MendinR an Umbrella

Broken Joints between the braces
and ribs of an umbrella can be re-
paired with friction tape says Popu-
lar Science Monthly. Simply put the
end of the brace where It belongs and
wind tightly with the tape In such n
way that the action of the joint will
not be interfered with. The umbrella
then can be opened and closed with
out difficulty and the repair will be
found to last surprisingly well.
