A Thought for Today
80 teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts unto
wisdom—Psalm 90:12.
It avails us nothing unduly to e-
moan our errors or loses. For hap-
pen what may to the man of simple
faith. still. when the last minute of
the sorrowful hour comes when the
week or the year_ is ended. still will he.
find some cause for gladness as he
turns his eyes within. -—Maeterlinck.
.___————
Building Boom.
There is every evidence that Nor.
walk is on the eve of a decided build
ing boom. This is good news.
It is understood that quite a large
number of apartment houses ore to
be constructed in this vicinity in the
early spring. More good news.
Norwalk needs more homes. It
needs more apartment houses. It will
be many years before the “saturation
point" is reached in building here-
abouts. The city is growing and will
grow even moxe rapidly it there are
suitable and attractive apartments and
houses to be had at moderate rentals.
There undoubtedly will be a num-
ber of new business concerns looking
the city over soon with the View of
locating here. We already have on-
viable transportation facilities—main
line railroad traffic and boat service to
New York city. These are important.
but of even more importance in the
eyes of
here would be adequate and satisfac-
tory housing {or pmployes.

The Real You..
Some of us have our music in our
souls instead of in our voices. says
David Gibson. dean of business ff“-
crs. So, in the last analysis, we ‘reall
great singers. All we lack is. the
power of otpression—a certain me-
chanical arrangement of flesh 'in the
throat.
The real you is revealed in what
you like and appreciate. rather than
what you can do.
We're all singers. we're all dancers.
we're all artists.
Maybe we cannot paint. a pitfi. ire.
But our souls have the artistic sonic
-——the desire to point. also apprecia-
tion of art when we view‘it nt_the
museum. Flattering to the vanity.
but true.
s e s
All of us are inwardly clever. artis-
tic, shrewd. wise and good. But only
I. few of us can exprem what we feel.
The rest "can't get it out." It's like
a cork in a bottle.
You are reminded of this when a
friend, with a voice like filing a saw.
tries to convey to you a melody he
has heard and which he is carrying '
in his soul. He has ”the message. all
right, but he can't get it, across.
Wisdom resides in every soul. iso-
called knowledge and education more-
ly are spades with which we nneoVer
our hidden wisdom Theuncovering.
we call "developing." 'But. the real
power is there all the time. latent.
dormant. otherwise there wouldn't be
anything to develop. . “ A
, e e e .
We all have evil streaks in. our
make-up. The people we call good
are the ones with the ability to keep
their evil natures suppressed—locked
up. Others haven't yet found tho‘i‘oy.
so the evil runs at large.
Good lies buried. dormant. in our
make-up, same as evil.
' It also has to be uncovered. (droi-
oped). A more difficult Job. in some
cases than others. 1
Often it takes a heavy blow—sor-
row or misfortune—to bring out our
better selves. our nner emotions. And
sometimes the same sorrow or mis-
fortune sets loose thegevil nature in
stead of the good. The .qualities.
good or had. were there all the "time
waiting to be brought forth. " ..
Theoretically you may dhsgrse with
some of this reasoning. But you can?
not disagree with the great m—kaé
ing in the background. That. t’rutl- is
this: In the make-up of'noarly'ewiry
human there Its buried ‘ maidens
phwen and marvelous utilities. To
bring these out is the problem of ‘im.

ill with a nervous breakdown. I have
come to the famous auto-suggestion
clinics held by Monsieur Emile Conn
and have been taught that—every

Monsieur Cone presently will be
holding clinics in the United States. so
I became a patient at his clinic in
Nancy in order that I could give fei-
low-Americans back home an intimate
ulntroduction to his methods.
Clinics always suggest hospitals.

The only hit of formality I observed
was that we all rose as a token of
respect and greeting to the little man.

gray hair. mustache and board. His

and with physical mental and moral

. Years age he was a pharmacist.
Then he evolved his theories of how
to help us heal ourselves of’ many ills. '
He retired from his pharmacy and has
been. freely spending himself on the
new rok ever since.
Here in Nancy—~except when, tra-
veling—on Mondays and. Fridays he
has open house for all comers. natives
and foreigners.
On gloss days he has two clinics in
the morning and two in the afternoon.
So that for six solid hours he is on his
feet, talking, demonstrating. inculcat-
ing his principles, and preaching a
doctrine of hope.
' There Is No Fo'rmaflty

formality of a new religion, nor of the w

_Coue rolls his own! .
Frequently. while he is explaining
his theory. or while he is speaking to
various patients. he gets out his paper
and tobacco. rolls a cigaret and con,-
tentedly puffs away at it. And with
true French thrift. he smokes it clear
down to the butt.
0n the other days~of the week. ex-

THE HUMORISTS
BY MN my
They have no awe of anything.
r barbs satihical they fling
At eke and solemn-faced pretense;
And with a blithe irreverence.
And laughing antics of a clown.
They topple pompous idols down.
An ugly evil rears its head.
A thing of mysteryand dread:
The humorists make jests about it,
With jape and gibe and quip they flout it,
And presently away it wriggles.
Pursued by universal giggles.
The dragons. menacing and foul,
That most majestically prowl
About our land; whose fiery breath
Scares serious-minded folks to death.
Sneak to their caves. devoid of vigor.
When humorists begin to snigger. I
How shall we estimate their worth
Who smash chimeras with their mirth;
Who vanish ills to which we truckle.
With no more weapon than a. chuckle?
Heré' s to them. may. they never wane.
They make us laugh—and keep us sane!
