Are we likely to give them more by shutting up the church and si- lencing voices that are directed be- yond the churches?” Dr. Grant began his sermon with the assertion that it seemed worth while to call attention to “other sides of the present interesting discussion than those one sees in the newspapers or gets from ecclesiastical persons,” “One or two of the clergymen who aré writing for the press have said | that my interest is publicity.

That is absurd, for I have been saying the same thing for forty years.” A laugh swept the congregation as he added: “IForjunately for the other person involved, the matter has not been for forty years standing.” Mrs. Lydig who usually occupies a front pew of the church, had taken a seat near the rear before the sermon began. 8, Vogel Sons, § and Products Co, $37; Wilkinson Candy Co,, $100; Silver Brothers, $31, all of Hartford | George Thresher, $27; Frank C.| Radil, $44; Miner, Read and Tullock, | $184; W, G, Muller, $103; C, Hjerpe, §45; Yankowitz and Solomon, LK Zigmund Yankowitz, $5 ropolitan Candy Co,, §b Winter Printing Co.,, $40; Athanosios Athan- asianchis, $100; all of New Britain, Caldwell Co,, Meriden, $236; W.

PATENT OFFICE IS STILL WAY BEHIND INITS WORK Additional Clerks and More Salaries Does Not Enable Workers | to Keep Up | Washington, Jna. 29.—Despite the | marked increase of salaries and the additional twenty-nine examiners and twenty-two clerks granted last spring, the Patent Office is no more advanced & in its work than it was a year ago. This is shown by the fact that the number of pending applications await- ing action which on Jan. 3, 1922 was 60,244 has now increased to 71,173 (Dec. 29, 1922). It has been expected that the in- crease in salaries would have the ef- fect of checking the large number of resignations of the examiners to ac+y cept more lucrative positions else- where. This has not proven to be thé case, however, and the Patent Office is still having difficulty in getting and retaining first-class examiners. It was recently stated at the Commissioner's office that within 49 working days, 22 submitted resignations. The seriousness of the situation is shown in the fact that even before| that exodus began, there were seven- teen vacancis on the staff. Since it re- quires two men during their first experienced examiner, it will be ap- parent that this deficiency of thirty- nine indicates a need of seventy or eighty new men in order to put the| staft on a suitable working basis. | It may be argued that this problem | | and its solution is wholly for govern- | ment consideration; but there are re- sponsibilities outside the Patent Of-| fice that cannot be dodged. There has | been altogether too great a raid on | the Patent Office staff during the past few years.
