Unauthorized Registration Is Be-
ing Made. Is Report.

According to reports received by
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce there has recently been a
systematic registration of American
trade marks and trade names In Bra

in the United States. Among the
marks SO registered have been In
cluded also several generic terms not
registerable in the United States and
various geographical names, such as
Syracuse" One firm in Rio de ia
micro is reported to have registered
since July. 1919. more than fifty
American trade marks, including sew
eral widely used in the United States
and in the export trade.
Notice has already been sent by the
bureau to the owners of these marks
in order that they may take steps to
have the registrations cancelled As
trade mark applications are not pub
lished in Brasil until the marks have
been registered 1t IL usually impoa-
sible to enter opposition In time to
prevent registration being granted.
In addition. the Brazilian law pea.-
mfts the first applicant to register

trations once granted Is dimcult and
expensive. American firms exporting
trade-marked goods are urged TO pro-
tect themselves against such fradu-
lent registration by securing regis

If the governmental authorities be-

This is the conviction expressed by
Arthur r. Blessing, assistant librarian

Gee. there's great things in books,
amt there?" he heard one doughboy
say to another. This boy had made
great discovery for himself. points
out the Washington library official.
and now that he has reassumed the
status of plain John Doe" he should
have the opportunity to extend his
