GEORGIA GROUP
TO WASHINGTON
Invasion Has Brought South
ern Patronage Control
Fight Up Again

WASHINGTON. May 2-tPi-In-
vasion of the national capitol by
a group of Georgia republicans ana
democrats prominent In the Hoov-
er campaign last year has brought
the whole southern patronage con-
troll fight into the open again.
Apparently the Georgians are
here intent on obtaining a show
down as between the organizations
set I'D by Howle "A. Mann. who d.
rected the presidents campaign In
half a dozen southern states, and
the group OF party leaders here
who have been designated general
ly. though unofficially. as the ad-
ministration committee on patron
age control.
There Is much conjecture
whether the president himself will
take a hand in the controversy. or
whether the old Mann organiZa-
ton is to 60 down before the new
machinery set up under the direc-
tiOn of Postmaster General Brown
in consultation with Walter New
ton. administrative assistant TO
the president. and James Francis
Burke. general counsel of the re-
publican national committee.
After talk late yesterday with
Mr.. Newton, the Georgians had an
engagement today to discuss the
situation with the postmaster
general.

By Constance Cameron

With the amazing display OF
really workable, educational
toys which are on the market
today. there seems to be no
excuse for loading children up
with flimsy, wind-up affairs
which break after the first
two or three times Of use.
l had occasion to visit the
toy department Of a medium
sized store recently and was
struck with the really good as
sortment of playthings that
were offered. There was a
notable absence of fragile,
meaningless gee-gaws and an
abundance of real playthings.
And by real playthings I mean
toys which suggest activities to
a child. Good toys are those
about which a youngster imme-
diately says: Let's do" so-and-
so with 1t.
Blocks are old stand-bys and
even though child has some,
an addition of more, and larger
ones will be welcome. Get large
blocks, particularly if you are
buying for a small child.
And when you buy dolls,
which are also standard and
welcome gifts, ponder upon the
size of the child for whom you
are buying. Very tiny girls get
a great deal more pleasure out
of medium-siZed doll zone
that is small in comparison to
themselves than they do from
the enormous ones almost as
large as the child herself.
And when you buy a doll, be
sure you get one whose clothes
are not sewed fast to 1t. For
the first impulse of a tiny
mother Is to undress and dress
her child An additional set of
clothes. cap and sweater for
the airing, will be good place
for the extra money you had
intended putting into great
big doll. A small doll which is
soft and Of a size easily han
died. along with extra clothing,
will suggest hours Of activity for
small girl.
I do rot favor mechanical
toys very much, except of
course TIE time-honored train
OF cars" And who wouldn't
be enthrdlled with the exact
reproductions of trains which
are now available? They range
from inexpensive ones UP to
