CHRISTMAS TOYS
TO COST MILLIONS

Washington, d. C. Nov. 17.-Toys to
the extent of more than twenty mil
lion dollars will have been provided
for American children by their doting
parents before the present year wanes
according to the experts of the federal
bureau Of foreign and domestic COM
merce. This establishes a record
which the statisticians today jubilant-
ly announced. A marked feature Is
that the United States is guarding with
increasing jealously its own produc-
tion of toys and is sending fewer
abroad for the children Of other coun-
tries. The importation of playthings
before the New Year Is ushered in
will aggregate nine million dollars the
experts says.

NOT TO DROP STAMP PRICE
Persons Using Slot Machines Should
Expect to Pay Premium
on Stamps.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 17.-When
an eager person drops a nickel in a
slot machine and gets four one-cent
OF two.cent stamps, thereby paying a
premium of one cent for the privilege
Of dropping the coin, he cannot hold
the United States guilty of extortion.
This ruling was made today by the
postoffice department.
The decision was prompted by the
flood of protests that has nearly
swamped Postmaster General Burleson
all aimed at the imposition OF prem
ium when stamps were extracted from
the mechanical devises.
Directors, therefore, will either have
to patronize their postoffice stamp win
dow or throw their patronage to the
accommodating proprietor of the near
est drug store If they balk at acquir-
ing their stamps "at high cost of liv-
ing" prices.
