TOY BALLOONS BANNED IN BERLIN RESTAURANTS “Cupld’s Darts” Take Place of Toys Formerly Given to Patrons. Correspondence of the Assoclated Press BERLIN.—Toy balloons have been forbidden in Berlin cabarets, dance halls and other places of amusement. The reason is to be found in another “favor” distributed in these night life emporia—the “Cupid's dart.” ‘The “Cupld’s dart” is a diminutive ar- row of paper mache which is olown through a bean blower. Together with the blowing rod it is distributed to guests of night life establishments. and { many a merry battle is fought. The more beautiful the face of a flapper, the more numerous are the “Cupld’s darts” hurled at her oy admiring males. So long as the toy balloons were aiso a part of the fun. explosions were ‘re- quent, as the darts often plerced the balloons. On a number of occasions people were hurt. while on others a panic ensued when nervous habitues mistook the explosions for shots. —_—— | When 47 degrees of frost were regis- | tered recently.
