The postal authorities OF the United
States, as we'll as those Of Great Brit
ain, for a great many years exPe-
rienced great difficulty with the word
"only" on postal cards. The efforts
to avoid clumsiness and ambiguity
taxed the ingenuity Of the postoffice
people to the utmost.
The postofice department made six
attempts to find a brief, elegant and
unambiguous legend for the card.
An early postal card was inscribed:
Nothing but the address can be
placed on this side," which was Meth
er true nor elegant.
Nothing but the address to be on
this side" was more to the point. But
as 1t looked bad to the authorities,
they next evolved this legend: Write
only the address on this side" This
was objected to on the ground that 1t
barred the use Of typewriting ma
chine. write the address only on
this side, the message on the other,
came next, and was promptly criti.
cised as being both clumsy and am
biguous. Then the word only was
dropped, but without much improve
ment.
Finally Uncle Sans officials gave
up the struggle to be original. The
card then adopted and now in use
bears this inscription: THE space
below is for the address only

JAPs PIRATE TRADE MARK.
None of Our Protective Labels Safe
From These Oriental Imitators.

The japanese government is now full
ly alive to the urgent necessity OF
remedying the abuses which at present
flourish in connection with the piracy
and speculative registration of patents
and trade marks, and conventions be-
tween Japan and the United States
and Japan and Great Britain covering
patents and trade marks are to be sisn-
ed shortly.
1t is the custom of Japanese mer-
chants, for instance, to place on the
market brand of home made whiskey
in bottles bearing a label almost ex-
actly similar to those used by we'll
known foreign distilling firms. The
Japanese label will differ from the
foreign label in some inconsequential
particular discernable only through
close comparison. Other commodities
which seem to be the natural prey of
the trade mark pirate are table sauces,
toilet articles, stationery, cigarettes,
etc.
One point which cannot be too
strongly impressed upon American
commercial men is that, under Japan
csc law, priority of registration of a
trade mark is everything. In other
words, any japanese can initiate any
foreign or Japanese trade mark in the
world, and the patent Office will not re-
fuse him registration so long as the
forged trade mark is not already reg
istered in Japan.
The natural result of this provision
is that many japanese register on the
change of being able some time or
other to secure money for the surren-
der of this prior right.
The japanese authorities, however,
are beginning to realize that the pres
ent trade mark law is alike injurious to
foreigners and japanese. With refer
ence, for example to the grand EXPOSE
ton of 1912, preparations for which
are now under way, it is felt that any
suspicion of danger to the patent and
trade mark rights of foreign exhibit
tors would prove fatal to the pros
poets of the undertaking. A bill pro-
viding for the efficient protection Of
all foreign exhibits has already passed
the Diet, and the good faith of the
government in promoting this measure
cannot be doubted.-Tokio correspon
dence of the New York American.
