TOYS FOR GIRLS AND BOYS

TOYS are made larger, more elaborate and
more costly than ever before. Life-slze toy
bears. and toy giraffes as high as their prices
stand beside mechanical toys Of almost incredi-
BILE ingenuity in the toy shops this Christmas
But:
Kindergarten teachers who have made play
their life study say children frequently derive
more pleasure and benefit from simple and IN
expensive toys.
Little girls often prefer tiny doll dishes to
larger ones. It's the same with toys for boys.
The belief that childs liking for toy IN
creases with the toys size is an illusion OF
adults
An automatic toy has only brief interest.
For instance, one that winds up and races IN a
c.cle. A childs greater interest is IN one whose
Dperation he can direct and control.
Elizabeth Harrison, national authority,
says:
''The choice of toys should be based not SO
much on what toy is as on what a child can
do with it.
''The instructive delight in putting their own
thoughts into their playthings, instead OF ac-
repting the thought of the manufacturer, ex-
plains why simple toys are often more pleasing
10 children than expensive ones"
There is no occasion to pity the child who has
pnly simple and inexpensive toys for Christmas.
This child may have all the best OF 1t.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER %, 1920
QUICKER ACTION WILL RESULT

Inauguarte the president on the second Mon
day in December.
That, in a nutshell, is the constitutional
amendment offered in Congress by Representa-
tive Arthur of Oregon.
There's much to be said in favor OF that
proposal!
When the nation was young and scattered
over a wide area Of roadless, railess land It
may have been all right to have the inaugural
tion four months after the election
These, however, are speedier days. One
Jumps across the continent in less than week.
It will not be long before new presidents ar
plane from the Pacific to Washington the day
before Inauguration day.
A month is plenty long enough to give new
president to pack his trunk and write his speech.
What's true of the president is true OF mem
bers of Congress. They, too, should get into
action sooner after their election. The Arthur
amendment is fine, as far as it goes. There
should be tackled onto it, though, provision
that Congress members take their seats the
same day as the president is inaugurated, in
early December.

THE WAR ISN'T OVER FOR THEM

American hospitals are receiving 5000 dis
abled and sick war veterans every month; they
are discharging $500 cured This means a
monthly increasing roll of patients. This is
not, however, the worst to be told. The in
crease is not limited by need of hospital treat
ment; it is kept down solely and entirely by
lack of hospital facilities.
The United States is treating the heroes of
the war much as the proverbial S'poor relation
was treated. The nation is neglecting the very
men who, when the nation was in sore need,
gave no thought to their own lives and COM
fort. It is little wonder that the national com
mander of the American Legion should COM
plain:
Disabled veterans are not getting what they
deserve from grateful nation"
The nation was grateful, all right, back in
the war days, when the foe threatened The
nation was grateful indeed when the flower
of American manhood rose I'D in arms and
went forth to give battle. The nation prom
ised much to the boys who fought "Over
There" And this is the nation that sang so
loudly and often:
when you come back"
Well, they came back, many Of them Ill and
disabled. About half million of those brave
boys were discharged from service with dis
ability" Yes, they came back! But it seems
that the nation has forgotten that they came
back has forgotten the fine promises that were
made upon the eve of battle The nation has
Forgotten it's solemn duty
THE war is over" Those four words you
have heard often since November II, 1918. The
war is over" declared politicians in Congress
as they voted away wartime legislation.
The war is not over
For those veterans discharged with dis
ability"
The war will not be over for them for many
years to come.
And until the war is over with them. with
the last one of them, it cannot be entirely over
for the rest of u.s. That much of the war which
has to do with giving these sick and manned
veterans square deal can never be over until
the last of them has passed on into the here

who sold the car were to return later
for the remainder of the money but

$500. Albert Brankow is out some

by the police was stolen in Kenosha
and with the exception of the one
car - a big Hudson = they appear
to have been taken from Chicago. The

Seven automobiles alleged to have
been part of the loot of carefully
organized gang of automobiles thieves
working out of central headquarters
in Chicago have been recovered in Ke-
nosha and the police here after weeks
Of work are said to have believed that
they have reached the end of the re-
coveries to be made in Kenosha and
efforts are now being made to find
other automobiles alleged to have been
taken by the gang which were sold
in Milwaukee. Automobiles valued at
more than twenty thousand dollars
have been recovered by the Chicago
and Kenosha police officers. The seven
automobiles recovered in Kenosha are
valued at more than $4,000. The au-
tomobiles had been sold to Edward
Harmer, Albert Brankow, frankie Con-
ley, W. Lencioni, C. Chamberlain and
Fritz Rudy.
"These men are not sought for any
crime in connection with the purchase
of these automobiles" declared Chief
O'Eare this morning and all the facts
that we have been able to secure in
dictate that these men have been VIC
timized by this band of automobiles
thieves to the amount of thousands of
dollars. The Chicago men stole these
automobiles and sold them to people
in Kenosha and other places. The
Kenosha men may have shown poor
judgment in making purchases of au-
tomobiles from the people who stole
them but we have, with one exception,
no reason to hold these men on any
criminal charge. All of them have
paid very heavily for their experience.
May Have Leaders of Gang.
It developed today that two men who
are believed to have been the leaders
of the band of automobile thieves are
under arrest in Chicago but the names
of the men have not been made pub
lie on account of the fact that the de-
tectives in Chicago are hopeful that
they can bring about the arrest of all
of the members of the gang. The OPP
erations Of this gang has been over a
very wide territory" declared Chief
O'Hare this morning. "One of the au-
tomobiles was stolen in Dallas Texas,
months ago, another was stolen from
the streets of the city of Chicago dur
ing the Elks Convention and other
ears were taken from time to time from
Chicago and other cities"
1--WE do not believe that we have
recovered anywhere near ali of the
ears disposed of by the gang and
there may be others in Kenosha. The
men from whom the automobiles have
been taken have all come clean. They
have talked freely with us. Several of
them have bills of sale showing the
content of the fraud practiced on
them"
