The second annual 40 show, held in

time bartender, with his what II it be,

and that avs the kick . in the drinks,
for nothing harder than pink lemonade
or ginger pop WIS served.

used as gambling den, and here were
to be seen crowds thronging around the
gaming tables, all eager to wager their
money on the roll of the roulette wheel

ALLOTMENT 0F FUEL
 CAUSES DISSATISFACTION

AMSTERDAM, May 6. - Dissatis- faction with the system of coal dis tribution which was employed in Der, lin during the past winter has led to the adoption of an entirely new sys tenn which goes into effect during May. The chief feature of the new scheme is the establishment of ''cus toner lists" which means that a re, taller Is bound to supply those GUS toners who register with him with the amount of coal to which their tickets legally entitle them. The plan is intended to operate over 2 full year so that consumers can uti lize their allotted fuel supply as they see fit.
 There will be two coal tickets, one for coal for cooking purposes and the other for heating coal. The cook ing coal ticket is graded into three kinds according to the number oi persons in the household. A family of one or two persons will receive l., 200 pounds; three to six, 1,600; seven to ten 3,2O0.
 Coal for heating purposes is allot- ted according to the number of rooms in a house. One room is allowed 50C pounds; two rooms 1000 pounds, and so on up to 5000 pounds. Persons whc used more than 6 tons for heat, iEg purposes lest winter will he al. lowed just half the amount they cen. sumed then.

MOTHERS SELL DAUGHTERS TO
 OBTAIN FOQD

PETROGRAD, May 7.-People are dying of hunger in the streets of the large towns of Persia, notably in Ham, adan and Senne, says dispatch from Kazvin to the Rostovskaya Reich.
 ''The specter of famine has become a fearful reality" the correspondent wrote. "To pass through two or three streets in Hamadan or Senne is enough to come upon two or three dead bodies. Here and there may be groups of women mourning over their dead. Here is beggar woman-a mother with two children; one of them, a baby in arms, is dead, and near the mother, on the ground, is another child dying. The mother her self is already motionless, with fro zen, unintelligent stare. The Per sians, seeing that a human being is really dying, shove some bread into the dying woman's mouth, but the be- lated help, of course, does not save her life. The poor villagers throng from the villages to the towns, hop ing in vain to be fed there.
 Even in Kazvin, this more or less weIl-to-do town, it has more than once fallen to the lot of your core spondent to take up from the streets people stripped bare, who from ex- haustion have been unable to move. Mothers sell their daughters, still mere children, in order to secure a crust of bread; wives of poor men are given to the rich that their fami- lies may be maintained.
 ''In Hamadan few days ago sparks of a hunger riot broke out, and it was only the presence of Russian troops that stopped the movement, that was ready to embrace the whole country with it's flames.
 There is a report that Kuchik Khan, the freebooter chief, who lives in the forests near Resht, and has un. der arms about 3O,OOO mounted men, IS only waiting to raise a revolt till the Russian troops leave.
