With 21 other Wiener Sängerknaben (Singing Boys of Vienna), small Wilhelm Herp, 12, was riding along in a special Pullman car between Three Rivers and Quebec one day last month, rehearsing for the next concert. Suddenly, to the dismay of Wilhelm Herp & friends but as it must to most young males, adolescence came to Wilhelm Herp. In the midst of a note his clear young alto voice sharply, ludicrously "broke."

At St. John's, Que., the Chamber of Commerce unanimously demanded that the U. S. give Canada all of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine north of the 45° parallel in exchange...
Better Bankers. Three years ago the first signs of weakness in Wall Street sent members of the Investment Bankers Association scurrying home from the convention at Quebec. They arrived in time for the first big stockmarket break, the anniversary of which came last week (16,410,000 shares, ticker two and one-half hours late, Telephone at 204 -28, Allied Chemical at 204 -14.
