He is also sccused of breaking and entering a bulld- fng at night. Young Welker, who lives at the home of his parents on South Seventh stteet, . Bluffs, it is charged, broke into the waragé of Martin Mortenson, saloon keeper, at 1628 South Elghth and stole & new car. The theft was com- mitted some time Thursday night, was not discovered until yesterday ing. Two hours after Mortenson had notified the police a telephone message from the sheriff of Mills county stated that the automoblle and the suspect were In charge of officors at Glenwood. The boy appears to have been entirely alons in his operations, and, with but iittlo experience In operating the car, he #soon got Into trouble. He made a detour to avold passing through Glenwood, but his arrest folowed when something went wrong with the ear at a point elght miles south of Glenwood, It stopped and he could not start it.

Substitutes Take Place of (Genuine Articles in Germany (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) BERLIN, Nov. 10—The exigencies of the war have led to the creation of al- most countless substitutes for articles which Germahy no longer has, even to the production of substitutions for sub- stitutes no longer available. The central committee of the House- wives' Agsoclations of Greater Berlin has | undertaken to show the public, especially the feminine portion of it, how great is the number of substitutes invented and already on the market, and how practical they are, by means of one of the most notable expositions ever held in Berlin. There are exhibited a few of the food substitutes now in use, but the exposi- tion Is mainly devoted to articles of household use that have come to replace all the copper and nickel ware that has had to be turned in for ammunition pur- Pos€h.. Thua there are common Iron pipes, tastefully gilded, to take the place of brass curtaln poles. There are veasels and receptacles of all sizes made of a material called serpentine, which is found in great quanfitjes near Dresden, avail- able instead of copper pans and pots have gone.! There are oven doors of fron and steel which look every as well as the nickel ones generally ned, and whicls, of cou e practical, ¥ven pins no) of iron Instead of n.lizr hooks and eyes and objects. Some apparently efficlent substitute has been dlscovered for the fare and expen- #lve rubber, and the exposition shows garden hose of the new material, which feels and acts just as genuine rubber does, and will expand and contract quite as well. Even nipples for bables’ milk bottles are fashioned out of this near rubber. The lst of articles includes squeegoes and window sponges. Twine made of paper has been found to be practical, but for use in stores a little machine has been invehted which seals up packages and makes the use of string #necessary. There are paper collars, cuffs, and handkerchiefs, even paper underwear. Underwear and bed linen also have been fashioned out of celluloid, for the purpose of effecting an economy in soap, which is dally grow- ing more expensive. There are literally scores of models of gas, electric and spirit lamps and stoves to tempt people ‘who find it difficult or impossible to pro- cure petroleum, and so-called cooking bowls that can be placed on red-hot stones. Not content with merely exhibiting the thousand and one substitutes now avail- &ble, the woman's assoclation also gives instruction in their use. It has a number of educational courses which it offers to and the public, including one on repairing— || skilled repairers are scarce nowadays— another on buying, and so on.
