AS TO TRADE MARKS,
Patent Officials Satisfied With the
Present Law.

With the opening of each session of Con-
gress merchants and others who are In the
habit of using trade mark for Identifying
their goods begin the agitation of some
change in the laws that they feel will give
them greater protection. 1t appears that
Congress in this instance, as has been the
case in many others, has failed to make
statute that satisfies all alike.
A bill affecting the trade mark laws of
the United States was passed by Congress
and was put into effect April l. This bill it
was felt by the members of the committee
who had recommended its passage after a
careful investigation of the subject met all
the requirements and 1t explicitly declined
to make violation of the trade mark laws
criminal offense punishable by fmprison-
ment or by fines. The matter was held to
be one of purely civil rights and a provi-
sion In the bill making 1t criminal offense
was stricken out in order that 1t might not
obftruct the passage of the bill.
1t is now intimated that at the coming
session Of Congress an effort will again be
made to have a bill passed making a VIOLA
ton of the trade mark law a criminal Of
Tense 1t can be said that such a measure
will not meet with the approval of the pat
ent office officials, as they express them
selves as thoroughly satisfied with the law
as IL now stands.
It was pointed out to a reporter for The
Star today that the trade mark is purely
matter of civil right and that many times
a conflict occurs purely as a mater of ac-
cident and in no manner a matter of de-
sign. II was claimed that 1t would not be
right to make the violation of the trade
mark law a criminal offense because 1t is
known by the department that many of the
cases of conflict In trade marks are of an
innocent nature and really without the
slightest intent to defraud. It was pointed
out that merchant manufacturer in
San Francisco might choose the design used
by merchant or manufacturer In New
York without knowing anything of the CO.
incidence until I'm the course of time the
merchants spread their territory until they
tapped and then the matter would come up
for settlement But it could not OF course,
be said that either merchant was a fit sub
ject for criminal prosecution.
The law is entirely satisfactory TO the
department and promoters for change in
legislation will not have the support or sym
pathy of the officials of the patent office I'M
der whose control the trade marks come

The Girls of Caddo.

From the South McAIester Q. t. News.
Caddo has some real live girls. A tender
foot struck this town yesterday and pro-
ceeded to accumulate an overstocked cargo
Of gayety. He selected for his subjects a
couple of girls with quite as fervid an ap-
probation of fun as he had himself. Simu-
latlng anger because OF his advances, they
took after him and chased him across back
lots through a Mexican's temale patch and
the last seen OF him he jumped over q
when he faced his pursuers fell on his knees
and his prayer was: MY God, you don't
intend to kill me, do your The man still
lives and the girls wear smile that won't

The Filtered Free Baths.
From the New York Globe.


Among the picturesque absurdities turned
UP by the Association for the Improvement
Of the Poor result of its examinat ton
of the citys free baths is the spending of
large sums of money in altering water for
bathing purposes. the same water being
universally used unfiltered by the bathers
for drinking. This remarkable example of
political prophylaxis deserves "a prominent
place in the annals of hygiene. 1t is one
of those striking things which the foreign
sanitarian goes home and tells his country
men about to illustrate the great advances
being made In this country. Naturally 1t
never occurs to him to inquire II the drink
Ing water Is also uttered: he assumes that

Eskimo who. after his first experience In
