OF course, made the red pencil shorter,

the pencil matter?
Over and over, every day the same

The magazines became full OF red

everything from canoes to garbage

poor little red pencil grew shorter and
shorter, till it was only a tiny stub,
barely sticking above the white case.

SOLDIERS OF TIN

HEARTS WITH JOY
Reflection of War on Toy
Market--No Scarcity in
Supply of Playthings of
All Kinds.

Here's good news for you, boys and
girls
Expensive toys, which have been so
scarce since the war was begun, are now
to be had in abundance. and even IL pes ce
is not declared within five years the
nursery will not suffer to any extent
On your dolls piano. your sled, or that
fine drum that YOU have been using for
many years you have noticed the words
Made in Germany" In fact on al
most all OF your best playthings these
words appear.
But conditions have changed since the
European armies were assembled, and
hereafter on many Of your toys will be
printed in great broad letters Made in
America And, by the way, Philadel-
phia boasts Of the largest toy factory
in the United States.
When commerce between this country
aid the German empire was discontinued
the toy merchants were frantic. Their
business depended almost entirely upon
importations. Toys OF certain kind
were plentiful enough here, but the deli
cate tin playthirss, dolls that make
speeches, and all OF those things which
are typically German were not obtain
able here.
The American toy man is resourceru.
lie decided that, as far as possible, what
can't be had from Germany shall be
made in the United States. Consequently,
many of the factories are now producing
goods that have hitherto been sold only
by German firms.
Perhaps the domestic product won't

be quite as good as the European, or per
haps some foolish children will be disap-
pointed by their failure to see MADE in
Germany" on their playthinss. but the
average American child will be as happy
as ever with his American-made boats,
dolls, guns and games.
To please the exceptional youngster who
won't be content without the foreign
kinds shipp will sail to this country
every week bearing few toys of Euro
pean manufacture. The goods will be
shipped from the German factories to
Holland or Sweden and from the ports
of either of those countries the toys will
be shipped to New York.
So there is no reason to worry about
playthings while the troubles of school
are Just beginning. Santa Claus' chief
assistant the best known toy man In
Philadelphia, said today that of all things
that he has In stock tin soldiers are In
greatest demand
While mothers and fathers are talking
Of the terrible times in Europe, It Is only
natural that the little ones should be
thinking of military matters. AS re-
suit, every boy who is having a birth
day lust now is anxious for set of
soldiers.
They always were favorite among
children, but now they are liked more
than ever. Some make believe soldiers
are made in America and some In Ger
many, and It is hard to tell which brand
is best. The large toy factory IN TINS
city is now making cannons that shoot
rubber balls. They make noise that
Is said to be almost as loud as real guns
Automobiles made entirely of wood
are now on the American market. They
are being sold in large numbers because
whether you kick them or hit them, throw
them in the street or stamp your loot
on them, they won't break. Airships are
as popular as ever

Tommy was very proud of his pen

Il wonder which one will get worn

he counted over the colors carefully
"Red, brown, green, yellow, purple

nice, but somehow red seems to be

Then he hunted up some magazines
SO he could color the pictured adver-

IL think I'll color this picture first"
he said as he found the picture of

pencils over to decide what color it
should be.
"Of course it will be red he said,
after much thought, aud he set TO
