- f HERE COMES HELP
, Don't "kid" the youngsters who
graduating this year from high
school or college, start out intd the
world with sure confidence that they
are going to take charge of things
and savo the situation on short no
tice.
All of us have to go through that
period of youthful enthusiasm. And
it's a good thing. Looking back, the
older generation realizes that their
exuberant start gave jtheni momen
tum without which they might have
weakened and fallen by the wayside
Go ahead, you graduates! You're
the hope of the world. And the en-!
thused, confident newcomer in the
battle of life can take wallops that
would make an old timer go down
for the count.
Maybe, after all, the 1923 grad
uates are right in their, conviction
that they are going to save the
world.
The world certainly can stand
lot of saving.
And the re-enforcement pourln
from the schools this year is badly
needed. The "regulars" are in mud
to their hecks and waverlne.
Looking the world over, most of
us realize that the present genera
tion has made pretty, much a failure
of things. We'ye almost destroyed a
civilization built up painfully and
laboriously through thousands : of
years. The rising generation will
not have to do much or a job to beat
our pitiful record. All set, youhg-
on, ;uuiig
sters! Bets on you! Over the too!
I Most of you Graduates hav n rrv
. . cc 1 y ant 10
accompnsn in lire. Try to keep your
ideals strong, your courage high.
your hearts young.
You'll have temporary setbacks
many of them. They are sent to de
velop your . character -'and brain,
much like muscles in a gymnasium.
Hew to the line. Keep headed for
your goal. Don't let any circum
stance or any person discourage you
from your original purpose.
Above all, ignore the cynics. All
of them are failures of one degree or
another. That's what made them into
failures cynicism, the curdled phil
osophy of a life that really is well
worth living if we are worthy of liv
ing. Guard your motives. . The .world
never has enough of ideals. At the
end of the battle you know that
jdeals are' fed to humanity from only
two sources -Verjj1 old age, just fin
ishing the fight and youth, the
newcomer, the ire-enforcements for
the weakening line of progress.

oil you use breaks down and runs thin just as soon as the motor gets warmed
up, every moving part is subject to extra strains, vibration and wear.
Polarine will guard against these dangers, it will keep a motor like new for
years and save a lot of preventable expenses that you will surely face if you
get the bad habit of asking for a "quart of oil" instead of a "quart
