Doe-Kid Coats Raise a Storm of Protest
BERLIN, (AP)—Doe-kid coats, advertised by several firms as the latest thing in women's fashions, have stirred up a hornet's nest.

Parliamentarians, hunters, sportsmen and numerous nature lovers have joined in protest against "such a gross nuisance, condemning young deer only a few weeks old to brutal slaughter to satisfy the passing whim of certain women."

It is alleged that if the fad becomes popular it will menace all German game preserves, for the conservation of which so much is being done, since it will mean the "wholesale butchery and ultimate extinction of all young deer."

Inspired by the German Association for the Preservation of Game and the German Chamber of Huntsmen, all parties of the reichstag, with the exception of the communists, passed a resolution demanding "that the reichstag adopt measures prohibiting the manufacture, advertising and sale of all articles of wearing apparel made of doe-kid skins in all the German federated states."
