American-Made Toys First

Royal Dixon, in the Mothers Magazine
 Toys made entirely by machinery are now manufactured in America more cheaply and more perfectly than has ever been done in any country in the world before. More than 150 toy fac tories here are now turning out immense volumes of the best and most desirable goods in the world. In fact, the toys made In Germany and other parts of Eu- rope were crude and misshapen com pared to those turned out from American machinery of the most modern type and invention.
 Since the control of the industry has passed to home interests the greatest ad- vance has been made in the practical use of toys in the early instruction of the child. In the premediated plan of teach ing children by model and design the facts of history and literature, whicn usually are learned at a much later date, American toy makers were the first to realize the immense possibilities of toys.
 Among American devices for training the child and developing the trend of his talents early may be found everything in the way of building, painting, drawing, ernbroidering, sewing, cutting, learning to read, learning geography by maps and flags-from the simplest beginnings to the most intricate construction of which the child Is capable. There are engi- neering sets invaluable to the child who loves. to build bridges, skyscrapers, dams, viaducts and other miniature works There are blocks and construc- tion sets; to horses and wagons; all kinds of woodcraft toys and games; ju- venile furniture sets; Boy Scout machine guns: skatemobiles; scudder cars; go-

durable? If a woman is hard at work, she is not morbid. and the American women, formed into huge battalions of intelligent endeavor, will probably feel certain strain of happiness during this next winter that they have never before felt in their narrowed and lim ited lives.
 In addition to those who work for pleasure. there are literally thousands who are going to labor for money for the first time in their lives. Release the men" is the cry of the day. Hire the women,' is the cry that comes aft CT. And already these two slogans have proved so successful in the battle of this country for commercial suprem acy that the men are beginning to grumble because they fear they will not get back their places when the war Is over.
 It seems as though there is no oc- cupation in which women cannot equal men as soon as the responsibility is put upon them. They're leaping at their chances like young lion cubs toward pieces of meat held before their noses.

swered the command. His cry has be- come the trumpet call to the women of the country, and there is no use wasting time predicting that they will go back to their own level when this war is over.
 When the intelligence is awakened as it has been. there is no narcotic of wealth and security that can deaden 1t again. The situation must be looked at in the light of great historic event. It will be regarded as one of the supreme movements in the upward path of women in mass.
 THE CLOTHES WE NEED
 There is no use preaching to women to be morbid about clothes, and there IS no use telling these women of awakened intelligence that they must wear old and shabby things, because they are beginning to understand that this is not the way to make a nation prosperous Ten years ago that slogan might have appealed to silly argument.
 The standardization of clothes Is an- other bit of childish talk, verbal pap, as it were, given to children who have grown to be thinking beings.
 If 10000 women decided upon coat and skirt for everyday wear this winter as a uniform. the price of that suit would be raised far beyond the present price of any costume. So there's no economy in that
 In such suit, 10 women will look well and 1090 will look their worst. So that's an argument that might work as leaven against the other.
 No one will deny that there should be new outlook in clothes. The dress makers foresaw this situation, and they have prepared for it. France had glim- mering of 1t, but she was not quite aware of the strength of the movement She still believes that America is the land of birds of paradise. She only thinks of us in terms of Aladdin-like wealth and wearing the clothes of old Bagdad.

 France has made violent effort for for America, and she has succeeded. The cables report that box full of tricks has been developed.
 The main point Is the elimination of waste material in all garments. There fore the silhouette must be as slim as though it had a lead pencil as it's model.
 There is strong effort made to bring into fashion the half low evening gown, such as the European women have been wearing for three years. This Is not universally becoming to the Anglo-Saxon, and it is probable that the American eve hing gowns with their old and deep dec olletage may be still adopted by many.
 No matter what slight fullness there may be at the hipline in certain gowns, there is no division of opinion concern ing the narrowness of the skirt.
 Velour has been insisted upon as the main material for street wear, and there is more black and white satin advocated than the expert foresaw.
 Black panne velvet gowns without any trimming whatever but touch of white crepe at the neck, are offered as exclu- sive things for the afternoon.
 The woman who goes to work every day in some field of activity, may aban- don the coat suit in favor of the one piece frock with an underbodice of georg- cite crepe. and she may depend on a smartly built tailoredttopcoat for protec- ton from the cold.

There is a great dispute on here as
to which unit had the honor of first
bringing in the American flag to camp.
The driver of one big "motor lorry'
is believed to have the honor. He hus.

machine was swung to the dock and
unfurled the flag at the first hut.
The French port has finally recov-
cred from it's astonishment and pleased
surprise ever being selected as the spot
where history was made in the landing
of American forces.
FWe were entirely surprised over
the arrival of the troops,' said a mem
Der Of the chamber of commerce to-
day. "We hurried out at once seek.

Banner in greeting. All of the musi.
clans were hard at work and it was
difficult to round them up. Besides
they hadn t had much time to prae-
tiee. We got all our citizens we could
to meet at the dock in greeting-but
most of our men belong to the army.
We tried to show how we felt in our
hearts-and how all France feels about
these American soldiers"
Port Unprepared
As matter of fact the French port
was totally unprepared to welcome the
Americans. The town went quietly TO
bed one night to awaken the next
morning and see American BIuejackets
nonchalantly strolling about every

ships creeping into the harbor. Then
the soldiers landed, stretched their
legs, had a brief march and at night
re-emblrked again on the transports.
The next morning the real landing took
place. By this time the town had a
chance to get out its American flags
and decorate.

CHARTER
CHANGES DISCUSSED
Small But Interested Audience
Hears Debate at Highland
School House

As is usual just before the Fourth.
much oratory was expended last night
in the joint debate between the propon.
| ents and opponents of the proposed
charter amendments at the Highland
school. The meeting was called to or
der by Rev. H. f. Pemberton, who in.
troduced Col. E. Hofer as the first
speaker Of the evening. Mr.. Hofer be-
gan his talk by referring to the South
Salem sewer controversy of a few wears
ago. He then contended that the paw
ing ON the streets under construction
in the present campaign for the amend
ments was carelessly done, and that
the people had the right, Royal right,
if you please, of kicking.
In defining his position. he stated
that he came as champion of the
cause solely as private citizen, and
denied all statements to the effect that
he had been hired to conduct a cam
paign against the proposed charter
amendments. Taking up the gauntlet
upon the issue that only rich men were
delinquent, he produced list of delin-
quents, which totaled some 600 names,
as he said, and which represented, not
rich men, but men of very moderate and
even Strengthened means.
Comparing the present system of col.
Letting improvement liens with that
proposed by the amendments, he stated
that the system advocated would make
the city collection law in harmony with
the state and county delinquent tax
laws. and therefore, would put burden
of 10 per cent penalty, plus 15 per cent

Petrograd, July 4.-Austrian troops
have bees utterly demoralized by the
ferOcity of the Russian offensive. The
free nation s fighting men seem to
have been suddenly endowed with SUI
per fighting qualities that lead them to
incredible strength in pressing the enc
my steadily backward. And here in Pc
trograd the success of the first often
sive seems suddenly to have welded
together many diverse elements.
The workmen' and soldiers con
gress today express elation at the sue
cess of the fighting and appeald to the
people Tor complete support.
H'The soldiers and Officers, = the res
olution recited, "have been tempered
in the fires of the revolution. They will
throw themselves bodily into the fight.
The workmen and soldiers congress and
the peasants union fraternally greet
the defenders of the revolution, who are
giving their blood for liberty and for
universal peace. The offensive will add
weight to the revolutionary voice which
is appealing to our enemies, to neutrals
and to our allies, and trus hasten the
end of the war.
" We summon the country TO con-
centrate in its efforts to help the army
Let the peasants give the army bread.
Workmen, let the army never fail for
lack of munitions. Citizens, do not
evade your duty. Soldiers and officers
at the rear, do not fail to prepare to go
TO the front. You are the reinforeements
of the nation.
Long life to the revolution and long
live the army"
War department officials today as
serted their reports showed that the
fighting was severe, but that the Rus
sian armies were battling enthusiastic
ally.
A picturesque incident occurred at
the Cossacks' congress, which had as
-sembled to hear speeches from Charles
Edward Russell and James Duncan,
members of the American mission. In
the midst of the meeting word was re-
ceived and read from the platform of
the latest successes achieved by the
fighters. A score or more Cossacks bolt
ed from the hall, jumped on their hors-
es. wildly cheering, spread the news as
they galloped through the city. Later
the chief of the Cossacks invited Rus
sell and Duncan to repeat some of the
remarks they had made to great throngs
which assembled on the streets to cheer
the news.
Minister of War Kerensky was report
ed today to have been in the very cen
ter of the fighting. Major General
Scott, chief Of staff of the United
States army and a member of the Am
erican mission, with some of his staff,
also witnessed some of the gains achiev
ed in the offensive.

Forest Hills, Il. T., July An a
speech that fairly bristled with his old
time fighting language; Theodore Roose
velt warned the United States here to-
day that the hour has come when it
must decide whether it will be a
"polyglot counting house for dollar
chasers' or a separate, glorious ma
tion.''
Before a big crowd at the Forest
Hills gardens Fourth of July celebra-
tion, T. R. hammered the pacifists,
cursed out "pro-Germans and weak
kneed apologists for infamy,'' in his
own inimitable style and strongly urg-
ed that the use of German language
be banned throughout the country in
print and speech.
"We have but one flag" he said.
"Wc should have but one language -
Roosevelt charged that pro-German
propaganda is still a power in the land
and should be wiped out
Incidentally, he condemned those ma
tive born who turn up their noses at
truly loyal Germans and bitterly as
sailed the government for wedding out
loyal Americans of Teuton origin from
American Red Cross units sent to
France.
The colonel also took occasion to
mention that .sin entering the war the
country showed a reluctance passing the
bounds OF ordinary timidity.''

Later on in his address he slipped in
this statement in a sort of oratorical
parenthesis:
"We of America can win to our
great destiny only by service: not by

MILLIONS IN PARIS
CELEBRATE THE DAY
One Great Roar Greeted Gen
eral Pershing and

Paris, July 4.-Paris went wild with
enthusiasm today in acclaiming its
gratitude to America. It's millions
cheered themselves hoarse as battal
ion Of Pershing's bronzed veterans
swung ong in parade, eagerness to
get at the foe appearing in every
snappy step. They cheered again so
thunderously that the whole city
seemed to roar, as they espied General
Pershing himself and their idol "Pa-
pa" Joffre hurrying in an automobile
through the streets.
First IN the program of frances old
time American celebration of the glor-
ious Fourth was the presentation of
flags 10 the American commander,
Major General Pershing, at the Inval-
ides. There the great court was sur
rounded by troops, massed four deep.
The greatest notables of France were
assembled in the center and they, like
the populace and troops themselves,
cheered as the Stars and Stripes were
presented.
Pershing and Joffre then motored
across the city TO the cemetery. The
military review came later; through
streets that blazed with American
flags lad the tri-color of France, and
were lined with cheering throngs.
The five mile march to the cemetery
was frequently interrupted by enthus-
iastic Paris men, women and children
who ran into the street pinning flowers
on the Khaki clad Americans. The en-
thusiasm was unprecedented. The
streets we're literally jammed, the
Americas marching between lanes of

Never has Paris seen such display
of enthusiasm.
