ROYALTY ON RESTRICTED DIET

King and Queen of England Among
First to Practice Conservation.
Correspondence Associated Press
London, Feb. liking George
and Queen Mary were among the
first in England, as was Mrs. Wood
row Wilson in the United States, to
make their household conform to the
rigorous rationing system of food
minister or administrator Like the
white house at Washington, the
royal family and staff at Bucking-
ham palace have been placed on the
diet suggested by the man chosen to
conserve the nations food supply, in
England, Lord Rhondda.
From the early days OF the Minis
try of Food the King has insisted
that every suggestion for self-denial
which has been put before the peo-
pie of the country must be Loyalty
observed throughout the royal house
hold
Sir Derek Keppel, master Of the
household, said in an interview this
week:
1--WE are all in line here with the
rations, and I am saying no more
than what is common knowledge
when l tell you that l never knew
any people so thoroughly conscien-
ti6us in this matter as the king and
queen. They accept the restrictions
with the most noticeable cheerful
ness, taking real pleasure in bearing
their share of the food hardships.
1.-THE royal household is a large
and varying one. It's changing char
acter makes some difficulty in the
ratioring, but Il any error is made
in the calculation it Is in the direc-
ton Of less rather than more We
keep in constant touch with the min
istry Of food, learning each day what
ever new regulations may be i'm
pending.
quite often recently the royal
larder has been empty of such COM
modities as butter, margarine, AMI
tea, and we have gone without, from
King down. The king and queen have
repeatedly spoken to me to impress
me with the duty Of se1f-denial in
food and drink. The king in the first
days of the war pledged himself to
total abstinence from alcoholic bev-
erages, and that pledge holds good
today over the whole household.
''The king actually tries always to
anticipate restrictions. A long while
ago he insisted on coal economy in
the palace. Waste of fuel or coal con.
stitutes a grave offense among the
servants CT the king"

bureau, shows that winter In north
ern France is not severe from the
standpoint of low temperatures, but
there is a constancy of moderately
cold weather which is not usually ex-
perienced in the United States. Rath-
err low temperatures sometimes oc-
cur there. but such extremity of cold
weather as Mas been experienced this
winter, in the United States, is un-
known The coolest weather Of rec
ord in Northern France ranges from
about zero, Fahrenheit, to 10 degrees
below.
Summer in northern France is
cool, as compared with most OF the
United States, the average tempera-
ture for July and August, the warm
est months. being SO to 65 degrees,
even lower than along our northern
border Moderately hot weather
sometimes occurs, but extremely high
temperatures, such as occasionally
are experienced in much of the Unit
ed States, are unknown in France.
Temperature as high as 100 never
has been reported in France, while
in the United States 100 to 10 de-
grees have occurred generally.
With the transition from winter
to spring the rapid warming up, ia
miliar to residents in most sections
of the United States, is not so notice
able in France, the average tempera-
ture for March being only to de-
grees higher than for February. April
and May are moderately cool and not
unpleasant, the length of the day in
creases mucl more rapidly than in
most sections of the United States.
and there is a correspondingly large
increase in the amount Of sunshine,
while rainfall is comparatively. light,
although occurring rather frequently.
The summers are pleasant as COM
pared with much Of the United States
the day temperatures being mostly
moderate and the nights cool. Occa
sionally hot weather is experienced.
but the heat is not so excessive and
the heated periods are usually of
short duration.
Fall also is usually pleasant, es-
pecially in September and October.
The rainfall usually becomes heavier,
however.

in the United States, being 500 miles
nearer the North Pole than Chicago.
Along the northern coasts of France
temperatures are very similar to
those of our northern Pacific coast,
the monthly average at Dunkirk,
France, and Seattle, Washington, be-
ing identical for nearly half the
months of the year and differing on
ly slightly for other months.
Not considering the higher noun
tains. rainfall in the eastern half of
the United States, especially in the
south, is much greater than in
France. Compared with Paris, the
average rainfall at Chicago is one
and one-half times as large; at New
York, more than twice as large and
at New Orleans, nearly three times
as large.
Over the lowlands of Northern
France snow is fairly frequent and
may be expected from November to
April, inclusive, although it rarely
attains any considerable depth on the
ground. At the higher elevations of
eastern and southern France, partic-
ularly in the mountains bordering on
Germany where the winters are long
and cold, snowfall is more frequent
and much heavier.
