Some things man has not figured
out: How the birds know when and
where to migrate, how they manage
70 get back to the same place each
year after flight Of thousands OF
miles, and how the boys know to q
day when the marble season and the
ban season and the top season be-
gins. The only explanation that
has ever been offered Is that they
are all guided by instinct.

THE GRADUATE-AN
OPPORTUNITY

From high schools and colleges
throughout our nation thousands OF
voung Americans are striding forth
as this is written, in eager search
of opportunity to prove tnelr
powers.
What words of encouragement are
offered them?
That depends on whose messages
they hear.
At many commencement exercises
real words of inspiration have been
spoken. But from other platforms
from the lips of the new economic
and political sooth-savers, contin-
ues to sound that philosophy OF de-
spair adopted in recent years from
the fears and the pessimism OF
Europe. 49,. ~.
It seeks to convince young Am
erica that the era of opportunity is
ended; that pride in ones own
strength and courage and self-reli-
ance is not only futile, but old-fash-
Toned; that youth must learn to de-
pend on government and the politi-
clans to guide its life and supply its
wants. ...2 Fl
It is an n-American doctrine.
The career of Abraham Lincoln,
who rose from the log cabin to the
pinnacle Of craftsmanship, has prov
ed its falsity. So have the lives OF
the Wright brothers, who began as
bicycle repair men and gave us the
airplane; Of Edison, the train boy.
who made electricity perform new
miracles; Of Henry Ford, one-time
obscure mechanic Of countless
American leaders in our public and
professional and commercial life
today.
Such men would have turned deaf
ears to that swan-song Of Ameri-
canism which new swells from so
large q group Of our politicians.
They listened instead to "the Eagles
Song: to be staunch and valiant,
and free, and strong"
Despite the newer pessimists, AM
erica continues to offer careers to
all who hear the message.

(Bremerton Searchlight)
 Wholesale unemployment in the shipping industry along the Pacific Coast is threatened result of ders issued by transportation companies to oper ations of than eighty ships which formerly had been in freight service between coastal cities Although no announcement has been made such, is is well understood that the "te-up is the result of labor be which for several years has made regular freight schedules almost impossible of accomplishment Oper- ators declare they unable to the boats because of prohibtve operating costs and the latest in the general abandonment of coastal freight service is the decision of Pacific Coast Steamship Company officials take Is of its vessels off regular This company'S withdrawal means the loss of jobs to a thousand saiormen and shoresde workers.
 Tn direct contrast to the stifling of heretofore portant coaswise freight service is the action of the Alaska Steamship Company in addition to it's fleet of combination passenger and cargo vessels plying be- tween Seattle and points in the North. Two fine big ships will be added to this fleet and the first sailing of the augmented service scheduled for early in April Not only the port of Seattle but the entire Pacific North west will benefit from this much needed improvement in Alaska transportation facilities rapidly grow ing country, demanding more and in goods building materials and miscellaneous supplies will now have better opportunity to be served well excellent chance to have its products shipped out Alaska is still boundless territory with unlimited possibilities It be developed only in proportion the development of its transportation service.
