realized what this meant to the

The American family which In
this country would keep one, two,
or three servants finds in China
that the customs OF the place and
people require a greatly increased
number. Speaking generally, each
servant has his or her own par
ticular work or "pidgin," and, on
the strictest trade-union basis, will
not do "pidgin" which belongs to
another class OF servant. Thus

the loyalty OF the Conservative
party 10 the Coalition and to him.

90 do so. Many OF the Conserva-
tives are In active revolt. and a
party meeting held recently broke
up almost in confusion. That was
the first blow, for it showed that
the Coalition was falling asunder
like a blanc-mange smitten with
hammer. The second blow, which
was obviously decisive, was the re-
fusal of Lord Derby to become
secretary of state for India in place
OF Mr.. Montagu. Lord Derby's re-
ply was quite natural. He could
rot be expected to take office in
government which may collapse
at any moment. Meanwhile, Sir
Arthur Balfour, after pronouncing
vague benedictions upon the Coali-
tion, has slipped away to the south
OF France. MIR. Bonar Law has
vanished into some unknown void.
The prime minister has all but ab-
dieated, leaving Mr.. Austen Cham
berlain to carry on. What a posi-
ton.

they are saying. Mr.. Lloyd George

STRANGE INVENTIONS

the inventions would prove an inn
mediate success.
There is an extraordinary num-
ber of people who flatter them
selves that they have an inven-
tive genius. They waste many
precious years working on ideas
which are not practical. Nothing
, can dissuade them. II is not only
in fiction that one meets the has-
gard inventor who is starving be-
lcause no one will buy his Inven-
ton.
There are many really humor-
Gus inventions whichDwere fully
expected to fill a long.felt want.
One optimistic inventor expected
to cure seasickness by attaching
a chair to a small balloon which
was fixed to an overhead stay.
The chair itself was secured to the
deck by a ball and socket joint.
Numerous attempts have been
made TO improve on the standard
pattern umbrella. Some of these
have been extremely ingenious,
while others were very si1ly. One
enterprising inventor made an UNI
brella with window, through
which one could look while walk
ing with the umbrella protecting
the face. Another inventor con-
ceived the idea of taking out a
patent for an inverted umbrella to
catch the rain, which then flowed
out through a hollow In the han.
die. In order TO remedy the dis
tressing drip from an umbrella an
inventor patented a rain alb
sorber. which was merely
sponge attached to the end of each
rib. An umbrella with a gutter
was also patented.
''The Rhabdoskidophorus" was
an umbrella which could be
taken to pieces and placed inside
a walking stick.
Walking sticks have always
appealed with particular force TO
male inventors. They have been
made to conceal swords, pipes,
telescopes, pen, ink, and paper.
Walking sticks are now frequent
ly used as receptacles for boot.
leg" whiskey. Smuggiers also
have used hollow walking sticks
to dodge the customs duty on
cigars. spirits. perfumes, and
saccharin.
Novelties in hats and caps have
also been placed on the market
by enterprising inventors. One
of the most useful was an adjust
able hat. This would have proved
very economical in the families
where hats are handed down
from father to son, and from
elder son to younger son. Another
hat invention contained recep-
tacles for a mirror, n comb, a
ticket. pencil and several other
male possessions.
One inventor patented a me
chanical appliance TO teach babies
how to walk. The baby was
placed inside a small chair on
wheels. The legs were then at
tached TO levers which forced the
child to walk when the clock
work machinery was set IN mo
tion. Babies. however. did not
quite approve of this invention.
