BY J. C. ROYLE. The Star. June 4.—Business is| | turning steadily to science to assure | improvement of sales. The department | and specialty stores of the country are | already hiring psychologists to enable them to determine what they shall buy in preparation for the 1929 Christmas trade. This trend is speclally notice- able in toys. | One of the largest department stores of the Middlewest has employed a noted feminine educator to sound out the leading psychologists of the country and educators in all sections as to the | trend of toys and childish demands for them. pecial Dispatch to NEW YORK, | Trend Is Widespread. | This store contemplates the opening | of a service which will enable parents | and gift givers to make proper selection of toys, taking into consideration of the natural bent of the individual child and using the broad foundation of can- vasses of many children. The idea, of course, is that this service would make the toy a benefit educationally as well as a source of amusement The American Association of Toy Manufacturers declared today that this | trend had been manifested in numerous | other instances, although the general | idea of most merchants seemed to be to use the psychologists to train the | clerks selling toys rather than to offer a special psychological service to pos- sible buyers. - The clerks, they feel, should be made competent to advise purchasers after questioning the latter about individual tendencies. Officials of the association declared it was their belief that while a_ special advisory service might prove of inter- est and benefit to some parents, the casual buyer of toy gifts is inclined to buy the thing which they imagtne would have appealed to themselves at the age of the child, rather than to go into deep analysis of educational trends. The educator from the Middle West | declared that her studies so far had in- clined her to the belief that the day of the doll is over. She believes children have ceased to take interest in dolls, except the life-size specimens, and that | girls now have little interest in making | doll's clothes or dressing and undressing | dolls. | ‘The manufacturers, hand, say that just as many dolls will be made, sold and enjoyed this year as | ever. They point out that doils, like | women, wear so few clothes that long | and extensive play cannot be devoted to dressing and undressing them. The makers of toys look principally to the sale of the wheeled toys to bolster re- ceipts in the coming season. Airplane Toy Vogue. The airplane is having a toy vogue, but they Teport that this is just a re- | currence of a similar burst of interest | some years ago. They expect it to drop | slightly and then revive again. The | wagon, the scooter, the skates and the | toq automobile, however, scem firmly | imbedded in the nitch reserved for ju- | venile favorites. So are the toys which enable the boy or girl to make some- thing with them. The mechanical trend | is strong and so i5 the demand for toy musical instruments of somewhat su- | perior make, which have real har-| monic possibilities. - Artistic tendencies will find plenty to satisfy them in the modeling and painting sets. on the other | PARIS BOURSE -PBIbES.

That the raflroad extension proposals now advanced denote an existing era of far | experienced is shown by the fact that in the entire year 1928 the commis- sion approved but 717 miles of new raflroad construction Much of the extension now being un- dertaken is in Texas, with a long stretch in California and Oregon, and it is possible that, owing to the competitive characteristics of a portion of it, the projects may be curtailed a bit by the commission. ‘That body is instructed by law to prevent unnecessary duplication of railrond facilities. This issue is raised sharply against a joint Great Northern-Western Pacific building plan, which calls for more than 200 miles of new_construction between Mlamath Falls, Oreg., and Paxton, Calif., which| the Southern Pacific is fighting. A| Santa Fe new line, undertaken by its Orient subsidiary, running 150 miles of new rail through Texas is unopposed, however. The Rock Island, seeking to enter Fort Worth by new direct connec- tions, proposes to build 168 mlies; the Frisco, in somewhat the same territory, is undertaking 43 miles of extension, and a subsidiary of the Colorado & Southern, which wishes to extend from ildress to Pampa, both in Texas, have larger projects pending. The balance of the mileage is made up of shorter bits, to the number of near! 30, scattered all over the United States. When Owen D. Young left Washing- ton last Winter as American representa- tive in the European experts reparation conference now so triumphantly ending, he confided to official associates one de- tail of preparation for the task in which he asked help. Each national delegation in the deliberations, it was Mr. Young's notion, would be materially influenced in attitude and vote by home opinion. ‘The public opinion in each country, he concluded, should be kept under observ- ation as the discussions proceeded in order that the direction of its influence upon delegates attending could be un- derstood. Accordingly, some inconspic- uous but continuous studies of French, German, English, and Belgian reactions to the various issues raised were set on foot, under American auspices, in each one ‘of those nations. With the regular estimates of how each nation’s opinion on the various reparations points was turning tran mitted to him, Mr. Young, as chairman of the gathering, expected to be able to country’s representatives. The infor- mation he sought required a number of SUMMER SCHOOL Commercial _ Art—Interior Decoration. Costume Design. ~ Children's cl Lo ons. 28 LIVINGSTONE, 1333 F St. N.W. _Met.
