YOUNG MEN IN A HURRY. “The fortunes of old fell often tr those who, content to begin life on tiie lowest rung of the ladder, climbed steadily to the top,” writes Sii AI.UK Pemberton in the “Evening News” of London. This slow-motion are has charms for few to-day. Young men come t’o me and say, ‘l’m with So-and-So’s, and I can. stop there it | like. 1 get two-hiindrecl-and-iftv a year, and if I wait I shall get more; but .1. can’t stick that, ol •nurse. What I want'is something which will bring me at least live hundred a year now. Do you think you could get me a job like thatr 1 The answer, 1 am afraid, is invariably in the negative. The ‘non-stop’ youth is the curse of the city and the author of much of its discontent. Men work complainingly for one firm while planning how to get employment from another.
