The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1921-07-09

t. OMETIME ago Joseph PETE. of
- Rochester. New York, sent me q
n drawing of a toy he had picked
. up some years ago when he was
making a trip through Europe. This
young man has been reading these
columns for sometime and thought all
the other people who read them would
be interested in the toy in question.

ing the body of the bear and while
this treatment would add a great deal
of interest to it, the straight figure
may be used just as well. 1t is the
latter that is being used in the accom-
panying drawing.

the operation. which is similar to that
used in the Fighting Bull Dogs toy.

REDUCED PRICES BRINGS
NEW ERA OF BUSINESS
TO AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

Clarence A. Earl, President of Bris-
coe Motor Corporation, sees a new
era of sustained business for the au-
tomobile industry, now that prices
have been stabilized.
The industry has again demon
strated how mobile it is with its re-
Spouse to economic laws" said Mr..
Earl In the days of advancing
prices the automobile manufacturers
did everything possible to keep costs
down. The percentage of increase
was less than any othor industry
Basic materials and labors were al a
premium and prices went up because
costs were rising. and the two are
twin brothers."
"The automobile manufactures has
kept his record clean of profteering
as demonstrated by the steady bust
ness enjoyed by progressive makers
during the spring, and early summer.
Now that practically the entire indus
try is unanimous for reduced prices,
the advance to better times will be
led as usual by the motor car"

BIRD LOVERS WIN VICTORY
In ENGLAND BY STOPPING
IMPORTATION OF FEATHERS

London, July 1S.-Bird lovers have
won victory by the final passing of
the Plumage Bill, which prohibits the
importation into the United Kingdom
OF the feathers of any birds except
those of the African ostrich and the
elder duck.
The bill is mainly designed to pre-
vent cruelty in securing the feathers
of such ornamental birds as ospfeys
and birds of paradise.
The prohibition regarding importa.
