extracted text (Extract Text): IN Switzerland, when the sol-
diers practise target shooting,
they make use of umbrellas to
protect their eyes from the sun.
Artists, the world over, use
umbrellas for the same protec-
tion.
In hot countries the umbrella
is an important part of the day's
equipment. In the jungle one may see a savage king carried on
state occasions upon the shoulders of his naked attendants,
holding aloft a ragged, rib-protruding umbrella, the relic of some
missionary."

. ‘And an umbrella has also been known as the shoplifter’s
friend; a handy receptacle for stolen articles.
