Here they can romp without disturb
ing anyone.
A children's room is also blessing
to the rest of the family. After a
hard days struggle to get the where
withal to buy bread for his little
brood, the father returns home. his
heart longing for the sweet peaceful
ness of his own hearth. It is hard
for him to have to jump up imme-
diately after supper and set himself
to amuse his children with their ex-
uberant spirits; it is equally hard on
the children to be continually SUBJ
dued and told to be quiet. This. I
think, more than anything else, tends
to make children seek their pleasures
outside the home.
Having all the toys in one room
makes it easier for the mother, too.
The children are contended and self
amused, and the busy mother has not
to answer quite so often that difficult
question, "What shall dc? ?"
Of course every house cannot have
a children's room, but some corner
should be theirs, portion of the liv-
ing room or the kitchen. They should
have table, a book shelf, and box
for toys. I have been in houses where
there was drawing room, a dining
room, den and sewing room, but
the children's toy box was in the
kitchen, and the "help" refused to
have the lid opened for the toys to
be taken out, The children wandered
all over the house, getting into every
body's way, or went out and bothered
the neighbors. Children must have
something to do, they should be in
terested in what they are doing and
they need place in which to do it.
/ have found children's room a great
help toward this end. Z

CROPS SHOW
ABOUT SAME
Government Reports for
November are About
Like Estimates

The November 1 crop report for
Washington shows small increase
in potato production as compared
with the October / forecast, but pro-
duction this season, as shown in the
report Of G. s. Gray Of the Federal
Division of Crop and Livestock es-
Inmates, is considerably smaller than
in 1923 and much below the five-year
average. Forecasts of apple and
pear crops show very little change
from estimates made one month ago.
The preliminary estimate of the
Washington potato crop on Novem-
Der / was 1864, 900 bushels as COM
pared with the October / estimate
of 6,346, 900 bushels. The 1928 crop
was 5000, 900 bushels while the FIVE
year average, 1918-1922, was $780,
600 bushels. The indicated yield per
acre this season is 1876 bushels. This
yield is somewhat lower than the 155
bushels per acre last season and the
ten-year average Of 140 bushels per
acre. In quality the crop averages
SO against 88 last season and a ten
year average Of 80.
Based on a preliminary yield of
"a bushels per acre, the Washington
corn crop is placed at 2,Ss0,0OO bu-
shells as compared with yield Of
81 bushels per acre and production
of 2,738, 900 bushels in 1923. Of the
1924 corn crop, "a per cent is esti-
mated to be of merchantable quail
ty against rs per cent of the 1928
crop.
The commercial apple crop Of
Washington on November / was es-
timated to be 17,112,00 bushels, or
So per cent of full crop. This es-
innate shows but very little change
from the October / forecast of 49,
953, 900 bushels. The 1923 CONNER
cial crop was 27,594,0 900 bushels while
the five-year average, 191S-18'2, was
Is, 804, 900 bushels.
The total apple crop of the state
this season is placed at 20,944, 900
bushels, preliminary estimate. or Sc
per cent of full crop. Total apple
production in 1928 amounted to 3D.
357, 900 bushels. The five-year aver
age, 1918-1922, was $685. 900 BUSH

. PLACE FOR THE CHILDREN

T. this day of small, convenient
houses. it sometimes seems impos-
.;ble to devote one room to the child
-en but why not build houses with
. room for them? "a nice, bright,
comfortable one off the kitchen,
here mother can keep an eye on it,

- screened with canvas, and here
,he children have slept the year

Tho we sometimes get zero weather.

Of her toys, two tables and their own
little chairs. Here my little girls
seem very happy. They have taken
a great interest in the room them
selves, and in keeping it tidy. 1t has
given them a new interest in their
home. They feel that this room is
their very own. Every human being
has that love of possession, whether
II be for a bedroom. a bookshelf,
or only box - some spot to call his
own. A few suggestions given by
me, while busy in the kitchen, as to
good place to put dolly's cradle or
into which drawer to put dolly's
clothes, are training these little girls
to love orderliness and to be useful.
After they have been out in the after
noon they are keen to come back to
their room, and sometimes they bring

NEW STEEL BUYING
 ON SMALL SCALE
Purchasers Apparently Await
 Permanent Price Basis

NEW YORK, April 26.-New buy ing in the steel market this week was limited, and production by the mills further curtailed. Buyers and sellers l were apart over the question of values, and it was thought probable that new buying will continiie small until more permanent price basis has been fixed. Demand for pig iron was also slow, with the undertone easy, although re- duced production has brought the out put nearer to current requirements.
 Copper was quiet and easier. While no general selling pressure was re- ported, there have been declines in Lon don. and prices here were shaded both by second hands and producers with, out any apparent stimulation of de. mand. Buyers for domestic consump- ton appear to have covered their more liimmediate needs, and are anticipating Hull in export demand, following the heavy shipments of the last two months, 1t is believed that there has been an accumulation of stocks abroad in an | ticipation of the increase in ocean freight rates scheduled for May 1.
 Tin was easier, without making full response to the London break as con. sumers show more interest, with sellers offering sparingly because of an antici, pated decrease in the visible supply.
 Lead was cut $5 ton by the leading producer, but nevertheless, except for large cable requirements, sIackenins trend is noted in consuming quarters
 In zinc, freer offerings caused an easy tone, and there was some talk of cprtailment becasue of the poor de. mAnd.

COTTON LOSES
 PART OF GAINS
May Sells Off 5S Points, Market Closing At De-
 cline Of 3S To B

NEW YORK, April 26.-Y Yesterday advances were followed by reactions in the. cotton market today. with May selling off to 30.07c, or 5S points net lower. That delivery closed at 30.12c and the general market closed easy at net declines of 3S to B points.
 The opening was barely steady at an advance of points on May but gen erally 2 to 13 points lower. Liverpool did not fully meet the advances of yes terday in the American markets and there was selling here on the favorable view of the. weather map. Offerings were comparatively light during the earlier trading but the reactions brought in very little buying and the dispo- sition to liQuidate' recent purchases seemed to become more general late in the morning. It was promoted by favor able private crop reports from the southwest stating that rains there had been beneficial and there was also a feeling that the, advances of the pre- vious day had eased the near month sit uation. July sold off to 2S.3Sc and October to 24.47c, making net de- clines of about 40 to 5S points on the active positions and last prices were within few points of the lowest. Pri- vate cables reported selling of July by importers in Liverpool.
