Red .Cross Marks Scene of Crime Visitors in western uptown Montreal often ask questions re- garding a big wood cross painted red visible over the fence of the Mother House of the Order of the Grey Nuns. Traffic officials of the Canadian National Railways carried a query to Dr. W. II. Ath- erten, authority on historic Mon- treal, and he recounted a story in explanation. In the time of the French regime when Montreal was beginning to extend beyond the fortified walls, "le Chemin du Roi" (The King's Road) strag- gled along the edge of the mid- town terrace about the Present line of Dorchester Street. At the point where Guy street now in- tersects, stood e farm house and the farmer was credited with pos- sessing a store of gold. A bandit • attempted to rob the farmer and when the latter resisted, killed the farmer, his wife and a daugh- ter. Captured, French justice de- creed that he should be hanged and quartered, the body to swing on the gibbet erected at the scene of the crime. Afterwards a cross was placed at the spot,l Years later when the first roads were straightened, the cross was in the centro of the thoroughfare, and on request of the municipal auth- orities the Grey Nuns agreed to maintain in perpetuity a cross to mark this page in the record of the former French colony. New Train Speed Rules in Effect Regulations griverniug speed of trains passing railway grade cros- sings and draw -bridges were made public last month in a general order of the Dominion Board of Transport Commissioners. The board orders that all trains must not exceed 35 utiles an hour until the entire train has passed the crossing unless otherwise permit- ted by board order. For drawbridges passenger train speeds must not exceed 25 miles an hour and other trains must not exceed 15 miles an hour until they have crossed the draw- bridge. The order applies to all Can- adian railways under jurisdiction of the board. Army divisions, in these days of mechanisation, require about 3,000 vehicles, including guns, tractors, tanks and lorries. King Peter's Little Brothers Are In England How Can I? BY ANNE ASHLEY Q.

The romance of the gold rush period led to the present development which has proven the Deal value of what had been considered a pr'ofi'tless folly but which turned out to be oite of Nature's rich .treasure houses. It is not necessary to undertake a lengthy course in the -historic before going to Alaska;, once the traveller 'has entered the awe in- spiring fjords leading to the ports of Alaska, the. very majesty of the country appeals to him and soon he will be eager to learn all that is possible of the territory and, neighboring Yukon across the Canadian border. It's An Accessible Place Alaska has a distant sound, but it is a most accessible place. Rail- way connections to Vancouver are numerous and comfortable. At Vancouver, principal city and chief port of: British Columbia, handsome craft of the Canadian National Railways, operate cruis- es to Skagway and return, From Vancouver and "back again re- quires nine days duringwhich the traveller is at ltome in a comfort- able ship with all the pleasures of an ocean voyage yet sheltered by islands which forst barrier to the winds of. the Pacific. This is known as the `Inside Passage," a deep water way presenting con- tinuously impressive views. Midnight , Sian For 1941, eleven such cruises have been arranged, the first by the SS "Prince Rupert," leaving Vancouver, on June 16. The early season voyages give pas- sengers an opportunity of seeing the "Midnight Sun" because at this period Northern days are at their longest.

Tell Sex Of Chick by Sight Until recently the method of distinguishing male and female chicks of pure bred Barred Ply- mouth Rocks by sight has been' moreor less of a haphazard na- ture, but now an accurate 'system v evol ed and is used has been widely by comthercial chicle ex- perts. "Sex sighting," as it is called, has been reduced to a sci- ence. The sexes in a flock of chicks are picked out correctly by. the pattern of the white head- spot, leg colour, and the shade of black colour in the down. TO •the beginner it seems an impossible task, but the Poultry Divt'sion, Dominion Experinnental Farms Service, has simplified matters by describing/and illustrating all the intricacies` of the problem in a bulletin, which may be obtained free by writing to the Publicity and Extension .Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ot- tawa. Other Skyscrapers While New York has the tallest buildings in the world, that city has no monopoly of skyscrapers. The Terminal Tower building in Cleveland has 52 stories and towers to a height of 708 feet, 'which is only a hundred feet less than the famous Chrysler bWWWId- ing in New York. Columbus has the American ,Insurance Union, which rises to 555 feet, or 43 feet higher than the spire of Colcgne Cathedral. This has 48 floors. The Penobscot Building in De- troit is of 47 floors, and its sum- mit is 665 feet above street level. The City Hall, in Philadelphia Inas a height of 535 feet, The reasons why giant build- ings are so popular in New York are two: first, the confined space on Manhattan Island; secondly, the fact that the foundations can be laid in solid rock. Women worker's in German factories must not be •employed for handling goods weighing more than 33 lbs. each.
