VAL LIABLE SUGGESTIONS

Every one respects the man who in
vented the stud with a movable head,
says The London Express He is one
of the benefactOrs of mankind No
one has heard his name, but he has
done more for humanity than. say Ma
poieon. He has given the whole world
f1ve minutes every morning Think of
the years thus saved and the tempers
preserved,
1t is, on the other hand. iupossible
to be friendly with the man who in
vented that obstinate and arbitrary
thing of bone which used to be the ruin
or all collars Such man can only be
forgotten and, il possible, forgiven.
He is in the same category as the man
who thought Of the top hat, or the
starched shirt, or the hanson street
whistle. There is no excuse for him.
1t is, in fact, necessary that the in
ventOr should be a man of a sensitive
and amiable disposition. He must
know all the weaknesses of humanity
and be prepared 10 respond to them
He must not scorn the little things.
and he must remember that the man
who thought of goloshes made a for
tune. He need not worry so much
much about flying machines as about
studs. 1t is more necessary that he
should add 20 our comfort than 70 our
altitude
An appeal, for instance. was made
lne other day by correspondent of
the Express for something to take the
place of the elusive button hook.
button hook is admittedly one of the
things that can never be found. Its
gift OF disappearance is shared only
with time tables. keys and openers Of
mineral water bottles.
IL Is time some one thought of
substitute for the button hook Every
one who has hurt his or her fingers in
desperate attempt to do up buttons
would welcome such an invention.
String has been tried, but IL is not
satisfactory. There is a fortune wait
ing for the inventor of something
which would make q button hook un-
necessary There is another waiting
for the inventor of the unbreakable
bootlace.
Other inventions become more neces-
sary every day. How is ii. for in
stance, that the umbrella is allowed to
remain so primitive? In it's present
form 1t is clumsy device for protect

pense OF another. By its assistance

The Ensign league has had another sue
ccssful week. all games being played as
per schedule. The Eighteenth ward,
expected, took both games from the
Twelfth and Thirteenth ward teams, by
a handsome margin, and the Twenty-sev-
enth did likewise with the Twenty-first
ward team. The TWenty-seventh ward
team have shown very marked improve
ment since the league opened and will
make the other teams above them on the
league table go some to retain their po-
sitions.
Next week. on Wednesday, Dec. q, the
following games viii be played: Eigh-
