Mal level above grade. '
'The construction company has been
fortunate, as practically inexhaustible
supplies 'of' gravel were found at var-
ious places along 'the line, otherwise
the tremendous amount of filling-in
would have constituted a' real problem.
One gravel pit lies within a Mule or
two of the terminus and until the wea-
ther got too cold gravel was being
hauled continuously to the terminal
yard, where a modern gravel spreader
swept it into position as soon as -amp -
ed from the cars.
GRAVEL PITS OPENED. ,
So it was along the line. Gravel
pits were opened up at a number of
strategic points, none of them- far
from the main line; and the present'
road, instead of being an earth or clay
dump with a gravel spread, is pure
ballast from the ground up, a line
thatwill stand with a minimum am-
ount of work and expenditure for
maintenance for many years. And
while it is now about two decades since
the first steps were taken toward the
Hudson Bay line, it has been con-
structed better than many a line of
the earlier construction days.
It really was in 1909 that the Hud-
son Bay line first assumed definite
shape and it was then that a branch
line from Hudson Bay Junction to The
Pas was completed, linking up the
northern frontier post with the rest
of Canada. Work commenced the fol-
lowing year on the Hudson Bay line,
With Churchill as the ultimate objec-
tive. The obective was, however,
changed to Fort Nelson and steel was
laid before the end of 1916 to Kettle
rapids, 332 miles lion The Pa. Then
came delay. No work was done for -
years. The roadbed deteriorated and
there was talk of pulling up the rails
for use elsewhtiie. Winnipeg fought
this and Charles Gray„ ex -Mayor of
Winnipeg, withathers'formed the "On
to the Bay Association."
In December, 1927, Churchill was
again recommended as the better port
and, early- in 1928 everything was in
readiness for steel to be laid again.
The work was pushed with such vigor
that on Maych 29 of this year steel
reached mile 611, which marked the
commencement of the terminal yards
at Churchill, and the 'railway was an
accomplished fact. •

note to history,
"The original subject tf a medal or

The Only Nay
Bernard Shaw Says Only Way
to Avoid War is to
Stop Fighting
•
London.—George Bernard Shaw's
formula for preventing war is: "Stop
fighting,'' that is the only way.
Such was the 'answer Shaw gave
when asked as to, the best way to pre-
vent war. The Irish author replied to
questions on the forthcoming disarm-
ament conference, the Kellogg Pact,
the Nobel Prize, Anglo-American rela-
tions and how Lady Astor could influ-
ence them, in the course of an inter-
view with the United Pres's Corres-
pondent.
Shaw also offered his opinion of the
Hoover doctrine..
'What do you thirk of. President
Hoover's armistice day suggestion that
food ships should be treated as hospi-
tal ships during wars?" he was asked.
"President Hoover: seems to forget
how hospital ships were treated during
the late war. They 'will be treated
similarly during the next one," he re-
plied.
Can you see any prospects of any
useful agreement being reached at the
forthcoming five -power naval clisarm-
-grnent conference, was another ques-
tion 'patio the satirist, who said:
'"If they scrap their battleships,,—hi
the effectiveness 'of which they no
longer- believe—it will save Money amid
.money is always useful.
PERSEVERANCE
.Courage actility and earnest per-
severance are indeed the secret of all
success. No good endeavor stu'enu-
ously persisted in will fail; it must
succeed: at last. Powers of even the

employed, will effect much.

"diteen Victoria took a very lively
interest in it, but nothing was done
until Lord Panmure,' later eleventh
Earl of Dalhousie, became Secretary
of State. Then her Majesty at Buck=
Ingham Palace on July 29, 1886, sign-
ed the Rcyal Warrant instituting the
decoration, with the title 'the Victoria
Cross.'
"As time went on it was- apparent
that to confine this decoration to mem-
bers of the Navy and Army constitut-
ed hardship to .others who might be
temporarily acting with the Forces
of the Crown,
"Accordingly, in 1847, the decora-
tion was extended to members of the
forces of the Honorable East India
Company.,
"Next year a warrant admitted acts
under circumstances of extreme dan-
ger by members of the Navy and the
Army not in the presence of the
enemy. Under this head,. in 1867, the
cross was „granted' to Pte. Timothy
O'Hea, 1st Bu. Rifle Brigade, who, at
a railway station be tween Quebec
and Montreal, extinguished a fire in
a railway car containing ammmni-
tion.
"In 1348, also, it was decided to ex-
tend the decoration to non-military
persons acting as volunteers against
the mutineers at Lucknow and else-
where.
"Another extension came in 1881—
the admission of members of the In-
dian Ecclesiastical Establishments.
The Rev. J. A. Adams won the cross
at Kabul Native officers and men
of the Indian Arany were included in
1911.
OThe original cross struck for sub-
mission to and approved of by Queen
Victoria on its institution is 1836 is
now in the museum of the Royal Uni-
ted Service 'Institution Whitehall.
"The bronze for the cross came
originally from a ' Russian gun
and on that scarce being exhausted,
was taken from a Chinese gun, prob-
ably owing to :the nature of the metal.
"Only two bars or clasps have been
won, the recipients being A. Martin -
Leake, Lieut., R.A.M.C., who as Sur-
geon -Captain in the Indian Volunteers
won the cross when serving with the
South African Coristabulavy and N. 'G.
Chavasse Captain, R.A.M.C., attached
to 1/10 Liverpool Regiment, who won
the cross at Guillemot on August 9,
1916, and a bar at Wieltje on Jul'
31 -August 2, 1017, where he was 11111 -

"The cross has. been conferred three
times upon father and eon, ''including
Lord Roberts and his son; and upon
two pairs of brothers. The Victoria
Crosses granted before the Great War
numbered 681 and two bars; and
those granted -since the Great War

shake of tomato ketchup. 'Do not

a -little vinegar,. Drainthe fish well,
then put a generous portion into each
sandwich, This filling is particularly
good with brown. bread.
The commonplace forcemeat can
be used as a basis for a very tasty
filling.: Take the young, crisp - hearts
of celery heads, see that they are
very, clean, then chop them finely and
mix with the forcemeat. ' If you ' can
manage to make the sandwiches only
a short while before they will be eat-
en, pour a little' melted butter on to
the filling, and then wait for envious.
mothers to ask you the secret of this
delicious concoction.

A MAN
"ii man that's clean inside and out-
side, who neither looks up to the rich
nor down to the poor, who can lose
without squealing and can win 'with-
out bragging; who is considerate to
women, children and old persons,
who is too brave to lie, too generous
to cheat and too sensible_ to loaf; and,
who takes his share of the world's
goode and lets other people have
theirs—that is my idea of a- true gen-
tleman."
