Elephants that walk
And babies thst talk
Animals that seem alive.
The results, it would seem,
OF childhood's dream,
For Christmas, '25.
Toys for Christmas have reached
San Antonio-toys in endless variety
and almost unbelievable ingenuity.
Toys from various parts of Europe
and the Orient are here, but different
from pre-war days, the majority are
made in L. S. A."
Like a walk through land of child
hood dreams is visit to some Of the
larger stores dealing in toys.
BETTER THAN EVER.
G. P. Godfrey, known for years as
first assistant to Santa Claus" man
ager of the toy department of Joske
Bros. Company, says that toys this
year are better than ever before and
in greater variety.
Most popular of all the toys for
girls, Mr.. Godfrey says, "of course
dolls" and dolls may be had from IL
cents to $35.
First in the hearts of the boys, Mr..
Godfrey says, are mechanical sets,
ranging in price from 81 to S25.
An outstanding feature of the small
toy line, he says, is a wooden toy
from Czecho-Slovakia which sells at a
very small price. These come as ele-
plants and other animals, birds of diff
ferent kinds. men of all nations, sol
diers, priests, policemen and even Il

By BESS CARROLL

Two timely styles have arrived from
London.
Timely they are indeed, for both are
innovations in clocks.
Do you want to make a watchdog
of your wuzzy poodle? 1t can DO done.
Just buy him new London dog collar
with a watch in it.
There is even a more alarming style
than this, for women are wearing
alarm clocks on their wrists.
The men of the world will rise up
and call the alarm-watch blessed, for
its shrill siren will force Milady to be
on time.
Fuel bills will be lighter on hard

were two who thought Adam built
the ark; seven who believed Jeru-

but amusing manner.
DOLL HOUSES, TOO.
Doll houses, also from Czechoslo-
vakia, also are to be had ranging
from q small bungalow to mansions
of two stories and half, completely
furnished. They range in price from
81 to $50. A peculiar fact in con-
nection with the sale of these more
expensive houses, Mr.. GODFREY says,
is that few of them are sold for San
Antonio children, but TO wealthy
Mexicans to be sent into Mexico.
Wagons and scoOters, the delight of
the small boys hearts, are to be had
in wide range from % cents for a
four-wheel iron wagon to n $3.50
racer.
Doll carriages for the girls range
in price from $3.75 to SO.
IMPROVED TRAINS.
Electric trains. always popular, are
here in improved designs and with
many accessories, such as safety stops,
signal lights, etc. They cost from
So up.
The World War and import duties,
Mr.. Godfrey said, turned toy buyers
from imported to domestic toys and
while the first cost on those from
overseas is much lower, before all
charges have been paid, this has been
increased approximately 100 per cent.
The result has been the manufacture
of toys in the United States. The ad-
valorem duty alone is 30 per cent.

Bernard Shaw is among the celebri-

from the autograph hunters point OF
view, who know that 1t is useless to

story of how Lady Swathllng's ehiE

young.
Keen autograph hunters, the young
Montagus realized that to write to g.

less. So they composed a letter, In

SET of Teeth

The word "set" in this relation is a
general term and may correctly be
applied either to all the teeth or to
only part of them. For instance, IL
is correct to say, he has a good set OF
upper teeth or good set of lower
teeth. On the other hand, 1t is also
correct to say, he has a good set of
teeth, meaning both the upper and
lower teeth taken together. If no
modifying word such as upper" or
lower is used "set Of teeth" is I'M
derstood to include both.-P Pathfinder
Magazine.
