American Flag Not A Toy.

Under no circumstances is the
American flag TO De regarded as a
toy, according to the Board Of Uaited
States General Appraisers. The
Board decided that Takito & Co, OF
Chicago and other Japanese import
ers cannot bring in the Stars and
Stripes under the toy schedule OF
the Dingley traiff. The flags, in the
test case, were made of silk and were
not over an inch and one-half in
length. The Collector Of Customs
of Chicago exacted duty on the flags
at the rate of so per cent. ad va
loren under the provision in the
tariff for manufactures of silk
The importers asserted that the flags
should be admitted at 35 per cent
as toys. In his decision General APP
praiser Sharretts says: eve do not
think that the American flag, how
ever diminutive, is commercially,
commonly or nationally regarded as
a plaything for children, and we
find that the flags in dispute are not
toys
