Oueerest Dolls In the World.

The dollies played with by little Mo

They are not allowed any features and

Southern India" recalls the reason for
this deficiency. The Moslems believe
that any human figure that is made by

and will reproach its maker for having
brought it into existence without hav-
ing the power to endow it with human
and spiritual privileges. One feels that
the prophet might have compromised
little when il came TO dolls. especially
In view OF what was later TO happen.
When British ropes were first cir
culated IN India the figure Of the SOW

trust Fortunately for the peace of the
merchant the eye was so small as TO
be almost invisible. Through this loop
hole the followers OF the prophet found
a way of escape from the difficulty. de-

the custom houses in the district, tn
Virginia customs district of which
Norfolk is the headquarters. was Sec
ond in he United States in total
value of exports during the week end
ing last Saturday. The Official fig
ures showing the values of the ex-
ports shipped through the various Gus
toms districts have just been COM
pleted and made public by the De-
partment of Commerce in Washing
ton.
As usual, the New York customs

The Detroit district was third with
exports valued at 1925. 900, accord :

ly in view OF the heavy shipments
now being made through the ports of
Norfolk and Newport News. the value
of Virginia exports for year would
be about s175. 100000

The Italian government. which Is
purchasing in the United States prac-
tically all of the coal used by her
navy and railroads, is taking the ma
jor portion of It from Norfolk. Evil
dence OF the increased coal business
from Norfolk can be had from the
fact, that yesterday. considered a duh
day compared to others recently, a
total of 1888 tons of cargo coal were
exported through the local customs
house
