"Say, If you were fighting under a

did at Chipilly ridge in August, when
our outfit was so badly shot up? We
were up there with nothing to eat or

tons to us on his back under the most
terrific fire that ever experienced.
HE did that because he wanted to

sure was to carry it himself. Who

Future for American Toys.

A consistent campaign has been
waged by toy manufacturers to edu-
cate Americans to the proper apprecia-
ton of American toys and things are
going smoothly in the toy industry.
There is no doubt that the American
toy product Is every bit as good as, if
not better than that made in Germany
although it is usually more expensive,
because the price of labor is higher In
this country. American tOymakers have
not yet learned to make bisque dolls
or Christmas tree balls, but most peo-
pie consider that the American dolls
are much more natural and abund-
ant Christmas tree balls may be had
from Japan.
