Unification of the people of the
United States was the topic OF the
four minute speech made last night
BY Attorney Curtis Morford, at the
Empress Theatre. NJ. Morford re-
cited the preamble of the eonstitu-

regarding the constitution itself. He
showed that in spite of the union sup
posed to have been formed there arose
,lisintegration. Then the great strug-

into it and all people are now becom-
ing supporters of the nation. The Req

Determining Age Of Planets.

A novel idea in estimating the physi-
cal condition Of planets was put forth
by M. Veronnet before the Academic
des Sciences at a recent meeting in
Paris. He based it upon a calculation
of the quantity Of water that rocks
such as granite and porphyry absorb
before becoming perfectly dry.
He said that on the moon all water
has been completely absorbed by slow
diffusion as the rocks gradually cooled.
Venus is still surrounded by q thick
layer Of vapor, while no water has yet
been condensed on the surface of Mer-
curry, this planet being still in con-
dition in which it's geological life has
not begun, and consequently no clouds
have yet formed on its surface.
n. Veronnet calculates that the
rocks Of our earth now contain alb
sorbed water which would cover the
earth to an average depth Of about
400 metres.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks Of wheat are isO-
lated in India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice In ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l. Australia had
stored 10O.OO0.0O0 bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of S0,O00..
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1S0.000,O0O BUSH
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
100000 bushels Of wheat
stored for export. During April
100000 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels Of wheat left In the
stock available for. export. The
new crop will add 100000 to
the left over.
1t is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
world-it Is entirely a problem
Of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid.
ing our stock with the Allies.

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL.

A general idea of the quantity of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July 1, 1914, to
January 1, 1918, is given by figures
just announced by the U. S. Food Ad.
ministration. In that period the Unit.
ed States has furnished complete year.
ly rations for 57,1O0,933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro.
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for q, 194, $40 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
-four to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 1884, 200, 900 bushels
Pork exports for the 3h years amount
ed to almost 100000, 900 pounds. Ex-
ports Of fresh beef totaled 443, 484, 400
pounds. The amount of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.

6. There is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, fiours, and meals, corn

Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod.
ucts whatever, except a very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so in perfect health and satisfac.

the American people who are able to
cook In their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use Of

ask the well-to-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro
gramme in order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies fol

which will be adjusted from time to
