Concerning Patents.

The lens-.a of time II takes to obtain
n patent depends partly on the nature
Of the application, that ie, the thing
TO be patented. and partly on the skill
with which the case is presented.
There are forty distinct divisions in
the patent Office, each division having
in charge a specific class or variety of
work. Each application is examined
in the order of filing and some Of the
divisions are considerably behind in
their work. An application may be
acted on promptly or only after weeks
or months.

one encounters the word "shoe" in the
Bible he may be sure that il Is the
sandal that is commonly meant. In
Egypt the sandal was woven of palm

Egyptians often painted the figures Of
their opponents on the lining Of their
sandals.

In our overseas operations feel
that we have good reason to be proud
and thankful Of the results obtained.
Our losses have been exceedingly smal!
considering the size Of the force trans

protection given American conveys by
the naval forces. We also have been
greatly assisted in the despatch OF
troops abroad by the ALLEGATION of GER

Secretary OF War Baker has made
an appeal to the people to not en-
courage discharged soldiers to drink.
He says it is a disgrace to the uniform
of this great country and he is right.
Soldiers who have no respect for
themselves should have enough regard
for the uniform to refrain from drunk
'Senness while they wear it.
In this connection we desire to ex-
press our disgust with the Cincinnati
newspapers. They are absolutely I'M
der the liquor domination. Everything
they can find to boost the liquor traf-
fic is published. A few guzzlers and
soalSs in the army have written arti-
Giles deploring the fact that prohibi-
tion is winning and those papers pa
rade these vicious letters as fair ex-
preston from the soldiery of our
country II is Islander. Our great
army is not a body of boozers. We
believe large majority of them are
sober upright men. The selective
draft took the best citizenship along
with some not so good but ex-con-
-victs were rejected. The Chaplain
of the Y. NJ c. A. and similar organ
izations have co-operated with the
Government in keeping the soldiers
clean and reducing their temptations
ITO the minimum. Their efforts have
not been in vain The selective ar
my would vote the country dry il it
had chance.
