 "The Natives along tho Siberian coast had heard nothing of Stefansson the explorer who, with two compan- ions. left Martin Point, west of the mouth of the Mackenzie river, March %, 1914, going north over the ice in search of new land, and who expect ed to reach Banllsland. As the ex- plorers did not arrive at Banksland, and as they have not been heard of since along the Canadian and Alas kan coast, 1t was almost the last hope that his friends had entertained that the men might have been carried to Siberia on the ice. whose drift is steadily westward from the mouth of the Mackenzie"

KEwPlE's MY WORD
 SAYS ROSE o'NElLL

-l-
 "Kewpie" can't be used as a trade mark. says Rose O'Neill. the girl ar tist who introiuced the shocking bit of dolldom to a smiling world. Rose O'Nenl is now Rose O'Nein Wilson, and she has filed a protest against the application of William Hecht, who wants to use the word "Kewpie" as a tradesmark for children's clothes.
 Hecbts petition was granted by the Commission of Patents, and Rose O'Neill's motion to dismiss it was refused. The artist then appealed to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia which sustained tho de- cision of the Commissioner.
 'It is unnecessary" says the Scien- tiiic Amerdican, "to consider in how far the name Kewpie and the thing patented and copywrited are equiva- lent. or in how far "Kewpie" may be applied to goods of the same descrip- tive properties since opposer IS not in a position to object to the trade mark use of the word by the appli- cant. Before opposer can be heard. therefore, 1t must appear that she had used the figure or the word 'Kewpie' as a trade mark on goods of the same descriptive properties as the goods of the applicant to which the mark is applied and at Q date prior to its use by applicant Tn this she totally fails"
