Labor rates in the building trades have never since the war become liquidated to the same extent as the prices of building ma.teria.1s, and un- til they do, there does not seem to be any justiable argmnent for in- creases in the scale. Materials prices 7'are to-day mly 53 per cent. above 1913 values, while the percentage in the case of labor wages is 71. What argtunemt, therefore, is there from an economic point of View for an increase this spring` unless labor is taking advantage of the absence 01 apprentices and the lack of immi- gration and zhe consequent growing scarcity of mechanics?

To see them one needed the cliimib- int: spirit, the right attitude toward the things of life. Opportunities were frequently mistaken for calam- ities, when all that was needed was perspective in order to .see them aright. Of-ten .one s greatest oppor- tunity was one's limited environ-, ment, stated the speaker, giving ex- emples of bootblaaks and other lowly- personages that had risen to Lame. There was in an opportunity just what an individual saw in it. Many people missed: splendid chances in life because they were still regretting some other that had just gone by. and others were continually passing by opportunities in the form of small duties.
