Miss Richards Lectures
calls UNION PEACE FA CTOR
Cites Perils of Nation

By request OF her audience, Miss
Janet Richards devoted the greater
part of her talk at woodward & Lo-
throp's last Monday morning to the
rest OF the story of the interesting and
more or less exciting experiences OF
herself and party during their journey
from Paris to London, when making
their escape" last summer from the
so-called war zone.
Having at a previous talk given an
account of their somewhat dimcult
flight from Rome to Paris via Geneva.
Miss Richards resumed the journey at
the Care de Lyons in Paris and told
of their dificulties in getting through
both the 'douane" (customs) and the
barriers"
She said: I'VE found the big sta

had learned that the domaine was closed

from somewhere out of the nowhere ana
made him find all our trunks and after
escorting us safely to our hotel across
the Place had agreed to return the
next day and help us through the dim
cult task Of having our passports vised
for England, getting our police permits
and forwarding our luggage to London.
How We should ever have got
through without that helpful young
Britain, We could not imagine! He SEEM
ed a veritable Providence raised up TO
us in the hour of need, as he knew the
ropes thoroughly and saved our standing

and be under the influence of con-
slant regret.
If you are on good terms with
yourself, you are keeping the worst
kind of bad company, the kind that
you cannot get rid of, the kind that
IS going to annoy you.
Instead of worrying about the
shortcomings of others, go into ex-
ecutive session with yourself, call
yourself to order, and discuss your
self by yourself. Forget others for
the moment. Consider that the whole
world revolves inside of you, and
that you are responsible, first TO
yourself, secondly to others. Re-
member that you are in solescom-
mand Of yourself; and that you can,
even if you are handicapped, make
yourself feel and do as you demand.
You cannot have everything, nor
can anybody. Many a man you envy
IS worse of than you are. Things
are not always as they seem to be.
Don't continuously worry about
your environment or conditions. Say
to yourself, Il am the commander of
myself. II is for me, not for others,
to say what I shall do and how l
shall feel"
Be proud of yourself, if you are
worthy. If you. are not. become
worthy. Realize that. although you
are but one among billions, you
would not have been placed in this
world II there were not room for
you and responsibilities for you to
assume. There is nothing unimpor-
tant. A single grain of sand has its
responsibility. II it does not fill its
place, Il leaves hole, which no other
grain of sand can enter without af1
fecting the whole family Of sand.

situation.
That the conference would issue a ring

of a nature to convince the belligerents
that their neutral rights could no longer
be disregarded with impunity, was the
wish expressed by Miss Richards. 1t
was greeted by applause.
