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.
