II is well for young people to choose
the life work which accords with their
tastes and qualifications. but never
make the mistake Of suppOsing that
any work will be altogether pleasant.

sacrifice. You will never do anything
Of consequence without doing some
thing you do not like.--Grit.

New York. March 20.-Motor shares
and their accessories were the sensational
features Of today's short but lively stock
market session.
General Motors on enormous dealings
rose one TO three points between sales TO
3S7Is an extreme gain of almost as points,
and Stutz added almost l ! points to its
recent remarkable advance at the new
maximum Of 217s4.
Oils which usually keep pace with any
spectacular movement of motors, were
inclined to react. as were also most of the
representative steels, equipments and rails.
Pronounced strength was shown by some
OF the coppers and shippings. Profit
taking provoked moderate reactions from
highest quotations in the national dealings
although General Motors continued to
soar The closing was irregular. Sales
approximated 100000 shares.

The sharps around Lake Eric already

From the reports filtering through from

by many other critics, who claim that the
