Nazi Fraus And French Charmers

According to the Berlin corre. spondent of the "Chicago Daily News," the latest-problem which faces the Nazi leaders is to con- vince the women of Germany that their husbands are not suc- cumbing to the blandishments of the ladies of France..

An article in the current issue of the "Schwarzekorps" scolds irresponsible gossipers, and offers "relief and comfort to hearts which are unnecessarily tortured."

It says: "No, dear German women, there is nothing in the story of the warrior from the north who suc cumbs to the charms of the deceiving siren and.. like Tannhauser in the Venusberg mountain, forgets his own hone in the process."

German wives, the article adds, "know, of course, that their men would not behave improperly, but the worm gnuws at their hearts, and next time their men come home and do not sleep because the coffee they bring with them is too strong, then, it is the charming French women who have appeared to them in their sleep.".

No More Ice Cream In Italy

Ice-cream and pastry are to be barred in Italy, and the ration of oll, butter and pork is to be cut to 12 ounces per person monthly, half the preylous allowance.

Rome Radio's comment was meant $19 a comfort to the Italians for their loss,

"Letters of complaint have reached me about the misuse of foodstuffs, cpecially of butter and fats" said the commentator. "Cannot we do

without pastry? the letters ask. Certain pastry shops are the centres of attraction for the snobs of the

feudal aristocracy and feudal Inter lectuals, and places where defeatist stories are spread. So say the letters. Palates Hit

" feel like answering: Just you wait a little my good people, and you will see that the Government will meet your demands. The logical consequences of the restrictive use of futs has come, and pastries and ice- cream are forbidden. The palates of some people will be hit and also their special brand of irresponsibility.

"Conversations between people who manifest pessimism in all but in their appetites will be reduced. It has become impossible row for certain degenerates to satisfy their caprices."
