"U'eakadle- and "unb'eakadle." meaidnn tlureby thore that must be handled carefullj' and tlioso thnt ".vi 11 tand V.Rninj; around. The "h'eakadle" one;, needless to sny. are inthe majority, despite earnest, 'onff-continued efforts on the part of her parents to provide her with an unbreakable outfit. If dne look as if there was less horse sense u.-ed In the manufacture of children's toys than in any other industry. Kverybody knows that if there is any possible way to break a playthinp, a little boy or pirl will break It. Children are naturally "ruuhhouser," as reckless, careless and jdven to unthinking deatruction as any other younjr animals. Anything they are to p!ay with more than a day or two must be adapted to standing hard knocks and resisting the efforts of little hands to take it apart. That is to pay. there must be simplicity and durability no screws to come looe easily, or nails to pull rut easily, or material to tear or crack or smash with ordinary usupp. It i highly desirable, too, from tire standpoint of the parents, that there be no sharp points, corners or edsres to scratch the floors and furniture; but this particular pi'ce of moralizing has to do merely with those matters that concern the children themselves?. They get their toys, they are delighted with them then the toys unaccountably pro to places. There Is weeping: and wailinp:. and there are no nurre toys to play with, until others just as flimsy are provided to be smashed in their turn. It la unfair to th children, not to mention1 the parents who pay the bills. Children love simple, ftrona; things, which they can manhandle as they like, and which irive free play to their imagination. They love them all the more as the toys become old and battered ami m;ly. They ouuht to have what they want. Tnese facts have a very practical bearing nov that the holiday season is coming. The. Christinas loys are said to !io a little 1 ss trashy this year. I'ar;it.. by making a special effort, may be able to obtain simple, durable things a they used to. And with the reform once '-tarted, there may ! ;i gradual transformation of the whole toy industry

NAMING OUR LANGUAGE. An editorial in the American legion Weekly tiroes : change in the name of the i:tnuae used in tho I'nited States. The writer points out that there are many accepted words which h ive been coined in this country, fhete are also differences in accent and UKiM' between the l.mfruagt as spoken on this jdd of the Atlantic ar. 1 in Creat Urltain. "Why not." the writer concludes, "quit press-afcentir.cr John Iiull a?oi have our own language the American langiaie?" There is one ditf.i ulty her which the wiiter overlooked. That is the looseness of the meaning of "American." We in thi country like to consider ourselves the only, original Americans. Yet during the war so many resemblances were discovered between the Canadian troojvs and ours that persons discussing-them in comparison with Kuropean troops frequently clashed the tighters from both the groat North American democracies as "'Airier icans." Then there are all the South Americans Their v.aya and manners are very different from those of the) northern continent, but they are at the same time different from those of the Ivarcpean parent countries. And in Jhe old world they are frequently looked upon as "American As a more complete understanding and harmoni-ms relationship is established between the two Americas this similtritv will

Things that are aappenin; in Inriin. quite coincident vrith the temporary .lejeat of the I'aris treaty jiiiJ league of Nations in Washington, may have an international significance or tb.ey may not, as for Instance, take thf return of Field Mitshal von Hindenburg to the Otrnun capital. It is not notable in itsdf and the popular ent,huiatm which punctuated his arrival is not surprising, notwithstanding ;h- contrast in the j?ople. the country, and the old military idol, since they Uit met. b it wbiit is worth comm'-nt is the bustling activity of the ribrrt-Scheblerrnr.n regime to make the old warri-T of th 1 Hihenzo'.:. rn dynasty appear a awic national pguie. rtat rare was taken to em-

"ORDINARY PEOPLE'S CHILDREN." 'durational circles in Kngland are stlrrel by a genuine sensation. The little daughter of a cabinet minister has started to attend a public fchool, as wo should call it, although it is known there as the "Middlesex Country School for Girls." Children of her position, both boys and girls, are accustomed to receive their education at fashionable private schools. The oddest contribution to the discussion which this innovation has inspired is furnished by the' chairman of the local board of education, who declares that since the cabinet minister receives a large salary, he should send hla daughter to a nioro exclusive establishment and leave the public school "to ordinary people's children.'' To which the minister replies that finding; the latter to be "the best school in the district," he wishes his daughter to have every' possible advantage. An English authcr, visiting Washington some years ago, was surprised to find three of Pres't Roosevelt's children attending a public school. And watching the boys In their sports on the playground during roee.s he was speedily convinced that th Koosevelt youngsters were held in no special awe by their companions when he saw them giving and receiving blows in a strenuous STlmmage. "Ordinary people's children," and extraordinary people's too, attend our public schools without loss of prestige, and it ought to be possible to make the experiment in Kngland as well without undermining the foundations of the British constitution.

PREPARE INCOME STATEMENTS NOW. Announcement by the treasury department that Income tax blanks will soon be mailed to all who made returns in 191 is a hint to citizens to put their house in order for the 1920 report- The confusion which overwhelmed the average man Ia.?t winter as he vainly endeavored to recall the details of the moneys he had received during the year should not be repeated. By starting now to keep a rigid tabulation of inccme and outgo, and by reviewing now the months already passed, every man can make compilation of his tax statement a comparatively simple matter. If the Income tax has benefited th people of the United .States in one way more than another. It is in compelling millions to keep a tally on their finances. Undoubtedly, more families are today "keeping books" around the family table than ever. It is a good habit, and make for thrift.

RAT DAY. One result of the national anti-rat propaganda s-cms to Le a popular impression that the rat population has teen pretty nearly exterminated. Tnls in not true. Words hae been tauen for deeds- Tnere hr.s been great slaughter, indeed, in the last 'few ye.tis. in various enlightened communities, but there has been no concerted, systematic action such as the situation calls for. There are still as many rats as people in the United States, and that is at least ICC. 000, 00-0 more rats than there ought to be. Twenty-eight Indiana counties did their duty recently, with a special "rat day" on which several hundred thousand rodents are said to have been abolished. There is a demand now that there be a ' rat day" every year. There ought to be, in Indiana and in every other state in the Union. It would save hundreds of millions of dollars a year in food eaten and destroyed, and in tires, miscellaneous ruin and the spread of contagious diseases among animals and people.

Toledo manifests considerably more eagerness to Ret back its .street cars than it did to keep them when it had them.

Tin-: ni:w roirriiY. (KIkluirt Review That rcw at the Contemporary club in Philadelphia will ?lve the "new poetry" the best advertisement it has ever had and induce people to read or try to read it who otherwise would have sidestepped such intellectual labor. Miss Amy Lowell of Boston, sifter of the president of Harvard, a woman of position, means and brains, is the high priestess of the new poetry's fane. Not content with adorning' the magazi: with her "vers libre" (free verse), she rocs about preaching to literary circles that the poetry of the past was a sad mistake and that the nt'wvrticle which she writes and stands for is the only genuine tiling. At the Contemporary club in Philadelphia, where she recently appeared, her view was questioned with more or less beat. Some of the criticism she encountered there was perfectly courteous :. nd some of It wasn't. So Miss Lowell, who appears to be liberally endowed with "temperament." burst into tears, intimated that many in her audience didn't "know any better" and departed in "high dudgeon." Miss IowclI is Mid to describe herself as a past mistress in The art of throwing hand grenadee rmcng sleepy old ladies. In other words, the new poetry is startling enough to make the rut-worn mind sit up and take notice. It discards not only rhyme but rhythm, being nothing but prose strung along in lines of irregular length. Hut it is extraordinary prwse, aimed to startle by its boldness as well as to nr. stlfy by lta indefinite thought and. disconnected imagery. Obviously It is an exaggeration of the Walt Whitman idea, and undoubtedly after its little hour of flag waving and shouting, it will go the VdLv cf other forgotten literary fads

The coal shortage seems to be acute with the street car company. The cars are cold enough for Heller to sell them for refrigerators.

Heckanian. the subjeck of this serious. Ono there was an ole lady, accordin to Mister Fox's version, who had a daughter what was a beaut for a kid. but of coarse that haint got nuthln' to do with the yarn. We don't remember the ole lady's name but the girl's title was Pet. Well Pel's mother wanted some milk so she sent the girl acrost tho street with a pitcher to get some. She g ive the girl a thin dime by which to make the purchase. Pet came back efter while an sez she dropt the pitcher and broke it and lost the dime. The mother gave her a bran new outfit, pitcher and dime an all, and sent her agin. By and by Pet comes back agin and sez she broke the pitcher and lost the dime. Her mother being a kind an indulgent ole gink gires her another pitcher and a other dime. Well you wood not hardly belief but Pet comes back agin and makes the same kind of a report that she lost the dime and broke the pitcher. The mother give her anuther pitcher an a dime and told her woodnot she be more keerful this time. Pet sez she wood that it wood be a plasure an a lot of other bull like that. The old gray hair mother weighted and weighted and was utmost reddy to give up in dispare agin when who ghould heave in sight but Pet who sez she dropt the pitcher and broko It and lost the dime. Pet's mother was a very patient woman but she begin to show the marks of aggravation by this time, accordin to Mister Fox's version. She s?z to her daughter sez she "If you break another pitcher an lose another 10 cent piece when you come back i am goin to kill you." Well Mister Fox sez the girl come back after a little an sez she broke
