if he should be permit
ted to live carefree bachelor life or should his
world be saddened and enlarged by the addition
Of Mrs. Wilbur.
We thought about Mrs. Wilbur and the subse
quent increase in the rabbit birth rate for long
time A few days ago we decided that Wilbur
should have some sort of an Easter bunny COM
partnership But that we were not strong enough
to listen not only to the racings on our tin roof
of Mrs. Wilbur and the inevitable and fastaccu-
mulating Wilburettes.

Alas! Alas!
WILBUR came leaping across the tin as
he heard the porch window go up. His
long ears were standing straight. His thick fur
rippled in the April breezes. Suddenly he saw
Horace Immediately he stopped. Reared back
on his hind legs. Paused. Then sprang for
ward and nipped piece out of Horace's ear as
easily as he would have nicked lettuce leaf.
Poor Horace cringed. Ears flat against his
head, Wilbur sprang again and again.

friends" suggested Elene.
So we left them alone. And saw Wilbur chas-
ing poor little Horace around, nippng at his
sides, his ears his nose. Pushing him to the
edge Of the roof and actually giving him shove.
Obviously this was not the place for Horace.
Obviously Wilbur was Jack Rabbit King who
wanted to reign alone. Simple, fraternal COM
panionship was not his line. Sadly we pursued
Horace. Got him back into his box and took
him to the countrywoman.

Mental Pain


MOST people think suicide is a very easy thing
to accomplish. 1t is, if you use gun and
don't miss: and If you resort to medicine you have
to know the exact dose. for if you don't take too
much the stomach pump or nature can save you
I have never been able to make up my mind
whether it takes more nerve to keep on suffering
a living death or end it all peacefully.
The only way to look at it, suppose, is that
physical suffering is never as terrible as mental
suffering. We all Of us must expect both in our
journey through life and think the dear doctor
was right-he took what was coming to him with
his chin up, like the poor mother saving her chill
dren, and there was no awful regret or remorse
for either one Of them.
If, you keep on being happy and cheerful,
accepting your lot and trying to do your best you

frain, IF" had only done this or that And
