For ChiIdren's Use.

For children's use there have appear
ed some very unusual pitchers. One is
a huge duckling in natural colors, with
his big yellow bill wide open to form
the mouth of the pitcher, while a wind
blown feather on his back just above
the tail forms the handle. The pitcher
is filled through an opening at the back
of the neck, and the base on which his
yellow webbed feet are planted is a
bit of sandy soil with grasses growing
up around his legs, just as he is often
seen standing near the duck pond.

There is nothing new In stating that
the industry that gauges the country's

1t has always been an important factor

is. If possible. more significant than
ever. Take the restoration of the COM
mon shares of the United States Steel
Corporation to a : per cent dividend
basis. or the maximum rate paid before
the outbreak of the war.
At the corresponding meeting of the
Steel directors a year ago the dividend,
which had been cut to a per cent

Of the corporation were 1857. 600 Las,
