Choosing Toys

Did you ever know the kind of
mother who would buy her child a
nice little noisy tin horn for Christ
mas and then spank the dear little
child before the day was out for
making a racket with it? Such a
mother is first cousin to the mother
who gives her children little favors
Containing various gaudily colored
candies and then slaps their little
hands for eating them.
Really it would be we'll if every
last parent took little more time
in calculating the outcome of the
toys she buys for her children. Now
we all OF US know that the best way
10 keep our children in first health
as the winter advances is to keep
them outdoors as much as possible.
TheJ should have every inducement
to get lots of fresh air exercise. We
know that and yet when we get them
presents we are too apt to get them
paint boxes and crayons, beads and
doll houses. Isn't it really absurd
to get something that is most al
Turing temptation for the child to
stay indoors and then order him out
doors without even ball to play
with? 1t is, to be sure, a good plan
to have a few diversions for a rainy
day, but there should be more di-
versions for outdoor play, because
there are so many more days when
the child can remain outdoors.
Next time you get toy or game
remember this.

Women May Keep Alive
Shirt of Adventure

"Once he was a captain. Now he's
lust an ordinary business man" says
a disconnected wife in the London
Daily Mail. That paper questions
whether women will be satisfied,
after the war, to view in civilian
clothes what was so beauteous III
khaki. Having once been an officers
wife and seen those along the way
bow down before his leather leg
gings, It is a good deal to ask OF
mortal woman that she resume her
status of bookkeeper's consort.
The worst of it is that the husband
is often glad enough to become his
former embarrassing self. Though
he charged as knightlike as any, he
will confess that he never knew
there was so much happiness in a
peaceful ledger. He embraces obliv-
ion. He has had all the war he
wants. He has tracked the glamor
of battle to its burrow, and all he
asks now is to forget the muddy end
of that chase. He has been inocu-
lated for restlessness, and feels that
he will not need another treatment
as long as he lives.
Will the adventurous spirit, then,
be kept alive by women, and since
we are to have no more wars, will
they find some other way of graft
flying their craving which hurried
the worlds manhood to the fields OF
France? War has been, aad when il
goes something must take its place,

What is a Canteen?

This is one of the questions fire.
quently asked. A canteen is glori-
fed lunch wagon, sometimes literal
ly on wheels, more often not, but
always movable, in that it occurs
where needed. When situated in
the camps in this country or abroad
the canteen is not only a lunch wag-
on, but little store where the SOL
der can buy the cigarets. sweets
and other things of different char
acter.
The officers and men of the army
and navy are being moved from
their homes to training camps, and
from camps to embarkation points.
Back and forth across the country
they weave, thousands of American
boys, many leaving home for the
FIRST time, and knowing the wistful-
ness of human loneliness cast
against strange landscapes, out
bound for war.
What can women do for them,
Mhat motherly things that will tell
them how dear they are to us? One
of the answers is-the Red Cross
canteen.
"It's a treat just to know that
somebody cares" wrote boy in an
infantry regiment tn at passed
through Washington, D. c., this
spring. And he wrote that because
as his train pulled into the capital
railway yard his eyes were con-
fronted by a little company of
American women, uniformed in hor-
lion blue, with the Red Cross on
their apron bibs, busily engaged in
pouring out hot coffee and serving
sandwiches that were all the world
like the kind his mother used to
make for church s9cials back in Ke-
okuk. Ia.

the troops. Sometimes the "ra-
ton" is the Red Cross chocolate bar
of sweet and wheat biscuit; some
times it is fruit or smokes. When

graphed ahead and asked for a meal,
to be paid for by the army but pre-
pared at emergency notice, the can

sandwiches apiece, one of jam and
one of meat, with coffee or soup.

Form Girl Reserves for
"Teen Age" LaSsies

She was just in her teens when
the war began-and she hadn't
grown up big enough to fit uni
form. Her brother was in France,
her father wore the Y. M. c. A.
uniform and her mother donned the
cap and apron of the Red Cross.
while her little brother sported the
Boy Scout khaki. But she was just
"teen age"-and there didn't seem
to be anything for her to do.
Today, she is ready to be one of
the big factors IN the biggest period
of the worlds history-the recon-
struction.
She's the Girl Reserve-the Blue
Triangle girl of the Y. w. C. A.
And here is how she has been grow
ing up:
The activities of the Girl Reserves
are conferred around the four sides
of a girls development: Health,
knowledge, service and spirit. 1t is
building up the teen age" girl of
today to make a woman several
sizes bigger than the woman of the
period before the war.
IF more people had been busy
providing something to do for tie
young girls, heretofore, there would
be less need of policewomen just
now" Miss Mary Gogin says.
