WPB 'Ersatz Museum
Supplies Answer 10
How Do Nazis Do |t!'
Exhibits Explain
Germans Ingenuity
In Wartime
BY HELEN LOMBARD.

One Of the answers to the ques-
ton, How does Germany do it7"
| can be found in the fast-increasing
"Ersatz Museum" of the War Pro-
duction Board
Samples of German -made substi-
tutes range from bits OF absorbent
cotton manufactured from paper to
an enormous room-h high cog wheel
for actual use in factories and made
Of wood and hardened with plastic.
There are wooden shoppers for bot
ties, razors made Of plastic, medi-
cine bottles fashioned out of oiled
cardboard. all sorts Of ersatz tex
tiles, shaving soap containing no
fats or oil and a substantial length
of bologna sausage made OF fish.
The soap has been actually used
! member of the WPB, who
shaved in his ONCE in front OF in
terested specialists" and found the
ersatz soap and plastic razor ex-
tremely efficient. There have been
no volunteers to try out the fish
bologna, which had become some
what self-assertive upon acquiring
maturity. In appearance, however,
it is the twin brother of the product
to be found in every American food
store.
Samples Hard to Get.
These samples have been accumu-
lated with considerable difficulty
many of them have found their way
to the United States through devious
paths.
The WPB has a two-fold purpose
in organizing the "Ersatz Museum"
While the manufacture OF an article
containing substitutes does not
necessarily indicate a real or criti-
cal shortage in the raw materials
which composed its prototype, it
does at least show lack OF plenty
in some commodity fields.
The samples tell a story OF Ger
man ingenuity and give a hint of
some Of their war production prob
lens. These samples are also sug-
gestions for America should the de-
mands of total war make it neces-
sary to go into all kinds of ersatz
production.
To the vital question of how much
the food rationing is actually pinch
ing the German people WPB off,
Gals have two answers: The Ger
man waistline is unquestionably
Simmer in spite of the wholesale
looting OF the continent, and Ger
mans have become accustomed to
concave stomachs and to eating
fairy food"
Story of Festive Goose.
The German born and reared wife
of an American official in WASH
ington tells the story Of the festive
goose which appeared on the table
of her family back in Germany.
Accustomed to heavily censored let
tiers in which all mention of food
and rationing had been barred by
the censor's brush, she was surprised
to read the following passage: I'VE
had goose for Carl's birthday,
but don't think we had anything
to eat, for the goose herself had not
e. ten since the invasion of Poland"
The recipient Of the letter de-
clded that the censor who permitted
this revelatory statement to remain
readable either must have had
keen sense Of humor or had eaten
a similar goose.

In 1884 he set British society by the ears

was set up in elegant style at Maidenhead,

Dumas doing the cooking and Lord Edward

So that was the file on Lord Edward AS
for Mr. Kelley, it appeared that he too was
wanted ON a charge Of forging $500 worth
Of checks i'm New York City.
The telephone call, during which the agent
was appraised of these matters and in return
told what he knew, brought quick results.
OF these the strangest was not the arrest

In other words, the Kelley boys found
themselves doing n Swiss Family Robinson

Rafting around in a 32-room house, they
had to forage for food, prepare it themselves
and clean up afterward
They had TO make their own beds do their

Lord Edward and Kelley Sr. had not alto

Judging from the number of charges that
had meanwhile landed on Lord Edward and
the boys father, it appears that they must
have financed their venture almost entirely
through rubber checks. Mr. Kelley has lust
