The administrations move against the

to destroy all hope of relief save in the

Gum Chewing.
York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
You would be surprised" said confec-
toner, ito know how the gum-chewing habit
has taken hold of men. We sell almost as
much gum nowadays to men as to women.
Young men don't buy it-not for their
own use. at any rate. Nearly all of our men
customers are past forty and large per-
centage of them are over sixty. They chew
gum, in some cases. as a means of breaking
off the tobacco habit but often simply be-
cause they are nervous and require some
thing to offset the nerve tension.
ut is an everyday occurrence for women
who don't chew gum to buy for their men
folks And until about three years ago
such a thing was unknown to confection-
ers."

Army Officers in Civilian Offices.

John w. Wilson of Chicago asks IF any
United States army officers are filling civil
positions In the Philippines? If SO, why?
And who pays them-Uncle Sam or the Phil
ippine government? How many United
States regular soldiers are so employed?''
Nineteen officers of the regular army are
detached for duty with the civil government
of the Philippine Islands. Seven are de-
tailed under an act of Congress to command
the Philippine constabulary, or local police,
with the temporary rank and pay of colonels,
and one, General Allen, chief Of the con-
stabulary. has the rank and pay Of a briga-
der general The difference between their
pay as captains of the regular army and
that of their present rank comes out of the
Philippine treasury. Captains Shanks, Offley
and Miller are governors of provinces, with
additional pay, which comes from the Phil
ippine treasury. Captain Cosby and Lieu
tenant Bell of the engineer corps are en-
gagged In constructing lighthouses, Captain
Ahern Is chief of the forestry bureau Sur
geon Major Carter is commissioner of pub
lie health at Manila. Major Kennon, assist
ed by Captain Martin and Captain Rowell,
is building a military road at the expense of
the Philippine government Captain Noble
Is aid-de-camp to the governor, and Lieu
tenant Smith is treasurer of the Mindanao
province under Major General Wood, the
military governor. No private soldiers of
the United States army are employed in any
capacity in the civil government of the Phil
fppines.

China's New Patent Office.

I wrote you some weeks ago about the
first patent ever issued in China. which was
for an electric burner. The inventor, by
imperial order, was given the exclusive
right to manufacture and sell his device.
This was an innovation. No such protec-
ton was ever granted to anyone before by
the government of China. 1t was regarded
as the beginning Of an industrial epoch.
The applications for similar protection from
other people became SO numerous that the
government at Picking decided to establish
regular patent Office and, under instruc-
tons, Sir Cheng-Tung, the minister here.
prepared for their guidance an account of
the methods employed and sent CODY of
the regulations In use at Washington. The
plans We're all completed, Tsai-chen-cheu,
son of Prince Ching, the prime minister
was appointed commissioner of patents a
building was provided and the new bureau
was about to begin business the middle of
last December. when the German minister
interfered. He notified the foreign Office
that his government was not satisfied with
the arrangement, and des. rel that the adop-
ton of patent system be deferred until he
could have an opportunity to investigate
the proposed plans of procedure and their
effect upon foreign interests.
This unexpected Intervention has COM
PEELED an entire suspension of the pro-
ceedings. Germany has undertaken no in
vestigation; the minister has made no
further inquiries, and has shown no other
signs of interest while the Chinese authori-
ties are too timid to proceed on their own
account or to ask an explanation. 1t has
not developed whether the Germans are
sincere In their desire to secure practical
system of patents or whether they have
decided to deprive inventors in China of
the exclusive rights that they enjoy In
other countries
