otates League or the Junior Achieve ment bureau, according to Frank o. Kreager, assistant director of the league, who assisted by Charles Brif- fett and Mrs. Elizabeth Jones. All three experts came here from Spring. field, Massachusetts, headquarters of the bureau.
 At a regular session of the daily vacation Bible school in Center Con- gregational church yesterday morning and again at a special session of the school held in the afternoon. MT. Kreager and his assistants gave some very interesting demonstrations of work done by Junior Achievement clubs throughout the country. A toy auto, with red and black body and real rubber tires, all except the rub Der tires, made from old tin cans by 13 year old Armenian boy. was ex- l hiblted as specimen of juvenile skill. That the toy was success so far as 1t resembled a regular auto is l shown by the statement that the boy has refused an offer of $10 for it. A fly trap. made of a cigar box, an old piece Vf wire screen taken from discarded screen door and an empty fruit jar. is a marvel of juvenile in- genuity. Bird-houses of various styles. made from old tin cans, wood- en games. automatic toys. ring toss novelty toys, mechanical climbing monkeys, all cut from cigar boxes, are so simple when understood that before the afternoon was over, New Britain boys had equipped themselves with small coping saws and were hard at work making new toys. The work Is not confined to toys o1o ;r
