SOAP IN GERMANY
RATION OF OUNCE PER WEEK.
Under their new rationing system the Germans arc to be allowed, among other things, loz. of soap per week. Not being entirely clear what that means in terms of familial' soap measurements. I have had an ordinary tablet of toilet soap weighed. It turns the scale at just under 4oz. Each German. therefore, will have to exist for a week on the equivalent of about a quarter of a normal piece of soap. That, it must be assumed, will have to serve for washing his person, his clothes. his floors, his knives, and spoons, and any other object that may need ablution. This is real hardship, for the ordinary German is essentially a r]<vmly person.—“Jan7»? ’ t)ie tor."
