MODERN TOYS MORE COMPLEX CHICAGO, Dec. 17.—The shop windows of Chicago, crammed with toys in preparation for Xmas demonstrate convincingly that little Boy Blue lived today he would have turned up his small nose at the little toy dog and the little tin soldier, with their dust and rust. The toymakers—and who, better than they, know what youngsters want?—are of the opinion that the Little Boy Blues and their sisters of the present desire a certain refinement and elaboration in their playthings. Simplicity has ceased to be their motif. They make no more efforts to interest the young in little tin millers who climb poles with sacks of flour atop their heads or in cast-iron fire engines whose prancing steeds are doomed to a life of paralysis while at full gallop. The children, it seems, recognize these are stupid, silly and unworthy of a burgeoning intelligence. The excited youngster who immediately after breakfast on Dec. 25, used to traddle out his new, shining red "racer" automobile with its simple ratchet crank and lights only painted on and pedal frum and down in great glee usually materred into a man who shaved himself and was happy in three rooms, kitchen and bath. MARRY IN OWN CLASS, IS ADVICE WATERTOWN, N. Y., Dec. 17.—"Merry in your own class if you would insure married happiness." That is the advice offered today by the Rev. Dr. George F. Shepherd, pastor of the Asbury Methodist Episcopal church of this city, and one of the best-known divines of that denomination in New York state. America can eradicate the divorce evil by observing three things, the clergyman declares. "My first suggestion is, do not fear poverty," he says. "Too many of our young people think it is necessary for them to start in SUN-TATTOOING FIRST AID TO CUPID FAIR BATHERS AT MIAMI START FA The latest fad among the fair bathers at Miami, Fla., is sun-tattooing. With the aid of a simple process bathers can "tan" their initials or those of their sweet-hearts on their shoulders, arms or limbs. What makes the fad more popular is that the tattooing lasts but a few days. It has been suggested that hubbies propose to their wives, however, that they tattoo a ball and chain around their necks as indicative of their marital state. The photo shows two water nymphs there decorated with sun-kissed initials. That is the advice offered today by the Rev. Dr. George F. Shepherd, pastor of the Asbury Methodist Episcopal church of this city, and one of the best-known divines of that denomination in New York state. America can eradicate the divorce evil by observing three things, the clergyman declares. "My first suggestion is, do not fear poverty," he says. "Too many of our young people think it is necessary for them to start in where their parents left off. It is not necessary when you start in on your married life to have four or five well-furnished rooms, with Turkish rugs on the floor. It would be better for a good many of them to start in with a rag on the floor, an old cookstove and a few stools, and build up their own home through hard work." RELIEVED BOY'S COUGH Mrs. L. Van Belle, Pendroy, Mont., writes: "I like your Cough Medicine very well. My little boy, 6 years old, had a very bad cough, and after using FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR COMPOUND he secured relief." For coughs, colds and hoarseness there is no better remedy on the market today than FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR COMPOUND. It has stood the test of time, serving three generations.

ANAHEIM TO CUPID MIAMI START FAD UNUSUAL PLEAS TO PARDON BOARD HARRISBURG, Dec. 17.—The state board of pardons for most of the cases that come before it is in reality a "court of last appeal." Its monthly sessions attract much publicity, but fewer spectators than any judicial body to which the public is admitted. It has the power of life and death, as well as of freedom; for the governor of the state can act only in accord with its recommendations, and pleas for presidential clemency are few. The pardon board, originally intended to rectify possible errors in the ordinary administration of justice, is fast becoming the clearing house for clemency pleas of every description. The ordinary pleas upon which pardon petitions are based are stereotyped enough. "Falling health," "sufficiently punished" and "hopes to become a useful member of society" are the stock phrases which never fail to appear in the scores of cases heard at each sitting. Yet each session also produces some new or unusual pleas, which are advanced by counsel for the applicants as reasons for their release. At a recent session the board was asked to pardon a man who since his imprisonment has gained fame as a poet; another man who has inherited $80,000 since his sentence, and a woman who brought disgrace to her husband, who now has promised to re-marry her if the board will lift the prison bars. FIRST DRY LAW MAY BE MYTHICAL HARTFORD, Conn., Dec. 17.—If the records of English newspapers in the case are authentic, which some doubt, the spirit of prohibition was active in America long before Mr. Volstead first saw the light. A New England jurist, returning recently from London, reported having read the following in a British publication, which GOT LOTS, NOT MAN MODESTO, Dec. 17.—Charging that Mrs. Anita P. Tolbert, formerly Mrs. A. P. Blevins, tricked him out of deeds to four lots in Denair on a promise to marry him and then went through the wedding ceremony with Taylor R. Tolbert, Jesse W. Hill today filed suit to recover the property. Hill became suspicious when Mrs. Blevins postponed the marriage several times, and a few days ago learned that she had married Tolbert, and deeded the lots to him. Consequently, the suit is against Mr. and Mrs. Tolbert. OFFERS TEETH TO PAY COURT'S FINE MARION, Ill., Dec. 17.—Police Magistrate L. B. Long was quite startled out of his judicial dignity here when J. B. Kris, fined on a charge of drunkenness, snatched out his false teeth and handed them to his Honor. "I want to pay my fine with these," Kris said, "as I have no money left." "This court is not operating a pawnshop," his Honor freezingly observed. Kris was sent to jail for non-payment-of the fine. SIGHT RESTORED BY 'LAYING ON' HANDS SYDNEY, Dec. 17.—A cure of blindness by the "laying on of hands" is reported by the Anglican bishop of Goulburn, New South Wales. A rector in the diocese suffered failing sight, specialists holding out little hope of recovery, and as a last resort, the rector, Rev. J. D. Nicholson, asked the bishop to give him a laying on of hands with prayer.

Hoster, doing business FIRST DRY LAW MAY BE MYTHICAL HARTFORD, Conn., Dec. 17.—If the records of English newspapers in the case are authentic, which some doubt, the spirit of prohibition was active in America long before Mr. Volstead first saw the light. A New England jurist, returning recently from London, reported having read the following in a British publication, which prints daily a column of news reputed to be 100 years old: "A law has been passed recently by the legislature of Connecticut which provides that idle and drunken persons shall be publicly posted, and that all who sell spirits to any person who has been so posted shall be fined $7 for each offense; and if sold by a licensed victualer, his license shall be void. The trial may be had before any justice of the pence, and there is no appeal from his decision." Local lawyers have been unsuccessful thus far in searching for the statute. It may have existed, say some, merely in the minds of the writer, as in the case of the famous old "blue laws," which it is held, seem to have been conjured up in the imagination of a British tourist. MEXICAN MOURNS FOR LOVED COWBOY TAMPICO, Dec. 17.—This city is in mourning over the death of Ed Williams, one-time cowboy, who held up Bat Masterson, city marshal of Dodge City, Kan., in the days when Dodge City was the toughest town in the west, with Bat's own gun. Williams was hurt recently by a street car in Mexico City. The governor of the state of Tamaulipas, Senior Lopez de Lara, telegraphed the American chamber of commerce here of the accident, adding: "I will continue by his side with great sorrow." The next morning, Oct. 10, the governor telegraphed again that "Don Eduardo" had died. Thirty-nine years ago the young cowboy came down into Mexico and made and lost fortunes in mining. Thirteen years ago he settled in Tampico and helped it grow from a few thousand to a hundred thousand, with more than 20,000 Americans, and by the time he died, at 65, he had long been known as "Uncle Ed," the dean of the American colony. But just as affectionate a name was the "Don Eduardo" of the Mexicans, who sent a representative to escort the body of the loved American back to the Texas town from which he drove the steers up to Kansas.

LOWER CAL, WOULD OUST CHINESE MEXICO CITY, Dec. 17.—As a result of the recent decision of the penal judges of Mexico that deportation is the only effective method of notting an end to crime in the republic, the labor unions of Lower California have petitioned the federal government to put into motion Article 23 of the Constitution of 1917, and request that the same be applied immediately to the Chinese of that territory, "as their habits are not only detrimental to native labor, but also to society." Article 23 provides for the expulsion from Mexico of all pernicious foreigners. In the future we will better understand the influence of atmospheric temperature, pressure and humidity, on the human health. STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
