ABOUT UMBRELLAS.
How to Cure Them of skipping the
COG" Habit.

Cog" Habit
Even quite new umbrella or para
sol has been known to develop the
trick of slipping the cog" and half
closing itself at most inappropriate
seasons The trouble in such case is
with the little bit of metal which
springs out from the stick for the pur-
pose OF holding the top part securely
and faulty open But exactly in what
that trouble consists very few suffer
ers make the effort TO investigate.
Yet it is generally very simple mat
ter both to discover and TO remedy.
There need be no recourse TO the UNI
brela member if the household tool
chest contains slender, three sided
''rattail'' file. as every tool chest should.
The slipping Is almost invariably
caused by the angle at which the top
of the above mentioned ''spring piece
meets the stick II it fails to slant In
ward and downward a tritie ii is inev-
table that the little tubular section TO
which the ribs are attached and which
should be held securely by the spring
piece will calmly press it back into the
slot In the stick and slide shutward
from the pressure of the ribs This
seems much detailed, but numberless
users of umbrellas never do discover
the cause of their discomfort and
merely manage by holding the article
open with "A hand far up the stick.
With the three sided file the top edge
of the spring piece can be slanted so
that 1t meets the stick at an acute an
gle, and therefore the tubular bit will
not be able to dislodge itself. Once
and for all It is cured.
