ROLLING AN UMBRELLA.
This Expert Makes It a Rather Com
pljcated Operation.


Few men can roll up an umbrella
nicely. Here Is the method l was
taught. 1t is not very pretty, but It is
effective. You begin by folding up a
sheet of newspaper to form little
pad; otherwise you are apt to spoil
your wall paper. Now for the rest
Hold the umbrella horizontally. Hold
the pad Of paper against the wall.
press the end of the umbrella against
the paper and the handle Of the um
brella against your own body. This
leaves the hands free for the deli
cate task Of rolling up the umbrella
Find the button. Bring the fold with
the button on it to your left and let it
hang down. Then pull out each fold
and pass 1t over the first Throw the
lot loosely around the umbrella with
out disturbing the creases of the folds.
Grip the tops of the ribs with the right
hand. Put your left hand around the
other end and wind the umbrella
through the left hand with screwing
motion.
Do not let go Of the tops Of the ribs
of the umbrella. When you have to-
move the hand slide it around. II you
let go you will find that the ribs get
out of place. and then the folds Of the
umbrella will follow suit. When the
umbrella is rolled up grip it tightly
until you have fastened it. If you fail
in that detail you will get an unsightly
bulge in the center of the umbrella

Flint and finder.

II tempted to grumble overmuch at
the modern match. let US recall the
elaborate ritual necessary to procuring
a light until about a century ago. BY
striking flint with a piece of steel a
spark-if you were adept and lucky
was thrown upon a piece Of finder.
which spark you blew into a fame.
Strips of wood dipped in sulphur
were held in the fame, and your
match was lighted. The finder. hav-
ing fulfilled its function. was extin'
guished by a tin damper. The match
sticks were either homemade or pur-
chased in small bundles from gypsies.

OUR sun A VARIABLE STAR.
The More Spots It Has Upon It the
More Heat We Get.

The More Spots It Has Upon It tho
More Heat We Get.
Accurate investigations carried on ST.
multaneously in various parts of the
world through long series Of years
have demonstrated that the sun does
not give out constantly the same
amount of heat, but the variation is SO
great as to amount to 10 degrees on
the earths surface. In other words.
our sun is a variable star. 1t has long
been known that other stars vary in
the amount Of light they send forth,
notably Mira in the constellation Of
Cetus, but it required the most refined
Investigation with the most elaborate
checks to prove that this was the case
with the sun. One Of the instruments
is so delicate that it can measure one
millionth part of degree Of heat.
1t is found that the amount Of heat
is connected with the spots on the sun.
and. curiously enough. more spots more
heat Thus we have one factor in the
changes of terrestrial temperature, al
though it is only one. Our seasons are
caused by the inclination of the earth's
equator to the ecliptic, and the heat is
greater in summer when the suns rays
fall most directly on the earth. But
as the amount of heat varies and as
the radiation. reflection. ETC., also vary
we have a very complex system Of
weather.
1t is believed by the Smithsonian in
stitution that eventually we shall be
able, through knowledge on the sub
1ect, to make much more accurate wea-

People Are Not
Investing

That is all the more reason why investments must
be exceptional to interest them. But capital is loosen
ing up in anticipation of the greatest boom this country
has ever known. 1t is, however, utterly useless to at
tempt to interest investors unless the investment re-
presents something absolutely sound, something excep-
tional, something of big returns and guaranteed future.
1t must be something that will interest the speculator of
big profits and also something that appeals to the con-
sentative, hardened investor.
Such an investment has just been offered to the
public on a tempting basis. Investors are offered the
opportunity to investigate this sound business invest
ment, where assured returns of from 100 per cent to
800 per cent are practically certain but where possibili
ties are unlimited; a world enterprise founded upon a
staple business but branching out into a fabulously rich
field never before capitalized, where the profits are enor-
NOUS and where there is no competition an investment
in a new industry monopolzing the richest field of the
most lucrative business in the world. Think what this
means!
1t is practically certain that every investor originally
interested in this enterprise will get handsome returns
on their money regardless of the amount invested; re-
turns out of all comparison to dividends earned on any
other safe investment. The small investor of TODAY
will be the rich owner of tomorrow.
This opportunity is offered investors on a ground
floor basis, a basis pursuant of a broad business policy
for mutual advantage and cooperation, founded upon
the same principle as the cooperative plan of all big
businesses of today. Nothing like this investment has
ever been offered the public before, nor has anything
like this world enterprise ever been Appropriated before.
This you can readily appreciate upon investigation.
Investors are readily taking advantage of this OPP
portunity given them on such a liberal basis. The big
gest and shrewdest men in the country are investing in
it as well as the investor of limited means. The chance
is yours too: Act today before this offering is taken up!
Exceptionally good things do happen along
sometimes. The only way to prove that this is one of
them, The One, is to investigate it. The privilege is
given the investing public of investigating this oppor-
tunity without ~oblieatine them in any manner whatso-
ever. Simply fill out the coupon and full particulars
will be MAILED upon request without trouble or obi
