The real test of any book is what

Men Sacrificing Lives Under
Nearly Insurmountable
Obstacles.

Congress Is Only Asked to Use Some
of the Great Sums the Sys-
tenn Has Earned.

When the present patent Office build
ing was erected the government was ex-
amining only from 5000 to 5000 applica-
tons per annum and issuing from 1900
TO 1900 patents, but was even then piling
up surplus to the extent of from So
600 to $4,000. says Frank II. Drllry, in
American Industries. Since that time the
the last annual report of the commission
er shows that more than 10000 applica-
tons for patents We're filed in 1912 and
more than $1,000 patents issued. This
is supplemented by nearly 6,00o trade
marks and prints for which certificates
Of registration have been issued, and with
this increased business all conducted
under the same roof and same walls
the patent office made profit of over
$4,000 during the year 1919, bring
ing the grand total of surplus earned
since 1887 up TO s7,16oo17.35,
1t will thus be seen that Congress is
asked to turn back to the patent office in
the shape of new building and equip
ments only five-sevenths of the money
actua ly earned and laid aside by the
office.
There is no question whatever in the
mind of any one who has ever had any
occasion to visit Washington and go into
the patent Office that the accommodations
now set aside for the patent office are
absolutely inadequate and that they in
terfere seriously with the proper conduct
of the business and with the issuance of
patents to inventors.

Capital city.
When one thinks that we can spend
fourteen millions of dollars for a battle
ship that will be scrap iron in ten years
it would seem that the expenditure OF
S5.0OO,O0o for a building for the patent
office that will endure for generations
should be very simple thing. The bat
tleships may give prestige to our ma
tiens honor, uphold US in foreign fields
and preserve ,us from foreign entangle-
ments, but new patent Office will in
timately reach and touch the lives of
hundreds of thousands of our citizens
every year.
The bill in question has heen referred
to the committee on public grounds, and
1t is hoped that every manufactures and
inventor in the United States and every
one interested in the welfare of the coun-
try will write to their representative and
senator asking his cooperation in the
consideration and passage Of the bill In
question.

manufacturing, and to some extent the
commercial interests of this country are
based on patents, the loss Of such docu-
ments by fire or otherwise would be a
tremendous blow to the commercial in
terests of the country.
Force Constantly Growing.
Furthermore, the force employed in the
patent office is large and growing larger.
Many of them are men and women well
advanced in years. who have long been in
the service of the government, and, hem
med in as they are by filed offices and
corridors, a fire could not take place
without consequent great loss of life.
In many of the reports and bills intro
duced it has been contemplated that
changes could be made in the pres Mt
patent Office to accommodate the growing
business of the government. 1t would
seem, however, that While there is extra
open space about the present office and
new building M ght be erected thereon or
alterations and additions made to the
present building, such a plan would seri-
ously interfere with the working of the
office and in the end would not be as sat
and the erection of an up-to-date bust
ness build ng thereon.
This country is far behind other coun-
tries; Germany. for instance has spent
millions of dollars in new patent office,
which is fully equipped for efficient work,
while the number of patents applied for
and issued in that country is but a fac
ton of those applied for and issued in
the United States.
