and the like. A great change has
taken place. Last year the tota
value of toys exported from Japan
amounted to s4,200,0O0, and in 1918
wiz exceed $5,OOO,OOc. Thus the
."land of dolls and flowers" as Js-
pan has been so charmingly called,
has been transformed irto coun-
try creating playtlings Of every de-
scription for the children Of foreign
lands, as wei as for it's own.
Urtil the shutting Of the German
supply the toymakers of Nippon
never attempted seriously to enter
foreign markets.
In addition tc common toys Of
earthenware, wood and cotton, the
japanese now fashion them from
rubber, mental and celtuloid. They
are especially apt IN mechanical toys.
Japan is not likely to have any
serious rivals. The toy trade has
been created for Japan by the war.

vehicle for the maiden speech oi

The congressman said the day
light saving law had been passed TN
der the name of war measure. at a
time when everything was being
subordinated to the winning of the
war. He called the law a misnomer
and the" arguments used by the ad,
vocates of the measure originally
were not based on either reason or
fact, experience having proven that
the law does not give any of the
advantages its proponents said ii
would.

cording to Mr.. Mclaughlin, and
petitions from all parts of the coun-

farmers and their families consti-

the 100000 laborers' and their fam
lilies including an additional popula
tion of 50,000000 were almost unani-

"Vicious Speculation
in Pork, Charged by
Relief Administration

New York, June 18.-Conviction
that there is great deal of vicious
speculation in pork products" was
expressed in a statement issued by
the American relief administration
signed by Edgar Rickard, joint di-
rector and Julius Barnes, wheat d.
rector.\
The statement was issued ito
clear misapprehensions in regard to
the control of pork prices by the
food administration and the miscon-
ception that government organiza-
tions are holding large stocks of
food. to the detriment of the con-
sumer.s
The only stocks carried, it con-
tinued, are under the powers granted
by congress to control the 1918
wheat crop.
Speculation in pork products, the
statement said. is indicated by the
fact that the volume of pork prod
ucts in the United States is at the
highest level ever before known at
this period.
