MILWAUKIE MAN EXAMINED
SECOND TIME FOR INSANITY
Ludwig Falk, of Milwaukie, was
Saturday examined on a charge of
insanity, and turned loose by the of
ficers, who found him perfectly sane.
This is the second time Mr. Falk has
been charted with insanity. The
complaint was entered by his wife,
and Sheriff Wilson took him into
custody. At the hearing before
County Judge Anderson, it develop
ed that the charge was the outcome
of a rather severe family quarrel,
during which the defendent, aged 60,
stated that his wife, who is 14 years
his junior, struck him on the head
with a heavy pan. He retaliated this
blow with a slap in the face, and the
wife straightway charged him' with
insanity. It is stated that the couple
have had previous trouble, and it was
on complaint of his wife's relatives
that Falk was taken up for msan
ity once before.
After the examination, which was
conducted by Judge Anderson and
Doctors Norris and Mount, Mr. Falk
stated that he would not molest his
wife by his presence, but would leave
home, for the benefit of peace -in the
family.

The recent drastic orders, that all
purchases of wheat flour be accom
panied by a purchase of a like I
amount of substitutes, has been
softened to some extent by the gov
ernmental order permitting potatoes
to be added to the list of substitutes.
The scarcity of farinaceous supplies
in the Willamette valley, and
throughout the entire state, which
come within the definition of substi
tutes, had the tendency to work a
hardship on ordinary families, and
the addition of potatoes will be wel
comed. They will not be sold at the
same ratio as other substitutes, how
ever, as it will require four pounds
of them to equal one pound of the
other substitutes, such as bulk hom
iny, corn grit, corn meal, corn flour,
edible corn starch, rice, rice flour,
buckwheat, potato flour, soya bean
flour, and feterita flours and meals.
The new ruling was telegraphed to
Judge Anderson, of the County De- i
fense league, by State Food Admin
istrator Ayer. It is not expected that
the arrangement will be permanent,
as other substitutes will be arranged
for, and the lists made to include
those articles that are more easily
obtainable.
