 some of the gunners were the bravest. They kept on firing al- though covered with blood, asking me to take care of the others first. One of the men had his lower arm blown oie, but we saved him with plasma."
 "When the planes came in for their second run they hit us again. Our guns were ready and We got three of them this time. But the gas went aflame and the decks were like an inferno. The skipper or dered us to abandon ship, and we managed to get most of the serious ly wounded ashore. The men at the guns who were killed at their sta- tions were cremated. The skipper wouldn't let us chance trying to get them off"
 Land fighting was still going on when we reached the beach. so we had to build foxholes, and for the next week. that's where we lived. The ship was perfect target, since the fire lit the sky, especially at night. The Japs came over several times, but they missed her. She's a tough old ship all right, because we saved her even though she was burned, bombed and beached."
 The Brooklyn Coast Guardsman was commended for his efficient performance in saving the lives of his wounded comrades and was pro- noted to first class pharmacists mate.

When depression comes, tackle yourself and do not merely blame circumstance. Circumstances are often so tragic and crushing as to make dejecion inevitable. To be sad in bereavement, disheartened by dis appointment, dismayed by the worlds greed and cruelty, diSconso- late when personal trust is betrayed, and even sullen under abuse, is nat ural. Nevertheless, to deduce from the presence of misfortune the right to be a Respondent person, is fatal error.
 In any depressing situation the decisive element is not so much the situation itself or the natural emotional reaction to 1t as the kind of person who stands up to meet the experience and do something with it. Whatever circumstances surround a misanthrope. he will see and emphasize their seamy side. AS Horace put it long ago, Unless the vessel is clean, what ever you pour into 1t turns sour" Life is an assimilative process in which we transmute into our own quality whatever comes into us.
 It's very odd thing
 As odd as can be.
 That whatever Miss T. eats
 Turns into Miss T.
 To say that depressing circum- stances make depressed persons has an important measure of truth in it, but to say that depressed persons can make depression out of any circumstances whatsoever goes deeper into the problem.
 This truth is especially pertinent in a tragic era when the world is upset by catastrophe events. Not to be depressed by such public calamitieS as afflict mankind would reveal an inSensitive spirit. Nevertheless, the more depressing the time. the more people are needed who maintain their morale in spite of 1t and attack life with constructive courage. Such peo- pie face all the facts that the dis couraged face and fueel them just as poignantly, but in confronting the world they do not forget to confront themselves.
 They are not merely mirrors to reflect a tragic situation but per sons who have their say concern ing the meaning of that situation to themselves and others. The catastrophe eras in history have produced two types of personality the cowed. disillusioned, and emotionally disintegrated, and the courageous, coherent, and creative. Some people are merely ther- mometers, registering the tenn perature; others are thermostats, not only registering the tempera- ture but setting in motion proc esses by which 1t is controlled and changed.
 Many today, emotionally shaken, blame their disorganizati ton on the sad estate of the world whereas their real problem is within themselves AS D. H. Lawrence wrote concerning one of his characters. Poor Rich ard Lovatt wearied himself to death struggling with the problem of him. self, and calling 1t Australia"
 Whatever the situation. and however naturally disheartening it may be. 1t is great hour when man ceases adopting it as an ex- cuse for despondency and tackles himself as the real problem. No mood need be his master. He is bound to have occasions when he understands the meaning of the old proverb, Every mile is two in winter" but at this point the

It is swoon day on Stage II at

Long, overcome by the clunking, is
supposed to faint dead away.
1t develops quickly that there are
several schools Of thought on the
swooning subject. Audrey is all set
to go into spiral sort of swoon,
descending gradually to the floor,
but Director Edwin Marin has other
ideas born of technical problems.
'.It's too quick" he says. II must
have more footage SO I can cut
back to Wayne on the floor. You
must swoon more slowly.
Maybe" Wayne suggests, "she
could put her hand to her face, over
her eyes, like she was dizzy, and
then slump down."
'Show me-" Audrey requests.
Wayne does. All 6 feet 8 of him

Presents a Lively
No, No, Nanette'
By ELENA de SAYN.

Turning from light opera to musi-
cal comedy, the Columbia Light
Opera Co. gave a very creditable
account Of its teamwork and indi-
vidual ability in Youman's famous
mo, No, Nannette," last night at
the Roosevelt auditorium, under the
able direction of Ethyl Manning.
Responsible for the staging and for
the entire production, Mrs. Man
ming deserves q great deal of credit
for training a cast of some go young
people, some of whom had no pre-
vious experience.
Florenz HIM, in the role of Jimmy
Smith, wealthy businessman
whose lavish generosity is taken
advantage Of and is the theme of
the play, was the center of atten-
ton. His impersonation reached
new heights and bore a decided pro-
fessional stamp. Other principals
on whose shoulders rested the re-
sponsibility of the performance were
such popular singers as Jeanette
Bittner, as Nanette; Amelia Shor-
day, as Sue Smith, Jimmy's thrifty
wife, and Connie Kruger, as Lucille
Early. Vladimir Du Bois and Ker-
per Propert, as Tom and Billy Early,
respectively, gave a good account
of themselves.

ing Of the tempermental cook Pau
