Could Repay Expenditures.

1t is his reference that, properly
equipped to meet the constantly in
creasing demands which are made up
on it, the office would be able to re-
pay the government in a few years
for an expenditure which should logi-
cally be taken to protect the records
of which the bureau is the sole Gus
todian.
Questioned as to whether there was
any general feeling among the en-
ployes in the Office that their lives were
endangered by existing conditions, the
Commissioner replied in the negative,
stating that the ever-present concern of
all connected with the building was
for the invaluable records about them,
which they felt absolutely incapable of
protecting adequately unless Congress
would recognize the dangers of the
present situation and take Immediate
steps to obviate them.

WARNING IN BLAZE
At PATENT OFFICE
Commissioner Ewing Points
Out Constant Peril to
Valuable Records.
EFFICIENCY IS REDUCED
BY CROWDED CONDITIONS
Thinks Increased Earnings Would
Soon Repay Government for Ex-
penditures Recommended.

There was little evidence today of
the fire which took place in the patent
Office early yesterday morning, but an
interview with Commissioner Thomas
Ewing revealed the fact that the blaze
which has been generally regarded as
Of comparatively slight Importance, is
not so regarded by the officials in
charge Of the building.
1t was recalled that repeated warn
ings of the dangers of a serious fire
in the Office have been given by Com
missioner Ewing and his predecessors
in their efforts to obtain an appropria-
tion from Congress which would en-
able those in charge to minimize the
dangers of confiagration. And yester-
days blaze is regarded by the COM
missioner as. an evidence of the fact
that Congress, in hitherto falling to
provide what he believes to be protec-
tion for the mestimably valuable rec
ords which are in the custody of the
nation. hasIssbeen, guilty of hagrapt

War Officially Reported

In other engagements fought north of

days We have taken 5000 Russian
prisoners.
Russians advanced to Mogily. which
is southeast of Bolimow. and occu-
pied this position. Their forces in
this movement outnumbered ours
to I. Otherwise there is nothing of
Importance to report in this region.
1t is characteristic that the commander
Of the 57th Russian Reserve Division.
taken prisoner at Augustowo. asked
German officers whether 1t was true
that Antwerp was being besieged by
the Germans and soon would fall.
When the situation on the western
front was explained to this Russian
officer he refused to believe that the
German western army was on French
soil

Possibilities Of Disaster.

1OSSlUl1lI4cS VI 01SdSLSIs
The fire might just as well have
broken out anywhere else in the build
ing and destroyed records of the ut
most value" said the commissioner. He
explained that those in charge of the
office were not apprehensive of a gen.
eral confagration. but that the ex-
traordinarily crowded conditions which,
he states. are inevitable in the present
situation. combined with the inflam-
mable nature of the pine shelving and
cabinet work throughout the building,
render a fire which, though small in
scope. might well do irreparable dam
age-a daily probability.
The commissioner stated what what is
Immediately required is an appropriation
for low steel structure to be built in
the large court. in which, on fireproof
shelves. the 100000 copies of patents
and records now scattered throughout
the building could be stored: modern
lighting equipment throughout the Of
flee; an increase in office room and
steel receptables for what records etc
would necessarily be kept on hand in the
building. He was emphatic in his state.
ments that provision for these improve
Congress. should the apprehended fire
occur. would alone be responsible for
the calamity.
Cuts Into Efficiency.
1t was pointed out that the present
overcrowded condition which prevails
throughout the building prevents the
force, which is not at present large
enough adequately to handle the huge
business of the patent Office, from at
tanning the maximum efficiency II
was urged that an annual allowance
should be made by Congress. to be ex-
pended by those in charge of the pat
ent office on improvements throughout
the building purposed to subserve the
highest efficiency of the department,
concerned.
The commissioner pointed out that
the surplus turned into the United
States Treasury by the patent office
last year alone amounted to $251,122.7O
and that the total amount hitherto
cleared above expenses by the office is
now $7,548,175.16.

DISCOVERED BY j. S.

over seven and half billion POUNDS
of meat and meat food products, the
greatest quantity on record. was pre-
pared under Federal inspection during
the past year. according to the annual
report of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry of the Department of Agricul-
ture. More than 5SOOO,OOO food animals
were slaughtered under the same super
vision.
Announcement is made of the dis
covery of destroying trichinae, the tiny
parasite that infests the flesh of hogs.
This pest causes trichinosis, disease
in humans caused by eating raw port.
The new process. it Is believed, mimi
mizes the danger from eating raw pork.
1t provides for the storage OF meat
at temperature no higher than ) de-
grees fahrenheit ior a period Of twenty
days This Is sufficient to destroy the

sary the expensive and unsatisfac ctory
