A handle which will always be

which is simple and practicable, has
been patented within the past few
days, by John Neustadter of this city.
The patent was issued on September
thirtieth, and manufacture of the
handles will begin in the near future.
Mr.. Neustaedter has already had Of
fers from several manufacturers, and
the probability is that within short
time he will be able to close deal
which will eventually net him good
financial return from his labors.
The principle of the handle. and the
reason for it's use are simple, accord,
ing to Mr.. Neustaedter. He says that
carpenters who use the ordinary iron
handles have great trouble because of

Genial Young Man
Of Rare Ability

Washington, Oct. 6.-Secretary Tu-
multy was chuckling today over his
experience in sightseeing autOm0-
bile. So busily engaged has the secre'
tary to the president been since the
inauguration that he has not had an
opportunity to see the historic sights
of the national capital. He climbed
into one of the big touring cars yes
terday with two friends and nearly
succeeded in an incognito. Soon the
automobile passed the White House.
"There are the Offices OF the presi-
dent magaphoned the guide, "and
there are the Offices of his secretary, a
genial young man of good looks and
rare ability" .......s s..
Secretary Trmulty blushed and fidg-
eted uneasily, but fortunately the
guide turned to describing the White
House grounds.
When the machine stopped at one
of the public buildings someone told
the guide that he had among his pas
sengers, the presidents secretary.
"Quit your kidding" said the mega
phone man, but he began to wonder
later il it were not true.
you'll pardon me-" he said to Mr..
Tumulty, presently, with caution in
his voice, "but haven't many folks
told you how much you resemble
Mr.. Tumulty, the presidents secre-
tary?"
ooh, yes" said the secretary, "lots
of them have--but what did you say
that building was?" and the guide
breathed easy.
On the return journey Mr.. Tumulty
stopped at the White House, where an
astonished sight seeing party saw him
slip merrily up the steps.

their Deraking off easily. The same
trouble is found with trunks and 9th
er articles which have handles.
His new handle draws out directly
from the trunk or box. and is regulated
by a spring, which, when released
draws the handle into a recess sunk
into the body of the box. The recess
which receives the handle is formed
with an inwardly curved portion con.
forming with the shape of the handle
so that it lies flush against the wall,
tubular castings extending outward.
The invention is so simple that one
wonders it was not perfected before
now. The inventor was compelled to
submit three designs, each different
before securing the patent, and natur'
ally is delighted with his success.

That the state department. by its
slowness to act is largely responsible
