An expert marksman--she is the only woman member of the Houses of Parliament Rifle Club -- Dr. Summerskill believes many women can help the war effort more with a rifle than with knitting needles. "There is a tremendous potential strength in cur villages of 'tough' single young women," she sald. "Women could do patrol watching or picketing perfectly well."

Educational Toys They consider what won't eas- ily perish but will educate in tine widest sense as well as amuse, They center attention upon what will stimulate mental as wall as physical activity. They choose toys and tools which encourage creative play -- for the ycung type. We need to remember that a! child, for example, crayons; paints, molding clay, large shects of pa- per, easel, unpainted blocks with several of the same or of multiple dimensions. For the child beyond three cr four, they chodse sucn tools as hammer, saw, vice (that will fasten to any table). In ace cordance with the boy or girl's age, they build up gradually a good workshop for creative and constructive fun. And they get tcols that will work, not cheap tools. Many of tne cheap sets of tools are not only worthless but harmful to the child. They. dis- courage him as he tries in vain to make things with them, Wise parents also choose some books and magazines which stimu- late in the child creative and con= structive interest. There are such magazines suited to the varying ages of the child. Children's mag~ azines have made rapid strides. They make good Christmas pres sents and keep coming through the year.

DOLLS QUEENS THROUGH AGES New York, Dec. 13--(CP) -- The doll is doing her dance again as queen of Santa's sack, a shopping reviewer says. War and clever new toys have failed to eclipse the star of the Can- adian girls' Christmas celebration. The toy trade dcesn't worry about age-limits of those who show affection for dolls. A four-month- old baby pays attention to a rag doll. And a very grown-up lady sometimes puts in a request for a costume or character doll. But the trade has to be alert to preferences. Neither mothers nor strong promotion schemes can win the will of a girl who says, "But I want a baby doll." KNICK-NACKS Damp salt rubbed on brown marks on dishes will remove the | marks.
