squib of perennial joy to American
boys was known in the fowery king
dom for untold centuries before the
Chinese were known to the rest of
the world.
Hence it naturally follows that the
Chinese have reduced the exploding of

The right way to roll your umbrella
is to take hold of the ends Of the ribs
and the stick with the same hand and
hold them tightly enough to prevent
their being twisted while the covering
is being twirled around with the other
hand. Then your umbrella will be as
nicely closed as when you bought 1t,
