Thbousands upon thousands of tbeni are groping blindly about, trying to find them- selves, feeling for tbe.rigbt way, seeking-their proper place in the scheme-o tings and searching for their place in the sun. The discouragements that face these ounig people. Must indeed be great, and they cannot'be smiled away, or disregarded, or ignored. Tbey must be taken intc acournt, ànalyzed carefüIly, considéred wisély, met bravely. jobs are at a premium, it is true, and diffi- cuIt to procure. But idleness is inexcusable, for time, can always be employed profitably in self-prepara- tion for the brighter day when today's clouds will lift and there wiIl be ample demand.for tbe services of the efficient and ambitious. A fact that every young man and woman should. ponder is that "there is no royal road to success." Every path leading to that desirable goal has beFî rough and unpaved, and-still is. But the pat hs are' fihne and great as any that havýe let their impress, upon the woilcls bistory. But they will flot be sougbt out. *They must disclose themselves andt troughi industry andI activity in the world's work make their own advancement. 4 Henry Fordwas not-"born with a silver spoon in bis mouth."

But as these men were, workers, so must tbe great men of the f u- ture be workers. If they stop to idle they wiil find drivers to contorin to it. *It is true that witb the repeal of the 45 mile linit andI the enactment of the new trafic code motorists are permitted to drive at any speed on state' bigb- ways, provided they do not exceed a rate.that is "rea- a license to "burn up tbe road" without regardto "trafifc andI use of the way," tben the privilege may be withdrawn. Section 49 (d) of the code says '~Weneeithe department (meaning the Statè r$epartment of Public Works and B3uldings) shalh determine upon1 the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation that any, pri ma faeie. speed. upon any state highway, under its jurisdiction, as hereinbefore set forth, is greater or Iless than is reasonabie and sàfe unger conditions found to exist -at any intersection or other place. or upon anY Pa rt of a highway, said department shall de- termine and- declare, a reasonable and safe prima. facie seeed' hmt thereat which shail be, effec- ,tive when appropriate signi giving notice thereof are erected at such .Intergection or other. place or part of the highway, but- i~n in instanLce shtallthe spéed, e.ceed'4$ miles per hour."1 Retention ,of 14- ù nlimnited speed provision ,ii strictly up to the motorists. If tbey use it with dis- cretion it WiI1 be retained. Otberwise tbe old limit will be reimposed. Anotber feature of the new code.to wbichparticu - lai attention should be given is' that pertaining to reckless driving. Heretofore tbe charge of reckless driving woid flot stand up in court unless an, acci- dent. were involved. Now the speed andI manner of driving, in disregard of the "traffic and -use of the' way," imay brrrrg conviction on the reckless driving charge. WELCOME TIo Rear Admirai John Downes, commandant, bhis "4old saits" and recruits at Great Lakes Naval lrraiîl- ing station, the north shore extends a hearty wel- corne. The activities wbich began Monday are a refresbing relief from the quietude that bas rtiled the great midwest training station for the past two years. In preparation for the reopening $.394,000 bas been spent ini rebabilitating the plant andI putting it into first class condition for the ttirning out. o naval recruits that wili bc a credit to tbe service. Forty regular naval iifficers andI a permanent sbip's company of 180 men, together witb civilian mechanics, have: been engaged in the work. Approximately 100 recruits were received at the station, Monday. About 300 will arrive montbly,-until tb.e full quota of 1000 is enrolled. For this rejuvenation of a plant that should neyer bave been permitted to sink into disuse andI dis- repair, much credit is due to Ralpti E. Churcb, the nortb shore's representative in congress. He bas spared no effort to bring about the naval station's reopening andI the- resuits are very gratifying to his constituents. grettable accident might occur.
