HARDING HAS PROBLEM.
Speeches Might Embarrass the Arma-
ment Meeting.

fe~SNftAs
Washington.-The Harding admins
tration does not want congress in ses-
sion during the first few days of the
disarmament conference.
This desire has been communicated
by congressional leaders by high adj
ministration officials. The reason
frankly is that administration leaders
fear speeches in the senate and the
house might embarrass the important
work of getting the arms parley pro-
gram under way.
Informal soundings are now being
made to get the drift of congressional
opinion. So far members appear to be
generally favorable to a recess be-
tween Nov. IL and the first Monday in
December, when the regular session
convenes.

THE AMERICAN TOY INDUSTRY

In 1911, according to the census re-
turns there were 300 establishments
in the United States manufacturing
TOYS and games, with an aggregate
capital of S10,4S3,S43, and a total of
1902 persons engaged in the industry
The pre-war demand far exceeded
the domestic production and the de-
cline in the receipts of imported toys
from 1915 until after the armistice
led to an extensive development Of
the toy industry in this country.
The retail value Of the toy produc-
ton in 1918 was probably not less
than S20000,000, in contrast to which
a recent bulletin of the Toy Manufac-
turers' Association of the United
States of America, which comprises
about 10 members, estimates the sale
of toys during the past year at $780,
100000. of which SS0,000.000 was
made in the United States, with in
dcations that 1921 will probably
show an increase in production of at
least 80 per cent. 1t is said that about
10000 persons are now employed in
toy making.

Seeding mangoes Of the West Indies.
The Hayden mango is particular
ly fine example Of the "peach>of the
Tropics" It is seeding of the first
East Indian mango brought to Anne
RIGA. The original plant was brought
here by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture and planted at
the field station at Miami, Fla. EX-
traordinary care was necessary at
first to protect it from frost. 1t was
three times seriously threatened. The
fruit of it's seedlings shows a much
finer development than those the par
ent plant bore.
This type of mango, when ripe, IS
about the size of an avocado. 1t IS
smooth egg-siiaped, with brilliant red
coloring, shading off to luscious
yellow. Northern dealers sell thf
fruit at from IS to S. cents each. Last
season they cost as much as ST.
apiece. Americans are perhaps more
open-minded in trying out new foods
than any other nationality in the
world, the when people in this coun-
try learn to like mangoes they will
be grown for popular consumption.
