missing because of the war. In fact,
most of the toys are American-made,
including more than 100,000 new
ones, ready-tested for safety and
age-interest.
American toys not only have set
the styles but have led the way In
inventions and major improvements
for 20 years.
"The American way of life Is the
dominant theme In toys because It
is the dominant theme in the Amer

Holiday Fruit Gake
Once upon a time a fruit cake was made at holiday time In quanti
ties large enough to last all winter. Whenever callers arrived they were
always refreshed with a glass of wine and a slice of fruit cake, made by the
special family recipe. The wine itself
seemed to be a general belief that

suitable for ladiesl
Nowadays we have so many other
cakes besides fruit and pound cake
that we arc likely to make the first
in smaller quantities and reserve
the latter for some special occasion.
Time for preparation of fruit and
nuts has been cut materially since
we can get raisins and dates, seed
ed and pitted, fruit peels already
candied and sliced, and nuts already
shelled.

Defense toys form only one per
cent of all the 1940 toys, Mr. Fri
says, although there are more bat
tleships and guns modeled after
army and navy apparatus than ever
before.
Peacetime toys keep their usual
popularity. Boys and girls still pre
fer such things as. farm animals and
machinery, station wagons, printing
presses, art portfolios, construction
objects or games, science kits, which
look and work like the real products.
Here are some of the new things
for various ages:
Automobiles of many sizes made
or rubber, wood or plastics.
Dolls with magnetic hands or with
plastic skin which Is washable and
baby-soft; dolls that can be seen in
the dark and improved versions of
the old-favorite rag doll.
For Baby A bathing whale that
swims under water or spouts water
wnen squeezed; rubber balls deco
rated with big faces or bright colors
a push-and-pull animal with real
istic iur-like skin.
For Two-Year Olds: Push-and
pull ducks and ducklings on one
string, a panda that somersaults, ice
cream or hot dog wagon and inter
locking blocks that don't tip too

For Three-to-Sixcrs: A rocking

Attractive decorations may be
made by means of blanched , al

Homemade Jams Popular
As Christmas Gifts,
While most Jams are made early in the year, there are a number
which can be made Just as well during the winter. As containers you
may like to use small glass or pottery jars or the woven raffia con
tainers, especially designed for jelly and jams. If small containers are
chosen you may pack an assortment into a Christmas basket or box.
Mint jelly, orange and grapefruit
marmalades, prune and raisin con
serve and apricot and pineapple
marmalade, as well as oranberry
and raisin conserve can all be made;
at this time of year. If you are
making them for your own use, pack
them in half pint or pint jars which
can then be sealed with rubber
rings. Paraffin will furnish the seal
for other types of containers. Jellies
should be cooled before the hot par
affin is poured oyer them, but thick
er mixtures may be sealed at once.
Remember the products should be
labeled before you forget what they
are.
The recipes for the marmalades
which are given today are so quick
and easy to make that they may be

One thousand, one hundred registra
tions marked a new record for Ore

unusually large showing. . A large
attendance was shown at the alumni
dinner-dance Saturday night. Many
appeared at the student rally dance
and freshman Homecoming bonfire

Beta Phi Alpha and Delta Chi won
the alumni trophies for having the
most alums representing them on

on a comparison with the number
of members In the living group at
the time.
