Ancient Romans Had Dolls.

There is a pretty legend to the ef-
fec! that dolls were first recognized
in the branches of the trees of the
Garden of Eden. The earliest au-
,hentic records, however, seem to
go back to the days of the Romans,
when they made quaint, sphinx-like,
jointed dolls from ivory-patterns
which modern dollmakers have since
copied.
That the Roman children had their
dolls which they offered up to
Venus when they grew older, was
vouched Tor on one occasion by the
historian Macaulay
There is ample evidence that the
use Of dolls as an assistance to the
operations of the young mind dates
from the most remote times. Among
the native tribes of Africa it was the
custom OF married women to carry
doll with them until they had a
child, when the doll was discarded
Kings were wont to play with
dolls, and talking and walking dolls,
which even today are regarded as
novelties, date back a century, At a
French exhibition held in 1928 dolls

FARE DECISION
Mayor Says Officials Have Done
ALI in Their Power in Fighing
Increased Rate.

News of a 7-cent street car fare
effective tomorrow was received
with much dissatisfaction this
morning by Rock Island city offic-
ials.
Mayor H. M. Schriver expressed
surprise at the fare being set at z
cents. He had expected that 6 cents
would be the limit, he said
However, the officials believe
that the fight is only temporarily
over. Reviewing the situation, the
mayor and city attorney announced
that they had done all in their
power to hold the scent rate in ef-
feet and that nothing more could be
done at the present
The officials consider that they
are not given proper authority in
handling the local situation A gen.
eraI protest against the so-called
"autocratic power" of the public
utilities commission has been voic-
ed. Home rule is still favored by
the officials, and may again be ad-
Vocated at any time.
Now, the present rates will be
held in effect as long as the COM
pany can prove that a 7-cent fare Is
necessary to provide a z per cent
authorized profit upon invest
ments. The company is supposed tc
make reports to the utility commits
sion as to returns, with a view to

enlightening the commission on
whether or not the charges shall
be permanently held in effect.
To Investigate Decision
No further action by the city Of
f1cials in fighting the fare is expect
ed until a copy of the decision is
received. When the papers are re-
ceived, the mayor will then ex-
anime them in order to ascertain
just how the company has succeed
ed in proving to the commission
that a 7-cent fare was necessary to
meet increased wages of employees
in Rock Island.
Satisfaction was expressed this
morning by the mayor that the
company had at least agreed to i'm
prove its paving on Second avenue
and to furnish tripper service on
the Watch Tower, Long View and
Elm Street lines. John G. Huntoon,
vice president and general manager
of the Tri-City Railway company,
informed the mayor this morning
that he would have the matter OF
improving conditions in Rock Is
land Immediately looked after.
