There are no patents pending On
the playthings she fashions in in
Struction classes under the Parent
Education schedule of the Cover
nor's Commission on Unemploy-
ment Relief.
If those toys were taken apart
and examined carefully, they would
reveal that they originally had been

and rag-bags.
Money Not Needed"
st am trying to show mothers
that they don't need money to teach
their children how to play Mrs.
Chriswell explains.
There is nothing in the home
that needs to be thrown away
Everything there can be utilized in
the home-manufacture of some use
full article or toy
Demonstrate this point, she
points to her dining room table, the
top of which is covered with IN
genious and colorful 'aythings
which would put the most modern
toy shop to shame.
Paint Cleans on Toys
A set of doll living-room furni-
ture CLEANS with bright paint There
is a divan, on which two paper-dou
ladies are seated, apparently con-
versing. Originally the divan Wa;
small candy box. At the piano
(Which once was cardboard boz
containing cleansing tissues) small
paper-doll girl is resting from prac-
ticing her music lesson. The sheet Of
music leans on rack which or
close observation proves to be a pa.
| per match folder.
The floor lamp near by is made
of the cardboard spool on which a
bolt of ribbon formerly was wrapped
The shade is made of the inside OF
Christmas envelope, pasted on a
piece of shaped cardboard
There is furniture for other rooms
of the doll house, all the results Of
Mrs. Chriswell's clever fingers. The
! gas stove is made of other card
board boxes, and the gas is turned
on, in make believe, of course. By
small keys which once opened sar-
dine cans.
More Use for Cardboard
Tiny cooking utensils have beer
made from round cardboard hoxes
and the dining table, which wa;
made of a corrugated box, is covered
with white crepe paper table cloth
and set with dishes also made OF
round cardboard boxes. The fooc
has been cut from advertisements
and in the cupboard at the side
there are other supplies.
Mrs ChrisWell has cut out houses
mounted them on cardboard, ano
with them quickly constructs a
miniature city residential section
From the automobile advertising
she has cut automobiles TO run
along the street in front of the
houses and paper children play
along the sidewalks.
At the corner is a filling station
all of paper and cardboard, with the
exception of the gas-tanks, which
are talcum powder boxes in dis
guiSe. A home made stop and &c
signal is in the center of the inter-
section.

children safety rules" she explains.
They can understand that they
should not disobey traffic signals
any more than they would want
their paper-dolls to-"
Mrs ChriSwell began her work
when her own daughter was small
child. Two years later she took a
kindergarten course, and later
taught in the Grand Rapids (Mich)
kindergartenS for "a years.
Mrs. Chriswell began her classes
for the GCUR in October. and now
teaches daily classes at Schools 33,
IL, 80, % and 80. and at the Merid-
ian Heights Presbyterian Church.
Only Sideline
Toy making is really only a side
line of the course which am giving
the mothers she explains. In adj
dition. we have study classes on
family and home relationships: the
use of money and budgets and leis-
ure time activities.
But the mothers have been so
enthusiastic over this home manu-
featuring, that We have enlarged on
it."
In the last few weeks. Mrs. Chris
we'll has been demonstrating in adj
dition to the making of home de
toys, making Christmas gifts and
tree trimmings.
No Sodas Needed
Ice-cream soda Straws have beer
cut in inch long strips, and strung
alternately with round colored pieces
OF paper, for tree trimmings. Mrs.
Chriswell has taught mothers and
children to make Christmas bells
and Christmas greeting cards. Tin
boxes which originally held medi-
cine have been laquered and decora-
ted, for stamp boxes and pin trays.
She has taught the mothers to
make games for their children, by
placing nails in a board, marking
them with scoring numbers, and us
ing canning rubbers to toss over
them in a mock horseshoe game.
If she were to be asked 10 give
mothers and children motto by
which to live in depression days, she
probably would point to the things
made of discarded materials.
Waste not, want not" Mrs.
Chriswell would say. Not even for
entertainment"

A Declaration Of Rights Of the American Youth

Following is the text of the De,
claratiOn of the Rights of Ameri-
can Youth, adopted at the Second
American Youth Congress in De-
trOit On July 4.
On the Fourth of July 1859 wears
ago our forefathers declared their,
independence from despotic rule in
order to realize their inalienable
rights of life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness.
Today our lives are threatened
by war; our liberties threatened bv
reactionary legislation; and our
right to happiness remains illusorv
IN a world of insecurity.
Therefore, on this fourth dav of
July 1885, we, the Young People
OF America, in congress assembled
announce our own declaration-"A
declaration of the Rights of Amer
lean Youth"
We declare that our generation
IS rightfully entitled to a useful
creative and happy life, the guar
antees of which are: full educa-
uonal opportunities, steady en-
ployment at adequate wages, Sc
curity in time of need, civil rights
and peace.
We have a right to live.
Yet we are threatened by wars
that are even now being prepared
by those who profit by destruction
wars from which we can reap no
thing but misery, mutilation and
death. We oppose this war and its
trappings of militarized youth and
mounting ornaments. We do not
want to diel We assert our right
to maintain peace.
We have right to liberty.
