BISHOP RELATES NOTABLE EXPERIENCE When Canada‘s Foremost Airmart‘ Apâ€" peared Before the King at | Buckingham Palace. j One day I had truly a wonderfol surprise, says Lt.â€"Col Bishop. It had been. a very rainy day, and as thers was 1c fiying I went over to lunch witkh a cousin of mine, who was staâ€" tioned only three miles away. After luncheon I returned, and, upon seeing my new squadron commander, went up to speak to him. He told me that the general in command of the Fiying Corps had been trying to get me on the telephone, and said he wanted to speak to me when I came in. I could not imagine why so important a perâ€" son as the general should want to speak to little "me," but rang him up. My cup of happiness overflowed when he told me that he wanted to be the first to congratulate me upon being awarded the Victoria Cross. I could hardly ho‘d myself down after hearing the great news. Walkâ€" ing across the aerodrome to the squadron headquarters, which was stationed on the other side. I had tea with the men there and then came back. The next night we had a big celebration in the way of a dinner, and managoed to collect guests who came quite big distances to be there. It was a wonmlerful success, lasting until after midnigcht, and several of our gvests remained al} night and returned early the next mornin@e. A few days afterward 1 returned to Enrgland on leave, when I went to the investitwre by the King@g. I had, on the nrevious day, received a teleâ€" gram of instructions, telling me to renort at Buckingham Palace at 10.30 in the morning dressed in Service vniform. At 10.10 I was there, not wiching to be behind time on such an cccasion, and rea‘izing I had betâ€" ter find out before it happened just what was exnected of me. The Ordeal of a Lifetime. Walking into the Palace, I came to a hatâ€"stand, where everybody was checking things. I handed in my hat, gloves, and stick, whereugpon I was told to hang on to the gloves, wearâ€" Ing one on my left hand and carryâ€" Ing the other. Then, following a number of other officers, also there to be decorated, I came to a room in which a weneral was standing. I asked him where I was to go, and he asked me what I was getting. I becan the lon# rigmarole of V.C., D.S.0., and M.C., but before I had finished he told me to go in with the D.S.0.‘s, as I was the only V.C. So I slipped away into a room where there were about 150 other officers. _ After waiting there for over half an hour, another general came in and gave us explicit instructions as what to do in the Kinw‘s nresence. It was a terrible moment for us all. British Air Uniform. Britith air ministry announcées in London that a light blue uniform has been approved for offieers aud airmen of the Royal Air Force. Some months must elapse before the new uniform ean be generally provided, but khaki uniform will shortly be unavallable, and will grad«sly be replaced by a blue unifory , Findally the door opened, and we were headed toward the room in which the King was nznding with his staf. Following some generals and colone‘s, who were being admitâ€" ted to the Order of St. Michael and St. George, it came my turn to march in. I knew my instructions well. Ten yards across to the middle of the room, and then a turn to the left and bow. Imagine my consternation when, at the first of those ten paces, one of my boots began to squeak. Somehow or other I managed to get to the proner place. where I was facâ€" ing His Majesty. Here I had to listen to an account of my own deeds, read by one of the staff, while I myself stood stifflv at attention. Then, apâ€" proaching the King, he hooked threo medals on my bregst. These had been Lamded to him on a cushion. He conâ€" gratulated me upon winning them, and told me it was the first time he had been able to give all three to any After a short, oneâ€"sided conversaâ€" tion,. in which my only attempt to speak failed utterly, although I was trying to say "Yes, sir," he shook bands with me, and I bowed and backed away, turning and walking thirty squeaky paces to a door in the corner of the room. The moment I yeached the outside of this door I thought 1 had been thrown into the arms of a highway robber. A,man suddenivy stepped from one side, and heforc 1 could stop him had snatched the three glittering medals off my chest, and was fifteen yards ahead of me on the way down the hall before 1 realized what had happened. 1 took after him, not knowing what to do, but he picked up three boxes from a table, put the medals in, and handed them back to me.: Then he returned to meet the next man coming out, who incidentally was a great friend af mine, #d also in the Flying Corps. The next thing to be feared was the erowd at the Palace gates and the photographers. Luckily, I had a car waiting in the enclosure, and by getâ€" tin= into this managed to evade evel ohne Derson vbody odest Hero Escapsd Crowd.

In the first place, water made by melting snow is very unwholesome and causes painful inflammation of the throat, palate and tongue. h Intense cold causes a dulling of the senses, tasto and smell becoming alâ€" most nil. The lack of these two senses seems, however, to be a very kind and wise provision of nature to enable the traveller in the cold regions to eat all kinds of oily, disagreeable foods like blubber and fat, which are necessary as heat producers. The effect of cold ® on the eyes is very dangerous. It causes them first gradually to close and then to freeze tight. Beards do not freeze except whese the moisture from the breath is conâ€" verted into snow: but the color glands are rendered somewhat torpid by the cold,â€" and dark beards gradually beâ€" come lighter, until after a while they seem entirely ch'anged in color. Another curious fact about the cold of the Arctic regions is that when a person stops walking or working in any way whereby the feet get exerâ€" cise, the sole of the foot loses all sense of feeling. In all extremely cold lands, the moisture exbaled from the body conâ€" denses into small, hard crystals which make quite a bit of nolse as one walks about. It is estimated that $3,000,000 worth of used tin cans are wasted every year in Canada.
