BETHLEHEM STEEL co.
WINS PATENT SUIT
Court Decides Concern Did Not
Infringe Upon Right to Man
ufacture Projectile.

The Bethlehem steel Company won an
important victory today in the decision
Of Judge Woolley, of the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, reversing a rul-
ing of Judge Dickinson in a lower court
in an armor-pIercing proiectile patent
suit Cleiand Davis, holder of patent
for a similar SHE'LL sued the steel COM
pany for infringement.
The DAVIS patent is now owned by the
Firth Sterling steel Company. Al the
time the suit was brought, the Bethlehem
Steel Company held a large contract to
make the proiectile for the United States
Government This contract was not af-
feCted by the lower courts decision,
which directed the company to fulfil It
and then halt the manufacture of tho
proiectile.
In the opinion of Judge woolley It is
held that prior art in the manufacture
of proJectiles anticipated the combination
arrived at by Davis and also by the
Bethlehem Steel Company in their shells.
The chief advantages of each shell are
the range and armor penetration.
The United States Government had been
the sole consumer of the shell made by
the Bethlehem Steel Company prior to
the filing of the suit. Under the decision
handed down today the proiectile may
be made for any one. The ruling may
have an important bearing on orders from
the warning nations of Europe given to
the Bethlehem Steel Company

THE question of amalgamatlng a di-
verse and recently acquired element of
our population is the real problem which
confronts the educational systems of our
States and municipalities The starting
point of fusing these elements must begin
with the public schools. The public school
system of Philadelphia is one of the great

and development of the typical Ameri-

THE sailor who steers toward a star"
said Charles D. Eagles in his salutatory
address, brings his ship to some good
port. Some of the greatest achievements
in the history of civilization have been
incidental to the pursuit of another line
of work. But it is not enough to dream.
In the well-balanced character the in
clination to act must be as strong as
the inclination to aspire"
