LONDON, Dec. 14 (Renter)—The Dally Telegraph's Trieste corres- pondent reports that the effects of the Allied blockade and the Rus sion fallure to deliver even 150 of the grain supplies promised have compelled Germany to resort to her grain reserves earlier than was expected,

TEN PER CENT SPOILT The stocks, stored in churches. synagogues and emergency ware- houses have been found to be in very bad condition. The depots in Hamburg, Berlin and Nuremberg are so bad that an investigation ordered throughout the country revealed that ten per cent of the emergency stocks are affected,

All grain stored for more than six months. therefore, is being handed out before it is wholly un- fitter consumption; hence the rescission of the Government or- der that bread must contain a minimum of three per cent of potato flour.

The German publie is, how- ever, being told that the extra supplies are due to the fact that the warehouses are over- Rowing.

The ash receiver at the top has a star-shaped cigarette rest, and the tray turns on a swivel to empty ashes into the deep, roomy tube. When closed, the tray holds smoke and tobacco odor inside. It comes in polished chromium finish and black plastic or English
