RESTRICTION ON
 MOTORS IN IRELAND
By Associated Prsss

Bubiin. December L-Much resentment has been aroused among Irish motorists by the governments new order under which nobody is allowed to own or drive an automobile In Ireland unless he has ot tafned permit from the police.
 It is intended to prevent the use of au- tomobiles as aids to crime. Permits will be given only to persons concerning whose character and dispositions the po- lice are satisfied.
 Permits have already been refused on the ground that the applicants are not loyal. Before a permit Is issued the ap- plicant must furnish two photographs, and descriptions of himself and his car The regulation applies to chauffeurs as strictly as to owners, and the Drivers and Mechanics union has threatened to go on strike if it is enforced.
 Many Sim Teiners and others refuse to apply for motor permits. Their cars will be liable to seizure. The police have power to enter any garage and the owner. can be sentenced to imprisonment for possessing it
 The order was provoked by the fact that Sim Fein raiders for arms and nien who had attacked police barracks, have escaped capture by using fast cars and motorcycles. Traders in cars and taxicab ownes say that the regulation will kill their business.

 Last March. foreigners, who up to that time had enjoyed special privileges, be- came the objects of persecution, declared M. Saponen. This gradually increased until June, when foreigners especiaEy the English, were attackeds wholesale
 The Germans after the Brest-Litovsk conference could do as they liked, but a change came with the German revolution. The German diplomats were badly treated and after June l all Germans shared the fate of other foreigners"
 There has been little home life in Pe- trograd since July l. M. Saponen stated, when parents were ordered to take all meal sin the communal eating houses This order has not yet been extended to Moscow.
 Owing to the closing of millinery shops and other places employing large num- bers of women, those who were physically able went into the munition works and other factories. The remainder were shut of from a livelihood and were forced to shift for themselves as best they could.
 What police protection Petrograd eh- joys is given by women, said NJ Saponen, and continued
 "A year ago evsx-s person was law unto himself. the authorities doing little to suppress Iawlessness, but since sprsNg the police and militia made up of wom- en from the Baltic provinces, have been trying to keep order. In Moscow there is regular militia, the members of which are often themselves arrested by sol diers.s
 Although burglars caught in Petrograd are promptly executed by the bNlshevists, robberies are still frequent
 Wines and vodka are still obtainable at exorbitant prices.

FLAXSEED SKINS SOURCE OF BREAD
PetrOgrad Has Not Been Able to Obtain Anything
 Else for Months

Helsingfors, Finland, November IT, (Correspondence of the Associated PressD The only bread the majority of the res idents of Petrograd have been able to ob- tain for months has been the so1called 'duranda," made from flax seed s&hs from which the oil has been pressed, M. Saponen, a Petrograd art dealer, who recently succeeded in escaping from bol- shevist Russia to Finland. who discloses this situation, says are bread is highly irritating and causes stomach trouble.
 NJ. Saponen expressed the opinion that. if the allied blockade continued the worst months for boishevist Russia wocld ne March and April He stated that, though unemployment was general in Pe- trograd, it was difficult to hire work men owing to their weakened condition and apathy. The propertied class, who arc not allowed food rations, get nothing except what they manage to buy sur reptitiously by selling their furniture and other possessions.
 feBartering is extensively practiced in Petrograd and Moscow. as well as in the country" continued M. Saponen. 'No one may legally possess more than 5000 ruh8es. When people have nothing more

Not Through With War

London, December 4.-Rear Admiral Philip Dumas expresses the belief that the world is not through with war. sSave the oil, take care of it and preserve it" he advised the Institution of ePtrolerm Technologists the other day. 'If for noth- ing else we shall require it for the wars of the future, which, believe me, will come despite the efforts of the late army of geniuses in Paris to make future wars impossible. This has been war waged largely on oil. The next one will be near 1y wholly so, and Bismarck's dictum of blood and iror brought to date will read blood and oil'"

TERRACES TO
BE DISCUSSED
This viii Be One Of the Subjects a
Farmers Week at College OF
Agriculture, According to
County Agent Hook.

KAHOKA. Mo-, Dec. 2S.-Accord-
ing to w. A. Hook, county agent, the
subject of terracing will be discussed
THIS year during farmers week at the
college OF agriculture. This is topic
which will be of exceptional interest
10 the farmers of the state this year
IN view of the fact that so much or
At has been done during the past year
and SO much more of it will be car
rled on during the coming year.
Reports coming in from county
agents regarding the value OF ter
racing in their counties show that
this system of soil erosion control IS
by far the best method yet devised.
Compiling the reports Of only twelve
o. the counties reporting, 1t is found
mat terraces have reclaimed over
1000 acres Of land and have saved
the farmers in those counties over
S25,000 in actual cash. While these
are, of course, based on estimation,
II is safe to say that the figures are
very conservative, and represent
merely drop in the bucket when
lne entire state is to be considered.
There are ia counties in Missouri
and terracing could be done to gooa
advantage In 80 per cent OF these
counties. BASED on these same rig.
