tie Of cough mixture the other day and
complained that it contained more than

DR.. Wiley paid high tribute to chemists.
He said:
THE men who made the millions for
the steel trust were a few struggling
chemists laboring for SIS a month.
Every advance In medicine is cautioned
by chemistry, murderers and would-be
murderers are captured and punished by
the means Of chemistry. and even the

ponds upon the discoveries and work of
chemists. Chemists are most valuable to
any community, for, as French minister
once said, they make or provide for the
making of everything that can be taxed
by the government"
Rear Admiral Nathan Twining, chief Of
the bureau Of ordnance of the Navy De-
partment, spoke of the value of the
chemists aid in making and caring for
explosives and big gun projectiles.

GROWTH OF THE BUSINESS

A symposium on the United States pat
ent SYSTEM at the meeting of the Amer
lean Institute of Chemical Engineers in
the New Willard Hotel this morning con-
sisted of protest against the congested
conditions existing in the patent office.
f. b. Moore, commissioner of patents,
was to have read a paper upon THE
United States Patent Office" but owing
to illness the commissioner was unable
to appear. His paper was read by Edwin
A. Hill. assistant examiner in the clas-
sifcation division.
The paper told how the number of pat
ents and applications have outgrown the
accommodations. and it was recommend
ed that the chemists exert their influence
with Congress to bring about remedies.
The paper stated that the fees taken in
at the Office would nearly pay for the
improvements that are needed.
One of the chemists, a member of the
Chemists Club Of New York, asked what
it would cost to have a list of the pat
ented chemical formulas published. He
was informed by Mr.. Hill that, although
the expense would be small, there was
not room enough in the patent Office to
have the work done there. And the rec
ords cannot be taken from the building
