DOLL WILL HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL
HUMAN FACE IF MADE IN
THIS COUNTRY.

dolls are dressed in the factories that
produce them and wear the everyday
clothes Of real child. in place OF the
betrimmed and perishable costume Of
the French doll. A child may enjoy
pink ribbons and blond lace to look
ut, but TO play with the little blue
bingham frock that can be taken of
and Numbered when soiled is vastly
more satisfying to the normal child
Then, too, the jointed American doll
can "do things"
What imported doll can say her
prayers with folded Anger tips and
Bonded knees or balance herself on
one toe as though preparing TO do
Mile. Genee dsnceH
Whether In sympathy with the the
cries Of the moderuist or not the
American doll strives to be 9 playmate
for It's little owner rather than baby.
While the French doll can be carried
about, undressed and put TO bed. the
iointed. non-breaksble American doll
can be played with. She is so con-
structed that she will bear six hours
day work and still outlast the i'm
ported doll that's kept IN the com
pany room bureau drawer and only
taken out on Sundays.

Wigs Most Difficult Problem.

One American factory is making
dolls entirely Of wood, head and body
with every joint so constructed that
the body is given practically the same
freedom Of movement as the human
form. The joints have heavy wire
springs in them so that they are as
durable as the body, making a doll
that is practically indestructible. Doll
wigs. the most difficult problem for
the American toy maker TO solve, are
now made In this country, Of both
mohair and Of human hair. This is
an achievement of only few years
standing. This discovery Of the secret
Of making doll wigs has bridged the
last gap of our dependence on Europe
for dolls, or any part Of their con-
struction, except bisque heads, and we
have found q satisfactory substitute
for that in the wood or composition

that you didn't know what TO say or

playing with, and perhaps fighting
with, an hour or so before we're there,
but you were all afraid OF one another
Perhaps il was your good clothes, or
perhaps the fact that older people we're
around. or perhaps your fear that you
hadn't had much social experience.

Children Like Costume Parties.

Sometimes I've given costume par
ties for the children. All children like
to dress up | think, and some very
grown-up children like it, too. That is
why people always love a fancy dress
dance or masquerade, you know One
good thing about a fancy dress party
is the fact that children lose their
circumstances quickly when they
are en- costume. And. of course, self
consciousness is something which l

League Not Hidebound.

Social betternent in this league is
not hidebound. II is not formed and
grown on precedent~-even its own
precedent-for each centre Of activity
carries on its work Independently. A
little town in the West really does not
caro- very much that city in the East
emphasizes q certain phase. This town
knows that entirely different roads
must be perused by them, and it forth
with sets out on the clearest path for
social perfection. Each locality carries
on different work, and therefore the
best national results are procured
There will always be alleys, dark
and dirty, in which the city's lsunder-
ing is done; there will always be en-
ployers who are totally ignorant Of
the needs of their employees, and there
will always be overworked factory
hands," explained Miss Wetmore.
Education is the motive power that
runs this national machinery. Educs-
ton of the employer. Of the employe,
Of the public, and his drastic opinion.
Vast lsbors these, but promising Of
infinite rewards. For II the employer
must be considerste OF his workers,
so must the employe be taught some
of the working principles and economic
levers that help 70 govern his actions.
And so must the onlooker, the never
disinterested partisan, be laugh. to
understand both factions. must grasp
the meaning and sympathi.s with the
struggle Of capital and labor. This Is
the labor Of the National Civic Fedora
ton, whose workers are garnered from
the leaders Of every class in the coun.

~ name by which Miss L. Arvilla
Howe Is known TO her patrons.
As her patrons are sometimes not more
than three years old il is not strange
that they do not trouble themselves
about hor real name. Their parents,
when they make out the check for Miss
Howe's services, have TO know her

names and stupid things like that?
What they do care about Is the kind OF

BIC CELEBRATION MAY
Be HELD IN SEPT.
River Wall and Dam May Not Be
Completed in Time For
July 4 Fete

Uncertainty regarding the compile
ton of the river wall will delay the
proposed improvement celebration
from July to September, is the
opinion expressed by Henderson Gill
bert, president of the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commefce to-day.
When Mr.. Gilbert was asked how
soon the Chamber of Commerce would
start plans, he said: mot very soon.
We cannot do anything until we know
when the improvements will be ready.
The completion of the river wall will
be held up, L understand, and the city
can give me no definite information
as to when it will be completed. The
river dam cannot be finished until the
wall is completed.
"I had hoped to take up the plans
early in January and have the big
celebration in July .but it looks very
much now as if we cannot celebrate
until September. 1t would be folly
to plan for q celebration in July and
not be able to have it at that time.
AS soon as something is known def
nitely about the completion of the i'm
provements, the Chamber of Com
merce will get busy"

DON'T CUSS BALL!
HINTS TAFT, GOLFER
Less Profanity, Better the Score,
Declares Ex-President in Let
ter to Another Yale Prof.

New Haven, Conn, Dec. S0.-Ex-
President Taft yesterday, in a letter
to another Yale professor, discusses
profanity in connection with golf.
Though an ardent golfer, Professor
Taft is not ambitious to become an
expert in the vocal branch of the
game.
II think golf is one of the greatest
games for the promotion of the health
of men of over 40 that know of" he
wrote. 1T is an admirable form of
exercise; it is consistent with social
enjoyment; it trains one in self-re-
straint; it introduces one to nature in
its most attractive form, and it has no
bad results, except that in the outset
it may tempt to profanity.
This, however, is of short duration
with a man of any sense, because he
finds that the less he resorts to pro-
family and impatience the better his
score"

FOOTBALL RULES
ARE SATISFACTORY
Minor Changes May Come Later;
One Fatality Reported by
Committee
Special to The Telegraph

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 30.-Football
rule makers in session yesterday de-
cided that no changes were necessary.
A few minor details may be revised,
but important alterations are not
likely to be made.
Walter Camp, of Yale attended the
conference and discounted any idea OF
material change in the football rules.
"The present rules have developed a
game which allows full scope for in
dividual excellence in the player" he
said. "They are we'll understood by
the public, they are thoroughly un-
derstood by the players and the
sporting writer's have grasped their
every detail. Under those circum-
stances there seems to me to be no
good reason for any material change"
The report of the committee on
football fatalities, showing that only
one of the thirteen deaths accredited
to football in the past year was of a
trained college player, was accepted,
but the recommendation of the COM
mittee that it would be discharged
from further consideration was disre-
garded and instead the executive COM
mittee was empowered to consider the
advisability of extending the work OF
the fatalities committee to include
deaths from all forms of sports, in
cluding hunting, canoeing, swimming
baseball and skating, so that dell
mite defense might be made to the
charge that football is a brutal sport

MOTION PICTURES OF EUROPEAN
WAR

The Motion Pictures of the European
War that are to- be exhibited at the
Majestic Theater, beginning Monday,
for three days. are the most remarkable
films that have ever been exhibited in
Harrisburg. They show with elo-
ouence the misery of war, as we'll as
making clear the methods by which
modern warfare is waged. One looks on
while German shells work havoc in the
crowded squares of Antwerp. The ad-
vances and retreats of the Belgians,
the crossing of bridges under heavy ar
tillery fire, the digging of trenches in
the face of a German advance, and the
removal of dying and wounded soldiers
by the Red Cross ambulances are
among the vivid pictures of actual war
fare. The flight of refugees from the
various Belgian villages and from
Antwerp are pitiful evidences Of the
horrible results of the present war

in comedy and song, are just as popu-

some pleasing bits of the Passing Show
of 1914, and all their clever material is
enhanced by the polished personalities
of the players. PapifaX and Panic,

are good for one long, loud laugh, and
