KANN's GREATER ToYLAND!
A Veritable Fairyland of New Nov.
elites For the Children.
Greater Toyland.

Greater Toyland.
1t is situated on the fourth floor OF s.
Kann, Sons & Co.'S, and its delights can
not be pictured by imagination. Nothing
less than visit can give an idea OF Its
novelty and charm. For ten months the
stores expert buyer has been searching
the world for toys of an infinite variety
that even Aladdin's lamp would find 1t
hard to duplicate. Just as throughout the
vast establishment there are sections de-
voted to every want of the man and wom-
an. so on the fourth floor there are sec
tons that supply every fancy of the
childs. Electricity has entered the field
Of toys and the result has been that
there is no recent development in science
and mechanics that Is not here produced
in miniature.
Moving pictures. for an Instances. The
toy apparatus shows a line Of artistic
photographs Of a quality TO please old
and young. and there are endless varieties
of films.
Electricity runs trolley cars and Ferris
wheels. and there are railway systems,
with tracks. tunnels, stations and boats
to carry trains across water. There are
countless other toys in which electricity
Is the motive power that makes the
wheels go round.
There is a StuHed amman zoo, with
brown bears still in the lead, though hard
pushed by white elephants, and there are
captivating goats with realistic baas.
Dollville is wonderful place, where the
Inhabitants are Of every size. from the
tiniest dolly ever to imposing young
ladies as large as a girl OF ten. There
are "outer wear" departments for dolls,
and departments for millinery. shoes and
lingerie. Miss Viola, who is so popular
with the small girls of Washington, may
be QUILTED from top to toe on the fourth
floor at kann's. Also she may have her
hair dressed by the dolls beauty doctor,
or IL she is really and truly i'll there is a
hospital where she may be treated and
turned out as good as new.
Furniture for children-lovely. little
white enameled dressing cases and desks,
and oh. everything!-is another attraction,
and there is furniture also for dolls. Just
imagine a great worlds fair reduced to
miniature by some magical process and
some idea will be gained Of the Greater
Toyland at Kann's.

Lighting Automobile Lamp.

age employed as chauffeur for c. c.
Campbell, was seriously burned last night
by the explosion of lamp on an auto
mobile. The car was in front Of 1909
Euclid street shortly after 8 o'clock.
When Van Fleet proceeded to light the
lamp the explosion occurred, the blaze
spreading out far enough to severely burn
his face, eyes and hand.
AS soon as he had partly recovered
from the shock Van Fleet was removed
to Freedmens Hospital In the automobile
and placed under the care of DR.. War
field The surgeon found that the patient
had sustained painful burns to his face
and side of his head and his eyes. 1t is

his sight only temporarily, and that he
will probably eventually recover.
