evil It is an evil also to allow them to go through the streets unrestrain- ed. But of the two the greater evil would be to allow the police to collect money of them. Therefore the Eng ush government chooses the lesser evil The same is done in other countries.
 we try to keep the streets clear of them. In that respect the city of New York is remarkable to European visitors here. Only the other day a m nember of the Board of Aldersalen of Old London, whose turn it will be to be. Lord Mayor in a year or two, ca1l- ed to see me and told me that that was of the most remarkable things that he saw here, the freedom of our streets from these women, com- pared with English and other Euro
 pean cities And yet we have quite
 number of people here and some sensational newspapers who are con stantly- holding this city up as immor- al and vile beyond any other place in the world. But visitors here to the city know that it is not true.
 --.tOf course our present social sys- tenn also forces many young women to go astray in order to get a living. When working girls are paid pittan- ces too little to support them it is not surprising if they yield to the tempta- ton of men. If they were paid ade- quate1y they would not yield. But cannot go into that subject. It is a large one, too large to be disposed of in a few words. All I can say to you is that we don't allow outward indecency in the streets by these wo-
 men. We do not allow the places where they live to become noisy or offensive. The police assigned to that duty get evidence against houses of ill-repute and arrests are being
 made all the time. I do not make any pretence that we can do away with the evil altogether. Do not misunderstood me at all Ever since I have been Mayor, ir addressing clergynen, or making public state n1ents, l have been entirely frank on this subject and subjects like it. will not pretend that we can do things which I know we cannot do. All we can do is the best we can do to keep the evil down. The police co1nmis- sioner says he thinks that these wo- men do not exceed 5000 in number in this city, but still that is a mere estimate. If that 5000 could all be got rid of, an equal number would very promptly take their place. That is perfectly well known to every one who knows anything about the mat ter. We have to work away against vices of all kinds and keep them down. Some think the Mayor should stop every vice and crime at once. Why all the preachers in the world have not yet brought about an ob servance of the Ten Commandments.' .''

There are very few patent eases which are fought through to the Unit ed States District Court which cost less than $2,0oO, and from that price the scale runs up very rapidly. Un- der the present system skilled coun- se1 can delay patent action almost in definitely, but under the new practice that will be eliminated and inventors and owners of patent rights will be better able to protect the same. The patent attorneys have been largely in strumental in bringing about the change of condition so that small men may have an equal chance with the bigger interests in protecting his pat ents. It is not thought by Attorney Newman that the new rule Will in any way effect the operation of the pat ent office, but states that there Is un- der adVisement some changes in the federal constitution which will prob ably also bring about some changes there. At the last session of Con- gress a committee was appointed to looks fnto tl1as question of patent of flee changes and report back to the next session of Congress with their recommendations. .4 It is probable that this matter will be included in Pres ident Wilson's call of an extra session of Congress.
