work of tying up the railroads.

Retail Meat Prices Lead in

Sir -Ernest Shackleton has had many
amusing experiences on his various
lecturing tours. There is a story of
a visit to the North, and of his peep
through the curtain to see how the
hall was filling. His chairman, too,
peeped over his shoulder and gasped
with wonder, "I think you are going
to have as. big an audience :as we had
for the handbell ringers last night,"
he said. On another occasion he was
explaining to a frigid after the lecture

Mr. Churchill's announcement that
8,000,00 war medals and 0,500,000
'4 ie€pry medals will be issued fore-
shadows a busy time for the Mint and
a vast consumption of silver. It may
he assumed that the medals will be
of silver and not of new coinage alloy.
When the seamen of Nelson's fleet
after Trafalgar were presented with
pewter medals they indignantly threw
there overboard:
* * * *
For a hundred years the British
Service medal has been of silver, and
has been bestowed on all ranks alike.
The Army owes that to the Duke of
Wellington who, after Waterloo, wrote
home suggesting that such a. medal
should be issued, Before then Pen-
insular medals had been granted to -
the higher ranks of officers only and
were of gold.

Florists are ever seeking to induce
flowers to change their natural color
and especially to persuade them -to
look blue when their habit is never to

present a real triumph of human skill
and patience in experiment.
