TOY INDUSTRY
GROWING IN u. S.
Less Than Fifty Years Ago Toy
Making in United States
Was Unheard OF

A charter has just been granted to
a prc0oration capitalized at si2,00O,-
900 which will manufacture toys,
says a writer in the New York Her
o. The fact is interesting, not only
~ evidence ~ the growth Of an
American industry. but also az a re-
mindcr Of what an elaborate affair
the bushes. 81 making playthings
has become.
The toy industry could not be said
90 exist In the United States before
1875. Prior 20 that time more than
90 per cent % the toys used in this
country were Of foreign manufac-
;ure Today scarcely per cent Of
me toys played with here are made
abroad Practically all the ingenious
toys. the remarkable mechanism Of
which are at once the despair and the
secret pleasure Of parents, are Of
American make.
The scientists who dig into the re-
mains Of ancient civilizations, Egypt
ian. Greek and Roman. tell Us that
toys are almost as old az man himself.
Savage peoples make dolls TO play
with. beides fashioning images Of
,Ge.- gods; the natural instinct Of
child for diversion cannot be denied.
In Egypt the archaeologists have
| unearthed wooden, earthenware and
metal dolls. They have found the
precursor OF the teddy bear in a
painted wooden calf and a wooden
elephant The Greek and Roman
children Of long ago had jointed dolls
manipulated by strings
Although toys were among the first
things man made, progress in their
manufacture was slow. A century
ago they were limited in variety and
Of the simplest construction. Be-
sides dolls, there were hoops and
jumping ropes, ten-pins and marbles.
popguns, battledore and shuttlecock
and Jack in the box. That was about
all
The modern toy store is a mini

triumph Of engineering the toy max
er does not emulate after his fashion.
bu; il is doubtful that the children
are happier than rag dolls and stick
horses made them. II the child's
genius for finding substitutes for the
real thing could be carried into adult
life the nerve specialists could take
down their shingles.

GO ON WITH THE STORY

Kate Ward slept little that night.
 Her face turned toward the window, her eyes wide, she stared at the stars visible through the shady pines.
 She tried to think the thing out. to ind some principle in the tangled maze on which she might base her future course and by which she might measure her generosity or her selfish ness toward the woman who claimed the sharing of parenthood with Dan Ward.
 A silhouette parade of past events moved f1tfully past her mental vision.
 Kate had never deceived herself in her summing up of Dan. the man she loved. She knew his shortcomings. She knew that women had figured much in his life before their marriage and that in sense they had contin- ued to be part of his life, even to the end. A
 But she believed that his love had been hers in spite of the froth of af- fairs and she knew that her own past life. revealed to him in an hour of depression on the morning he picked her up in the park had something to do with his flights of pursuit
 Kate Ward had been about to give up the struggle and was considering the easiest means of ending 1t that morning when a car drew up in front of the bench on which she sat and

understand why his mother did not care for Aunt Nancy's visits. He liked to sec Aunt Nancy coming. He liked to hear her ask questions He liked to hear his mother answer them. By staying in the house whenever Aunt Nancy called, Jimmy Rabbit learned many interesting things thnt he would never have known other wise.
 When he came hurrying home one day, breathless, and told his mother that Aunt Nancy had invited him to come to her house to dinner, Mrs. Rabbit smiled in an odd way.
 "Go, If you wish to-" she said. T hope you'll have a good time" She wouldn't have gone to Aunt Nancy'c house for a meal--not for bushel of peas. She had sat down at Aunt Nancy's table once And that was one time too many.
 It didn't take Jimmy long 10 wash his face and paws, brush his hair, and put on his best suit. In ten minutes he was on his way And Mrs. Rabbit stood in the doorway and watched him hop out Of sight. Then she turned to her work, which was she'll ing green peas.
 'I'll shell a plenty" she murmured. Jimmy will be hungry when he gets home" And that was certainly a queer thing to say, when he had just started for a place where he was in- vited to dine.
 When Jimmy reached Aunt Nancys house he found her big family all at home. for 1t was almost dinner time.

 That will be bully" Mir. Rickett exclaimed.
 You are very kind. Thank you so much," Miss Cargill murmured. But young Mir Smythe turned on his heel loftily ignoring me. knew, however. that he would not come near lis after our little encounter of the morning, and I went on into the house, hoping that my luck would continue with Mrs. Barker.
 I found her in the dining room. placing a bountiful supper upon the table. Her back looked uncom- promising and her face as she turned it upon me when she heard my foot steps, was dark and forbidding.

LYCEUM THEATER.

Today is the last chance to see the sterling vaudeville bill, featuring girl aerial novelties; the Irish Bricklayers, two very good male singers; the Mec- ca Revue in bits of classical songs; a comedy sketch, and other good at fractions. The picture, described as. unusually compelling, is Missing Husbands" a French production with a mysterious and romantic setting. It deals with the queen of an Arab tribe who is so beautiful she lures men from their homes and wives. Her strange power over young French officer is the plot of the story.
 Tomorrow the Lyceum will present a new vaudeville program, and a new picture will be shown. #fsS
 The vaudeville and picture program will be omitted on Friday, when Neil O'Brien's Minstrels will give mati- nee and evening show, but on Satur- day the Thursday show will be re- peated.

Military Police Force
 Planned by MusSOlini

Rome, Dec. 20. (By Associated Press )-Plans for transforming the militant section of the Fascist into the militia for national safety are in the hands of Premier Mussoltni and will be discussed by the Fascist leaders and then by the next council of ministers.
 According to these plans the new militia will be independent from but will work in unison with the police force and will be "at the service of God and country"
 Only 10000 men will be allowed to join at first. These will be chosen from among the Fascist who have given the best proofs of courage, self sacrifice and high moral qualities. The officers will be nominated by royal decree. In case of war the new militia will form an integral part of the army.

In the hour that followed she told him more of herself than any man had a right to know, more than was good for his own peace of mind in view Of eventualities.
 She held that confessional hour tc account for many hours of anguish ir her later life and regarded it - a req son for her own tolerance with her husbands failings.

Though few people still insist that the typewriter is for business only and insulting when used socially, today's custom permits typewriter letters for nearly all occasions. However. con- mercial paper should not be used for social correspondence. wide margin should be left at top, bottom and the sides of the page, and the signature, either to business or social letter, should be in pen and ink.
