It will be recalled by many that last
year when Battery C, 192d Artillery.
went to camp, their mess fund was de-
pleted and consequently the boys were
unable to enjoy the many little luxu-
ries that go to take some of the
monotony out of camp life. This year
the members of the Battery have
planned u. huge entertainment to last
a. week, the proceeds of which will go
towards making up their mess fund:
to providing gysnastic paraphenallq
and also towards outfitting their
rooms at the state armory.
Recently it was announced in The
Evening Sentinel that an oriental
bazaar and fashion exposition was '-0
be staged at the Norwnlk Armory 1n
the near future. and that there would
be many features that had never
before been: seen in Nor-walk.
At the meeting of the Kiwanis club
held last Thursday afternoon at the
Royal James. Captain Anson chlnr.
commanding Battery C. made an an-
nouncement to the Kiwanis concern-
ing the coming affair and its purpose.
but this message reached only the
Kiwanis members. while. the object. of
the bazaar and exposition is one that

it is pointed Dill? that exery intensi-
fication of the allied action results in
the reinforcement of the German re-
sistance. and doubt is frequently ex-
pressed in some of the more aggressixe
quarters as to whether the pressure
necessary to oblige Germany to ac-
cept the system of productive guaran-
tees can be applied unless the allies
resort to‘llie dcclaration of a state of
war.
Premier Poincare is understood to
be very sensitive as to public opinion
abroad regarding the seizure of the
Ruhr. feeling acuity the crticisms
voiced in the United States and Eng-
land following each protest of the
German Government against measures
which it declares illegal. Those who
take an aggressixe stand hold that a.
state of war which would not un-
neoessarlly mean the opening of hos-
tilitics. .would give France a freer
hand in putting an end ”to the re-
peated protests of Germany over the
alleged illegality of the French action.

Self Reliance
Yesterday noon the attendants at
the regular sesion of the Sunday
Club, meeting in the South Norwalk
Congregational Church were inspired
by a delightful address on the subject
of "Self Reliance" given by the Su-
pervisor of Music in the
schools of Norwalk, Miss
McCarthy.
*Answering the question
Self Reliance?" Miss McCarthy de-
fined it as the power to depend on
one’s self. that: which keeps us from
leaning on others. and faith in our—
selves. This faith wili open the door
so that we see the way to do that
which we desire. There is a great
power in the mere feeling that we
can do a thing. As an actual illus-
tration of this fact the spe." - va
an instance of a group of salesmen
who being diffident as to the merits
of their product, and their ability to
sell it. actually did not succeed in
selling. but when once convinced of
their ability to make successful sales.
went out and did succeed. Further-
more. the person who has no confi-
dence or self reliance in his ability
to succeed must not expect to be
helped by the efforts of others.
Self reliance should not be con—
fused with self conceit, the speaker
is the impulse
I
"What 1.!
id. for the former ‘
. which promotes the solution to large
problems, and assumes large respon-
sibilities. while self conceit
with empty pride and
is filled
considers n6
. problem except that which concerns
self or which will rebound to our
own advantage. The highest type of
self reliance will lead us along the
line most worth while. as, for exam-
ple, the confidence displayed by such
men as Columbus or Lincoln who be-
lieving in their own ability to so-
compllsh were lead in the way of
n-ost value to succeeding generations.
Thus self reliance is valuable not only
_ to ourselves, but to others.
Speaking of the sources of rzwer
and ability, Miss McCarthy -nggested
that the force Which accomplishes
lungs is from within the mind. quot?
ing Disraeli who said "Man is not x
creature of circumstance. but circum-
stance a. creation of man." Thewdoc-
tor orrlawyer whom you want to ad-
vise you is that man who is certain
of what he does, who does not think
he is right in his advice. but is cer-
tain that he has the proper analysis .-
of1 the case. The merchant places all
his show window the merchandise
which he'haa to offer, and the public
has this way of observing what man—
ner of merchandise it is. The lndlo‘
vidnal has something to otter to 0th;
ers. and his self reliance "is the way in
which he shows ,the quality and
amount of what he has. Emerson's"
essay on “Self Reliance" was quota}
andlauded .as being of great value
not omitr as a. literary achievement.
but as inspiration to self confidence.
Bringing the di on down to
concrete. local pro ears? the speaker
. asked if school children were being. .-
