A WASHING “TRIUMPH”
SOAP RATIONING IN GERMANY. The rationing of soap and washing powders, and of coal and other fuel, is so strict that the slightest relaxation of the complicated rules for obtaining a piece of crude washing soap is heralded by the Press as “a great improvement” in the lot of the German housewife. The latest “triumph” of this kind is the announcement that 500 grammes—--1 1-101 b—of washing powder per month are to be allowed to mothers of children between two and eight years of age. Hitherto no extra soap was allowed for children over two years of age, so that the clothes of the children at the “grubbiest age” could be cleaned only at the cost of the parents’ own soap ration. Profiteers are, according to the German Official News Agency, busy in Germany. Some dealers are stated to have exploited the restrictions on the sale of soap and have been “severely punished.”
