“HOLD up your hands and ery
‘Kamerad,” or I'll shoot!’ cries a
boyish voice, as you approach the house.
Coming down the path you see a minia-
ture armored ‘car, moving rapidly
toward you. The
only occupant, a little
boy in military uni-
form, tries to look his
fiercest as he looks at
you from behind the
formidable machine-
gun which is pointed
threateningly at you.
Perhaps you hesi-
tated a trifle too long
in obeying the com-
mand—the little sol-
dier’s hand gives a
turn to the gun-crank
in front of him and
with a vicious “Ra-ta-
ta-ta” the gun begins
to spit imaginary bullets in your direc-
tion.
The little boy is glowing with excite-
ment and pleasure. He has vanquished
the enemy who refused to surrender and
with a joyful “Hurrah!” he runs his
armored car to the other side of the house
in quest of other enemies.
The armored car shown in the picture
is mounted on a tricycle frame and carries
a big gun in front and a few smaller guns
oa each side. A spring snapping over cogs
produces a noise like that of a machine-
gun, when the crank is turned. Toysof a
martial character are always extremely
popular with boys and the great war,
naturally, has increased the interest of the
kiddies.
