American Dolls Bald.

Is the future American doll to be
balG-headed? is being asked all over
the country by the little mothers who
have families Of dolls. 1t looks now
as if the birth rate Of dolls i'll Amcri-
ca was to be cut down unless the little.
mothers Of the dolls are willing to
accept their children without lock OF
real hair on their heads
1t seems that there is oniy>onc place.
in the country where dolls are MADE.
Now. these dolls will be evolved with
out as much hair as the baldest Of
babies unless the material is imported,
and it looks now as if that could not
be done
The reason is that real hair in
dolls. the kind that can be combeh
and brushed and curled and put up in
curl papers, is made of WOOL the duty
on which is prohibitive. The tariff is
ITO per cent. on the wool alone, and a
whole doll or dolls head with the
hair already grown can be brought into
this country for 81 per cent less than
the plain undyed material from which
the hair is made
1t is enough to make any respect
able doll turn suffragette the dolls
mammals say, to think that they must
go without hair at all or lose their
inalienable right to be horn American
citizens. The only alternative is to
wear foreign heads on American shouI-
ders.
The owners Of the only doll birth
place in America are asking to have
the duty taken off or reduced on the
