STOP MAKING SOLDIERS NUREMBERG, Nov. 17, (AP) The little tin soldier for this year's Christmas in Germany has given way to acrobats, black and white mechanical dolls, .various kinds of toy radio sets, and miniature housekeeping outfits with kitch ens, dining room, living room, bed room, parlor and bath complete., What few soldiers one sees are made of wood, owing to the high cost of metal. Although their un iforms of paint are just as bright as ever, and the officers and sol diers just as stiff and pretentious looking as it is possible for the woodcarver to make them, the fighters and their equipment of side arms, cannon and swords are not as popular by any means as they were prior to 1914. One of the season's novelties is a colored boy, made for export chiefly to the United States, which plays a mouth organ when one squeezes his body. ' There has been an unusual call for mouth organs, especially from America, dealers say, and. German manufacturers worked overtime last summer to supply the de mand. Th, C" " fi't k . '.- . . .
