GOVERNMENT ATTORNEY TALKS
Substitutes Take
Place of Genuine
Articles in Germany
(Correspondenca of the Associated Prese.)
BBHL1N, Nov. 10. The exigencies of
tha war have led to the creation of al
most cnuntlca (ubstltute for articles
which Germany no longer haa, even to
the production of substitution for ub
tltute no longer available.
The central .committee of the House
wives' Associations of Greater Berlin has
undertaken to show the publlo, especially
th feminine portion of it, how great la
the number of aobstltute Invented and
already on the market, and how practical
they are, by mean of one of the most
notable exposition ever held In Berlin.
There are exhibited a few of the food
substitute now In use, but the exposi
tion I mainly devoted to articles of
household use that have come to replace
all the copper and nickel ware that ha
had to bo turned In for ammunition purposes.-
Thua there are common Iron pipe,
tastefully gilded, to take the place of
bras curtain pole. There are vessels
and receptacle of all sixes mad of a
material called serpentine, which la found
In great quantltie near Dreaden, avail
able Instead of the copper pans and pots
that have gone.1 There are oven doors
made of Iron and steel which look every
bit as well a the nickel ones generally
Used, and which-, of course, are quite aa
practical. Kven pins now are being made
of Iron Instead of nlckal, as are also
hook and eyes and similar object.
Home apparently efficient substitute has
been discovered for the' fare and expen
sive 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
aa well. Even nipples for babies' milk
bottle are fashioned out of this near
rubber. The list of articles Includes
squeegees and window sponges.
Twine made of paper haa been found
to be practical, but for use In stores a
little machine haa been I n vet 1 ted which
seal up package and makes tha use of
string :tnressary. .There are paper
collars, cuffs, and handkerchief, and
even paper underwear. Underwear and
bed linen alao have been fashioned out
of celluloid, for the purpose of effecting
sn economy in soap, which Is dally grow
ing more expensive. There are literally
acorea of .model of ana, electric and
spirit tamp and stoves to tempt people
who find It difficult or Impossible to pro
cure petroleum, and so-called cooking
bowta that can be placed on red-hot
stones.
Not content with merely exhibiting: th
thousand and on substitutes now avail
able, the woman's association alao give
Instruction In their uaa. It has a number
of educational courses which it offers to
the public, including one on repairing
skilled repairera are scarce nowaday
another on buying, and so on.
8T. LOUIS, Dec. 4. Arguments
were concluded late today in the
case of the government to separate
the Central Pacific from the South
ern Pacific railroad, and when the
final briefs are filed on Monday,
December 13, the three circuit Judges
who heard the arguments will begin
final consideration of the petition for
dissolution of the Southern Pacific
system.
The three Judges are, Walter II.
Sanborn of St. Paul, William C.
Hook of Leavenworth and John E.
jCarland of Washington, D. C.
The entire afternoon session of the
court was occupied today by Edward F.
McClennen, attorney for the govern
ment. In his argument in rebuttal of the
argument made by the attorneys for the
Southern pacific.
"If It I shown In tha evidence," asked
Presiding Judge Sanborn, "that the ton
nage over tho Central Paclfio Is as great
now as It would be If the roads were
separated, should the court consider that
fact-In reaching Its conclusion?"
"No.M replied Mr. MfcClennen. "for how
can the court decide whether the ton
nage now Is as great a it would be If
the Central Paclfio were a separate line."
"The fact that the Union Pacific la
competing for business through the
Ogden gateway la not the vital point,"
said Mr. McClennen. "The vital ' point
1 that tha Central Paclfio, because It Is
owned by th Southern Pacific, Is not
competing for business for th , Ogden
gateway."

CfF The man who buys Omaha real
estate at its present price will be
the one who will within a few years
be pointed to as a very shrewd busi
ness man.
CIF Business conditions in Omaha were never
better than they are today; Omaha is fast be
coming the great market place of the central
west, buyers and sellers of various kinds are
meeting in greater numbers every day on our
markets.
lf Omaha manufacturers are increasing in
number each year and the products of
these various factories are finding a ready
market in almost every town and city of
the country.
ff Real estate purchased ten years ago has
shown advances in values little dreamed of at;
that time, and Omaha is now only coming into ;
her rightful position as a city of the greatest
agricultural and stock raising district of the
United States.
f Values in real estate are going to in
crease faster in the future than they have
in the past, and if you want to be one of
the profitors, now is the time to secure
your real estate interests.
Omaha offers numerous kinds of real estate
investments within the reach of any investor.
By buying a little in advance of the develop
ments, the small investor can secure acreage
tracts or residence lots in various locations,
which will be sure to show handsome increases
in value; while the large investor can secure
properties that will double in value within a
short time.
f In today's BEE you will find a number
of choice properties located in various
parts of the city, offered at prices which
will make them very profitable investments.
