PATENT LAWYERS SHY
IN STENOGRAPHER LINE
Difficult to Secure Women Who
Understand Machinery

Patent lawyers say they will gladly
pay from SIS to $50 a week to stem
ographers who can do their work. and
as much as $50 week is sometimes
paid.
The work is hard and exacting, the
hours long. You must be familiar with
law work. You should learn to read
drawings, and as inventors generally
want patents on machinery. taste for
bolts, screws and mechanism in general
would be of great help.
weary patent lawyer poured out
some of his woes much as follows, says
the New York Sun:
In the last four years we have tried
about 100 stenographers. Many of
them we have kept varying lengths
of time, seldom longer than two years.
1t takes nearly four hours to test
stenogra pher thoroughly"
He conceded that very few young
women show what they can really do
under such circumstances; that often
an intelligent and well educated ste
nographer will not show what she is
capable of until the first strangeness
of work and surroundings has worn off,
and he said he would gladly engage
without trial any one who would come
to him with references from another
patent lawyer, but no one ever did. He
could only conclude that when women
left places with patent lawyers they
either rushed into matrimony or took
up quite another branch of steno-
graphic work.
He showed some of the drawings
which stenographer would be called
upon to read. To the uninitiated it
would be task indeed. A person
trained in the work can read them as
a musician reads a musical score.
In reading notes in patent work con-
text does not help as much as it does
in dictation on ordinary subjects. For
instance, in some systems of shorthand
you would write tap and top" moi
only with the same outlines, but in the
same position. Yet substituting one
these words for the other In the tran
script of a dictation might necessitate
a patent lawyer. spending an hour
hunting over his laboriously worked up
notes to see which was right. A
woman who could do the work properly
would be nearly priceless.
Women have SO much less aptitude
for machinery than men have that it
might seem natural to employ young
men as stenographers in a patent law
yer's Office, but young men are not con-
end of Iew years they insist on grad
uating from the weary grind of the
machine. On the other hand a woman.
if her salary is judiciously increased,
is willing to go on through the patient
years taking notes and writing them
out. OF course. there is the percentage
of loss through marriage, but that is
not very large.

BERKELEY. March 2s-The mer-

ings in the Berkeley hills near Clare

An attempt IS being made to secure

$3.50 a car for switching freight from
Oakland to Berkeley. Another COM

NEW FRENCH GAS LIGHT
PRAISED BY CONSUL
Recent Invention Declared to Be
Cheap and Practicable

Deputy Consul General BARLEY F.
Yost of Paris transmits to the bureau
of manufactures two circulars in
French containing illustrations of a re-
cent gas light invention, which he thus
describes:
The Bee Economique Galile gas lights
invented by NJ. Galile of Nancy. France
are enjoying a large sale in this coun-
try owing to their inexpensive opera
tion. While the invention is patented
in Europe and the United States yet il
is my understanding that the lamps are
not yet manufactured in the latter
country. 1t would therefore seem that
American manufacturers of gas lights
would be greatly interested in this new
invention and would find ready sale for
the lights.
A number of different models of these
lights were on display at the exposi-
tton dalimentation recently held at
Paris, where they attracted much at
tention. A gold medal was secured for
one of the lights at the exposition de
Nancy the last summer. The lamp
proper is of medium size, and may be
attached to an ordinary gas fitting. In
stead of having a mantle suspended
from the gas burner. as with the ordi-
nary gas light. the pastille is placed
upon perpendicular metal bar which
is placed parallel to the gas feeder, the
latter being bent and pointing toward
the pastille at right angles. The feeder
is perforated and may be shifted back
and forth at will, according to the
amount of gas one desires to employ.
The pastille. instead of being cone
shaped. is a disk about one-fourth inch
in diameter and is stretched across a
tiny metal frame. The feeder is op-
Grated by a thumbscrew. A disk will
wear five or six months, and they may
be purchased at 40 cents per dozen.
The small amount of gas consumed by
this light is the special attractive fea-
ture. five liters being sufficient for one
hours use At this rate the expense
of the light would be reduced to a
minimum of one-fifth of 1 cent for IL
hours. The light casts a soft white
light. and. while not especially inten-
sive, is of sufficient brilliancy for a
hall, stairway, telephone booth. lava
tory, or place where a strong light is
not needed. Without the globe this
light retails locally at 6.5 francs
(s1.25). 1t is said to be perfectly safe
and odorless and always ready for use.
The other light to which reference is
made, the Bee Combine Galile. has an
ordinary large mantle in addition to the
disk referred to and produces a much
stronger light when both pastilIes or
only the larger one is in use. If de-
sired, only one at time may be used.
This lamp is designed for kitchen use.
hotel offices and other places where a
continuous light is unnecessary. 1t is
also very inexpensive. The regular
price without the globe is S165, with
an additional 10 cents for the globe
This light was invented only a few
months ago and is apparently not
not known in the United States.

OAKLAND, March 9-Dr. E. ~
Ever. health officer. issued a statement

eases spread by flies than by any other
means of contagion. Every effort

but for the safety of the members of
the family
The board of health will do what it

BERKELEY COUNCIL
CHANGES SALARIES
Chief of Police Vollmer Given

BERKELEY, March 29.-Chief OF Po-

from s175 10 $500 month today. Com

was also entitled to certain fees which

The salary of City Assessor Harry r.
Squires was lowered from S175 to s125
on account of economy. Squires will
now receive less money than his as
sistant, ~ c. Tabor, who was raised 70

doing extra work during Squires i'll
ness.
The council dismissed j. c. Ray, a
sewer inspector. on the recommendation
of Commissioner W. F. Mcclure.
