GERMAN PATENTS
TO BE USED HERE
Vast Store of Scientific Information
Available

Washington, Oct. 3O-The vast
store of German scientific informa-
ton in this country was opened to-
day to American manufacturers in
regulations issued by the federal
trade commission under which enemy
owened patents and copyrights will
be licensed for manufacture by citi-
zens of the United States.
When the regulations had been
made public the commission met a
group of medical men to consider
licensing the manufacture of certain
drugs, principally ~salvarsan, used in
virulent blood diseases, and non-toxic
substituted for local a~naesthetics, of
which the supply in this country has
run dangerously low.
Approximately 10000 patented
and copyrighted articles are said to
be affected by the commissions order
These include dyestuf formulas of
vital Importance to American indus
tries and mechanical devices of wide
use, through the humanitarian effect
of the order attracts tn widest atten-
tion..
Confering with the commission to-
day with commissioner John Frank
lin Ford, presiding, were Julius Stieg-
litz of Chicago, president of the
American Chemical Society; Oscar
G. Rudge, assistant surgeon, U. S. N.
Mai. Victor C. Vaughn, surgeon, U.
S. NJ; j. W. Kerr, United States
public health service; Marston L..
ing the Council of National Defence,
and DR.. G. w. Mccoy of Washing
ton.
It was said to be likely that any
licenses issued for the manufacture
of salvarsan would carry a provision
that cert ainpercentage of the out
put be turned over to the public
health service.
Wheather prices for drugs manu-
featured under licenses will be de-
termined by the commission was not
announced. The trading with the
enemy act, by authority of which
the patents and copyrights will be
taken over, confers on the president
power to fix conditions of license
ing.
Prices of drugs have undergone
tremendous increases since 1914,
many remidies having increased as
much as 1000 per cent.
The regulations issued today fol-
low the law closely in safeguarding
theinterest of patent, owners, who
must be reimbursed for their inven.
tons and provides that licenses will
be issued only where the interest
of the public demands it, to supply
a demand not now being met. The
licenses must give evidence of ability
to manufacture the article.

GUARD TO BE IN SPOT LIGHT
State Troops Will Have Major Place
In Thoughts of General Public,
Says Regular Officer.

1T seems to me-" remarked an OIL
cer Of long experience, according to
the Army and Navy Journal, "that a
little friendly, earnest advice to u
National Guard units would be strictly
in order at this time. The members
Of the former state regiments are pc
culiarly placed in the great organiza-
ton which is to include all our forces.
They will have q major place in the
thoughts of the general public, which
always has ignored, except in the most
abstract way, the existence Of q regu'
lar army. Unless things 60 wrong the
Guard will be over the water and in
the midst of things before the regis
tered lads have mastered the intrica-
cies of extended field maneuverS. And,
without dwelling on the justice Of it
you can bet that Company Q Of Po-
dunk will be mentioned oftener in the
press stories than any similar unit Of
Pershing's boys. For this reason and
others, I would say to u Guardsmen:
"The National Guard will Don be
engaged In one Of the largest and most
difficult undertakings, in a military
way, that has been attempted in this
country since the Civil war. That is
your mobilization at camps, transfer
to the coast, embarkation and crossing.

smoothness if every man jack of you,
from brigadier to rear-fle private,

N OF THE

The Columbia Record.
She was stirring a great bowl Of
mayonnaise dressing, when she heard
the boys calling extra Record"
yesterday afternoon. She has three
sons who have volunteered in the
army in South Carolina and a ne
phew in France.
"What's that" she asked, still
stirring the mayonnaise. When told
that the Americans were under fire
in France she shivered, and some
golden drops of the mayonnaise spat-
tered over the sides of the blue bowl.
Then she said:
"There's a poem over there in my
work-basket that some one sent me
when one of my boys joined. Maybe
some other soldiers mother would
like to read tiff you printed it in
your paper"
The poem is by Berton Braley, and
is as follows:
THE MOTHER.
81 don't want my boy to go to war,
To suffer cruel pain, perhaps to die
Yet, if the cause he should be fight
ing for
Calls him to fight, I know full we'll
that I
Would be unworthy of a mothers
name
If I should strive to keep him by
my side.
IT'S mine to recognize his country's
claim
And let him 60 in all his youth and
pride.
81 will be brave the day he goes
away,
I will not show the terror in my
heart,
But, oh, dear God! How I shall watch
and pray,
Seeing my son: my splendid son,
depart
Pray that he does his stern task
bravely well,
Bearing his share of duty to be
done,
But that from out the storm of shot
and shell,
He may come safe to me, my son,
my son!
IT don't want my son to go to war,
Marching away to stirring fife and
drum,
But when there's need that he should
battle for
The sake of generations yet to
come,
Then war, and war alone, will serve
to save
The things we hold most precious
and most true.
I shall say: "Go!w I shall be calm and
brave
But, oh! my boy, how I shall pray
for you"

been acknowledged, he drops his hand

HoME-PLANNING IN COUNTRY
Whole Farm Layout Should &c
sketehed and Studied Before Any
Buildings Are Erected.


Put the house. IL possible, on an emil
hence, or rise, facing east or south,
with gentle slope away from the
front. Don't build too near the road,
nor yet too far back-150 to $50 feet
will generally be about right.
Don't, don't ever put the barn and
lot buildings in front Of the house.
The only logical place for these is in
the rear and hidden, II practicable,
by trees, vines and shrubbery.
Before building, give study and
time to planning the whole farm lay
out, Progressive Farmer advises.
Doing this may save many later re-
grets. Take paper and pencil, and,
with the aid Of the family, sketch the
grounds as they should be when the
building and planting scheme Is COM
pleted. It may and probably will be
years before all details of building
and planting are completed, but then
there will be a harmonious, pleasing
whole. Aim at an ideal and come as
near reaching It as possible.
AS never before, convenience and
simple dignity are the aims of house
building. A compact, well-arranged
plan saves steps for the housewife and
likewise building materials.
Put In plumbing and wiring as the
house is built. Every live, busting
farmer these days should aim at moth
Ing less than waterworks. a sewage
disposal system and electric lights, or
at least an acetylene lighting system.
Make the farm home fit Its surround
ings; the country is no place for osten-
tatlous show. Multitudes Of gables,
bay windows and vivid-tlnted paints
Jar especially In country houses, be-
cause they give an air Of artificiality
among natures harmonies of coloring.
Have an open grass lawn. How
ever well designed and built a house
may be, If 1t has no green lawn In
front 1t Is incomplete. Make the lawn
open and free from shrubs or flowers
except at the borders.
Frame the whole picture with flow
ering shrubs and trees. Directly In
front Of and near the house Is no place
for trees, however beautiful they may
be; rather place them at the side and
toward the back, bordering them with
Towering shrubs like the Grape myrtle,
and these, In turn, with banks of the
easily grown Towering ANNALS like
zinnias and saliva.
Put vines, preferably a hardy ever
green like the English ivy, over I'M
slightly fences, stumps and walls.
Make stately, cool avenues Of the
hot, dusty lanes by bordering them
with pecan trees.

Bobby Discusses Insurance.

Little Bobbie, age five. OF Hanover
Ind, was one of those who permitted
few things to escape his attention and
consequently was always asking ques-
tons. Some of the members OF the
family were talking about life Insur-
ance and Bobble had to know what
that was. He was told 1t was q pro-
vision whereby, when his father died,
the family would receive certain
sum of money. This seemed clear to
the yOungster, but 1t was noticed he
seemed to be engaged in deep thought.
Finally he said: But, mamma. how

The Salute.

military honors and courtesies. This
Is epitomized in the salute. The sa-
lutte Is not symbol of inferiority, 1t
Is a simple reminder of the soldiers
place in the scheme of the organiza-
ton. 1t is a reminder of the authority
to which he must at all times be sub
ject, If there is to be discipline; and
it is recognition of the source of
that authority.
The soldier salutes commissioned Of
ficers-frOm second lieutenant to gen.
eral. He does not salute nOncommis-
stoned officers-cOrpOrals and SER
geants. But he grants these defer
ence and obedience, nevertheless, in a
limited degree, which keeps the chain
of authority intact.
The salute not only is no symbol of
inferiority, but is a privilege. Only
soldier in good standing Is entitled to
salute his officers and to receive the
officers acknowledgment In return. A
soldier under arrest cannot salute. He
has forfeited his right Of recognition
from officers.
The salute is performed at present
with the right hand only. The move
ment must be executed "smartly." A
tagging, ragged salute Is no real mill
tary courtesy. 1t is nearer to an af-
front. For 1t is neither courteous nor
military. The right hand, therefore,

SEA SNAKES VERY VENoMoUS
There 10 Little General knowledge Of
the Many Reptiles That lnfsst the
Ocean Waters

Many persons are familiar with the
names Of the most dreaded and deadly
Of the poisonous land snakes, writes a
contributor to Country Life, but very
few, apparently, have any knowledge
OF the innumerable sea snakes, most
Of which are highly venomous, that In
fest the waters OF the Indian ocean and
the western Pacific.
Nearly all Of them differ from the
land serpents by the literally fattened
and oarllke shape of the tail. and also
by the scales of the under surface Of
the body. When cast ashore accident
ally, the majority are quite helpless
and soon die. for they are unadapted
for getting about on land. Three spe-
cies. however, differ from the majority
OF the sea snakes. One Of the most
common kind OF three-foot snake that
lives In the waters from the Bay OF
Bengal TO Oceania. This species easily
crawls on land. and sometimes makes
journeys OF a considerable distance
inland.
Most Of the sea snakes have brill
liant colorings. They feed on fish and
other marine creatures and are extraor-
dinarily active. In length. they vary
from about two feet to as much as ten
or twelve feet. Sea snakes, also, differ
from land snakes In the shortness OF
the tongue. In their natural element
they thrust only the extreme tip of this
organ through two small notches In
the closed mouth. They have compare
lively small nostrils, placed on the top
of the snout, and furnished with
valve that opens TO admit air and that
closes to exclude water when the rep
tile Is beneath the surface.

IS GIVEN
FOR PIER At LAHA|NA

Approval of a request by q. G. Seong
and A. g, Furtado of Lahaina, Maui,
to construct pier at that port in
connection with proposed sanitary
fish market was given ny the board
of harbor commissioners yesterday. The
purpose Of the pier, as explained by
Hugh Howell, who was present TO rep
resent the petitioners, is to carry a
pipe line which is to be used TO carry
refuse from the fish market out TO sea,
The petitioners also stated that they
wanted TO exchange piece of land
for government land on the waterfront,
on which to build the fish market, but
Mr.. Howell stated that he had seen
the land commissioner and the latter
refused to make the exchange, saying
they would have to buy the land out
right from the Territory. The harbor
board gave its approval to this trans.
action or to an exchange if one should
be arranged. "..
