PETROL REAL LUXURY.
Most Strictly Rationed in Ireland, But
Sim Feiners Get Supply.

ICorrespondence Associated Press.]
Dublin, May 19.-Gasolene is the
most strictly rationed article in Ireland
today. The use Of automobiles for pri-
waite purposes is hedged about with the
most rigid restrictions and elderly
women are prosecuted II they go shop
ping in motor-cars.
Under these strict regulations re-
garding the use Of gasolene one Of the
perpetual mysteries is how the Sim
Feiners are able to get apparently as
much as they like without leave or IL
cense from the petrol commissioners.
In a recent raid for arms on a castle
at Baronscourt the Sim Feiners ar
rived in twenty motor cars. all album
dainty supplied with ,gasolene. The
rural police are constantly reporting
the confiscaton Of gasolene from cars
which are being operated without pro-
per permits.
Is explained by the fact that consider
able quantities Of gasoline have been
washed ashore along the Irish coast
from torpedoed vessels, usually in cans,
barrels or large drums. Legally, all
such finds are the property OF the state
but the state seldom gets it for the re-

amarillo or yellow peril in Peru.
It Is said that in Peru today there
are no less than 100000 Peruvians who
have Chinese and Japanese blood In
their veins to such an extent that the
Oriental tshara rtarsticS are prominent
in their features and many Peruvian
girls attempt to hide this trait by wear
ing dark glasses.
Formerly the Chinese exclusively
overran the county. but during the
last few years the Japanese have been
arriving in numbers that alarm Peru
vians
The newspapers point out what they
describe as dangerous situation aris-
ing from the Asiatics forcing the ma
tive Peruvians out of almost every
trade. by working much cheaper than
the Peruvians.
The Japanese own and operate the
majority OF barber shops. the Peruvian
carpenter has given way to japanese,
and Japanese servants are rapidly re-
placing the diligent Andine servants.
DR.. Pardo. the. president OF the republic,
has thirty Japanese servants in his
mansion. a fact that has been much
commented upon in recent newspapers.
The Japanese also have forced the
native workers out of the small trades
and minor industries such as laundries
dairies. tin shops. newsstands, messeng-
or ervices. small cafes. etc.
Ell TEMPO of Lima is one Of several
newspapers which have opened their
columns for discussion as to how the
Peruvian laborers can be protected

fact that the invaders appear TO be
perfectly contented to work just as
