MILITARY TOYS ARE
 MUCH IN EVIDENCE;
 NOT MADE IN GERMANY

Perhaps the most striking thing about the present day Christmas shopping is tho absence on all the toys of the little caption Made in Germany" that was so much in evi- dence Tn before the war days. Most of the toys that are used now in the United States are made here.
 The late war. of course. is re tlected somewhat in the toys that are the most popular as the pomp and glory of war always appeals to the boyish mind So military toys occupy considerable space in the shop windows this year.
 Already there is a hurrying and scurrying of shoppers who are look ing over the various stocks while they are complete and many sales have already been made. As ever, this year the one shopping early is the one who will get the better selec. tions and the better bargains.

the future policy toward railroads,
was subjected to ire OF questions py
Senators Cummlns of Iowa and hel-

ed to develop why Mr.. McAdoo be-
lieves it advisable to turn back the

as possible if congress does not eX-
tend the period of federal control for
i've years.
Both senators argued by implication
for retention by the government OF
the railroads for the full Il months

lzed by the existing law, and IeS-sla-
ton meanwhile by congress to provide
q permanent solution of the railroad
problem.
Mr McAdoo gave three reasons why

That railroad companies already are
