Toy Industry Is
Growing in u. S.

Germany will we a hard strug-
gle to get its toy industry back.
For several Christmases the Ger
man manufacturers have not been
able to enter the American market
and other means OF supplying the
demand have been found. One of
the results of the war is the teach
ing of tOy-making in the manual
training departments of the city
schools. Starting with the simpler
toys made from cigarbox material
and decorated with brilliant paint
the children are being encoura ged
to develop originality of design and
coloring and it is forecasted that
this form of instruction will be ex-
tended. There is certainly no
reason why toys which are fully
as good as any produced in Europe
should not be manufactured in
this country.

Names for Dolls.

A doll or a fluffy cat for a child
should have a real name. Dolly or
kitty is not enough. Nor should
common name like John or Mary
serve when Penelope or Sophron.
isba or Alcibiades is at hand for q
mouth-filler. OF course, Jane and
Pete are better than hosts of
Dorothys and Geoffreys. Half the
fun is in learning to pronounce
something new. For this reason,
perhaps it is well to change a dolls
name, say, every month or SO. Ben.
jamin, Alexander, and Abijah, Hep.
zibah, or Christopher, and Mill.
cent. any one of these would wear
well for a doll Of dignity and char.
acter. And no doll should be bur.
dened with more than one name at
time. How much better to have
one good name, remember it, and
then change it later If necessary,
than to dabble with a Mary Viola
Elizabeth Genevieve, or a Hector
Ferdinand La Rochefoucauld Jones.

Coach Hopes for

the basket, but had too much foot

that no practice will be held until
suitable weather is here, because
it is not good for the leather.

Hosv to Make
Solid Ricycle Tires

Old bicycle tires can be rendered
puncture-prOof by an extremely
simple and inexpensive treatment.
Scrap rubber of almost any descrip-
ton is cut into small pieces, none
larger than one-half an inch square,
A slit, about four inches long. is
made in the tire on the side which
fits on the rim, and while this Is
held open by short length of stiff
wire, the bits Of rubber are forced
through it into the casing, and
pushed as far as possible away
from the opening. The hole is then
closed by tying a piece Of string
around the tire. Another slit is
cut about 10 inches from the first,
and the same operation performed
again. This is continued until the
entire casing is packed with the
rubber chunks, when the strings
holding the edges of the Sits to-
gether are removed, and the tire
placed on the wheel rim. After the
bicycle is ridden a short distance,
more rubber can be placed in it.
This makes it practically solid. 1t
can then be cemented to the rim
A tire treated in this manner will
not ride quite as easily as a pneu-
matte tire; but it protects the rim
from injury at slight cost.

To secure supper partners, the
hostess may bring in two little bas-
kets of candy hearts, the contents
Of each basket being connected
with those OF the other by a per
feet tangle Of baby ribbons. The
girls each select heart from one
basket and each man one from the
other. Lined up on opposite sides
of the room the two groups are
connected by the tangled ribbons.
At a signal from the hostess they
begin to unwind only to become
more enmeshed and confused as
the cords cross and recross. But
at last the heart Of the girl and
the heart of the man are freed
from the others and united.

Horses Still Used
In Nations Capital

In these days of transatlantic
airplane flights, automobiles, and
other swift features Of modern
transportation, a horse-drawn We
hicle for the conveyance of passen-
gers is something to make the
average person look twice. There
are few hacks and cabs operating
in the larger cities Of the United
States, but in Washington, d. c., it
is not uncommon to see dozens Of
carriages, cabs and hacks drawn
up at railway station, waiting for
passengers, in competition with the
gasoline-propelled taxicabs. Sight
seers quite frequently choose the
slower vehicles for a lei5urely tour
of the nations capital.

Tells About Father
and His Snowshoes

One winter | and my brother
were going to have some fun when
the snow came. So we went to
bed early one night when it was a
showing and were going to get up
early the next morning. When
there was about 4 feet Of snow on
the ground. 1t had no crust, so
we were about tickled to death.
There was a pond about a mile
away that was frozen over.
The people went fishing there by
cutting holes in the ice. SO one
morning we were out in an old
house putting on our snow shoes.
Our father told us to bring his
shoes in and put them on him.
There is where we though we
would have some fun so we took
our knives and cut holes right in
the center so he would go through
them when we put them on. So
we took them in to him and started
putting them on him. We asked
him if we could go with him. He
said no. We got his shoes on and
he took his pole and basket and
started out. When he got up and
tried to walk the first thing he did
was to falldoWn. Then he got
up and tried it again. That time
he went through the shoes and in
to the snow over his head.
Then he was angry. He took
them off and started after us. When
he caught us he punished U.s.

herited much of his good charac-
ter from her. The Lincoln family
moved 10 Illinois eight years after
Mrs. Lincoln's death.
At different times Abraham was
a flatboat hand, clerk, country
storekeeper and postmaster. He
was also captain of volunteers in
the Black Hawk War. He learned
some law by borrowing books at an
office at night. He never failed to
return them in the morning. After
he was admitted to the bar he rose
rapidly.
He was tall and ungainly in ap-
pearance and little versed in re-
finement Of society, but he was
gifted with a great kindness Of
heart He was earnest, sympathetic
anf faithful. Surrounded by his
wife and friends he was assas-

Many are the legends which clus-
ter about ST. Valentines Day and
all Of them explain in one way or
mother why that day Of all others
Is dedicated to the expression Of
love. Here are few Of the very
modern ways of telling the same
old story" Place cards and invita-
tons can be easily made by the
prospective hostess. Correspond
ence cards decorated gayly with
valentine symbols, hearts, arrows,
and cupids which may be obtained
in gummed seals will do for the in
vitations and small plain white
cards of the calling card size will
be suitable for place cards. An
original little verse may be written
by the clever hostess or any num-
Der of verses may be found which
make appropriate invitations.
These are effective if written in
red ink.
The time and the address may be
placed in the lower corners of the
card, the signature just below the
verse The cards may be cut in
heart shape if desired and may be
OF red or pink cardboard instead of
white.
AS the guests arrive the hostess
gives to each girl key and to each
man a heart, made Of water color
paper, the hearts red, the keys
gold. The men are told to find the
keys which fit their hearts. AS
each heart contains a keyhole of
different size, cut in the center,
and only one key will fit it, this
causes a deal Of merriment and
serves to start things going"
The partners thus determined
join in a Heart Hunt" for which
tiny baskets may be provided. The
hostess has previously hidden
about the rooms a large number of
tiny, heart shaped candies or the
old fashioned conversation loz-
enges" To the couple finding the
largest number of these a prize is
awarded. Two kewpie dolls may
serve as the point prize, or heart
shaped pincushions or something
Of that sort.
FEW GOOD GAMES
Wedding ring titling is lot Of
fun. Attach a plain band ring to a
string and suspend it at a height
Of about 5 feet from the floor. Each
guest in turn is asked to stand at
a given place in the room, about 10
feet from the suspended ring, and
point a pencil at the center Of the
ring. He is then told to walk rap
idly toward the ring in an effort

CHILDREN'S LETTERS

Any child, writing a letter, may
easily illustrate it, by cutting out
small pictures from an old mag
azine, and pasting them in the pro-
per places on the paper. Once such
a letter is written, it deserves real
ly to be mailed, without any just
prentending, for any grown-up will
be glad to get it, and to send an
answer by the regular postman.

Report. is Made

Mrs. +. B. Fuller, protector and rep
representative to the Grand temple
Pythan Sisters at the recent cOnven-
tion at Yosemite made her report to
the local temple last night before Il
large gathering including d dozen or
more from the newly organized temple
at Brawley. She said that Knights
and ladies were both highly enchanted
with the scenery and highly edited
by the convention. Beauty was as
much in evidence as %allantry and
chivally and that Judge Bledsoe in his
address before the convention had de-
clared that while others were claiming
to be charmed at the beauties of Yose-
mite it was beauty as it had come
to Yosemite that he came to see. An
other speaker Mrs. Fuller said, made
the eXtravagant statement that from
Glacier Point one could stand on tip
toe and tickle the feet Of his departed
friends to which our neghbor J. Stan
ley Brown replied that it would be
more benevolent to come to Imperial
valley where below the level of the sea
one could stoop down on his knees
and apply cold towel to the fevered
brow of departed spirits. The local

OVERLAND WINS
ECONOMY RUN TO
YOSEMITE PARK
story is Told of HOU Orerland
Cars Won Big Run, Making
Remarkable Record; Drirers
Are Pleased.
By ALAN II. FERNALD

On Saturday, May s. about J:3C
o'clock, if you had been at the gas
checking station just outside Camp
Curry in the Yosemite you would have
seen automobile history in the making
1t was the close of the fourth annual
Los Angeles Yosemite Economy Run
and the last cars were checkin in,
s. Dust-c0vered drivers. keen-eyed OBJ
servers and business like A. A. A. Of
ficials made up a tense and dramatic
picture.
Here was q race that was not neces-
sarily to go to the swift and every
eye was watching the refilling of gas
tanks that were to tell the story of
success or failure.
First came the preliminary fill that
brought the flow well toward the top,
then the completion of filling by hand
so that not a drop would be wasted
or unaccounted for. The Three AS
are sticklers for accuracy and as one
driver put it 'the last shot was put in
with medicine dropper.'
All cars had started with full tanks
and had taken on additional gas at the
Fresno control before starting that
morning. The sum of the two less the
gas in the tank, determined by the
amount required to fill it, made the
score.
There was a spontaneous sigh of re-
lief whenever the gas frothed and
Sparkled TO the top, for long fill
put one out of the running and the
man who arrived with a tank nearly
empty was just "plumb out of luck'
that is with one exception.
The exception, a man who seemed
more like a boy, was Henry Anon,
driving the Overland touring car
entry.
That morning at Fresno he had as
tonished the officials at the tanks by
asking for only two gallons.
Now, everyone knew the capacity
of the Overland tank was 20 gallons,
and this must mean that Anon was
either bluffing and out Of il, or had
supreme knowledge of what his car
would do and knew confidently that
he could finish the trip on twelve gal
Ions or less.
1t takes youngsters to win races and
later that evening with three big
trophy cups in his arms he told me
that ne was mighty pleased but that
he was neither surprised nor excited
for it was all part of plan and he
had done just exactly as he planned
to do.
This was not said boastfully, if you
knew Henry Anon | would not have
to tell you that. but simply matter
Of fact statement. and saw there was
story and made up my mind to get
it from him.
"You see,' said Anon. "the road
was charted, we had studied it first
hand and knew every grade and turn,
Then we knew what the car would do
and put the two together-lt was
simply case of combining them in
diligently"
Sounds simple doesn't it, but did you
ever try to pilot an automobile over
365 miles of varying road, covering
every possible driving condition, with
a hundred miles of tortuous mountain
driving, and all ON little more than
10 gallons of gasoline? That is what
Henry Anon did and | marveled at
it, for just at this time with the acute
gasoline shortage there must be an

own money for any part that's not

his earnestness.
"Do you believe that any other man
could get such mileage from it?" |
continued for was thinking of gaso-
line saving and how much it would
mean in helping out the present situ-
alton.
"There is no reason why they
couldn't" he said, "if people would
only learn to know their cars and to
keep them in shape and treat them as
any fine piece of machinery should be
treated"
After all that's the thing too many
Of us forget, to keep our cars in shape.
This neglect and carelessness is just
part Of the tremendous national
waste that has been going on--wast
age of gas. of oil, of tires, and it
runs into millions not per year but
per month ard per week.
That is why | believe the annual
economy run to be fine thing, for 1t
teaches the possibilities of what can
be done by tuning up every part of
a motor and then using the force 1t
Greatest to the best driving advantage.
Later on, | talked with Fred Costa
who had piloted an Overland sedan,
winner in class two. With a score OF
II 7-8 gallons to his credit, he seemed
to feel the same confidence and, like
Anon, was not surprised at winning
he too was working on predeter-
mined schedule and felt it all a part
of the plan to win.
Such sureness was disconcerting and
as last refuge turned to +. B. Will
son, manager of the Willys-Overland
Pacific branch and asked him what
sort of preparation it required to win
an event like this.
His reply was brief and character
istic. What is lacked in sentiment is
made up in common sense. He said,
"In the first place, get the proper, car
In the next place, get thaJ car IN con
dition. If you are going into con-
test, plan your work and work your
plan. Another thing, remember that
haste makes waste. Know when to-
shift your gears. Don't be too lazy
to shift. CarelessneSs and laZlnesS
lose more contests and burn more gas
than any other two factors. Careless
ness will drive you into a position that
costs gas to get out of. Don't over
heat your engine any more than you
would overhead your horse. II you
feed your horse you are gong to
lose the race. If you drive your horse
without water you are going. to lose
the race and if you try to drive your
motor without water, you Will lose the
race. Careful driving is great fea-
ture. Remember that piece OF ma
chinery has no brains, If the driver
had none, he is out of luck
So this was why Henry Anon driv-
ing a light car, carrying dead weight
equivalent to load of II passengers,
drove his car with confidence to the
tune of a 10 1-3 gallon victory over
a 800 mile course that presented every
variety and complication of driving
and was not surprised at the victory.
