Leaves Make Food

Somehow, it is harder for us
TO remember that the needles
of such evergreens as pines,
spruces. or jumpers are leaves.
too, and that they perform just
the same functions for those
plants as full-hedged leaves do
for any other plants.
One of the important functions
of leaves is the making of food
for the plants growth. In the
course of doing this. the minute
openings on the under sides of
most leaves give out water
vapor. This process of giving
off moisture is called tranSpira-
ton. 1t goes on just as long as
the plant has leaves.

Leaves Turn Brown

Along in late spring that ever
green has turned brown and is
dying. It's owner blames almost
everything, but seldom thinks
about lack of water.
So, if you have evergreens
that you cherish. water them
well now before they 60 into the
winter season. leave enough
hose either attached or in a
handy spot for use during open
weather all winter long; and, If
you turn off the outside faucets,
at least be ready to turn them
on again when the weather is
dry and there is no snow on the
ground TO give those plants in
leaf the water which win keep
them alive and growing.

Continuous Water Loss

These openings are made so
that under inauspicious condi-
tions they can become smaller,
but it is impossible for them to
close entirely so that all water
loss cannot be stopped.
Consider the conditions in late
fall and winter. After the fall
rains there is little precipitation.
But water loss through the
leaves goes right on This water
can be made up only by intake
through the root hairs of the
plants. The root hairs in turn
take water from the soil.
And what happens when there
is none in the soil to be alb
sOrbed?

The 1914 Quebec conference there

against Japan warranted attention.
Presidential secretary Stephen
Early made it apparent that the
emphasis here would be on those
measures, even though China is
not represented in the delibera-
tons. This conference opening

For that reason it's decisions are
not likely to be made known until
they. are carried into action on
fighting fronts. And for that pur.

words of the officer directing the

Germans must give way.
The First army also was engag-

the Luxembourg border at Bas-

were resisting stoutly ten miles
north of the city of Luxembourg.

All we're in the patter of soften

Several of the Philippine bases
hit by the Navy previously have
been bombed by land planes from
the southwest Pacific-Gen. Goug-
las MacArthur's domain-where a
lull has developed in the last few
days, judging from Macarthur
communicates.
The Navy attack covered the en-.
tire island from Sarangani Bay on
the extreme southern tip to Surf
gao at the extreme north on the
vital Hinutuan passage. 1t was not
able that the communique announc-
ed nothing about warships accom-
panying the japanese convoy or of
trying to protect the many ships
in the harbor.
1t seemed reasonable to believe
that many japanese warships were
still in home ports undergoing re-
pair of the damage suffered in tDe
battle of the Philippine sea last
June.
The Mindanao attack indicated
the closeness with which MacAr-
thur and Adm. Chester Nimitz are
able to dovetail their actions in the
western and southern Pacific. The
Navy raid occurred only about
800 miles from Macarthur base
on Biak island off Dutch New
Guinea.

At the same time American
doughboys slashed across the
Doubs valley to the outskirts of
the highway town of Vesoul, 20
miles north of Besancon, not only
aiming new threat at the enemy
garrison in Belfort gap but block
ing a main road running from Di-

On the eastern end of the Sew
enth army's 125-mile front the
Americans and French closed in
steadily on Belfort Gap despite
logged German resistance.
Pushing along the Swiss from
tier, French troops advanced yard
by yard in bitter fighting in the
vicinity of Blamont, just north of
the town of St. Hippolyte, which
was cleared completely of Nazis
in the past "a hours. American
forces driving up the Ognon river
from the vicinity of Besancon
reached Fougemont, Is miles west
and slightly south of Belfort.
AS Nazi resistance increased
steadily with each succeeding
mile of the Allied advance, it be-
came apparent that the enemy
would make a supreme stand in
the ancient Belfort gateway be-
tween the Vosges mountains and
the Swiss border in an effort to
keep 1t. Gen. Alexander M.
Patch's forces from streaming on
across the German frontier.
CA German news broadcast said
