Which only shows how we humans exaggerate. 1933 wasn't
so good, but as far as this country was concerned, it might have
been a lot worse. Its first three months undoubtedly marked
the nadir of the depression, but its last three months as certainly
marked the most cheering period ,in the past four years.
The year seemed worse than it really was, because it marked
the fourth straight yeat of unrelieved depression. Such things
are cumulative. As time goes on the powers of resistance start
to decline, nerves which had held up for three years of strain,
begin to crack. And as usual those who hold to the myth that
a change of political administration would mark an immediate
transformation, are due to a rude awakening.

Is so vague a conception that the
doctor who use It as a diagnostic
makeshift are quite g&fe, for no one
can tell at the onset what the al

is easy to stall along on the fake
