West's face was certainly red, but there was no one to blame but him- self. His greediness had cost a great many points.

EXPEDITION INTO GERMANY

(Continued from Page 5).

Schools have had to extend their holidays, as they have no coke with which to heat the classrooms.

Schoolboys made

to haul coal

I heard of boys at one school being mobilised to go to the station, load coal into a cart, and drag it through the streets to their school, and then unload it into the school bunkers.

Their mothers were upset when the boys went home. For even the sweat shirts and ski-ing suits they wore for this coal-carting cost precious coupons to be replaced or even if hey are patched. And patching and replacing were necessary.

As for washing and cleaning, that means going without butter or mar- garine. To buy soap, even the poor quality, latherless stuff going under that name in Germany to-day, Germans must give up fat coupons, and fat coupons cover a total al- lowance of 37 ounces of fat stuffs for each person a month.

This means a total of 37 ounces of butter, margarine, lard, salad oil, bacon and soap. Many hausfraus are trying to do their washing with- out soap.

But this, they find, is wearing out clothes. Many men are wearing dirty shirts,

the streets, too,« saw there. Out in there were people réeling about.

Drunkenness is treason now

I asked my friends about it. They said that people in Germany as a whole were drinking far more hard liquor than they used to, and less wine and beer. This was due chiefly to the raising of the duties on wine and beer.

But perhaps people also got tipsy- more easily these days, they suggested, because they drank so often on empty stomachs, particularly the workmen.

Himmler and the S.S. police already paying attention to this pro- blem. Severe penalties have been an- nounced for workmen whose efficiency suffers from inebreity or hangover.
