CHICAGO, December Avery phase
of progress from miniature golf to i'm
provements in refrigeration is mirrored
in toys this year.
T'oyland, said the buyer in one large
department store today, is adult life in
the miniature, and it is becoming
more SO.
For example, keeping up the dolls ap-
pearance has advanced from the white
dress and-blue-sash stage to an extern
sive wardrobe, including pink silk step
ms, party frockS. sweaters, raincoatS
and hats. The doll shoe departments
are showing sport and dress patterns
just like those of the little owner.
Styles in dolls themselves have
changed. The golden-haired express
sionless doll that closed its eyes when
laid on its back and said "M-mama" if
punched in the right section of its
anatomy has given away to dolls that
look like live little boys, girls and
babies.
Furnishing a doll house makes interior
decorators out of the parents, for in
purchasing they are confronted with
all sizeS of furniture, the entire array
of which resembles miniature furni-
ture store. The doll house can be COM
pletely furnished down to the sponge in
the bath room and not overlooking the
clock on the kitchen wall.

Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

Suppose you were a modern
working girl
With a good job and a neat
little nestegg saved up
And the usual dreams Of a
rosy future
Then suddenly along came A
Young Man
The most wonderful young
man on earth
But, unfortunately, almost the
poorest!
Yet, nevertheless, you Topped.
Forgot all about your job and
your future; .
Went simply loco with love
And, before you knew it, you
were planning, when
Then what would you do
next?
Would you sit tight until the

Would you tuck your money
safely away and say: Its, up

Or would you dig toyfully

What does it matter whose
money it is as long as we both
love? 'Tenyrate, IT'S as much

Which would you do? Margie

letter:
DEAR MISS ROBINSON:
Here is problem several of
US want you to settle.
There's a girl who is going
to get married. She is a
bright, hard working girl and
she has saved quite a bit of
money. Should she share that
money with her husband,
helping him furnish the house
If he hasn't a cent?
My opinion is that the girl
should keep her own money
until she is sure that she can
trust her husband to use it
wisely. There are many cases
where the woman gives the
man her money-then after
he gets 1t he leaves her flat.
I think It is wise to find out

During the next two years a
great scientific exploration and
investigation of Greenland will
focus the eyes Of the world upon
that bleak, inhospitable and
.perilous region.
A party of 20 scientists. in
cluding geologists, meteorolo-
gists and engineers from the
German Aeronautical Research
Bureau will spend a year and a
half in intensive investigation.
No one has ever spent winter
on the inland ice of Greenland.
The present party, equipped by
the German Scientific Research
Society, will establish three sta
tions for wintering in Green
land, one on each edge Of the
ice field and one in the very
center, on a line joining The
other two stations.
The mysterious Greenland to
be studied is a giant island girt
by a great chain Of irregular
mountains some 5000 feet nigh,
The inside of the island is
mighty depression, in area four
times the size of Germany. Iii

MARGIE H.
Perhaps just a careless letter
from q giggly kid, but how Vt
reflects the changing world!
when before in the worlds his
tory did a girl have money OF
her own making to give-or
keep? When was she able to
put her man on trial? When
could she safeguard her future
by keeping an ace up her
sleeve? And is it well for her
that she can do these things
now?
will she gain, or lose, by this
new independence? And what
do you think of this idea Of
giving a man your body and
your heart, when you can't
quite trust him with your
purse?
And how about the man?
When, before, has a man had
to stand on trial? When has
he had to measure up to his
wife'S code and compete with
her efficiency? 80
And what of marriage under
these new conditions? Mar
riage is bound to be different
you must admit that. Take
away all the old reasons for .
wornan's timidity and servlity,
take away all the old causes
of a mans complacency-and
what have you? The doom Of
marriage-or the salvation?
The end of love-or perhaps
the beginning of a true and fair
relationship between men and
women?
Which? What's your answer
to it all?
If YOU were that girl would
you save your money and put
your man on trial? Or give
him your complete trust with
your love? And if. you were
that man what would you want
your girl to do?

The Study of Greenland
Bu Archibald Henderson

Some Of these great ice blocks
draw hundreds Of feet Of water.
and their circumferences are
measured in miles. These break
up into the icebergs which are
constantly encountered in lanes
Of ocean travel.
The great puzzle which scien-
fists are now seeking to solve
is the mode of renewal Of this
great interior ice cone. So vast
is the amount Of ice preclpi
tated into the surrounding seas
that no adequate computation
of it is as yet possible.
These great glaciers which
are constantly forming and
pushing their way to the sea IL
lustrate a mysterious and baf-
fling problem in growth and
renewal. +
Many phases of scientific re-
search will be prosecuted in the
course of the exploration. Val
liable contributions to the SCI
ence of meteorology may be ex-
pected as a result of q careful
study of storm centers, air cur
rents and Of temperature
changes.
The findings in these respects
may go a long way toward en-
larging meteorological knowl-
edge and enabling meteorolo-
gists to supply adequate weather
forecasts over longeS periods Of
time.
Another important issue in
wolves the pressing problem
concerning finding way stations
for transatlantic flights.

Praise for Civil War
Museum at Fredericksburg


Editor, Times:
The other day I happened to
be in Fredericksburg, Va, that
city of historic American ShrineS
and after visiting Kenmore and
the Monroe Collection, I hap
pened into the National Battle
field Museum and as q Union
veteran I saw q collection OF
civil war relics that one could
not believe still existed in
America unless he saw for him
self.
Containing over $4,000 Sepa-
rate articles which have been
assembled for the past 80 years
or more with infinite patience,
time and expense this museum
contains the largest and most
interesting collection Of civil
war relics in America. This
museum should interest the
people. of the whole nation. It
contains articles of such variety
and value, so intimately related
to the late conflict that I felt
that time had pOlled back to
bare the story Of those frightful
days 'fraught with pathoS- and
pain but redoIent with grandeur
and glory. !.
It is fitting that these mute
mentors Of those dark and
dreadful days should find q
resting place in Fredericksburg.
