Washington promptly accepted mem

this year by Messrs Hepburn and Fen

cept with singular pleasure the ensign
OF so worthy fraternity as that OF
the Sons of st. Patrick, in this city-a
society distinguished for the nrm ad-
herence OF It's members to the glorious
cause IN which we are embarked. Give
me leave, to assure you that I shall
never cast my eye upon this badge witt,
which I am honored, but with a erate-
ful remembrance of the polite and af-
fectionate manner in which 1t was pre-
sented." Washington was a guest of
the society, with his staff, on January
l. 1882, and again on the following st.
Patrick's Day, with more than a dozen
OF his major officers.

900 children have come Of toy age since
prewar Christmases. Manufacturers
don't expect to be able to fill Santa S
pack as it should be filled until Christ
mas, 1916.
They'll Be Gone
Some improvement in toy quality is
forecast, as the old-line manufacturers
reconvert. and wartime experience in
the use of cardboard. paper and wood
finishing becomes apparent. But again,
only the foresighted early shopper will
find them. BY the time the last-minute
buying rush is under way, better quality
toys probably will be gone.
H. L. Trisch, general manager Of the
A. C. Gilbert Co., New Haven, Conn.,,
also points out that some manufacturers
have been able to scrape up enough
stock to finish thousands of incomplete
assemblies stored away when Mars drove
Santa OH the production line. But
peace did not come in time to allow
for the designing and production Of new
toy lines, and the toymakers had to
dust OF the dies, molds and patterns of
the old standbys.
Profit and loss, OPA approval and ma
terial or labor shortages won't mean
much to Junior, who's been waiting i've
years to send Santa letter that can
be answered with anything but prom
ise. Better tell him that Santa's help
ers went of to war, and didn't get back
in time to finish everything for this
year. But tell him the North Pole is
going to be busy place from now on.
Next year you probably will need less
explanations and more money.

the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp,
are the doors to and from this rich
empire.

ton because 1t has been, three times in
the last rs years. the arsenal and forage
and laboratory that sustained German
aggression. From the bitter experience
of the past century, Europe might write
an alliterative equation: Reich plus
Ruhr equals ruin.
Brought Ruin
The latest attempt at world domina-
ton backfired and brought ruin to the
Ruhr. Virtually everything above the
surface was blasted, fired, scared and
twisted in one of the most thorough
going preatomic bombing campaigns.
Essen, home of the notorious Krupps,
and Dusseldorf and Cologne were worst
hit of the areas largest cities.
But coal mines are hard to bomb, and
coal is the basis of Ruhr wealth.
Shortly after We day survey showed
about three-fourths of the areas nu-
merous mines in working order-most of
them damaged slightly. Technical
executives, left in charge of bombed
factories when the industrialist-ow
fled, told American and British officers
that with an Allied o. K. most of the
mills and factories could be repaired in
short order. One plant had actually
prepared an exhibit, with labels in Eng
lish, showing the peacetime articles the
company could turn out.
Many plans have been advanced for
the Ruhr,s eventual peacetime role.
Some groups insist on its separation
from the rest Of Germany and its estab-
lshment under international control.
Others favor somewhat Carthaeinian
settlement: In this case, dismantling
the factories and shipping them as
reparation to victor nations, leaving the
Ruhr to farm for a living as it did 100
years ago. A third plan would allow
the area to rebuild and resume produc-
tion under strict Allied supervision that
would permit no switch to war goods.

within the British zone of occupation.

The youngsters are going to get the
short end of this first peacetime Christ
mas in five years.
While their elders rejoice over nylons,
radios and the like, the kids will have
to be content with just about the same
kind of toys they received last year.
The sad truth is that the toy situa-
ton hasn't improved much. The over
all national supply picture forecast by
manufacturers adds up to duplicate of
last year. with about the same longed-
for items missing from store shelves.
Even though metal restrictions were
relaxed after VI day, less than per
cent Of the toys In Santa's As pack will
be metal, says James L. Fri, managing
director of the toy manufacturers of the
U. S. A.. They'll cost more, too,
for the OPA has granted a IA per cent
increase in price ceilings. The only
metal toys expected in any volume will
be the simplest types Of stamped out
playthings.
For the Early Shopper
Just q trickle of bicycles and tricycles
in normal production about two
months-is expected, and only the early
shopper will find one. Doll carriage
supplies will be about so per cent of the
prewar normal. Token showings of
wheel toys, electric trains and mechanic
cal toys will only make the Christmas
shopper jealous Of the lucky few who
get them.
Plastic toys are expected to be about
double last years supply. The doll stu
alton Is about the same, with textile re-
strictions continuing to limit output.
Rubber toys are not expected in any
quantity, but there will be a limited
amount of synthetic rubber products.
Even If toy stocks were to increase
