HOMEMADE
PLAYTOYS
BY Lucy Lowell

ELABORATE and expensive
H toys are not the playthings
children like best. Nor are they
the ones which develop the mind
and imagination of the small boy
and girl, however contrary this
may be to the notion of mothers
and fathers who would like to
give their babies whole toy shops
if they could.
Experts on child psychology,
state that the homemade toy is
the ideal one, as a rule, since it
invites the youngster to think.
Frederick Tracy and Joseph
Stimpfl in THE Psychology Of
Childhood" state: 1.-THE function
of toys is to serve as lay figures
on which the child's imaginations
can weave and drape it's fancies."
And in Symbolic Education"
Susan Blow, the author, has this
to say: 1.-THE true plaything is
only a distaff of flax from which
the soul spins a many-colored
coat. 1t must be indefinite, ca
pable Of many transformations,
and be able to act many parts.
2 Only thus can it fulfill it's two
fold mission-to stimulate crea-
tive activity and satisfy the hun
ger of the soul for the ideal"
1.-THE child OF two or three
years" states Mrs. Minnie Wat
son Kamm, expert on child-rear-
ing, lis unable to construct toys
for it's own amusement, but the
desire to do SO is already de.
Veloped."
A suitable plaything which a
child may be helped to construct,
Mrs. Kamm suggests, IL a train
made of half dozen candy
boxes, fastened together on
string for the youngster to draw
about. Spools may be fastened to
the boxes for wheels.
"Clothespins make log houses
and fences and toothpicks make
flat houses, as we'll as some of
the letters which the child is
only beginning to recognize" she
goes on. "a promiscuous group

Then mother understood. Be.

And so the child's pride was
saved without any risk to her
health.

Drenching Rain Causes Serious Congestion at Mundelein, H., But None Is Seriously Injured.

Chicago. June 25 P-surging crowds returning from the conclud- - ing Eucharistic congress session at MundeIeln last night overwhelmed police and railroad officials after a terrific rain and hail storm swept down on the vast assemblage, drenching participants in the cere- monies and the on-Iookers and ruin ing priestly vestments valued at $200,000.
 In the rush for trains, a number of persons were hurt, but most of the injuries were slight More than 100 persons were brought to Chica- go on a special hospital train. Thirty-two were taken 10 hospitals on the north side, while the others, less seriously hurt, were sent to their homes. The most seriously in Jured was Mrs. Sarah Murphy 50, of Chicago, with a fractured skull and dislocated hip. Two other per sons suffered fractured ribs.
 More than 1000 other congress pilgrims were treated during the day at emergency first aid stations on the grounds where the ceremo- nies were held. Most of the cases were due to fainting or to exhaus- ton.
 Enormous Crowds

! Operators 20 years old figured 1 most frequently in the motor ve- 1 hicle accidents reported during 1925 l whereas in the previous year oper- ators 21 years old held that record. ! There were 1,490 accidents chalked up against 2O-year-old drivers last year and 1,405 against 2l-year-old drivers in the previous year.
 2,500 Over 70 Licensed
 Approximately 2,5o0 people more than 70 years old held licenses to operate motor vehicles in Connecti- cut last year. and it is estimated that at least that many of the same class are licensed at present in this state. The record does not show that the number of accidents Der licensed operator of the more-than- 7o-years-old class is any greater than that for classes of younger op- orators, Ten thousand of the Con. necticut operators Of last year were under 20 years old; 69,1S3 were be- tween 20 and 30 years old; 76,3Ol NElt DHLHtsu OV ana fD years old. 5?,1S5 were between 40 and 50 years old; 36,471 were between 50 and 60 years old and 12.576 were between 60 and 70 years old
 Thirteen of last years accidents involved cars driven by 15-year-old operators. Operators Is years old were involved in 16 accidents and l1-year-old operators figured in forty-nine accidents, Under the state law, no person at any of these ages could legally operate a motor vehicle in Connecticut unless ac- companied by an instructor licensed under the Connecticut law. Each case was disposed of on its merits.

moved magnifcently to their con-
 clusion as Cardinal Bonzano, papaI Ilegate, deposited the ostentsorium on
 the altar of the outdoor sanctuary and turning 10 the acres of uplifted
 faces, uttered the benediction.
 storm Causes Confusion
 The storm. coming after hours of
 sultry heat and the sudden move ment of the great throngs of tired,
 wet and weary pilgrims toward trains and automobiles at the con- 'clusion of the service, created scenes of confusion. and it was some time before the carefully arranged plan for caring for the multitude was functioning again.
 The sudden crush at the breakup of the huge gathering caught trans portation officials off guard. In few moments, crowd of 100, ,0O0 persons had damned the roadway between the main gate of the semi nary grounds and the North Shore Electric station across the street, damned it as tightly as if they had been poured into g. mold, so tightly that even policemen were held pin toned. It was hours before auto mobiles could move through that l Iimpenetrable multitude.
 For half an hour or more. the Icrowd was out of control and the departure of trains was delayed. It was past midnight that the last of the homeward bound pilgrims had cleared the grounds.
 First Great Rush
 The first great rush came with the bursting of the storm as the ceremonial procession wound it's way through the grounds of St. Mary of .the Lake. As the torrents fell. thousands of Onlookers broke from the lines and scurried for shelter or begun to make their way toward the station.
 After half mile journey, the milling throng found that the off cials had closed the barricade gates, fearing a huge casualty total if those in front were thrust out on the deadly third rail.
 But the outer edges of the crowd pressed forward and the relentless pressure from the rear hurled them against the pickets of the gates.
 Entire Force Called Out
 The entire terminal force Tast called out. Men with meEaphones , climbed to the roof of the big com l missary building and exhorted the | crowds 10 maintain order. Carpen- | ters swarmed the outer gates Of 1, the stockade and smashed in the gates relieving the pressure on those 1 in the lead.
 Then, as it became apparent that ! many in the multitude needed medi- l cal attention and creature comforts, | cases of soft drinks were speedily ! broken out of refrigerator cars and | distributed. Bucket brigades ran out and succored the fainting, pass ing cups through the strands Of barbed wire guarding the station.
 As the. eight-car trains. moving out at intervals of two minutes be- gan to relieve the congestion, of Columbus, with mega phones, instilled morale into the dropping walters by leading in songs.
