THE EVENING T0Y INDUSTRY SEEN AS FACING NEW ERA Manufacturers, in Conven- tion, Claim Children Want Models of Adult Life. BY LEMUEL F. PARTON. @pecial Dispateh to The Star. NEW YORK, December 2.—Contend- ing that doll-making is an finfant in- dustry if anything is, some of the @slegates to the toymakers' convention here want to get Congress to shove up the tariff on toys. However, as the present tariff stands at 78 per cent and German-Czechoslovakian competi- tion is decreasing, most of the dele- gates are content to let it go at that. This is the annual convention of the Toymakers of the United States of America. The toymaker of Nurem- berg, with his snuff box and his game Jeg, would be a rank outsider at this convention. This is a crowd of go- Retters, who used no toy cash regis ters in ringing up the $200,000,000 which the industry turned in this year. Fantastic Age Passed. The convention to a man is agreed that, so far as America is concerned, the age of fantasy has passed. The sophisticated juvenile world has taken a decidedly agnostic attitude toward everything make-believe. This year's toys consist of literal copies of almost everything in the adult world—barring hip-flasks and machine guns. Exports of American wheeled toys are steadily increasing. Also toys which are miniature machines. “This is a_machine age,” said H. C. White of Bennington, Vt., president of the association. “It is natural that the children should want toys which re- create adult life in miniature.” The main activity of the convention today is considering an appropriation to make a “second Christmas” out of “Children’s Day,” which has been set for the third Saturday in June—every year. Biggest Air-Toy Year. There are about 200 delegates here, representing about 500 toymakers in all parts of the country. Delegates say that this is the biggest year in history for airplane toys, and that next year will be bigger—thanks to Col. Lind- bergh, Comdr. Byrd, Ruth Elder and a few others. They find the demand for military toys falling off, but offer no explanation. The doll market, they say, is glutted, and there has been much earnest discussion regarding limitation in this field. New York is the center of the doll- making industry; wooden toys are turned out mainly in New England! and Michigan, and iron toys, particu-| larly the wheeled toys, are made all through Ohio and Pennsylvania.

A bill proposing a joint reunion in the Capital in 1928 of veterans of both the Northern and Southern armies of the Civil War has been drafted by Representative Howard, Democrat, Nebraska, for introduction as soon as Congress convenes. The measure would create a commis- sion composed of the chief of the Army general staff, the governors of the sev- eral States apd “such other persons™ u‘ the President may . desire to ap- point. Expenses of the reunion would be borne by the Federal Government. Mr. Howard sald that Senator Norris, Re- publican, Nebraska, would sponsor a similar measure in that body. EISEMAN’S 7th & F Sts.

Burton Holmes described and pic- tured “More Days and Some Nights in Paris” at the National Theater yes- terday afternoon. Through a contin- uation of his previous revue, which had seemed to portray every high light of the Krencn capital, the added scenes and customs in_filustration of how Paris lives by day and some phases of its night life, revealed a wealth of novelty with which the tour- ist seldom comes in touch. With an opening view of “the river that flows | through Paris” and which is identified intimately with fts history and ro- mance, there is a motion cruise down the Seine, passing under its famous bridges—'‘seven miles of Parisian pan orama, viewed in about four minutes.” It is followed by breakfast—chocolate and buns—on the sidewalk of the “center of the world, with a glimpse of passing boulevardiers of today and of 20 years ago. More “amazing perspectives of Notre Dame,” a trip to the busy Bourse, and a startling luncheon in which jar and whipped cream feature a repast which seemed better to see than to share. There are ancient churches to look at and towers and domes to climb, a pathetic glimpse of a street where “‘unknown genius markets its crusts on canvas.” Then for the green mysteries of the Cabaret du Neante, the interior of the Cafe of Death, other night clubs and cabarets and “a crash- ing of the gates” of the Quat's Arts Ball, where dancing continued until dawn. An early morning market was pic- tured in a motion panorama, with a clean-up system which seemed too ef- ficient to be true. After that there is a visit to the Academie Julian, with the life class at work, and to the heart of the new Latin quarter when *“the moon silvers the surface of the Seine and is eclipsed by Our Lady of Paris.” Other motion pic- tures portray a “procession of the Spring fete in the Champ-Elyss riders in the Bois de Boulogne, a to Auteuil on the day of the grand steeplechase of Paris, where the lec turer has a chat with Berry Wall, New York's arbiter of fashion in days gone by—and for a closing tour, a visit to Fontainbleau, with its rem- iniscences of Napoleon, its vast rooms of royal splendor and discomforts converted into museums of a past that is gone forever. And, as a last climax, the playing of hte great fountains of Versailles.
