BERLIN. Dee. lS.-(VPtle-ally
all basic neSesslties-of life are
rationed In Germany now.
New clotblag cards hare .Just
heea distributed, adding to the as
sortment of complicated cards the
Gnnan citizen has to tote about.
Keeplnr clothes on his back.
and socks on his feet, to as big a
problem as keeping food In the
stomacn. He can ret niy one iu
jear. and. If he tsU that, he can
bay only on shirt a year, women
and children likewise are limited
closely.
Girls who would like silk stock-
Inn are as hard hit as anyone.
They are allowed six pairs a year.
which they wear right through,
and they cannot get enough darn
ing thread.
Men. women, boys from three
to 14 years, girls of the same age.
and chlMren from two to three
vears old. each have special cards.
They contain 100 coupon which
must last a year. Those for small
er children have 70 coupons.
Cowponn as Moaey
The cards nave a list of ra
tioned articles 30 for men and
43 for women. Each item is
"worth" so many coupons. Thus
"'"it is possible to calculate In ad
vance Just what may be pureh-
aed during the coming year.
. A handkerchief, for example.
"coats" two coupons, a man s suit
Cd. and a woman's suit SI."
If Frits buys a new suit now. j
he will bare only 40 coupons to I
get him through until October 31.
1940. That la tearing Tery little
for such articles as shirts, "cost
ing" 20 coupons, socks, necktie.
pajamas, etc.
If Gretel buys a suit, it means
her year's supply of coupons Is
reduced drastically. She could not
for example, get a suit and a wool
en dress. The suit "costs" CI and
the dress 40.
She could get a suit, a plain
dress and three pairs of stockings.
She still would be unable to get
any under garments.
Hoarding prevented
The coupons, with certain spe
cified exceptions, are ralid only
during stated periods. Men. for I
example, must be content with
nslng 30 coupons until February!
1. 1940. This prerents "hoard
ing." .
, Hats are about the only major
Item which still are available as
freely as in peace time. Other
items not specifically rationed
with the exception of hats, require
special permission to buy. Men's
and women's overcoats are on the
list, along with work clothes and
household linen.
When permission to buy a new
coat la granted, the old one must
be turned in. Permits for such
purchases are hard to obtain, ask
many questions, and 'sometimes
they even go so far as to hare
dwellings sesrched to see whether
the truth has been told. -
ome articles, aitnougb ra
tioned, also are limited. If a wom
an buys more than four pairs of
stockings in a year, she must hand
orer twice as many coupons for
the last two pair.
Some necessities still are free
of all restrictions. These Include
potatoes, coal, wooden kitchen
utensils, furniture, curtains, ci
gars (although limited to tire at
a time), clgarets, fruits, vegeta
bles, ana matches.
