PATENTS AND MoNoPoLIEs
Law Should Work Forfeiture of Un
 used Patents.

From the Wall Street Journal
 In 1907 the Liberal government in Great Britain succeeded in passing into law very important act dealing with foreign patents. In effect, it made it necessary that an article patented in Great Britain by a foreigner should be manufactured in Great Britain. If it is not so manufactured anybody can apply to revoke the paptent and can proceed to manufacture the article forthwith. s ~"
 Justice Parker, one of the strongest lawyers of the kings bench, has now handed down a decision on the first for eign patent holders appeal under the terms of this law. in which he revokes the patent. In doing so he has laid down broader principle and one which ought to be good law in this country just as much as in England, while it may be callsd sound equity anywhere.
 In effect the English judge says that letters patent create monopolies and are, therefore, contrary to the spirit of CIle COullllull law as uSluS 1cStldiutS ou trade. They are only granted for the encouragement of trade and of inven- tions useful to trade and it is felt to be intolerable that they should be used exclusively to prevent the development of new industries or to fetter existing industries. Ee refers here to all pat ents, and not merely to those affected by the law of 1907. He proceeds upon the broad principle that patent, which in effect is monopoly, is granted not for the sole profit of individuals, but for the benefit of all.
 Our legislatures may very properly devote their time in preference to risky experimental legislation to extinguish dormant patents and franchises. A pat ent which is granted but not used, the title of which is restrained purely to restrict fair competition is monopoly in restraint of trade. It confers priv ilege never contemplated or intended. It fails to come within Justice Park CTS definition of a grant for the bene- fit of all. Failure to manufacture under 8 patent within a reasonable time should be automatically followed by the

luckier Than Swastika.

4 new good luck emblem has been found.
 Its discoverer-cynics might remark Its inventor-says it Is 5000 years old and that if brings far more good luck to its wearer than the swastika-for instance. health. money. love. friends, happiness-scarcely any good thing is left out of its catalogue. It is in the form of T with the center bar quite long and the suggestion of q horseshoe across the center of the top.
 If you are superstitious add this to your collection of good luck emblems. But. as tip. don't sit down with hap py folded hands and expect all these blessings to come to you. The worlds experience has usually been that If you want these good things of life you must get up and amble after them quite hurriedly.
