ROMAN PAWN SHOPS
PUT ON THE BUM

ROME, Italy, Jan. 15.-War, which has boomed almost every industry in the world, has put the Italian pawn shop not on the boom but on the bum. The Italian women say this has hap pened because their soldier husbands are not at home to spend their money for drink and the wives can use the government pay to take care of the family instead of pawning everything in sight. Hard times for the people are supposed to make good times for the pawnbroker, but whatever other trials and miseries the war is infict- ing upon Italian wives, mothers and sweethearts, it has lessened rather than increased the financial worries. Pawnbrokers n Rome alone report a slump of hundreds of thousand of dollars in business. Most of these are government controlled pawnshops and before the war their portals were among the most frequented in all Italy. The government allowance to wives and families amount to only a few cents e day, but the Italian women have learned frugality in a

hard school and they know their les son well. Not only are most of them taking care of their families, but many of them are scratching and saving enough soldi to redeem some of the pledged household articles. "Of course l can manage when every thing doesn't go for wine," said the wife of workman. "A lire a day from the government and the fifty centimes a day I make from sewing is a lire and half more than had when my man was home. Bread and soup and a little cheese-what more does one want. My children and l manage very well"

PROHIBITION FIGHT
IN NEBRASKA

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 17.-First guns are booming in the wet and dry fight in this, w. J. Bryan's home state. Bombardment of the public with the heavy artillery of both fac tions will culminate in a victorious vote for the vets or the drys at the November 7th voting throughout Nebraska.
 The moral issue is not stressed in this prohibition campaign. The vets are seeking in various ways to show the people, particularly the farmers, wherein dry territory is going to hurt business and bring farm and other products prices down.
 The drys are seeking to show the people where the liquor business makes for false prosperity and really accomplishes more physical and fin- ancial harm than good. The dry fight is in charge of democrat-republican- progressive, non-partisan federation which expects to put state and local tickets in the field this fall.
 According to the anti-saloon league, Nebraska now has 28 dry counties with 153,653 population; 851 dry and 219 wet towns, 54 dry and 38 wet county seat towns and total of 800 saloons in the state. Forty thousand Nebraskans must ask that the prohi- bition question be submitted to a vote before it will be placed on the ballot. These petitions are being prepared by the drys now.

CALLS DIES MONIES
 PLAN X FAILURE

DIES MONIES, la, Jan, 31.-The so-called Des Moines plan of city government, one of the first forms of Commission government, which at tracted much favorable attention the country over when it was adopted seven years ago, is branded a failure by Councilman w. r. Mitchell and a considerable percentage of the citi- zens. Mitchell was put into office to see if he couldn't reorganize affairs and make the plan successful. His resignation is rendered today, effect i've this spring. Mitchell says the City Manager plan should be adopted by Des Moines. The bonded and floating indebtedness of Des Moines has increased nearly $1,OOO,OOO since the plan was put in force seven years ago. The plan was heralded as one that would eliminate partisan politics from all municipal elections, place the responsibility for the success of fail- ure of the city government upon the heads of the individual commissioners and generally make for economy and efficiency. Mitchell says politics has not been eliminated and that financi- ally the plan has accomplished no good. Mitchell favors electing councilmen by districts rather than at large, paying them for one meeting a week. He believes all municipal ex- ecutive control should be vested in the City Manager together with power to enforce all laws and or dinances and to control all city work. Mitchell believes this would. kill the political phase he believes has made the old Des Moines plan useless.

DIDN'T WANT THE PROMOTION
Corporal Had Good Reasons for De-
cIinine Elevation Which Most
Soldiers Would Welcome.

Some soldier was Corporal A. Lin
coin Brown, and he belonged to some
regiment, too, for at the time we speak
Of he was in the Ninth cavalry.
Nobody remembers how it happened
now, but there was some mix-up, and
there was no money in the treasury
for the disposal of the army, and for
five solid months soldiers hadn't seen
what dollar bill looked like. The
army paymasters were just laying
around and waiting for something to
happen.
Lieut. Col. John H. Gardner, now
retired and recruiting officer for the
San Francisco district, was first lieu
tenant of the Ninth cavalry at that
time. In common with all the officers
Of his command he was getting along
financially during the period of non
payment of troops by borrowing
money each month from banks. Lieu
tenant Gardner was in command of a
troop. In common with all the troop
commanders he had to loan all his
men money regularly so that they
could buy tobacco, and pay for their
laundry and all that sort of thing,
and one of Gardeners heaviest debtors
in the troop was Corporal A. Lincoln
Brown.
There was vacancy in sergeancy
in Gardeners troop. The lieutenant
studied over the list of men he had
who were fitted to be sergeants and
finally he chose Brown as the best of
the lot. He had Brown called before
him.
Corporal" he said, I'm going to
give you that vacant sergeancy."
Normally when corporal in the
army is told something like that at
least a grin of appreciation can be
counted on. Corporal Brown, how
ever, looked frightened first and then
gloomy. "Beggin' de troop comman-
der's pardon, sah," he said, 'but you
amt got nothin' against me, has
your"
"Why, Of course not" replied Lieu
tenant Gardner. 'Why- do you ask
fool question like that when l just
told you I was going to have you
promoted? Don't you want to be pro-
moted?"
All should say not, sah," said Cor
poral Jones vehemently. "Ah done

Latest Glass Substitute.

AS a substitute for glass in the
equipment of automobiles and many
other similar Uses, f prfooa aueett Ia been
brought out recently in Germany and
is now being subjected to rigid tests
in various shapes at the scene of war.
1t is known as "cellon" and has many
remarkable qualities. 1t is almost un,
breakable by ordinary handling.
Sheets of this material can be bent
backward and forward many times
without breaking; blocks of this
transparent product can be subjected
to blows without showing fractures;
1t can be produced in any desired
thickness. Clear and completely
transparent, light or dark colored,
mottled or even black, it can be used
for the manufacture of all objects now
made of celluIoid. It's chief advantage
over celluloid is it's safety against fire.
A sheet of cellon may be ignited by ar

evening. He went out on the street
and came near getting bad reputa-

his family. A poor family had been
burned out He helped them find and
furnish up some comfortable rooms.
Then he happened to call on Miss Eva
Briggs. She was close friend of
Grace's, that was why Lyndon liked
her.
He was glad to listen to her warm
praises of her dear chum. She told
him how Grace was at the head Of the
society that was arranging to provide
fres ice all summer to the poor fami-
lies living over on the flats

and he promptly donated hundred
dollars. When he got home lie found
he had Inadvertently slipped into his

section of the town where the head of

where help was sorely needed. In
each instance there was an infant
