Baby Doll Not NeU
Intention by Some
800 Years or More
Creations Interesting Children
From Earliest History Re
lated By Doll Man.

II you were a doll would you prefer to
be 4 Red Cross nurse or a japanese lady
with q geneology several hundred years
old1
Perhaps you would rather take your
choice between an Egyptian relic and a
colonial dame. Anyway, you can have
your choice, according to ]. c. Rubens
OF New York City, who made an address
at the John Heron Art Institute yester-
day on Five Thousand Years Of Dolls"
Mr. Rubens. who illustrated his talk
with colOred slides, traced the history Of
dolly from her earliest known recollec-
lions in Egypt through all the races OF
the world down TO the modern lady doll
who talks and walks just Ike a real
live" person. In his talk Mr.. Rubens
pointed out that the children. meaning
girls, had always desired dolls as near
like human beings as they knew them TO
be, resenting anything which was not
this reproduction. He showed slides Of
ancient dolls taken from the tombs OF
children who lived some i've thousand
years ago.
One OF the striking "dollies" had one
half Of its head shaved with hair on the
other in Imitation OF the children OF that
era. There were ceremonial dolls who
were thrown into the river by children
who committed some childish act Of
naughtiness. There were Egyptian dolls
minus a leg or an arm. because the
mothers were superstitiOus that perfect
reproduction OF a human being would
bring bad luck. For the same reason
some dolls had no heads. Then, there
was a bone doll made 800 B. g.
According to Mr.. Rubens. the man
that thought he was entirely original
when he invented the famous baby dolr'
missed his guess; for the same doll, in
a crude form. plus all the curves, was
made more than 800 years ago.
Talking about high-clas dolls, the
graceful artistic poses OF the dolls OF
Siam, modelled after the high bred court
ladies. was something wonderful to be-
hold. In more recent times there were
costumed dolls continuing into the late
eighties
Mr. Rubens disillusioned the popular
idea OF an Indian doll, by saying that
they are made Of clay or mud, not OF
buckskin trimmed with brilliant beads.
He also showed slides OF the old
Fashioned corn husk dolls OF the English
harvest time, Welsh dolls, Turkish dolls,
Chinese and Japanese dolls, each dressed
to represent the garbs OF the people OF
those countries
Mr.. Rubens said that the English word
"doll' is derived from q Scotch root
from which comes the name Dorothy,
which Is very popular name among the
Scotch.
He advocated circulating museums Of
dolls for children Is an educational fea-
ture pointing out the success they have
met with in a number Of eastern cities.
THE little girls will learn how to
make them clothes; they will be taught
order and win become interested IN his
tory through them" said Mr.. Rubens.

To Halt Onslaught of the Reds

By r. J. Kelly

Pat Moran's champion Reds cele-
brated their departure from the wilds
Of Flatbush yesterday afternoon by TAX
ing another fall out of the Dodgers,
thereby making 1t three out of four in
the series at Ebbetts Field The score
was 10 to 5. The victory again sent the
Westerners into the lead in the see-saw
pennant chase and the Brooklynites are
now back in second place, just a half
game ahead Of the flying Cardinals.
Dutch" Reuther. the Reds sterling
southpaw, was not forced TO extend
himself to gain the decision. His mates
gave him lead Of eight runs in the
first four innings and he breezed
through TO an easy victory. He was
hit rather freely in three sessions, but
tIgntened up whenever the opposition
became threatening.
Big JEFF Pfefver received warm re-
ception at the very outset. when the
invaders rolled up three runs in the
hrst inning on two infeld hits, an in
field out, base on balls. Groh's single
TO center and Duncan's triple to deer
left field.
Pfefer finally was driven TO cover
in the fourth, when the first two bat
ters hit safely. Three other Brooklyn
twirlers made their appearance in the
box during the course Of the afternoon
These were Clarence Mitchell, who lin.
gered lesB than an inning, George Mo.
hart and Jack Miljus.

Again Mays was unable to find the
plate and another run was forced in.
Smith struck out, then Gardner shot a
double to center and cleared the bases.
That ended Mays.
Nunamaker who is affectionately
known as Stonehead in this vicinity

fourth: He got no further though
The Yanks picked up two in the fifth
Pratt singled to center and got to

fered considerably in the Cleveland
half Of the fifth.
Chapman Hits Triple
Chapman, the first up, cracked
the ball to deep center for triple.
Speaker poked hit to right and scored
a hit to Pratt and sent Speaker to
third. With Wambsganss out, Collins
passed johnson purposely. Nunamaker
drew base on balls and forced in an
other rum
The Indians accumulated one more

bounced a double against the right
tleld wall, and took third when Collins
let loose a very wild pitch. Speaker
singled to right and brought Jameson
home.
In the seventh the Indians packed
the bags with nobody out. Wambs-
ganss drew base on balls and John
son was safe on Pratts tumble of a
toss. by Peckinpaugh. Wambsganss
was trapped OFF third on a quick throw
by Hannah, but Bagby walked and
filled the bases again. Jameson lifted
a long fly to Bodie and Johnson
scored
When the Infant struck out in the
eighth Miller Higgins seemed to con-
ccde that it was a very off day for
Murderers' Row. Bob McGraw, the ex-
doughboy, went into the box, with Hoff
man as catcher and \ Gleich went tc
center field. With one out McGrau
passed Smith and Gardiner. Wambs-
