WHAT'S WRONG with the man's umbrella?
thing to make the purchase of an umbrella (male version) a little more exciting than buying a pair of shoe laces. After all, buying an umbrella or even thinking of buying one is a milestone in a man’s life. That's the third stage of a growing and aging man, First stage—no hat under any conditions; second—hat to protect the remaining locks of hair or a shiny cranium, and third—something to protect the protection. . At the first place of business five slow trips past the umbrella department revealed nothing but a gaudy and stunted umbrella growth. There were easily 300 samples on display. Not one suited for a gentleman.
Floorwalker Lends Hand
IN DESPERATION a floorwalker was consulted. He led the way to the counter which was ablaze with color and asked the lady to show a man’s umbrella. ; ' Somewhere from the depths of the counter three drab and black umbrellas were hauled out and dumped on the .counter. One, supposedly
a favorite with mailmen, had a button which, when pushed, opened the ribs and silk with a shocking snap. The handle was pitifully plain. The second umbrella, black as the ace of

room as the standard type easy to lose. The Why weren't the men’s umbrellas on display? Well, simply because there weren't calls. What type of man buys an umbrella? Oh, the middle-aged man. Younger men prefer raincoats, it seems, Has anyone ever asked for a gray umbrella? One with a fancy handle? One with a herringbone pattern or subdued plaid? No. Thank you. - The floorwalker, trying his best to dispel the disappointment written all over his customer's face, mentioned that men don't carry umbrellas because they lose them quicker than women. “You see, old boy,” he said, rubbing salt in the

Baseball Eases Life
NEW YORK. Oct. 11—I am as sorry as sorry can be that the World Series is over, because now I got to go back to thinking about that heavy stuff again, and I never did have the head for it. I know people, people just like you and me, who
" ' «aean sit down and rattle off reams about the pound
devaluation and sterling bloc areas and parity in farm truck, just as easy as pie. I know a whole kennel of experts on the atom, and a covey of economists and more experts on military matters, communism and whither the globe than you can shake, a stick at. For a time, I had a fast try at duplicating this omniscience, and never quite got away with it. I read Time and Newsweek and the New York Times and a million dull books about everything from aphids to zebras, and still felt real dumb and awful phony when I laid down the heavy law on the machine, : That's a funny thing, how the typewriter reacts to an operator who is pulling an act. When I am writing something I know about first hand, like merchant ships and stripteasers and baseball and the night life of Sydney, Australia, the mill clicks along as sweet as a cash register. When I go global on the stuff T know at arm's length, the keys stick, the ribbons twist, and it all comes out etaoinshrdlu the next day.
Always Easy to Write
BASEBALL was a business I always thought I knew, and respected as an exact science, and it was always awful easy to write. Baseball made a lot of sense. They rarely changed the rules on you, for one thing. The experts couldn't ever expert it very hard, for the simple reason that no expert, sitting on ‘a bench, could expert a wild pitcher into chipping the cormers of the plate, or expert a .215 hitter into belting one out of the park. J At the opposite corner, I never felt easy writing football. Football seemed as loose as psychiatry. They changed the rules to fit the situations. It was hard to see what was happening on the field, even on a clear day. Football coaches are chronic liars, as a group; football press agents are

‘Tain’t Funny’
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 — There is a book about to be published, called “Dateline: Washington.” The publisher, a Mr. Doubleday, says it is without question the year's most important book on the newspaper business. I haven't seen it, myself, but I am in a pretty fair position to review it. For better or worse and with an airplane ticket in my pocket in case I have to leave town in a hurry, I must confess that I helped write it. What happened was that the National Press Club (which Mr. Doubleday says is the world's most fabulous reporters’ club) decided upon its 41st birthday to issue a history of itself. And also tell the sometimes heart-warming and sometimes cock-eyed story of how news is gathered in the nation’s capital. The board of governors dumped this one.on the 15 unsuspecting members (including me) of the publications committee. “Write a book,” the board said. “And kindly write a good one.”
Spend Hours Yammering
SO WE WERE authors made, not born. We went into executive session where we spent hours yammering on what we were going to call our yook in case we ever got it written. The title which struck me as about right was: “Forgive Us Our Press Passes.” But the older heads, who said this wasn’t dignified enough, prevailed. v Then we argued some more about how many chapters there'd be and what they'd be about. The following 22 gentlemen, not being fleet of foot, each were assigned chapters: Arthur Krock, Duncan Aikman, Scot Hart, Junius Wood, Bascom N. Timmons, Fletcher Knebel, Theodore Doop, Hugh Morrow, Homer Dodge, Howard L. Kany, William C. Bourne, Bruce
