THAT COMPOUNDED UMBRELLA!

Consider the umbrella You can't get away
from it. (Yet it always gets away from you,
somehow, doesn't it?) '@.s .. -
Man hates the umbrella. Woman dotes on it.
Why? Well, an umbrella worries man. It is
Or loaned. Or pokng him in rib or eye in q
crowd So man tries to get through without it
on a rainy day. And his wife calls him back
and makes him take the confounded thing along
to worry about all day. That's mans side of
the case. ....s. g.
Woman loves the umbrellas. (Of silk, with a
gold handle.) 1t keeps the rain off her hat. (You
know what rain will do to woman's hat-it'l
make it look like crows nest.) It keeps the sun
off her face. 1t is handy to swat mashers That's
wcman's side of the argument. ..r -,
Who invented the umbrella? Where? When?
How? Why? ,......, r..
The first umbrella was made somewhere in
Asia, and it was a womans idea.
That first umbrella was canopy-a tent with
out sides. .; 49,. i L.. II
Canopies were first used TO shield the first
queens from rain and sun when they went out
calling sitting in things like hammocks carried
by slaves. ~" ,,., ..
I, Soon kings and queens and people like them,
too lazy or too foolish to strengthen their weak
legs by walking, all had eanepies ca4h7dfied over
them by slaves. ".-. - -. - :.
The one day society woman started the walk
ing fad. Thus came the one-person canopy-the
first umbrella. '...
1t was rather crude affair-a piece of silk
stretched over light sticks and pole in the center
When the kings and queens, saw it they got
busy and made some laws about it. They de-
creed that umbrellas should only be carried by nice
society people in their own "set::" So for long
time umbrellas were a mark. Of distinction. r.

There are good reasons why other nations will
not want to go into free-for-all bodybuilding OF
any other kind of armament competition with
Uncle Sam. There are facts about man-power
wealth, national incomes-all comprising potential
military and naval power-that the long headed
abroad as we'll as here must take into consider
atiCn.
A conservative estimate Of our total wealth is
$50 billion dollars. A conservative estimate of
our total annual income is so million. The fact
is though, that this last Agure shouldshe nearer
So billion. = < 81 - 2qs# y ~ q
On the dollar score the United States is far
and away the greatest nation in the world. The
British Empire comes next, but with much less
than half cur nconle-between 20 and % billion
dollars.
And dollars in this connection mean something
more than big bank account, to sit back and
brag about They mean power-power to build
ships, to transport and equip fighting men, to be
ready for anything! -... - .
In population-effective population-we are also
ahead. We have we'll over 100 million. In mill
tary terms, this means that we have over 20
million men of what is called militia age" with
millions coming on every year. -. !.
Here again the British Empire comes second.
Her total of EFFECTIVE population is only about
70 million. France has less than 40 million souls,
and she is about on par with other European
nations. In man power Japan is next effective
to England with so millions or more.
With submarines and airplanes and three-dsy
mystery ships crossing the Atlantic, with Mexico
on one side, Canada on the other, and Japan just
across the Pacific Uncle Sam has learned that fail
ing adequate guarantees Of peace, he cannot live
alone without gun in the house.
Uncle Sam, speaking in the voice of Woodrow
Wilson across the peace table at Versailles, has
just this to say: Il don't want to go in for ex-
pensive ornaments. I'd rather pay my part for
q first class police force-a League of Nations

have the power, to keep the peace. But, if you

OIJR RABBIT POPULATION

We used to sneer lot at the pothunter.
That was when we didn't have so many other
things to sneer at
We used to say he was sportsman The fel-
low ate or sold what he shot! ,...
Things are different now. We pat the pothun'
ter on the back and wish him luck! That's be-
cause we need the game he shoots.
Two hundred million rabbits are killed IN the
United States every year
The biological survey of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has figured it up.
That would mean 100000 tons of meat year.
There are 1000 pounds in a ton. You couldn't
cat more than pound at a meal.
But a lot of the rabbits are poisoned, because IN
some places they are pest TO farmers. OTHERS
are shot for their skins and the meat is wasted.
Only part of the rabbit meat reaches hungry
stomachs. -.-.-.-- -..
