HOCKEY, king of speed games, is Canada's _national sport_. The pace of
it, the skill and thrill of it appeal to the youth of Canada. No other
boys in the world could ever play hockey quite as Canadian youngsters
do. Hockey has developed to suit a temperament which expresses itself
most completely in this game. It is the spirit of Vimy Ridge and
Festubert that crops out strongest in a fast rush down the ice with
the puck. The vigor, stamina, fearlessness and self reliant manliness
demanded by the game are _natural_, because the Canadian came first and
then hockey developed as his characteristic sport.
What Is _Your Best_?
IF one does _his best_ every day, it is soon noticeable that what was
_his best_ at one time is not now _his best_ by any means. Practice
in hard work never fails to enlarge the capacity for hard work. It is
a natural law that to be strong one must not only possess muscles but
must use them constantly.
There is an immense "shake-up" and "shake-down" going on in commerce
and industry all over the world. Today the time of trial for individual
efficiency has arrived. The bricklayer who lays more bricks than the
"average" bricklayer and the man who can raise his _level best_ a
little higher every day is the man who will weather the storm.
