Did you know a Chesterfield pack Humble Umbrella Played Romantic and Important Parts in Ancient History It is a long cry and a huge stride from the "Ombrelle" depicted in the faded frescoes and crumbling sculptures of ancient Nineveh to the compact, dainty, practical rain protector of today. The change is synonymous with the progress of civilization. The umbrella is one of the oldest achievements of mankind. We do not know whether the cave man sported one, but there is slight doubt that he utilized a big plam leaf or a woven makeshift of reed as a sun shade. On the temple walls of Egypt and Assyria, as well as in the ancient sketches of India and China, the umbrella is in evidence. No one knows where it originated, but probably in the hot climates, to protect against the fierce sun. In fact, "Umbrella" signifies a sunshade, from the Latin "Umbro," shade. The French name is "parapulule," which means "for rain." In Spanish it is called "Paraguas," signifying "for water." But in these languages a sunshade still goes by its original name of "Ombrelle." Religious Symbol It is probable that from the beginning the umbrella had a religious as well as a utilitarian value. On ancient sculptures we see processions of priests and potentates with umbrellas carried over their heads. The Hindu theology tells us that in the fifth incarnation of Vishnu the god wnet down to the infernal regions with an umbrella in his hand. The Persian sun worshippers use an umbrella in religious ceremonies. In Egypt no religious ceremony was complete without the umbrella. It was one of the distinguished marks of the priesthood. In Greece, also, it had its religious significance. During the feast of Sciras the priestess was borne from the Acropolis to the sea under a white parasol. In the feasts of Bacchus it was borne aloft in honor of the god and his votaries. In most Oriental countries it is still associated with royalty. In Siam to this day the king's umbrella is formed of circles, one above the other, while civil and ecclesiastical matters. Alfred the Great is represented in an old wood cut attended by a guard bearing a huge umbrella. In all the basilican churches of Rome there hangs a large umbrella near the altar or in the vestry as a reminder of this every ready help. The cardinals, who took their title from these churches, had the privilege of having umbrellas carried over their heads in solemn procession. Among the Greeks and Romans umbrellas were carried solely by women, and it was regarded as effeminacy for a man to carry one. The use of umbrellas became very general in Italy and France in the sixteenth century. Early in the eighteenth century it was the practice to keep umbrellas in the coffee houses as a protection to guests caught in an unexpected shower. Birth of Rain Umbrella At length there arose a man who flouted public ridicule and became a devotee to the umbrella. He was Jones Hanway, a traveler. He had an extraordinary big and stout onmade for his own use. For thirty years Hanway and his umbrella were a familiar figure along the strand, and many a shot of ridicule was fired at him. He died in 1786, but lived long enough to see his example commonly followed. The older umbrella was made with six, eight, ten and even up to sixteen ribs, while some of the Japanese and paper umbrellas have as many as forty ribs. Whalebone was the favorite substance for ribs, although rattan was frequently used. Metal took its place, but was heavy and clumey. Then there arose a genius, Samuel Fox of England, who in 1852 patented his famous "paragon rib," which is still in use. In 1848 alpaca was first used as a covering material, but it, too, was heavy. Since then a great variety of fabrics have been used, most popular of which are silk, gloria, plain cotton and other materials. BOGUS CHECK ARTISTS CAN BE DETECTED BY METHOD The bad check artist seems, unfortunately, to be more active than ever these days. Those of us who have not suffered loss through the forging or altering of our checks are familiar with the experience of those who have. Most of us, however, do not know just how the forger works or what carlessness of our may provide the opportunity for altering a check. A very interesting collection of bad checks is now on display in the window of the Golden State National bank. There are checks on which erasures have been made and on which acid has been used in raising the face of the check. One check was raised by the acid method from $42.25 to $92.25 and another was changed from $33.35 to $180.95. On the latter check everything but the signature was changed. In each case no matter what the method, a comparison was made with the type of checks used by the Golden State National bank, demonstrating that these checks cannot be altered. A large placard gives this information concerning the tamper-proof checks: "All checks used by this bank are lithographed on sensitized paper and insure our customers the best protection against alterations. In support of this contention, the bank checks on display show the effect that erasure or acid has on the sensitized surface. Erasure actually removes the surface, thus defacing the check and the effect of acid is a reaction which leaves the surface white instead of the natural slate color." This Cross-Eyed Cat Rides Train Trucks HOQUIAM, Wash., Nov. 25—Trainmen, ware the black cat or even one which has changed its color from non-descript to black via the coal smoke process! So say trainmen on the short line running between here and Gray's Harbor. A shaggy, cross-eyed feline, with a voice like an unrolled car spring, persists in riding the passenger coach umbrella in religious ceremonies. In Egypt no religious ceremony was complete without the umbrella. It was one of the distinguished marks of the priesthood. In Greece, also, it had its religious significance. During the feast of Scras the priestess was borne from the Acropolis to the sea under a white parasol. In the feasts of Bacchus it was borne aloft in honor of the god and his votaries. In most Oriental countries it is still associated with royalty. In Siam to this day the king's umbrella is formed of circles, one above the other, while that of his royal family have three, two or one circle, according to their rank. In the Middle Ages Even in Europe in medieval times the umbrella played a large role in paper umbrellas have as many as forty ribs. Whalebone was the favorite substance for ribs, although rattan was frequently used. Metal took its place, but was heavy and clumsy. Then there arose a genius, Samuel Fox of England, who in 1852 patented his famous "paragon rib," which is still in use. In 1848 alpaca was first used as a covering material, but it, too, was heavy. Since then a great variety of fabrics have been used, most popular of which are silk, gloria, plain cotton and other materials. As to covering, this is left to the fancy of the wearer. The sizes, too, differ, but the twenty-two, twenty-four and twenty-six-inch ribs are the most general sizes. Among some of the popular innovations of recent years were folding umbrellas to occupy the length of a suitcase; self-opening umbrellas; umbrellas with celluloid windows, enabling the user to see through the covering; umbrellas with pockets; parasols that can be convented into bags to carry knitting and sundry articles, etc. There are big umbrellas to cover spooning couples or bathers at the seashore; umbrellas for wagons, tiny umbrellas to cover a horse's head, umbrellas to match dresses, and other ingenious ideas. NOT SO DIFFICULT TO GET TO GRANDMA'S FARM NOW Not so very many years ago the big idea on Thanksgiving Day was to attend the obituaries of the late George W. Gobbler out at grandma's farm. This involved considerable preliminary work, for instance, getting the children together all at one time, giving them a wash and polish back of the ears and backing them into their store clothes, after which they were piled into the dignified fringe-top surrey behind the patient old white "Charley." Grandma lived away out on the remote frontier—almost seven miles from town—a good two hour journey, because old Charley, who had a perfectly good neutral, had only one speed forward and wasn't particular about using it on a holiday after he had been hauling hardware or groceries all week. Seven miles was considerable jaunt for the old horse, but the return trip was even slower—because there was quite a lot more weight to draw. With the second and third generations, however, our horizons have broadened decidedly and today the turkey-and-cranberries are but items in a large day which includes much visiting in distant cities, the football game, the matinee or the motor races. In California there are so many points of historic and scenic interest that sightseeing trips are becoming a feature of Thanksgiving. The matchless motor roads draw out... YOU'LL say you never tasted such flavor, such mild but full-bodied tobacco goodness. You're right, too, because they don't make other cigarettes like Chesterfields. The Chesterfield blend can't be copied. BROTHERS MAY FIGHT FOR BOXING CROWN COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 25. — Brother against brother. That's what Columbus boxing fans believe will come to pass in the near future. The two fighting O'Dowds, Phil and Eddie, are both hot on the trail of Johnny Buff, who holds both-the-flyweight and bantamweight championship of the world. Phil O'Dowd is a bantamweight. Eddie is a flyweight. Eddie boxed Buff recently and showed him enough boxing gloves to get the newspaper decision over the champion, although the judges ruled otherwise. Phil broke into the spotlight by lacing Joe Lynch. If Phil wins over the champion, he will cop only the bantamweight title, because he fights only at bantam-weight—118 or 120 pounds. Eddie is a legitimate flyweight, although he occasionally accepts a bantamweight match. If Eddie wins over Buff, he can claim both crowns, for he can fight at any weight Buff prescribes. No matter which O'Dowd boy fights Buff, if he wins, his brother will be the logical contender for the first match.
