German Toys Not What They Were.

German Toys Not What They Were.
Simplicity is the rule in German toy
shops now, and wood, once formerly
used only for the cheaper toys, Is
now almost the only material en-
ployed. Lack of -four, which is used
with cement to make the bodies, pre-
vents the manufacture of new dolls.
Wax, used for the heads, is almost
unobtainable, and the material for
dresses costs four times as much as
before the war. Toys cost at least
twice as much as formerly, metal toys
are few in number, and some OF the
very cheap varieties cannot be had at
all. The metal that formerly went
into the making of trains, horses, SOL
diers, magic lanterns, etc, has been
taken by the government for the man
ufacture of munitions.
