Bishop Manning, head of the Episcopal Church in New York City, declared in a sermon, "Our sympathies, our moral support, and whatever ever aid we can rightly give at this time must be with those who at untold cost are upholding the principles and ideals of human life in which we believe." President Seymour of Yale warned that "a defeat, complete or even partial, of the Western democracies in the present war must be regarded as a disaster of the first magnitude for this country."

Heavy as was the cost of the depression in terms of human distress, its intellectual wreckage was almost as great; like those dump heaps of wrecked cars that lie out-side U. S. towns, U.

If he competes at steer wrestling, he has to hire a "hazer" (a mounted assistant to flank the steer going out of the chute...
