...International Column, the tough soldiers of fortune from many lands who first put the backbone of trained soldiering into the defense of Madrid (TIME, Nov. 9 et seq.}. Writes News Chronicle's Cox: "General Kleber is by birth an Austrian. His family took him to Toronto when he was still a child, and he became a naturalized British citizen, which he remains to this day. He fought in the Great War. In 1919 he went to Siberia with the Canadian Army of Intervention, to serve against the Bolsheviks...
...hockey addicts, because it gives them more chance to gratify their addiction. Last week, while the Red Wings were playing the Canadiens, two other series of Stanley Cup playoff games were going on elsewhere. In one, the New York Rangers, who finished third in the American division, beat the Toronto Maple Leafs, who finished third in the International division, twice in succession. This gave them the right to meet the Montreal Maroons, winner against the Boston Bruins in a two-out-of-three series between second-place teams. Next week, the winner of the Rangers v. Maroons series plays...
...Meantime Toronto, with a native itch for the long shot and a grandstand view of Ontario's vast mineral resources, captured Canada's relatively young mining industry.

From the golden days of the fur trade to the building of the railroads, from the peopling of the prairies to the rise of lumber and newsprint, the wealth of Canada tended to flow through Montreal. Some of that wealth always came to rest in the snug little mansions at the foot of Mount...
...soared from $191,000,000 to a new high of $360,000,000, nearly one-third in gold alone. The total of dividend payments by Dominion mines more than tripled. Mining now ranks ahead of lumber and newsprint as the most important Dominion industry outside of agriculture. And the Toronto Stock Exchange, now merged with its old mining rival, not only outstrips the Montreal market in dollar-volume of trading but also exceeds every exchange in North America except New York's "Big Board" and the Curb Exchange. In number of shares traded it even tops the Curb...
