Much has been said from time to time about the number of unoccupled farms in this part of the country, the failure to respond to the opportunity to furnish a larger proportion of the food required by the people of these New England states and the need of getting back 10 the farms. Regardless of such efforts as have been made a mew move is being un- dertaken in New Hampshire under a board of publicity for the purpose of arousing an interest in the opportunit of that state among those Who are seek- ing nev fields and might reasonaply see as great an ovportunity there as else- where.! This board rea‘izes that great numbers have gome from New Hamp- shire and_knowing that many sons are leaving ther homes in Ohio because of the lack of opportunities it has under- taken an zppeal to Xuch people for the purpose of informing them about and in- teresting them in New Hampshire. It feels that is the time to get such facty before thos¢/ who are looking for wha: chat state can offer, It 15 a movement that should have the cooperation of every organizatfon in the state that 18 working for the bettec- ment, of the commonwealth and a great- er utilizatlon of its advantages. If there are rot those within who are desirous of aiding in the further development of thé state it is certalnly time that others who weuld appreciate the opportunity are told about it It Is of course an ex- periment but one that Is worth trying. Tt shows that New Hampshire isn't ai posed to sit still and let the processes of dec’ine go on without making an ef- fort to offset them. It Is an undertaking that must neces- ily interest all of New England. There are other states which need just what New Hampshire does and possibly those | who could not be accommodated with-| in the borders of that state could be in- terested in other New England opportu- now nities. It is at least a capital time to be turning attention in this direction and to let ' pe known that New England is still walting for full advantage to be| taken of its matural advantages. —_— HELPING H OTHER.

With laws similar In character the chance for Connecticut and Madsachusetts to work together in protecting \themselves against the viola- tors of the motor truck requirements is one that should be fully improved.

There does- n't seem to be a single feature of her face of which she approves and whén she mentions her brand of eomplex- ion her voice trembles as though she were about to burst into sobs. It is very trying because she is dissatisfied twenty-four, hours of thevday, which is monotonous.”. “Then why. doesn’t she change her face?” inquired Demetria’s phflosophl'c father, lighting a cigar. “I shouldn’t think that was a difficult feat in these days of applied @oloring and wax in- sets! But what's the trouble with the one she has, anyhow? I always rather liked it!” “It's a very nicg face—infact, it is a prety one,” Demetria’s mother assured him. “She has a perfect comflexion beneath the one she puts on every hour or so from a box, and I have always been so glad that she inherited my family’s nose! A nose of the right sort does give one such distinction. The trouble arises from the fact that she is nearly 18 and when you are 18 you always have a spell of hating yourself—and this is her spell. “Yesterday, whenever I caught a glimpse of her she was twisting her neck off before the big mirrer with her hand mirror also in use. The trag- edy was that she had discovered a vast difference between the two sides of her face. She said that when you looked at her left side it was an ut- terly different face from that of the right side, which was youxr eye’s ob- jective, and that it was perfectly dread- ful to be two separate individuals, practical peaking! I gathered from her frenzied protests that an-unsus- pecting stranger, being introduced to the left side of her countenance, would never in the world recognize her, ap- proaching from thie right side and how | perfectly awful to go through life with such a handicap!” % 's Tather said. lutely alike!” De- assured him. “And she was furious with me when I told her so.

She should think, she told me with cutting scorn, that a mothbr would have sufficient intefest in her only daughter to devote a little time to helping her out. When in response to that I asked her just what she want- ed me to do,about it she wept vio- lently and departed.

But character reading as a science now steps rward to call the uncon- scious This is one of the cases where the popular im- pression is quite far from the scien- tific fact in character reading. You needn’'t be afraid of the red- head’s temper just because he or she is red-headed. Red hair does not de- note extreme fiery temper, the exag- erated active, practicgl, creative, en- thusiastic, impatient, irascible dispo- sition. As a matter of fact, red hai it” shows a slight inclination toward these things stands almost midway in the range of the characteristics by which we balance the active against the passive, the impatient against the tient, aggressiveness against cau- n. And if your red-haired subject has brown eyes instead of gray or blue, you can make up your mind that the’ inclination, is in the other direction, for not only does red hair stand about midway in the list, but eyes always count for more than hair in balanc- ing eharacter tendencies. Z In general the red-haired ones are only moderately positive, active, ver- satile, aggressive, combative, energetic and impulsive. «...Tomorrow—Color Gradations.... ] Massachusetts, while | lhe subsequently went to Providence, even worse since she has taken t6 tudying her eyes.” ¢ 4 g '-ve'mé in creation is wrong with her eyes?’ demanded her other pérent. ‘Demetria has really remarkable eyes— Jike those the women of my family) ha“":h: says they are set in instead of set out.” explained her mother pati- ently. “When the woe of the fact that she couldn’t possibly change her eyes overwhelmed her she said life absolu- tely wasn’t worth living| Didn't 1 see that she had perfectly ridiculous eyes?

Un- less you had eyes like that there sim- ply wasn't a particle of expression in your face—couldn’t I see that? And blue eyes always looked so faded?

ITe was induced by Governor Winthrop to go to Lynn, about 1642 as master mechanic to establish the “ iron and steel works”. He is the acknowledged head of the iron smelting and found- ing business, and the first builder of machinery in this country, and first patentee of inventions in America. hav- ing introduced the idea of protection for the manufacture of improvements by petition to the Government of Mas- sachus8tts Bay. The first patent granted to Jenks was for mill improvements and read as follows: “At a general courte at Boston the 6th of the 3rd mo. 1646 The Cort considringe ye necessity of raising such manufactures of engins of mils to go by water for speedy dispatch of much worke with fewe hands, and being sufficiently informed of ve ability of ye petitioner to pforme such workes grant his petition so far s concernes any such new invention, and so as it shal be always in ye powr of this corte to restrain ye ex- portation of such manufactures, and ve prizes of them to moderation if occasion so require.” In 1665 Jenks patented the present form of grass scythe, in 1652 he made dies for the first coinage of money, the “Pine Tree Shilling,” in 1654 he built the first fire engine, to the or- der of “the selection of Boston,” and in 1657 he built a forge and entered upon the manufacture of his improved scythes nine years before his appli- cation was granted. Inventor Jenks was a widower and left two -sons, Joseph, 11, and George, in England, who early followed him to. America. He married again in Lynn and bad three sons and two daughters His son, Joseph, was born in England in 1632, following his father to Lynn about 1647, and served at his business| i and machine business at Pawtucket Falls, founding the town of Pawtucket. His shops weré destroyed in King Philip’s war, but were rebuilt. By this enterprise the fouhdation " was laid which made that town the great “iron workshop of the colonies” and the place where skilled méchanics gather- ed, who since made Rhode Island not- ed for her steel and iron products, machinery and other manufactures. The American patent system was of Great Britain, which was the parent|§ stem. In 1672 the printed statutes of Connecticut provided that “there shall be no monopolies granted among us but of such new inventions as shall be judged profitable and for the bene- fit of khe country, and for Such a time as the general ¢ourt shall judge meet.” Massachusetts and Connecticut were the pioneers in adopting the British system, although - similar examples were found in the other colonies up to the time when the first United States patent law, the Act of 1790, came into force. The statute of 1790 provided‘for the granting of letters patent on “any useful art, manufacture, engine, ma- chine, or device, or any improvement therein, not before known or used. The petition for the grant was to Sec retary of State, the Secreta and the Attorney General, The patent was issued on the approval of these officials or any two of thom. The de- scription of the invention was certi- fied by the Attorney General and the President caused the grea seal of the United States to be affixed on his is- sue of the patent. In 1793 a new statute was passed making several changes in the system. Supplemental acts of 1794 and 1800 were passed. About the latter date the Jjudicial question arose as to whether the power of Congress was exclusive in the matter of patents, but the pre- cise point as to the right of a State to grant patents was not decided. Since then, however, the opinion has become settled that the power of Congress in the premises is exclusive. The year 1836 marks the beginning of an era in the patent system of the United States. In that year all-previ- ous statutes were repealed and a com- prehensive Act was passed which brought the system somewhat into its present condition, rteaining many old features but introducing new and im- portant changes. It was this year that the United States Patent Office was established.
