...room. All unwitting he accepted. Hardly had the little group sat down before one of the young medics began mouthing pendantically about his sacra lillac joint. In his usual gallant way the Vag abond played the game. "I find that front bites better with a Dowaglac." O God, O Montreal what had he done? Laughter, like summer thunder beneath distant horizons, shook the clapboards. Sacro-illiac was a part of anatomy. From that opening salvo it was as impossible to turn the conversation into familiar channels as to stem the full tide. Those boys so normal in college days...
Between the alternatives of building more ships and scrapping all equipment on hand, the Government compromised on a static program. The R-100, which made a laborious flight from Cardington to Montreal and back last autumn, will be maintained as a sort of flying laboratory (like the U. S. Los Angeles), but it will not be reconstructed or lengthened for additional lifting power as was its sister R-101.

After a long meeting in the grey Windsor Station, Montreal, last week the C. P. R. directors filed out slowly, grave in the knowledge that they had ordered only half the regular dividend payment. What was a 10%, rate on C. P. R. is now a 5% rate. Not since 1902 has C. P. R. made so small a payment...
Since 1885 the C. P. R. has expanded by land and sea. Its assets exceed $1,371,000,000. Yet they are understated if anything. Its main Montreal-Vancouver line runs 2,893.6 miles, but the 2,044 C. P. R. locomotives pull freight and passengers over 22,438 miles of track, including the 4,379 miles of the controlled Minneapolis. St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Ry. ("Soo" Line). Much of its equipment is made in its 200 acre Angus Shops at Montreal...
