JUVENILE GAMES OF WAR
OUT OF DATE-WHAT NEXT?
Boys 4bdndon Play Trenches, Girls Their Nursing Go,vns.
And Peacemaking Has No Appeal

Chldrcn's games based on warfare
have lost their hold on the imagination
Of youngsters in this city and they arc
now restlessly seeking substitutes.
Every ono recalls, when the world
war was at ITS height, how little squads
and companies of boys fought mock bat =
ties and struggled for shallow pits that
served as trenches.
Even the girls had the war fever.
They played at being nurses and bound
hundreds Of make believe wounds-when
the boys would let them. Some of the
girls initiated the Amazons without ever
having heard of them and routed more
than one group of their boy playmates.
But the war spirit is dead among
this city's juveniles now. Out in sub
urban sections can be seen the remains
of abandoned trenches" and breast
works, but the youngsters pass them
by with never a book.
What will the children take up next,
aside from the ordinary games of top
spinning, kite flying, bean. bag, lay
low, sheepie,' and hop scotch and other
old timers?
OF course. school time is near and
that will take up much of the energy
of the youngsters. But not that much
that they won't spend time devising new
ways to amuse themselves.
In crowded sections, where the set
tlemcnt houses gather in hundreds OF
boys and girls who know only bricked
sidewalks and cobbled streets, mum
ber of excellent games are taught. In
some cases the childish instinct for the
dramatic is appealed to with little plays

The Castle on the Hill


Doggy had spent long hour at her
piano practice. Now, after a short
rest, she was amusing herself trying
to play tinkling tune she had heard
ground out by a passing hand organ
man the day before.
As she played suddenly she became
aware of the fact that some one was
dancing to her music, keeping time
with an odd little shuttle. Glancing up
quickly, she saw peculiar doll like
creature bobbing about on top of the
piano At first 1t looked like one of
her own doll family. The clothes were
certainly from her dolls trunk, but the
creature wearing them was a stranger.
Its back was turned to her, but i.
wasn't shaped like any of her dolls,
and the ears that stuck from beneath
the toy hat were fuzzy and not smooth
like doll ears.
Peggy's music ended with crash
At that the creature whirled around
and faced her. 1t was Rollo, the wan :
dering monkey, who had helped Peggy
and Billy get back Mrs. Hollis dia :

IF YOU were a ship captain you
L would never think of starting a voy-
age without having a definite port to go
were going, you would steer the ship
in the right direction by the aid of the
compass.
| Pick out a hundred small retail store
proprietors at random and you will find
95 per cent of them with no objective
at all.
| Ask them what they are planning to
do this next year and they'll look blank
and say: DO? Why, / don't know
what you mean. I hope to do better
than last year of course, if that's what
you mean
| Ask them to tell you how much profit
they plan to make in every department
of the business. They don't know. Ask
them which department shows most
profit. They think this or that may
be it. Ask them from what territory
they plan to draw the most business.
They'll tell you: From as large a
territory as we can. of course Ask
them how much is their per customer
sales. They haven't any idea.
The average retail merchant has no
definite objective. In general kind of
way he tries to do as much trade as he
can-that's all.
No business is progressing along
sound. constructive lines unless it has
definite aim in regard to sales, profits,
turnover, policy, markets and such like.
Without this it is merely drifting on
the sea of commerce.
After having a definite aim. the COM
pass of n business must be watched to
see whether development is in the right
direction. And the compass Of n bust
ness is its bookkeeping records.
The accounting records must be
studied. not as a set of figures which
show the profit. loss. total sales, cash
on hand. etc, at stated time, but in
comparison with previous figures.
