5-Handwork materials leading to
arts and crafts.
6-Games that develop skill and
encourage play with other children.
But your selection should also be
guided by the table of values es-
tablished by the same experts. The
correct toys for your youngster
should meet these requirements:
durability.
assimilation of self-activity.
3-Correct toy for the given age.
4Principles of aesthetics.
5-Sanitation and hygiene.
Zippered Teddy Bear!
The latter factor is stressed by
modern toy makers. For the very
young child only vegetable dyes are
used. Sharp corners have been
eliminated and dangling appendages
(too easily detached and swallowed)
are taboo. There is emphasis on
forms and materials that can be
kept scrupulously clean. Even ted
dy bears are now made with a zip
pered skin that can be removed and
Numbered, while many wood toys
can also be washed.
While adhering to these scientific
principles, toy makers have not for
gotten that their young customers
are primarily interested in being en-
tertained. For example, it's much
better for a child to develop muscle
and coordination through a foot
propelled vehicle Qike a toy auto
mobile or tricycle) than by calls
themes.
Similarly, in the most pleasant
way possible, toys reveal talents
and aptitudes, often overcoming de-
ficiencies. This is particularly true
of the sense developers, elementary
handcraft materials, musical and
rhythmic toys, and all materials for
simple graphic arts like crayons,
water colors and printing sets.
Tested Under Fire.
Every toy that finds its way to the
Christmas tree this year might well
bear the label, "Child Tested and
Approved" After the inventor and
child psychologists have perfected
them, the playthings find their
way to nursery and sand pile for
thorough trial before being manu-
featured in quantity lots. First, the
experimenters want to discover
whether their toy can stand up un-
der hard wear. Second, it must hold
interest long after the novelty stage
has passed, which was one serious
fault with the toys yesterdays chill
dren received each Christmas. By
New Years day they had usually
been consigned to the closet.
BY additional experimentation
they discover what age group most
enjoys the toy, and it is manufac-
tured accordingly. Many large
stores are segregating their toy dis
plays by ages this year, boon to
the uninitiated uncle or aunt who
doesn't know whether three-year-
old girl should have a dress-up doll
or just a plain rag baby.
AS for the toy makers, they're
happy about the whole thing. Says
James L. Fri, managing director of
the Toy Manufacturers of the Unit
ed States: SPY increasing the pur-
posefulness of playthings, their i'm
aginative appeal and educational
value have been greatly enhanced,
and consequently the market for
toys has steadily broadened."

Fat and Vitamin D

One of the strangest paradoxes
to the scientists in their early
investigations was the fact that
while cod-liver oil appeared to cure
ricketts,, another substance high in
fat-butter fat, did not. More re-
search work was necessary before
it was discovered that while but
ter was rich in vitamin A, cod
liver oil contained two vitamins,
one of which was later named
vitamin D.

Need for Calcium and Phosphorus

The two principal minerals re-
quired for constructing the bones
and teeth are calcium, obtained
chiefly from milk, cheese and
green leafy vegetables, and phos-
phorus, found in generous amounts
in eggs, whole grain cereals and
dried legumes. But one of the
things that made it so difficult for
scientists to determine the cause
of ricketts, was the fact that appar-

Mystery Of Cod-Liver Oil

Cod-liver oil had been used for
many years because of its sup
posedly ''tonic" or building"
properties, when it was observed
that regular doses of cod-liver
oil not only cured ricketts, in chill
dren, but also cured the CORE
spending disease in adults, called
osteomalacia, in which the bones
become soft as the calcium and
phosphorus already deposited in
them are withdrawn and excreted.

Natural Food Sources of Vifamin D

The richest natural sources of
vitamin D are the fish-liver oils,
including the liver-oil of the tuna.
swordfish, rock fish, salmon, hall
but, mackerel, cod and haddock.
The body oils of many fish also
furnish substantial amounts. That
accounts for the fact that canned
salmon has been regarded as such
a splendid food in the diet of chill
dren and adults. It is not only a
good source of protein and of en-
ergy values, but it contains SUBJ

calcium, phosphorus and iodine,
