ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
THE UMBRELLA MAKER AND THE
UMBRELLA MEMBER
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

There are two people we must
see today" said the March Hare.
"Very important persons, indeed"
who are they?" asked Nick.
THE Umbrella Maker and the UNI
brella Member" said the March Hare
April showers are coming. Please,
get on, both of you, and we Will 60
and see them"
The Twins jumped on the hare's
back and away he hoped. BY and
by they came to the place where the
Umbrella Maker and the Umbrella
Member lived side by side, like
Tweedle Dunn and Tweedle Dee.
The two old men, like the Dee
boys, were always quarreling, al
though they were the fastest ct
friends.
The Umbrella Member said that the
Umbrella Maker made such good UNI
brellas that he never had any work
to do.
And the Umbrella Maker said that
the Umbrella Member mended them
so well that they never wore out, and
so people never needed new ones.
And so. as neither of them had
anything to do, they decided to spend
their time playing chess.
One day they played in the UNI
brella Makers house and the next
day they played in the Umbrella
Members house.
And SO, things went on, and all the
umbrellas in the world were getting
lost, or worn out, or being forgotten
and scarcely anybody had one.
Scarcely anybody.
February was cold and bright
and sunny-so nobody complained.
March was cold and dusty and
blowy. Still nobody complained. For
nobody needs umbrellas much in
March. That is-not aWfully.
So the two Umbrella Men sat and
played chess, and played chess, and
day after day passed.
Mister Sprinkle Blow, the weather
man, must have gotten his dates
mixed up on his calendar, up in the
sky, and thought it said April lst
Instead of that it was only the 2lst
of March.
"The world is pretty dirty after a
hard winter so lll give it thorough
Washing" said he. And he rolled his
barrel marked Regular Pourdowns'
to the edge of a cloud and turned
on the spigot.
Down came the rain like a fire
hose.
But the Umbrella Maker and the
Umbrella Member played right on.
The Maker moved pawn and
jumped a bishop and took it. Then
the Member moved a knight one
square straight and one square
cater-cornered and took the Makers
queen.
The Maker was so mad he nearly
had fit. And then they began TO
quarrel as usual.
They never saw the rain. And not
six good umbrellas in the world that
hadn't been lost, or broken. or for
gotten!
Lippity, loppity came the March
Hare and the Twins. They reached
the Umbrella Makers house just as
the pourdown started. And all the
time the old men were quarreling,
they kept knocking to get in.
Finally they just had to walk in.
And then the March Hare gave
them a piece Of his mind. Quite a
large piece Of it--abOut being two
silly geese-although it was better
dav for ducks.
The Umbrella Maker and the UNI
brella Member put their chess-board
away and got right to work.

There Is tremendous boom on in
Florida-may Californian hopes that
it will not be as expensive to Florida
as some Californian booms have
been to those who reaped the imme-
date first profits.
Anyhow, whether with or. without
its reactions, it will in the long
run make for new people and new
money in Florida.
A more interesting speculation is
the effect of the general interest in
the whole south, of which this
boom is merely the most visible
symptom, on the desectionalization
of America.
The south is the next part Of the
country to experience great in
crease of population. That means q
new sort of people-northerner with
contrary traditions and Europeans
with less racial prejudice.
The manufacturing districts of tho
south have been partly "Yankeeized'
already. Now the same movement OF
population is started toward the
hitherto agricultural districts.
And simultaneously there is a great
migration of negroes to the north.
We shall, therefore, see the negro
problem faced by a people without
the background Of the south, and the
south itself with a population a

THE WRONG WAY
TO LOOK AT IT

The newest version of the Bible
eliminates all references to "wine"
except the condemnatory ones.
Wine is still mocker and strong
drink is still raging, but David's
"flagon of wine" becomes cake
OF raisins" and the Children Of
Israel, instead of blowing flagons Of
wine" like to eat raisin cake.
Doubtless the "good wine" which,
by Christ's definition, was such as
the guests might get well drunken"
on was large box Of Sun Maid raj
sins. :
All of which demonstrates chiefly
the lack Of historic perspective.
The eighteenth amendment and
the moral sentiment that made it
possible are a modern product.
Drink may be an un-Christian sin
now. But it has become so in re-
cent years.
So far as the prophets, Or even the
founder of Christianity, are con-
cerned, the idea Of wine as necessar-
lily sin was still undiscovered.
