CANNOT STARVE US,
LLOYD GEORGE SAYS
Losses From U-BOats Under
100000 Tons a Month. |

London. Aug. 17.-David Lloyd
George. the premier, speaking in the
house Of commons. said:
The government has come TO the
conclusion that with reasonable ecOno-
my there is no chance of starving Eng
land out
The premier said that in the month
of April 560000 gross tons of shipping
were lost through Teuton submarines
In July the tonnage lost went down to
100000 gross tons. This month there
was substantial improvement over
that of July.
The net losses since the commence
ment of Germany's unrestricted sub
marine warfare were under 100000
tons a month.
The admiralty plans for dealing with
submarines have been increasingly
successful. In the first six months of
this wear the tonnage built was 4S4,-
900, while in the last six months, in
cluding purchases. the new tonnage
would be 1,424000.
The premier also said that a consid,
cradle addition had been made in the
program of naval construction.
With the cooperation of America
there would be sufficient tonnage for
all of 1918 and if necessary 1919. Al
though tonnage had decreased during
the last year, more goods had been
carried from overseas.
Regarding the food stocks, he said
/ that this time last year the wheat in
the country amounted to 6.4S0,0o0 quar-
/ tiers and that now it is 5000 900.
| The acreage under cultivation show
| ed an increase of one million acres
If the harvest weather was good, the
! condition of food supplies would be
very satisfactory.
/ There had been considerable saving
| in bread consumption, and owing II
! closer milling and food economy there
! had been an addition to the whea
stock of 10000 quarters a week.

SUNLIGHT AND SOIL.
Causes of the Difference of Color In
Foliage and Flowers.

It Is sunlight that chiefly causes the
difference in the color of the foliage
and flowers of plants. The foliage and
flowers of plants absorb sun rays of
certain colors and reject others, and
this it is that makes the flowers take
on their proper colors.
We know that the character Of the
soil and possibly a difference in eli
mate may cause flowers to change
their colors. Some wild flowers of New
Jersey are Of quite a different shade
Of color from the same flowers in Il
linOis, the character of the soil caus-
ing the flowers to change their selec-
ton of the suns rays, and thus the
color Of the flower is changed.
To prove that the character of the
soil may change the color of flowers
take any of the pink Towering yarie-
ties Of Hydrangea hortensis, repot the
plant, carefully washing away the old
soil, and replace in soil in which alum
has been incorporated. The proper pro-
portion is half pound of alum bro
ken into pieces the size of a hickory
nut 10 edCn buSDel Ol SOil. LII lHlS SUI
the plants, instead of producing pink
flowers, as formerly. will produce flow
ers Of blue.
New shades of flowers are produced
by crossing one color with another,
somewhat as an artist mikes paints to
obtain desired shades and colors, but
with far more trouble and far less ac-
curacy. Sometimes on the same stem
flowers of different colors are found,
due to hybridiZatiOn or to a freak of
nature, the tendency to break away
from the established type. In nature
nothing stands still 1t is either pro
erosion or retrogressiOn.
The range Of color for each species
seems to be confined within certain
limits, though the hybridiZer is gradu
ally extending these limits. Yellow
white and purple are the commonest
colors in wild flowers in the order
named. Yellow is the simplest anC
most primitive color and blue the lates
and most highly evolved.-Exchange.
