Number of issued patents, designs and trademarks increased from 57,512 during 1923 to 63,062 last year. Inventing offers wonderful rewards for those who are successful. Apparently the fact is well recognized, judging from the increasing numbers that go in for it. Why Putter Along? T IS declared to be the concensus of opinion of those familiar with army and navy conditions that, if President Coolidge cannot get the great foreign nations into a conference for limitation of air forces, there will be an irresistible demand for the creation of an American air force second to none. Then why temporize or postpone? Why not look the truth squarely in the face? The most ardent advocates of the bat- tleship admit, and it was demonstrated beyond cavil in the world war, that the airplane is at least a highly important and absolutely necessary arm. No doubt as to the truth of this, is there? It is an indisputable fact that France, Great Britain and Japan have air forces greatly superior to America’s. They have spent hundreds of millions on aircraft and their legislative bodies are proposing the expenditure of millions and millions more. No secret about this. How preposterously wild the proposi- tion that all of these nations will consent to scrap their airplanes to the American level! There is a world of difference between scrapping battleships and scrapping air- planes, A battleship is a war machine and nothing else. An airplane is a commercial machine, but convertible, in a few days, into a war machine. To limit the produc- tion of aircraft is on a par with limiting railroads, telephones, radio and telegraph poles, which mean commercial progress and efficiency, primarily, but which will certainly have their part in the next war. Are not all the statements the truth? If so, why temporize; why put off? Mr. Coolidge can do no more popular thing than to demand appropriations for the equipment of our nation with an adequate supply of the machines that mean prog- ress in peace and protection in war. It would indicate sense, good government and, finally, economy, Mr. President. ? ? Q. Does the thinness of gluss}ertreme height. Make it transparent? A. Glass is not necessarily trans- parent; in fact, it can be opaque or transluscent even when very thin. The transparent quality is due to certain ingredients introduced to re- move the color. In modern glass- making, derivatives of soda, potash and lime are mostly used for that} purpose. in Q. What is the population of Can- z ada? Page Dave A.

The field of literary verse larger than even the astronomer have visioned. So, once again, we have a nice plausible story to the effect that Booth, assassin of Lincoln, lived to a ripe old age, despite the fact that a half-dozen or more different men swear that they shot him, The government surrounded the fate of Booth with much secrecy, neglect- ing to spoil the stories to be perpetrated by future writers by hanging his body on the gates of Washington for a few days. ho certain s oT to form were ient icien first rebe endeavor is a un Keeping Them Clean HE States annually than miles of motion picture films, valued at ebout $7,000,000.

Even Java, Hedjan and Madura, hardly recognizable to the average Amerjcan, are marts for our silent dramas and comedies. For this reason it is all the more impor- tant that the American motion picture be kept clean and wholesome for the effect of its influence abroad. It Is the Girl Herself “T)OWN with the flappers, say fash- ion's dictators.” That makes a good enough newspaper United 000 exports headline, but you are not going to see any fashion dictators downing any flappers. The green shoes, flesh-hued stockings, short skirts and face palette do not make the flapper. It is the disposition, proclivi- ties and character of the girl that ma the flapper, and these things the fashion dictators cannot reach. True, the fashions of dress are taken, as a rule, to designate the flapper, but, attired in a Mother Hub- bard, or a sheet with three holes in it, the flapper would still flap. century, and there are now a num- ber of specimens in t There are also many va 17th| United States. t country, were in- the FROM Readers STAR ry fine entertainment.
