Victims Of Shooting Season,

Seventy-four slain by gunfire is the
record of the shooting season, which
lasts just about as long as the foot.
ball season. OF these victims, most
were actually shot at, their rustline
In the bushes being taken for that OF
deer. No intelligent comment on
this chapter of accidents is possible
without knowing whether the homi.
cides were green hands, afflicted with
an acute form of buck fever, or sea
soned sportsmen caught off their
guard. The former seems most likely
to be the case. However that be-
hunting for deer must still count as
an extra hazardous pursuit, and the
recurrence of these tragedies of the
woods year after year. says the New
York Post, suggests that the state
may yet have to institute tests for the
use of gun. as It does for the
handling of motor car. Meanwhile,
1t cannot be too emphatically said
that the sportsman who under any
circumstances will shoot at a noise
is guilty of criminal carelessness. I'm.
happily, the law hardly reaches the
emergency, for no one ever classes
himself in the great roster of gun.

manor, as in several cases this
year, his woman.

Most of us have had the experience
OF belonging to some literary society
or club or debating circle which con.
sisted of little more than a name and
a list of members. For such at least
there is a suggestion in speech by
the president Of the National Fedora.
hion of Women's clubs, aud perhaps
some societies that really engage in
literary work may profit by it. too.
Said Mrs. Decker: 'T know a small
western town that has ten Shake.
speare clubs. Grasp, IL you can, the
full horror Of that. But the streets of
that town are dirty. and esthetically
the place is dead. There is no care
for child life, no interest in sanitation
no regard for the larges tssues-it is
all Shakespeare" In its place and in
formed by proper spirit the study OF
Shakespeare is large issue. But
consider the poetry of clean street!

An Objection to All Reforms.


Tudor jerks, discussing reforms
and reformers in the November mum
ber of the Worlds Work, avows with
considerable self-satisfaction, that he
has spent no small portion of his life
In skillfully avoiding the advocacy OF
any reform for long at time. Mr..
jerks says: There has been only
one serious objection to each reform
in turn as it presented itself. In every
case l have found the theory delight
ful, and have longed to make it my
own; but also, in every case, 1 have
been saved by the reformers them
selves. In short, the trouble with
each reform has been the advocates
OF it. So long as it could be ap.
preached as set Of mental ideas,
there was something delightful in the
thought of becoming one of the elect
OF the earth-of separating ones
self from the opportunists; of joining
some devoted band of martyrs; of
living and Theoretically, of course)
dying for cause. But just as have
reached the full flush of youthful en-.
thusiasm, it has always been my fate
to be presented to some light Of the
new faith, some enthusiast whose
ideas seemed to fit him little better
than his clothes; whose extrava
gancies of speech or of manner
matched his extravagancies of hair;
who was so absorbed in his own pc
culiar cult as to be entirely oblivious
to the many advantages de-ivable
from enlisting me in it. And it may
be that in my wounded self-esteem
lies the secret Of the repugnance
which the reformer has aroused
against the reform" This observer
concludes that we should be we'll on
toward the millennium were it not
that the reformers drive away those
whom the reform attracts. In fact !
he goes on to say: "The trouble with
reforms is invariably the reformers;
an' wish respectfully to suggest to
all those whose mission it is to better
mankind that they commit their
thoughts to writing, and forward
them in due course of mail to such
organs as will put the arguments into
cold type. The advantage of type is
that 1t never wears reform costumes;
is always habited in a decent suit of
black; never goes on talking when
the object of the reform wishes to
drop the subject. and is by its very
nature confessedly devoted to a sin.

astonishment of all her friends Edith
had declared her intention of not at
tending, and no persuasion would
i cause her to relent.
The waillngs OF Mary, however
arose to the skies. What? Miss the
biggest day in her year? Well. she
guessed not!" and 1t was finally ar.
ranged that that self-willed young per.
son should accompany the Scott.
Browns, who had the cottage adjoin.
ing the Brighton estate. A few min.
utes before she left she drew Edith
to one side
Where's that box OF candy you
promised?" she whispered.
"Oh. I'll get 1t for you, dear" Edith
assured herr
Huh! Can't eat promises" Mary
retorted, an impish light coming into
her eyes as she slipped beyond her
sisters reach. why didn't you get 1t
for me when you were in the village
yesterday"
II forgot 1t, dear. but / won't next
time," Edith assured her anxiousIy.
Edith went slowly into the house
and to her room, and threw herself
across her bed. She hid her face in.
the pillows. and sobbed forlornly.
In the meantime, Mary was not Idle.
A vigorous search of the boatclub
premises had failed to disclose the
presence of Bob Perry, but later she
spied him, seated dejectedly in the
abandoned reading room.
"Hello!" she remarked.
Bob glanced up, did not recognize
the child.
Hello" he said.
you don't know me-" Mary said
but" she added with an air of one
who holds the key to the situation.
I'm Edith Brighton's sister,"
lndeed?' he said, sudden light of
expectancy coming into his eyes.
VIII you sister be here to-day?"
Mary giggled.
No" she said, conclusively.
do you know why?" he asked.
eagerly.
Mary nodded mysteriously.
VIII you tell me? 1 wish very
much to know" Bob said, striving to
keep his voice level.
The child surveyed him with
shrewd, mischievous eyes.
VIII you give box of candy?"
she asked. 81
Yes. Here" he said, and handed
her dollar bill. which she pocketed
without an instant's hesitation.
oh
you." she said.
But why should she be ashamed
to meet me?" he queried.
Mary put her tongue in her cheek.
You know that day you were row.
ing, and came cross her swimming?"
Bob nodded. Well, she didn't have
on any bathing suit"
"Did-didn't have on-Oh! I see,"
Bob exclaimed. getting suddenly red
in the face.
You didn't then" Mary giggled.
And was that all?" Bob asked.
Every blessed thing, an she's
home cryin' her eyes out right now"
Mary asserted.
Five minutes later Bob Perry was
driving rapidly towards the Brighton
place. AS he neared the gate he
drew a card from his case, and wrote
across It.:
Dearest. Mary says that you were
hurt because did not come to see you
the first evening after my arrival here.

Velope. and gave to the servant who
him.
The minutes dragged slowly by to
Bob, pacing back and forth In the II.
,rary to which he had been shown.
Then his ear caught the sound of
light footstep. and Edith came slowly
nto the room. Her head was bowed,
md bright blush burned in her
cheeks.
Dearest. dearest" he whispered,
md took her. unresisting into his
rms.
And she never asked. nor did he say,
Why he had not called the first eren.

WILL SETTLE PATENT FIGHT
Supreme Court to Render Important
Decision To-day.
Alleged Infringement on the GOIding
OVeFFuIed on Appeal.

one Ok the most important and far
reaching questions Of patent law that has
come before the Supreme Court recently
is contained in an application to be pre-
scented to-day for a writ of ce-tiorari to
review a decision Of the Circuit Court Of
Appeals for the Third circuit. which. ac-
cording 10 the claims made. IL permitted
to stand. Will tend TO inyalidate thou
sands OF existing patents for inventions
covering processes Of manufacture which
do not involve chemical OF elemental ac-
ton.
The controversy arose over a su.y
brought by the Expanded Metal Com
pany and Chess Brothers. Of Pittsburg,
the latter controlling the right within the
States Of New York. Pennsylvania, Della
ware. Ohio. and West Virginia to manu-
facture under the patent granted John F.
Golding. 10 restrain Eugene S. Bradford,
Joseph c. Millichamp. Nicholas J.
Schumacher, and Nicholas J. Schumacher.
jr.. OF Philadelphia, from infring-
ing the Golding patent for making
expanded sheet metal The Federal Cir
cult Court at Philadelphia sustained the
foA4tA4Nt WI AAAt patent EtfJhAlAFA iltE tlt-
fringers. and ordered an accounting 10
determine the amount Of damages due
the company.
On appeal 70 the Court of Appeals. how
ever. that judgment was reversed and
the biz was ordered dismissed. on the
ground that the Golding invention was
not an invention az an, within the mean
ing of the patent laws. This conclusion
was based on a decision of the Supreme
Court some years ago in the case OF
RisdOu Iron and Locomotive Works YER
sus Medart. in which it was held that a
patent on a pulley which embraced only
its operations or functions was invalid
The present decision, according 10 the
petitioners counsel, goes still further. and
declares d process OF manufacture which
does not involve chemical or elemental
action 20 be Invalid This is contrary u
the finding Of the Court OF Appeals OF
the District OF Columbia. which has ap-
pellate jurisdiction over the Patent Office,
it holding TO the contrary that. in the
absence of "a distinct and positive utter
ance from the Supreme Court, patents
for processes of purely mechanical char
aCteT should. as heretofore, be granted
by the Patent Office. The Goiding patent
is for the process Of manufacturing ex-
banded sheet metal. which is extensively
used as lathing in modern building CON
struction, both In the United States and
abroad Similar patents have been granted
In Great Britain. France Germany. and
other countries which will likely be in
validated If the primary patent is void.
and counsel emphasize the deslrability of
having "a decision from the court on the
subject Of process patents because OF the
wide effect upon industries Of all manu-
featuring countries
