Keep Toys From
 Baby's Mouth

Since g baby wants to put every thing in his mouth, his toys must be those that can be used safely in this way. They should be washable and should have no sharp points or corners to hurt the eyes. Painted articles or hairy and woolly toys. alho toys having loose parts, balls of other objects small enough to be swallowed are unsafe and should never be given small child. '7 le- . -'.9
 A baby should never have too many toys at one time. A handful of clothespins, a silver teaspoon or a tin cup will please just as much as an expensive doll brother toy. It is a good plan to have box or basket to keep the empty spools and other objects with which the baby may play. ss.ssg., 9's, s5ss. .'.

 A Grim Certainty s9s:.s
 This spring and summer there will be exactly 75s children drowned in. the rivers here. There will be almost as many killed in the streets. f .-;s
 I've watched and counted in other, years. There is no. reason to believe this year will be any dif- ferents s: :,gsSS:i5
 Last year after a struggle a few. good citizens did get a small ssap. propriation for a few extra play grounds.
 Also swimming pool was ada ed here and there to those. few the city already boasted.
 I believe every city has had the same experience. Handouts to the children is a sort of back.door Sop to conscience, and that is all 1t amounts to.
 Why cannot city-councils see that times have changed, and that children now haven't half a. chance with those of twenty or thirty years ago? Not on account of dam ger in the streets any more than the fact that they have no more back yards to play in. Property is higher. building lots are shrinking, garages gorge them selves on land the children used to run in.
 What we need isn't a playground here and there, but dozens of small neighborhood parks, a. park a couple of hundred feet square in every other block It cannot be done all at once but start could be made. Ola buildings could be bought in by the city and torn down, the land then leyeled and sewn with grass seed. and that's .all-except few concrete paths

 Pools Need Not Be Large.
 The same with swimming polos. They needn't be elaborate, they needn't be arge-concrete pools with flowing water to keep the children away from river banks and docks.
 It makes me furious to see city money spent on every sort of ini- provement except the most vital of all. we've gotten 1t into our heads that the only tax money that may be diverted to children must be put into handsome school build.
 ;: think our first duty is to keep the children alive ana well with "a chance for normal gowth. We have deprived them of their birth- right-trees ana country and How CTS and birds and sky and fresh air, and showed them out onto six feet of coifcrete. ss
 It's as little as we can los. nov to hand 1t back with an apology, as far aseWe are able. S <
 Hundreds of little parks, hum dreds of little poolsl There's city for you! If we begin such a program this year. ten years will tell a big story. One thing more. Children cannot go alone to the big parks. They are too far away. They are not. an answer at all.

 The scaool for treatment of the eye trouble is one of the 40 class rooms provided for the instruction of undcrprivileged, or physically handicapped children in Kansas City.
 Dr Morris Clark, specialist in charge of trachoma work, makes his rounds .n the elementary schools pe- riodically. When pupil has in- famed eyclids, first symptom of trachoma, it's business for Mrs Barr. The pupil must either attend her school, maintained jointly by the city and school board, or retire to a pri- vate institution.
 Special privileges, individual a,- tention, treatment of the adment-- all appeal to the pupil, and when the time comes to go back to regu- lar classrooms, tears are often in evidence, Mrs Barr said.
 Besides serving in full capacity as nurse, Mrs Barr teaches all nec- essary grades from one through seven.
 When the school was established eight years ago.. 150 children were enrolled. So successful has the treatment been that the number has dwindled to l3.

ONLY CHILD
 HAS CHAMPION

Lincoln, Neb-The "only chiid.'' long the butt of criticism and ridi- cule, at last has a champion--in the person of Dr D. A. Worcester of the University of Nebraska.
 In almost every talent, character istic. and habit, the professor of edu- cational psychology, finds the only child superior to those from fam flies with numerous offspring.
 Two public schools here, with their pupils. were the laboratories for Worcester's experiments and tests. His statistics show that the single child tops his piaymates in personal orderliness, cleanliness, de- probability. industry. truthfulness and self-control.
 The mental alertness of the single child js far in the lead of that where Mary. Bill, Tom and Jim asked the same dad for pennies.

BANDITS MULCT
MERCHANTS

FOOCHOW, June 2.-Now that
the entire personnel of the Fukien
provincial government has re-
signed and departed for Shanghai
because of inability to finance an
administration. Foochow mer.
chants have had to surrender to
the extortionate demands of the
bandits who hold both banks Of
the Min River around the city Of
Suikou.
For time. when provincial SOL
diers were still under discipline,
launches and small steamers were
able to run the gauntlet Of the
bandit territory, but there have
been large deSertions from the
army and now the bandits are so
veil equipped with light artillery
that they are able to sink any YES
sells that attempt to go up or down
river without paying tribute.
Merchants in Foochow and in
cities up-river have, therefore,
agreed with the bandits on a regu-
lar scale of payment for safe pas
sage. It is estimated that fully
two-thirds of Fukien province is
now indisputably in the hands Of
bandits or Communists.

California Divorce
Rate Is Increasing

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2.
NumerologiSts or other devotees
of esoteric cults may find an ex-
planatibn for the curious fact that
marriages and divorces in this
state last year moved in exactly
the same ratio but in opposite d.
rections. The statistics for 1880,
just published by the State vel
fare department, show an increase
Of 3.3 per cent in divorces over
1929, and precisely the same de-
crease in the number of marriages.
If the business depression ac-
counts for the marriages falling
off from 51,886 to 50.124. some
other cause will have to account
for the divorces increasing from
$4,000 to 15,603.

summonses charging him wis.a
intent to deceive shareholders.
Lord Kylsant denied all charges,

He alleged Kylsant drew large
