A—8 GERVIANS DONATE | §2,000 FOR BRUNO Storm Rally in New York to Raise Money for His Defense. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 28.—Bruno Hauptmann's defense fund was richer today by more than $2,000, the con- | simple tribution of thousands of wildly en- thusiastic Germans who stormed a rally in his behalf. ‘Their donation will be added to the $15,000 previously raised to appea) the carpenter’s conviction on a charge of | killing the Lindbergh baby, who was | stolen from his crib three years ago tomorrow. Police estimated the crowd in the Yorkville Casino last night as high as 6,000, with 3,000 more milling outside. Officers had to protect Mrs. Anna Hauptmann, wife of the condemned man, from women who pressed around her as she made her way to the plat- form. Reinforcements had their hands full clearing a path so that she and Edward J. Reilly, defense at- torney, could leave after the rally. Sympathy for Sufferers. “My husband as well as I have #ympathy for those who suffer,” Mrs. Hauptmann said. “We are sorry a crime like this has been committed because we ourselves have a child which we love. “We beg God that the kidnaper of the Lindbergh baby will be found.” “A great injustice has been done,” said Reilly. e “The man who is guilty should be hung, drawn and quartered. But that man is not Bruno Richard Hauptmann. “Somewhere in the United States, ecoffing at the law enforcement au- thorities, is the real kidnaper.” “Fortunately,” the lawyer declared, “there is a higher tribunal where 15 Judges will pass on his case. “If that unfortunate carpenter went to his death there are millions in the United States who would still believe the kidnaper is somewhere laughing at the authorities.” Mrs. Hauptmann brought a mes- #age from the death house at Trenton, N. J. She told her hearers that Hauptmann sent his thanks to “all who can feel for us.” Admission Charged. ‘The rally was held in Yorkville, center of New York's German-born population, which in 1930 totaled more than 237,000. Each person admitted was charged 25 cents and a box 2 feet square was piled almost a foot deep with contributions, some of them $20 bills. Reilly was loudly cheered and ap- plauded, while each reference to Col. Lindbergh and to New Jersey’s at- torney general, David T. Wilentz, who prosecuted the carpenter, was greeted with boos and jeers. TRIO HELD IN $12,500 U. S. MAIL ROBBERY Three Jailed in Hazard, Ky., on Charge of Looting Truck of Pay Roll Money. By the Assoctated Press. HAZARD, Ky, February 28— Floyd Hadden, Ralph Hall and Mar- vin Hall, arrested near Jackson yes- terday afternoon on charges of rob- bing a United States mail truck of $12,500 in pay roll'money yesterday morning, were brought to Hazard and placed in the Perry County Jail last night.

BOSTON, February 28 (#).—For the third time in little more than 10 years Massachusetts vesterday re- Jected ratification of the child labor amendment to the United States Con- i stitution.

Invent something and make a fortune! ) Of all the “get-rich-quick” schemes of mankind the fleld of invention holds the greatest allure. Millions have been made on some idea. And the dream of wealth and ease has been the incen- tive behind many of the world’s greatest inventions. Yet the United States Patent Office has a record of hundreds of inventors who are giving away fortune-mak- ing ideas for the welfare, comfort and convenience of the American public and mankind at large. This record is contained in a pat- ent file marked “none required.” It's real label is “dedicated to the public.” No Royalties to Be Asked, Patents listed under that heading have been issued to individuals who have donated their inventions to the people o the country, with the un- derstanding that they are to receive no royalties or other pecuniary re- turn for the products of their in- ‘The are 1,800 patents to date under this title, with 10 more to be issued on the traditional Tuesday when patents will next go through. A total of 1810 governmental employes in have donated their ideas to the serv- ice of the people of the United States. They have never gotten and never will receive a penny of remuneration from them.

The law is “per- THE EVENING BTAR, WASHINGTO missive” only. The act operative in| of demln‘ water in butter, a proc- | flow of patents dedicated to the pub- their case, first passed in 1883, and modified to its present wording in 1928, reads as follows: “The com- missioner of patents is authorized to grant to any employe of the Govern- ment a patent for any invention without the payment of any fee when the head of the department or independent bureau certifies such in- vention is used or liable to be used in the public interest.” - Up to 1928, the 725 patents thus issued were openly dedicated to all mankind; the 1928 act made it neces- zary that inventions must be manu- factured and used by or for the Government or governmental pur- poses. Employes of the Army and Navy Departments follow this prac- tice rigidly. B In other departments and bureaus, the general practice varies with cus- tom. In the Agricultural Depart- ment, for example, it is the order for the patentee to dedicate his inven- tion to “all the people,” and assign his rights to the Secretary. Depend- ing upon his assignment, however, whether the invention comes as a result of experiments carried on in or outside the line of duty, it may still be possible for him to take ad- vantage of the special act and re- celve commercial benefits from his patent, too. All Types of Patents. In that file are patents for every- thing imaginable, from insect traps to paint-remover. The first recorded patent issued under this “permis- sion” of 1883 ‘is dated 1890--philan- thropy came a little hard, at first. This patent No. 1 is for a ship's binnacle, or compass stand. Then, not for 15 years was there another, according to the records. In 1905 there was issued patent No. 2, for & new way to put up seeds in pack- ages. No. 3 was for a novel method ess any housewife can do with one In the 36 years between 1883 and 1919, only 187 patents all told were issued. In that latter year alone, however, 20 were granted without the payment of the $30 which is nor- mally required to register patents. 8ince 1920 there has been a steady D lic, at the rate of more than 100 each year. They have been for compasses, explosives, radios, artificial limbs, afr- conditioning, processes for making cheese and many other things. The number has steadily increased, so that last year, with 277, saw the largest number filed. In latter years the Army and Navy employes have been the steadiest phil- anthropic patentees. There have been a few issued to other scattered de- partment people, but not in any quantity. Among the latest patents issued under this act have been im- provements on small and heavy arms, airplane propellors, signal flares, air- ways beacons, audible speed indicators for airplanes, party line telephone de- tectors, and, we submit this one for whatever you can make of it—“proc- ess for the preparation of alkyl aryl The Night Final Edition on White Paper The use of pink paper has been discontinued in the Night Final Edition of The Evening Star and hereafter the front page of this edition will be printed on White paper.
