New Ideas In Toyland

What is a toy? Our tariff makers in 1890 defin-
ed it as IAN article chiefly used for the amusement
of children, whether not also suitable for physical
exercise or for mental Development and voted 90
per cent ad valorem duty toys to aid our Infant
industry" Others from time to time have attempted
to decide this burning question But actually every
toy buyer is an innocent ISLANDER in civil war be-
tween the old and the new school Of toy makers
The old school believed in the Romance of Child
hood-all those quaint toys that wound up with
s spring and jigged Some 80 per cent Of them came
from the romantic city of Nuremberg The new school
dismisses these as valuess novelties it believes in
science. Toys should suggest to child something to
do It studies what the child enjoys It knows that
children up to two years prefer yellow from three
to four red and after that blue It approves all toys
and wheel goods (scooters, veocipedes) from which
child acquires muscular activity and ingenuity.
Toymakers are familiar with the "cuddly in
stinc and provide soft dolls for little girls and wool
y animals for little boys They also believe childs
social relations improved by blocks
And the toymaker's customers are parents, not
children who in the selection Of toys are at their
worst-for their parental love suspends their sense

November OF a gentleman who bought $4,000 set

these vivid statistics Of the colossal achievement OF
France in her efforts to repair her war-devasted
land
"When the Allied and German armies marched
out Of France in 1918 there lay waste about 100000
in ten of Frances richest provinces, according
to a recent official report An area Of 375,0O0,OOO
square metres was planted with barbed wire and
guttered with trenches The population in this area
had diminished from 4790183 inhabitants in 1914 to
2,075067 IN 1918.
On the Aisne, the Meurthe-et-M osee and the
Vosges the factories were completely wiped out.
Eighty-three per cent of the agricultural land was
rendered useless. And the mines had been flooded
with some 100000 cubic metres of water
"The French people have courageousy given
new life to their broken country Population in the
provinces is back to the normal figure The water has
been pumped from the mines Railroads and canals
have been repaired The French government has spent
approximately 8550O,OO0,O00 francs of which 25,
