BERLIN CITIZENS MUST
CARRY BREAD WITH THEM
WHEN DINING IN PUBLIC
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, Feb. 16. via London) -
Patrons of Berlin restaurants after
February % must bring pockets full
of rolls or bread ticket with them
otherwise no bread will be obtainable.
This order was issued today to solve
the only really difficult problem in the
scheme for placing Berlin residents on
a two kilogram bread ration.
Arrangements for the issue of bread
tickets to householders were made and
the authorities authorized hotels and
boarding houses to issue day tickets
for every guest registered.
The newspapers, quick to grasp the
humorous features of the new regula-
tons, suggest that dinner invitations
in the future bear alongside of the
stereotyped "R. S. V. P" the initials of
the German equivalent for bring
bread with you"
Trading in bread tickets will be diff
ficuH, as tickets are not transferable
and are good only for one week. Sim
liar regulations probably will be made
for all cities of over $4,000 population
The Lokal Anzeiger says a state reg
ulation of another essential of German
life is impending. The Bundesrath Is
considering a law limiting the con-
sumption of malt to sixty per cent of
the present quantity permitted to be
used and reducing the beer production
correspondingly Barley thus saved
will be available for human consump-
tion as barley grits or as food for cat
tie.
