A British peer advocates temporary
confiscation of a car for automobile
speeding. The remedy is, in the opin-
ion Of the Baltimore American, rather
drastic, but it is evident from the In
creasing number of accidents and the
disregard for life and limb manifested
by the speed maniacs that something
must be done in the way of punitive
legislation. The present system of
fnes is wholly inadequate; in fact, they
constitute but the smallest part of the
running expenses of motoring, and
plainly are so regarded.

THE Spokane show had thirteen

already in sight. Spokane gave ten
cups As prizes: We will give twenty
three. They gave no medals: we al.

There were $4,000 people in at.

We will have 100000 apples on ex-
hibition, and no telling how many
people will see them. ! can see now
that the Auditorium will not be able

YANKEE INGENUITY GROWS.

The yankee genius for invention
loses none of its fertility by reason Of
he heavy yield 1t produces year after
year. In point Of fact, the patent Of.
dee records show that there were
1000 more applications for patents
hast year than during the previous
year. bringing the total number grant
Cd to date up to 100000. Three years
hence, unless there is an unlooked-for
slump. the total will have passed the
100000 mark. Does invention pay?
This question has been answered In the
negative by those best qualified to
Judge. though 1t is a matter not easy
to determine. What with reckoning
the time spent in devising patent
able article. often the work Of years,
the outlay for models, attorney and
patent ONCE fees, and, most Of all, for
putting the inventions on the market.
1t looks doubtful that the grantees OF
the $4,000 patents issued last year.
Will. on the whole, reap q pecuniary
reward. To this must be added the
outlay Of as many thousand more
whose applications we're rejected. A
few. OF course, will strike 1t rich. but

pointment await the many.
