‘an umbrella, a bumbershoot, if you please.

OF COURSE, the primary purpose of an um- iu
brella is to keep the rain off your top. It's a roof .
over your head. There are other uses, however, that have sold me completely. I had an occasion to visit a book buyer in a
jocal department store where an autograph party * will be held the first week in November when
“Monday Follows Tuesday” will go on sale. That's my book. ®

A button on the buyer's blouse in the vicinity of her tummy was loose, My umbrella flashed within a ‘fraction of the oversight. It received immediate attention. A man can be more relaxed with an umbrella. When he’s talking to someone for any length of time, it serves as a cane. You can place it directly in front of you and lean on it with both hands. Another excellent position is at the side. . a WALKING is easier with a folded umbrella. The weight serves as a balance and the slight push you give yourself increases the ease of the stride. A fast turn can be accomplished more gracefully and swiftly. Greetings to the fair sex have more flair and bounce. For example, a member of a college board with whom I am acquainted, called a cheerful greeting as she passed in front of me. Without forethought or malice, the bumbershoot, as natural as you please, went up and tapped her gently twice, no, thrice. She giggled merrily. Her step became lighter. She took five steps and turned and laughed again, coquettishly tilting her head. That's what an umbrella does to a woman. % o> oS SH AT ONE of my favorite late afternoon stops, 1 gave the bartender my usual request, emphasizing it by striking the bar with the handle sharply a couple of times. The man responded with amazing alacrity. He took more pains with the simple mixture and wiped the bar off hefore he set the glass down. Most unusual. It was the umbrella that did the trick. Taking leave, the umbrella again proved its worth. A departing patron let the door go ‘in my face. I was just far enough away that bv
Americana By Robert C. Ruark
NEW YORK, Aug. 30—If you seek some sort of classic in loathsonieness, a stern moral lecture on just how horrid mankind may become, old Waxey Gordon is the subject of the sermon. I can think of nobody who has so thoroughly tagged all the bases of depravity, with no real excuse that society shoved him. Gordon, horn Wechsler, has been bagged by the state for such delightful whimsies as grand larceny, black marketeering, and income-tax violation. He was a key figure of the bootleg era, which means that he had to be parcel to murder and kindred violences, and his final infraction of decorum was a fast pass at the dope business. It will be his last infraction of anything, because he is now liable to life imprisonment under the Baumes Law as a fourth offender, . ke >

Well, I simply thrust with the umbrella, placed the point against the glass and side of the frame and passed through. As the door closed I rapped it smartly with a backswing blow to show my approval of the place and complete command of any situation that might arise.
FRIENDS have said that the umbrella would pe lost in a week. A few gave me cne day. Nonsense. The way I feel right now the day the umbrella is gone my right arm will be gone too.

WE ARE an enlightened people, respects, and so we do not consistently practice the more barbarous tenets of punishment to fit crime. We do not cut off the hand of a thief, as do some Arabs, nor do we administer the death penalty for more subtle crimes against the commonwealth. We do not legally administer torture as a just pay-off for some crimes.
It almost seems a pity, in the cases of the Waxey Gordons, that there is not something more horrible than death or imprisonment to repay a man for a complete life of conscious criminality, committed with thoughtful malice.

I can get a shine for 233 cents outside the famous Shepheard’s Hotel where we're bivouaced. My befezzed dragoman; Rascha, embarrassed me on Shepheard’s celebrated verandah. Overjoyed at earning a fair day's pay for guiding us, he came up next morning, bowed, and actually issed my hand. . x “3 hii Ay you long life and happy time!” he said. Each time he fook us on a tour, he wanted us, at the finish, to stop by and just say hello to his father, or his cousin, who would be so flattered to meet us, a famous journalist. * 4 * FATHER, it turned out, owned a perfume Pho re couldn't get out without buying perfume.

Across the street, some laborers in their bedsheet clothes are tearing a building down by hand. It is one of the hottest days and they are barefoot on those baking, blazing stones. I felt sorry for them—as I did for a poor man walking around selling mangoes from a basket on his head. Suddenly he spilled a lot of the mangoes which went rolling into the street. I was about to help him pick them up—but was restrained by a friend who said it would not look proper. It would be a caste violation—like Darryl Zanuck inviting a doorman to one of his famous Hollywood lunches. * > o NINETY PER CENT of the poor never take a drink. Mohammed forbade it.

MUCH has been written of the awfulness of a hophead divested of his junk, but it really must be seen to be appreciated to the full extent of its horror. It is a temporary hell in which every single sense of the victim turns and rends him. a momentary suspension in time during which the capacity for exquisite suffering is magnified a thousandfold. It is the fate of every human who goes for the needle, yet the lice who infest the commercial crime world are willing and eager to bank on implied torment as a spur to their sales, When the cops put the arm on Gordon, the old villain wept and pleaded to be allowed to run, so the law could shoot him. Actually, the end would have been much too easy. I think they ought to get him habitually on the hop habit, at state expense—and then take away his nose candy. And watch him leap and scream.

EW YORK, Aug. 30—Drt Peter Schlumoohm, who invents like other people do crossword puzzles, thinks “a successful invention is ‘the life.” Schlumbohm, a big, jovial man, sat at the immense wooden table, almost like a butcher's block, that serves as desk,

“When you get an idea for
something,” he said, “and build
it and try it out and then it works perfectly—well, there is no inner joy as pure as that.” In his 55 years, he's experienced that feeling many times. He holds some 300 patents and about a dozen of his inventions are still commercially successful. They rang: from complicated refrigerating devices to cigarette holders, fiom involved

front of the machine. It seems to come from the side, between the- paper disks. But wherever it comes from, it creates a balmy breeze. He sees this latest invention as “my contribution to air conditioning.” That's because the paper disks are made from porous filter paper, and filter out dust from the air. After a day or so, they become darkened with the soot. They have to be changed about twice a week in constant use, but changing them is a simple job. The fan does what Schlumbohm calls “homogenizing the air.” He thinks it should be run even in the winter bécause it keeps warm air circulating instead of letting it all rise to the ceiling. Schlumbohm . says he's not going to make and sell motors, just the shaft and assorted disks. “Any home handyman can pick up a small motor,” he says, “and attach this fan. Altogether, it'll be cheaper than an ordinary fan.”

He likes to say that he got his broad shoulders from his mother’s family, who were all sea captains, and his scien tific mind from his father’s side, a line of apothecaries—‘“drugegists without sandwiches,” as Schlumbohm says. After service in World War I, Schlumbohm was discouraged with the world. So he waived a »)arge inheritance on the condition that his family pay for his education as Jong as he wanted to study. That state of affairs lasted 10 years, until he got & Ph.D. in physical chemistry, That stopped both his education and his income. +s # 8 8 HE DECIDED to invent something. In the highbrow labe oratory, the word was whise pered around among all the profound scientists: “Schlume bohm is working on a chame pagne cooler." v.That first invention turned out successfully. Schlumbohm stayed with the field of refrigeration, peddled patent rights, made money, and came to’ U. 8. in 1935. His able invention has Chemex coffee maker, “Women come up tc they hear ‘that I who made Chemex,” “and want to kiss let them.” :
