a German scientist had discovered
the art of making artificial gold does
not seem to have improved C ernany's
credit, and she continues to find it diff

mands of her creditors. The scien-
tific gentlemen actually make rubies

market the latter. But gold is min

There is s5O.OoO.OOO in gold in the

depths of the Atlantic contains four

estimated total amount of gold in the
oceans of the world thus runs into
thousands of millions of tons.
Mans high regard for gold Is due,
Hammond believes, to a race memory
OF the time When it was the only metal
known. Unlike other metals, which
generally require sneitihg, gold is
often found in a free state. one Of
the largest nuggets of this sort, the

The business of the American Santa
Claus has been making a. remarkable
growth, according to the returns of
the last census. These show that
there were in 1914, 200 establishments
IN the United States manufacturing
toys and games, with a total capital
OF $10.4SS,S43, and a total of $500
persons engaged in the Industry. The
pfe-war demand far exceeded the do
nestle production and the decline in
the receipts of imported toys from
1915 until after the arrnistice Jed to an
extensive development Of the toy in
dustry in this country. The retail
value OF the toy production in 1918
was probably not less than 10000
600. in contrast to which a recent bui-
letin OF the Toy Manufacturers asso-
citation Of the United States Of Amer
lea, which comprises about tic mem
bers, estimates the sale OF toys. dur
ing 1920 at 800, 100000, Of which
$50. 10000 was made in the United
States. with indications that 1891 will
probably show an increase in produc-
ton Of at least 80 per cent. 1t Is said
that about 10000 persons are nov
employed in toy making. The toy
manufacturers now are making loud
appeals for a tariff which will ex-
clude the German and japanese prod
ucts. A tax on Santa Claus will not
be received kindly by the American
people.

ny ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs THOMPSON; Several
months ago 1 had to have an opera
ton and at first 1 got very much bet
ter and the doctor and every one else
said 1 improved more rapidly than
could be expected. The doctor told me
he would not need to see me again
after 1 had been under. his care Tor
one month. Now I am not feeling as
well as L did and have no strength.
I.feel. that a tonic would do me good.
Please suggest something that would
make me strong. F WORRIED
You should go back to the doctor
and, tell him how you feel. You need
medical attention and, should not take
a tonic unless it is subscribed by your
physician.
Dear. Mrs. Thompson: Last sum
mer there was a. boy here visiting rel
atives. While he was here ne took. me
to several entertainments We were
good friends and had, just dandy times
together. He writes to me, but he
writes Just a few lines and just a
Main, social letter. He writes moth
ing like what ne said when he was
here. Do you think he really cares
for me?
I am a girl just beginning in the
latter part of my teens. 1 love this
boy very much. Should 1 continue TO
write to him r. e. NJ
1t is evident th.t the boy regards
you as a friend and not q sweetheart
I see no reason to stop corresponding.
Write to him as he writes to you and
do not expect love.
