No Blanks I'm This Competition.

ASV AAA - AzAS YAH n
This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors risking the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling his
for the amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims CompaDy's offer is something different.
Each person is asked merely to help himself,
and the one who helps himself to the best ad-
vantage is to be rewarded for doing it. The
prize is only q stimulus to do something that
would be we'll worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for a club
house on q certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very little use
to him. But the person who patents u simple
and useful device in the Press Claims Com
panyis competition, need not worry if he fail
to secure the prize. He has a substantial re-
suit to show for his work-oRe that will com
mand its value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to i'm
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds in combining simplicity and popular
ity, will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from the fact that its stock is held by
abont three hundred of the leading newspa-
pers of the United States.

ROBBED THEM WITHOUT MERCY

Queer MISUNDERSTANDING Of an APP
prentice Hand In Turkish Bath.
When the new apprentice assumed
duties at the Turkish bath establish
ment the manager thought lie seemed
rather stupid and entered into long
explanation of what he was to do,
says the New York Herald. He par
ticularly emphasized the command
that the attendant was to rub EN-
without mercy
During the day the manager heard
q great many complaints from his
patrons that they had lost their per-
sonal property. He thought that a
sneak thief must have come in to get
washed, and resolved to be on the
look out. He discovered nothing,
however, though he peeked around
most of the day like an amatuer de-
tective, hiding in all sorts OF places.
Toward the time when the new at
tendant was to 60 off duty the latter
went into the managers office and be-
gan behaving with much mystery. He
walked around like O wet hen, waiting
until the coast was clear. When there
was none but himself and his chief in
the Office he tiptoed up to the door
and locked it. Then he produced from
his pockets five gold watches, some
diamond rings, few scarfpins and a
gold headed cane, which he set forth
with great pride before the manager,
who horrorstruck. recognized the ef-
fects as belonging to his customers.
