nothing would he done about it if
the aviators brought back IA few
bottles of the "rcal stuff when
they returned across the border.
While spectators and members of

iccred, the agents searched the
planes as they landed and from
some of the most unexpected places
they produced enough liquor cases
TO make quite fire behind the air
port hangar.
The shipowncrs who did not de
clare their liquors We're fined the
usual So u pint, but those who did
declare the goods were merely re
licvcd of it and dismissed. All the

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch-.


THE PROBLEM Of toys for
children is an ever-preSent one.
When we think Of a toy for
a girl we always think Of q doll
first. For q boy a mechanical
device comes to mind. Yet
whether it be q boy or girl there
is no question that children en-
joy much more toys Of their
own making.
A few oddly-Shaped stones
or q curved stick give children
as much pleaSure-oft more
than q complicated piece Of
toy mechanism.
It's the imagination that the
child adds to the toy, and not
the toy itself, that gives the
pleasure.
What should particularly be
stressed about toys, however, is
the avoidance Of those that
may do injury.
Each year children are killed
or manned because Of danger
Gus toys.
Boys have shot each other to
death at play.
Children have been strangled
while using the laSSo in q game
Of Indians or cowboys.
We do not wish to rob our
children Of virility, to be sure.
We do not want to make
our boys fearful little sissy
types, either.
A child may be happy with
. toy all by itself, but being
alone too much is not good for
the child. We may keep a
child quiet with q toy that
holds its interest and q child
thus amused may, be less an
noying to It's elders.
Nevertheless we must not for
get the social side Of q child
which needs development, also
its competitive spirit.
After all, an individuals sue
cess in life depends upon the
way he, as an individual, can
mingle with others and can
influence others.
Success in social relationships.
success In business depends to
q great extent upon such ability.
Therefore already In child
hood must we teach the little
ones the value Of give ana
take" how TO lead. how Il feels
