 which are of an equally Fundamental na- tnre. Sometimes a deserving man doesn't

 Sometimes man doesn't find the right job because he cannot afford to walt f5t it. Seasonal 1uctuation in industry fre- quently throws capable people out of ein- ployment and forces them Into work Tor which they are less fitted, but in which they are often by economic necessity com. pelled to stay. The cure for this Is a more complete industrial organization. thoroughly organized industry by regis tering all of its members, by insuring l them against temporary unemployment l through funds to which employer and em- | ploye contribute equally. and by schei- l lling ork so as to make the years en- as-nearly y5continuous as possi- |

 What becomes Of the toys of other days--of the pretty dolls and wonderful engines that the little folks played with year or two years ago?
 And of the story books that were read so eagerly while new and the games that once attracted the eager, youthful crowds what has become of all these?
 Stored in garrets, packed away in cor ners, where they are seldom disturbed, are doubtless to be found hundreds of such toys and games and dolls and story books. And what Is to become of all of them.
 Somewhere in this big city there will be many boys and girls whom Santa Cleus will not have time to visit when he makes that wonderful trip of his on Christmas eve, and for such as these there will be no toys, no games, no dolls and none of those wonderful story books that fire the youthful imaginations with deeds Of ohivalry and heroisn or tell of the marvellous doings of the beautiful creatures who peopled the farylands of your youth.

The Smallest nvnamn

From the New York Press
 The smallest electric dynamo in the world was exhibited recently before the trench Academy of Science. So small is tnis dynamo that its base would not occupy all the space on an American penny The instrument is a perfect min isture Of large machine and is a prac- tlcai model in every respect It works With hum that sounds like the buzz of a mosquito It weighs only one-f1fth of an ounce and is six-tenths of an Inch thick The little dynamo can be used not only as generator. but as a motor. consuming, in this latter case, two am psres or electric current at pressure or two and one-half volts.
