FOREIGN TOYS GLUT
AMERICAN MARKET
Manufacturers Seek II g b
Rates to Exclude German
and Japanese Product.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Amer-
lean manufacturers Of toys and
dolls asked the senate finance COM
Hlittee Saturday not only for pro-
lection against German and Japan
csc competition, but also for the
exclusion OF these articles which are
the product Of child labor. Specific
ally they asked for a duty Of 80 per
cent of the value of the toys and
dolls based on the prices prevailing
in the American market. Spokes-
men for the manufacturers piled
high the committee table with toys
ranging all the way from the wood

had revolutionized the industry by

FARLEY IS MAKING
HISTORY OF WORLD
Bryan Halls Conference Sue
cess as Epoch in Progress
of Nations.
BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
Copyright, 1921, by United Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-It is a
the worlds history-that the arms
conference has spent in working out
a solution OF the peace problem.
1t is hard TO realize that only a
month ago the world was startled
by the proposed scrapping OF half
the battleship tonnage OF the leading
nations. It took a while for the peo-
pie TO grasp the situation but in a
weeks time the nations settled down
10 the new program and began to
suspend work in the ship yards.
Then followed Brands statement
of Frances position. which seemed
to halt progress in the direction Of
land disarmament. This is the only
thing that has been disappointing
during the entire conference.
Those on the inside may be matur-
ing a plan for dealing with the mill
tary establishments OF the world, but
the general public is in doubt 1t is
even intimated that the subject will
be turned over to the next conference
without any action being taken. II

Why Not Ask Germany?
France charges Germany with
contemplating another war and on
that ground justifies herself in keep
ing a considerable army ready to
repel invasion. is it not possible TO
put the question directly TO Ger
many? a negative reply accompan-
led by willingness to join the other
nations in any guarantees deemed
essential 10 peace would enable the
conference to so ahead and provide
for land reduction in line with the
naval reduction.
Why the delay?
But while the reduction OF land
forces is at a standstiI the confer
ence has been making splendid head
way in ironing out the problems OF
the Far East China's demands have
received consideration and a number
OF conclusions have been reached
which improve the relations be

THE TORTOISE
SHELL

A TORTSISE shell is harder and
more brittle than ordinary
horn. Heat and pressure are
practically the only means which
can be employed in working 1t.
and 1t is impossible to work tor
toise shell at a great heat, since,
the coloring pigment easily liquefies
and obscures the shell, thereby
greatly lessening its value. Heavy
pressure is also impossible owing to
it's brittle character. The plates
of carapace, or black shell, are
first separated from the skeleton
by the application of gentle heat,
and then flattened by similar
process. The superficial irregulari.
ties are next rasped off, and the
material is polished ready for mold
ing into any desired shape. Larger
or thicker plates are produced ny
a process which requires great care
and attention. Two surfaces are
first rasped and cleaned, and are
gently heated and pressed together.
The heat liquefies them, making an
invisible joint. Tortoise shell combs
are cut by the highly ingenious
winning machine, so-called: two
combs arc cut from the same plate,
so that the teeth OF one dovetail
into the spaces Of the other. ....
