NNo, No, Nanette" came to the Ma
ftonal Theater last night fresh and
ltycly despite the fact that II was
born almost two seasons ago.
Washington was lucky in getting
one of the foremost of a dozen COM
9anles now playing this musical hit
IN the United States and other parts
OF tho world, and Ona Nunson OF the
fwiukling eyes and tripping toes
danced and charmed herself straight
into the hearts of large and appre-
EiatiVe audience In presenting a Nan
cite naturally charming and petite.
Then, too, there is Julia Sanderson,
Tor whom Washington long has had Il
warm spot; Donald Brian and Frank
Crunit, who volley comedy quips
nicely and handle even pantomime
With telling effect.
That voices, on the average. were

The story behind it all is drawn
from successful farce. also present

The play. strange enough, did not

SCHOOL
HELPS

ET7 HEN your grandfather was a
N/t boy, his toys were a top
|" made from an empty SPOOL
a whistle cut from willow tree,
and newspaper-covered kite with a
long rag tail-all Of which he made
himself. Yet IL the top would spin,
the kite fly, and the whistle send
forth a shrill piping note, he was
just as proud and happy as you are
when you set up your toy wireless
apparatus, run your toy trains on
elaborate tracks. If your grand
mother had store doll besides
her homemade rag-baby 1t probably
had a china head with shiny painted
china hair that wouldn't comb. Dolly
was served from a "phetend" cup
board, on bits Of broken dishes. but
her mud-pies and saw-dust cakes
were as good as any you can make
in your doll kitchen, for all its model
range and enameled baking dishes.
If toys make children happy,
Uncle and girls are the luckiest in
the world. He gathers their toys
from every corner Of toyland. In
one playroom may be found such a
variety as a Swiss chalet with a
music-box inside, curious kites and
paper tricks from Japan, wooden
jointed jugglers from Germany. pa
pier-mache soldiers from Spain,
games of endless variety, and dolls
of every size and kind from every
land
For many years Germany and
Switzerland made most of the toys
for the whole world, for in both of
these countries there are whole COM
munities that are entirely given over
to toy-making. Imagine a whole val
ley where one family for generations
has made rocking horses, another
dolls heads, another dolls arms or
bodies! Season after season buyers
of toys were satisfied with the cheap
wooden animals, tin mechanical toys
and pretty dolls made by these Old
World workers. Then toy-makers
began to experiment with more
elaborate toys and even educational
toys. The result was novelties of
which the older generation had never
dreamed. What would those earlier
children have thought Of three-foot
electrically propelled cruiser with
complete wireless apparatus; a fire
truck that comes right up to the
dollhouse and hoists its own ladder,
a knock-down and assemble outfit
from which boy can make his own
truck, tractor or automobile that will
run on its own power; or an air
plane that will fly 800 or 400 feet
on a single winding? Such toys as
these, expensive though they are,
have lessened the demand for Noah's
arks, woolly dogs and toy drums and
trumpets, while Uncle Sans charac-
ter dolls. completely furnished two
story dollhouses, real grocery stores
and workable little theaters" have
largely replaced the long popular
conventional articles Of German
manufacture.

TOYS--Facts about the
things Santa CLAUS
brings for Christmas.

UT this is only half the story.
Xxi Uncle Sam now not only
- makes his own toys. but he
has enough left over TO send abroad.
Applying modern factory methods
to their making he is often able to
sell his toys at prices which Euro
pean hand workers cannot meet. The
materials used are frequently scraps
or by-products from other industries.
Thus there is one toy factory that
buys sixty different kinds Of wood
scraps an buses several carloads a
day; while in another which makes
toy airplanes, the bamboo wing-ribs
come from a factory that makes
bamboo porch shades and the wing
silk is from a large shirt-makins es-
Enlistment.
The United States now makes all
mere figure or puppet toys, and
others are miniature or model toys
that range from furniture to steam
engines. The activity toys include
balls and skipping ropes, push
mobiles" and elaborate playground
equipment. The educational card
games. sectional and puzzle sets and
games with counters are endless.
Finally, there are steel construction
outfits, from which bridges, wind
mills. or even battleships' can be
built; and the sets of wheels, gears,
axle rods, pinions. nuts. bolts, screws
and frame pieces. from which such
varied toys can be made as a wheel
barrow, truck, coaster wagon, or
two-wheeled coaster, all strong
enough to endure the toughest kind
Of service a child can give them.
The history of toy-making goes
back to the very beginning of the
human family. Dolls, tops, ball and
rattles, have been found in the most
ancient tombs Of Egypt. Jolnted
dolls moved by strings and small
models Of furniture painted with
scenes of children's life have been
found among ruins of ancient Greece
and Rome. and every country and
age has had its similar toys and
games.

WHY THE HIGH
TAXES?

Editor, The washington Times:
rs there any definite reason why
j taxes on real estate In the
District should be raised 80 per
cent?
1 bought a house here six
years ago and the taxes on the
place have gone up each year
until 1924, when they dropped the
total sum Of 81. And now comes
another boost. Where does the
money go? From $45 to $85 in six
years is a rather steady increase.
It seems to me. Tax increase and
salary increase seem to go in
opposite directions, as / had my
last increase in salary five years
ago, and it amounted to slightly
over enough to pay my retire
ment fee.
believe that the tax system is
nearly, If not quit as bad as the
efficiency system, and that's say
ing something.
we had just a little to say about
it, but our only privileges as
United States dtizens here in the
District, is to pay the taxes and
not have anything to say about
how much we are to pay.
The people should rise up on
their launches and make some
sort Of an audible noise, it seems
to me. A. M. SMITH.
