The raps are supposed to be an invoca-

evil spirits which are vexed at the
boast of good fortune or happiness. The
superstition is of German origin and
the three raps originally signfned the
three persons of the Trinity. Father.

Immediately think of Germany. Those
who are better informed will wonder
how much of this trade remains for
Germany, now more than two years
after the wars beginning And also to
what country does it appear dominance
of this branch of commerce will turn.
As yet there is a Tight for 1t. several
nations taking advantage of the op-
portunity afforded by the incapacitated
leader.
The United States was able. last year.
to import from Germany just about
half the usual number of dolls. This
condition not only provided a stimulus
toward larger production for ourselves,
but also because of the absolute stop
page of British imports from Germany
and the London WHOLESALERS men. there
fore, dispatching their buyers to Ameri-
can shores, competition for Englands
trade at once developed between the
United States and her neighbor to the
north.
Before any one maker could get his
plans laid for this surplus in trade,
both countries were utterly secured
for certain classes Of dolls, toys and
games. 1t was metal goods the Lon
doners wanted, the sort of thing which
English children had been used to
having come down the chimney from
Nuremburg. There was success in
some cases, and quite the reverse In
others.
Uncle Sam had been making mechani-
cal novelties for some time, and ac-
cordngly had better start in the
freshly stimulated industry. But John
Bulls America had been pondering
long and deeply upon some plan where
by her returned disabled soldiers might
nnd something to do. and what at first
was a mere project organized by
group of patriotic Canadian women in
Winnipeg bids fair now to become
permanent industry.
Canada, too, wanted metal toys
wanted them for herself as well as
England. The duty of 80 per cent. with
q fraction more than per cent added
for war tax, on the American made
Dominion. was another stimulating
feature
The English buyers went home and
reported conditions, and Liverpool
eprang up at once to become an i'm
po-rnrt center OF the manufacture of
mechanical toys. The Association of
Toy Manufacturers and Wholesalers
was formed. and there was imm mediately
local competition between these new
factories and the older ones, which for
some years previous had been making
wooden toys and had increased their
output very largely since the begin
ming of the abnormal conditions in
Germany
The English buyers went home and
started things, the Canadians started
things and the United states developed
to a much greater degree what had al
ready been started: with the result that
commerce was much benefited. 1mpor-
tations and expectations increased
among the countries usually drawing
their main supply of toys from the
kaiser's people.
