To the Editor of The Star: Your two very interesting and able editorfals of December 2 and 4 en- courages me to ask the privilege of saying a few words on the condition {and needs of the patent office. i Every class should be Interested In |maintaining an eficient patent office: | those who opposed to the patent system because it is the one factor the function of which i®to protect the public agaigst ¢laims for patents that arc unwarranted; inventors, be- cause they will get competent treat- ment of their applications at moder- ate cost; manufacturers, because they Wit be relieved from many burdens now suffered by u of improvi- dent grants and ¢ re upon the conclusions of the o - n making |developments, and the s, eial pub- Jlic, because of th: henetiis that would come from the stabilizing of indus- . from prompt develop- ndustries which would uncmployment, and | ion of foreign' com- o large a part of our ¢ new and ingenious £ the office Founss men w the nillary It atso to srumbor of men who were found aualiticd to perform ot lines of work useful in prosccuting the war. ho left the office ¢ come back. Thelr filled by men not cxperience and_without 'k of the office, but, generally speaki education, for the Insufficient to attra echnical training reguired to per- form the duties of examiners and. as. sistant examiner. In the three vears which hav elapsed since the armistice the mame ber of applications has rapidly in- creased. Taking the averuge for five years before the war the increase for 1919 was 13 per cent, for 1920, 21 per cent, and for this year the indications ‘are that ‘it will be 32 per cent. To meet the emergency created by this great increase of business noth- ing has been done in improvement of salaries and little has been done in increase of force. Relatively to the pei before the war, the force is today much smaller in proportion to the ‘work that it has to do, and is made up of men who on the av- , erage are of distinctly inferfor train- ) ing and less experience. This all means that the system of granting patents only after adequate examination is being broken down v inattention to the needs of the office. The work is piling up, with resultant confusion in the office, loss to_inventors and slowing down of industrial development. But delay cannot go on indefinitely. The re sult has been and will increasingl be diminished care and completeness in the examination of applications, with the attendant evils. s constantly said that the of- s its own way. In the last ars it has turned back into Teasury about $1.366,000 more than the entire appropriation for it But, on the other hand, there is no reason why public money should be wasted. no matter where it is drawn from, and, on the other hand. the income of ‘the office is not the meas- ure of its needs nor of the service it renders to the public. In_ order that the office may be kept self-sus- taining provision ‘is made in a_bill now pendifig for increase in the fees, and I am certain that the business interests of the country fully ap- prove this course. 1 do not, how- ever, think this a matter of great importance. The important thing is that the needs of the office be intel- ligently studied by Congresd, and that when ascertained they be pro- vided for. On mo other condition can our American system of grants of patents after thoTough examina- tion be maintained. THOMAS EWING. —_— .JASKS POLICE TO SEARCH. Chicago Mother Wants Word of Missing Son. Local police have been requested to aid Mrs Carrie Perkins of 2024 West Madison avenue, Chicago, to find her son, Carl Furrer. The last word re- ceived from him, Mrs. Perkins said, was at the end of the war and at that time he stated he was employed in Woodward & Lothrop's department store. Inquiry revealed no one an- swering his name and description had worked there. Mrs. Perkins, son as thi who described her v-one vears old, about six feet in height. light hair and blue eyes, said. “I will not be many more years on this earth and I long so for just a word from him.” SATLOR’S INJURIES FATAL.

OPTIMISTIC IN DRY TALK Outlining the activities of prohibi- tion enforcement agents throughout the country, Prohibition Commission- er Roy A. Haynes addressed the clos- ing session of the twentieth national convention of the Anti-Saloon League of America at the First Congrega- tional Church last night. Mr. Haynes was optimistic over the reports from state prohibition officers in enforcing the eighteenth amend- ment, and gave statistics to show ‘wonderful increase in arrests for those violating the law in the past six minths. Resolutions were adopted asking the American government to make overtures to Spain to prevent a Span- ish trade embargo against Ireland in the event of Ireland’s going dry and therefore affording no market for Spanish intoxicants. Abstinence, while in this'country, of Marshal Foch and Gen. Diaz was com- mended in a resolution. All law-en- forcement officlals who have done their sworn duty were congratulated and severe censure was recorded against the derelict. - Efforts at world prohibition were extolled, and the organization again went on record as affirming that it is a constituent of the World League Against Alcoholism. Newspapers that support © prohibition were highly praised. TRIBBY’S Charles E. Tribby, Jr. ‘Twelve (12) Years on 15th Street 615 15th St. N.W.
