The sixty years that have passed since the Canadian Pacific ]rail-
way Company .was given a charter to build the transcontinental line,
on February 15, 1881, have been featured by outstanding advances in
'every branch of railroading. In no way, however are these advance-
lnents more obvious than in locomotives, Gone are ,the funnel smoke-
stacks anti the toy -like appearance of .the old wood -burners. The sleek,
powerful locomotives of ,today have speeded up schedules, they pull
longer trains, and they can travel many miles without shop attention.
The most famous is the "Countess of Dufferin', first loco-
motive to reach Winnipeg. It was taken there en a barge in.1877 and
now stands in a Winnipeg park as a moument to the early days. It was
built in 1872, weighed 64,500 .pounds and was 51 feet six inches long.
Locomotive No. 34, seen above at Feenie, B.C., dates back to 1882. Its
weight was 98,000 pounds and it had a tractive effort of 14,000 pounds.
These are puny engines compared to the giants of today, the new 2800
series which weigh 366,000 ponds and have a tractive effort of 46,200
pounds and the new 5900 series, largest in the British Empire, which
weigh 447,000 pounds and have a tractive effort of 78,000 pounds.
At the end of 1882 the company had 146 locomotives; now it owns
1,767. --C.P.R., Photo.
This Early Sleeping Car Doesn't Look Very Comfortable
iVioderns who mourn so loudly for the "good 'old days" never rode
from Montreal to Vancouver in the early sleeping car, illustrated above.
Once the jewel of perfection and delight, it certainly. looted antiquated
according to modern standard,, when compared to the newer model with
electric lighting, air conditioning.. padded •seats, partitions between the
berths for which the railroad supplies the bedding and improved in
every way.---C.P.F,. Photo.
- HAVE
YOU HEARD?
A newspaper reporter was in-
vited to take his first aeroplane
trip with a stunt flier for .the
movies. He was filled with for-
bodings, which increased when ,a
parachute was strapped onto
him and he was given careful
instructions regarding its use
The stunt man also wore `a para«
chute, and when he put a heavy '
leather coat on over ,it the re-
porter asked timidly, "How • can
you use the parachute with that
Coat oIt?"
"Oh," replied the pilot, non-
chalantly, "I'd have plenty of
time to take the coat off 'when •
we fell."
They went up and flew for
several minutes, until, feeling
warm, the stunt man began to
remove his coat.
"Hot, isn't it?" he sai, genially, '
but there was no reply. Thb 're-
porter had jumped overboard.

tinent, it's a wise, child who

The irate parent stormed up
and down the ,room before the
nervous looking young. man,
"What i" he shouted.,`" ou have
the nerve to come to my , office -
to ask for my daughter's hand? ,
I aright as well tell you that you
could have saved yourself the
journey." ..
The salter sighed wearily.
"Well, that's all right," he 81,
"You sue, I had another message
tq deliver in the sates buildings."

HEALTH
TOPICS
Tender Teeth
conlpanied by dental aching. A
toe high filling, large metal fill-
ings injury, small tooth -bristles,
fish bones or other objeets lodged
between the teeth, grinding of
the teeth at night and the time -
national abrasions of cobblers,
seamstresses, and players of wind
instruments -- all these may re -
suit in tenderness.
For the safety of the subject,
dead teeth should, as a rule, be
extracted,
a
Teeth may be tender from
cold, in which cases all the teeth
are likely to be affected,
In pregnancy and lactation the
teeth often become tender and
affected with caries. The cause
is the drain on calcium by the
growing infant within the mo-
ther's womb. The remedy is the
administration of vitamin D,
found plentifully in butter fat
and cod-liver oil.
• A certain number of teeth that
have ached a little, settle down,
take on a bluish colour and may
be somewhat tender. These teeth
.are dead and are a menace to
health,' Their roots will often
prove to be stinking. They spread
infection to near and distant
parts of the body causing ery-
theme, arthritis and other infer-
tions.
Must Extract Dead Teeth
Cancer of the antrum or sar-
coma of the bony margin of the
jaw sometimes follows 'neglect
of dead teeth:
Other resulting infections from.
dead teeth are: osteomyelitis and
necrosis of the jaws, cellulitis of
the neck and neuralgia of the
third nerve. 1vIany medical condi-
tions of the body will cause ten-
derness of the teeth, such for ex-
ample, as scurvy, anaemia and
lukaelnia. Syphilis, malaria, dia-
betes and tuberculosis have an ill -
effect on the teeth. Hysteria, mi-
graine and many other neuroses
are often accentuated by tender
teeth. Many acute illnesses and

Mere Male Plays
Part of Stewardess
Passengers on a Trans -Canada
Air Lines flight out of Toronto
recently were surprised to find
a male steward serving their
meal and supplying their require-
ments while aloft, It was an in-
voluntary innovation as far as
T.C.A. was concerned, Icy roads
following a storm delayed the ecu
carrying the stewardess to Marton
Airport. Departure of the plane
could not be held up and the air-
port passenger agent. took her
place.
Air line stewards are not un-
common. The British Overseas
Airways Corporation and the Pan
American employ thein, as well as i
one or two domestic United States

The gasoline used was the or-

White rats were used in this ex •

Company celebrated the diamond

public serviee during which time
it developed into the world's
greatest privately owned trans-
portation system, a closely knit
organization with transportation
and communication services or
affiliations throughout the world.
Has Steamships, Hotels, Too
The Canadian Pacific Railway
now has 17,169 miles of line, 55
ocean, coastal and lake steam-
ships, a cross-country chain of
betels and summer camps and
lodges, 1,767 locomotives and 82,-
714 pieces of rolling stock and
stations, shops and other proper-
ty and equipment representing
an investment of more than one
billion dolars. For 60 years the
Dominion of Canada and the
Canadian Pacific Railway have
aided and shared in each other's
development. In this period the
population of Canada increased
from 4,324,810 to an estimated
11,315,000 while the total of the
export and import trade increas-
ed from $174,433,030 to $2,-
260,904,000 in 1939, the last year
of record.
On February 15, 1881, the Do-
minion. Government, worn out by
the hopelessness of its own ef-
forts to build a transcontinental
railway and fearful that Confed-
eration would crash unless lines
of communication were opened be
the Pacific Ocean, passed an act
granting a charter which empow-
ered a private syndicate to build
the Iine within two years. Two
days later the Canadian Railway
Company was duly organized with
George Stephen, later Lord Mount
Stephen, president, Duncan Mc-
Intyre, as vice-president and R.
B. Angus and 3. 3. Hill on the ex-
ecutive committee.
Line Completed in 1885
The need for a trans -continent-
al railway had become obvious at
the time of Confederation in
1867 and British Columbia en-
tered Confederation in 1872 on
the promise that rail connection
would be established. This was
easier said than done, however.
In ten years of governmental ef-
fort only 713 miles of line had
been built or was under construc-
tion and it covered only the eas-
ier sections because plans had
been too indefinite for anything
really worthwhile to be accom-
plished. The scattered bits of
line which had been completed
were laid down with a view to us-
