Some one porting over the files in
the United States Patent Office at
Washington the other day found a
letter written in 1888 that illustrates
the limitations of the human imag
nation.
at was from an old employee OF
the Patent Office, offering his resig-
nation to the head Of the department,
His reason was that as everything in
ventable had been invented, the
Patent Office would soon be discon-
tinued and there would be no furth-
er need of his services or the SER
vices of any of his fellow clerks.
He, therefore, decided to leave be
fore the blow fell.
Everything inevitable had been
invented! The writer Of this letter
journeyed in stage coach or canal
train or an ocean greyhound. He
read at night by candle light, If he
read at all in the evenings; more
likely he went to bed soon after
dark and did all his reading by
daylight He had never seen a house
lighted by Illuminating gas. The
arc and incandescent electric lights
were not to be invented for nearly
half century. If he had ever heard
of electricity he thought of it as the
mysterious and dangerous fluid that
strikes from the clouds during a
thunderstorm. That it could be har-
messed to do mans will had never &C.
Cured to him.
"He never heard the clicking of a
telegraph sounder. The telephone
would have seemed as wonderful to
him as voyage to the moon Mo-
ton pictures would have reminded
him of black art, and the idea that
a machine could be invented whereby
man would fly above the clouds
like bird, ascending and descending
at will, would have seemed to him
merely absurd.

linotype machine, which seems al
most to think; the X-ray, by means

and injury and lay out their work
with scientific certainty, these things
were yet to be invented long after
he was dead. He could not imagine
the automobile, now so common that
they cover the streets and roads of
all the world.
"He could not dream that cannon
would be made to throw projectile
more than twenty miles, that repeat
ing rifles, revolvers and machine guns
would be invented, that steel mon
sters of the deep would speed invisi-
bly, under the seas with the power to
send a giant ocean liner to the bot
tom within matter of moments. =

Meats IN Storage"

Every working day of the yeer
100000 pounds of meat are required
to supply home and export needs-and
only 10 per cent of this b exported.
These facts must be kept In mind
when considering the u. S. Bureau Of
Markets report that on June !. 1919,
there were l,34S. OO0. 600 pounds Of
meats In cold storage. If the meat m
storage was placed on the market 1t
would only be 20 days supply.
This meat is not artificially withheld
from trade channels to maintain or
advance prices.
Meats In storage consist Of
IS per cent (approximate) hams, bacon. ETC.,
In process Of curing. It takes 80 to 30
days in pickle OF salt to complete the
process.
10 per cent 10 frozen pork that 10 to BE- cured
later in the year.
6 per cent 10 lard. This 10 only four.6fths
Of pound per capita, and much Of it will
have to 60 to supply European needs.
10 per cent 10 frozen beef and lamb, part Of
which 10 owned by the Government and
was intended chiefly for overseas ship
ment. II this were al diverted to domes-
tic trade channels, It would b only
~ lbs. per capita-a 3 days supply.
1905
From this it will be seen that meats
In storage" represent merely un-
finished goods in process of curing and
the working supply necessary to assure
the consumer a steady flow of finished
product.

LABOR CRISIS THREATENED
lmpends in Textile Industry Ovet g.
Hour Day Demand

New York, Jan. 2S.-A nationwide
labor crisis, involving industries ELI
gagged in manufacturing silk and cot
ton goods and to some extent wooden
goods, is pending unless employers n
these trades cOncede to an eight-hour
day by February g.
Information that employees plan to
work not longer than eight hours on
that date and on each day thereafter
was conveyed to the reconstruction
commission recently appointed by
Governor Smith to adjust labor dis
turban-e;. The information came
from John Golden. president Of the
United Textile Workers of America.
The textile workers in convention
last November demanded a fOrty-e:&ht
hour week. The employers have not
granted this reduction from the pres
emf schedule of fifty-four hours, Mr..
Golden said. The employees were will
ing to work fifty-four hours daily only
as long as the factories were engaged
on government war contracts, he said.
Wage demands are not involved in the
controversy.
Mr.. Golden declared he would not
say that ii strike was TO be called
February 3, but only that the work
ers would leave the shops at the end
of eight hours

To be possessed of a head of hea-
Wy, beautiful hair; soft, lustrous,

mend it-apply a little as directed
and within ten minutes there will be
an appearance of abundance, fresh

BY WAR z0HE TRIP
Gould Not Put Into Words His
Impressions.

Paris, Jan. 2S.-President Wilson
made his first trip to the battlefront
and devastated regions, visiting Cha
teau-Thierry and Rheims.
At the close Of !; tour that took
him through Il dozen RACED villages,
ending in he ruins of the historic
cathedral at Rheims. he made this
comment:
NO ono can PM MO words the i'm
DreSSionS | have received amongst
such, scenes of ceS.'Iarion and ruin"
Thas was Mr.. Wilson's only express
sion of his feelings AFTER a trip that
every Frenchman has been hoping he
would make before he takes part in
deciding what is to be eXacted from
Germany for the devastation OF nor
thern France.
Accompanied by Mrs. Wilson and a
small party. Mr. Wilson left the Nu-
rat residence early, foregoing atten-
dance at church and the rest which
he felt he needed very much to per-
form what he considered TO be duty.
The party motOred first to Chateau
Thierry, where lunch was taken on
boarding a waiting train. They then
proceeded by motor to Rheims, pass
ing through many ruined villages and
along the old fighting lines, where
evidence of combat are still to be
plainly seen.

FORD FIGHT
| REACHES SENATE
Michigan Election Row May
Halt Legislation.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Henry Ford's
fight against Commander Truman
Newberry, Elected senator from Michi
gan, has forced its way into the sen
ate and may interfere with all lie" s
lative proceedings in that body for
the remainder of the session.
The Democrats 10 a man are be-
hind the Ford fight. Over the protest
of the Republicans who insist that
the Newberry case must be inve$ j
gated and decided by the next con
gress. of which Newberry has been
elected q member. the Democrats re-
ferred the matter 10 the COMMITTEE" on
contingent expenses for authorization
to proceed with an immediate inyes-
tigation
The report of the committee prob
ably will be submitted today, and a
with which all contests in this con-
gress have been mild and unintercst-
ing affairs.
The Democrats virtually cOncede
that they cannot settle the case at
this time, and that the present senate
has no right to pass upon the quail
fications of men elected to the next
senate.
Nevertheless, they purpose to start
an investigation now, while they are
in the majority, in the obvious hope
of creating by propaganda methods a
public sentiment hostile to Newberry
and favorable to Henry Ford. The
propaganda efforts are being financed
by Mr.. Ford.
Newberry is charged with having
spent more money in obtaining his
election than the law permits.
The Newberry managers are pre-
pared to prove that Ford spent far
more money, although he has declar-
ed that he spent none at all.

Congo

Congo,
Paris, Jan. "S-The supreme coun-
ell of the peace conference met with
a full attendance.
\ number of technical advisers on
colonial matters, including three
Americans, accompanied the various
delegations as they entered the for
eign office where ihr sessions are
held.
When the council adjourned Presi-
dent Wilson went at once TO the Hotel
de C.ilnn. he A;a2rican headquar-
ters. where he had IL conference with
Colonel +. VI House.
Samuel GomperS and other labor
representatives had been in confer
ence with the American delegation.
The discussion was Immediately sus-
pended upon the presidents arrival,
with Colonel House.
One question which it was expected
the council would take up was the
ultimate fate of the German colonies.
France and Great Britain, it is de-
clared. are agreed upon at least one
feature Of the solution of the prob
lem. That is, under no consideration
shall the colonies revert to Germany.
The reasons advanced for such q
decision are various Prominent
among them is that it would make 1t
impossible for Germany to establish
submarine bases in her colonial pos,
sessions. The American attitude is
not yet revealed.
A prominent official said that should
the Franco-British viewpoint prevail,
the German Kamerlm would be taken
over by the French, in accordance
with an agreement reached with Great
Britain and France.
Belgium lays claim TO that part of
the Congo which she conquered by
force of arms. Belgian troops cap
tured Tabora and the territory lying
beyond the western slopes of Lake
Victoria Nyanza. The Belgians also
desire strip of territory along the
left bank of the Congo, the delimita-
ton to be settled amicably with POr-
tugal, territorial compensation being
given Portugal.
The council of ten, as the French
call the ministers of the five great
powers, has before it for cOnsidera-
ton also the questions of territorial
adjustments. the abolition Of cOnScrip-
ton and the economic reconstruction
of Germany. These questions. in ac-
corlance with the settled method of
procedure, will be referred to suit
able commissions.
No direct reply to the invitation ex-
tended to the various Russian fac
lions for a conference with represen-
tatives of the allied and associated
governments has so far been received
from any quarters. The protests that
have been filed by the anti-Bolshevik
elements in Paris are not regarded as
fully authorized by their governments.
1t was stated no announcement
would be made at present regarding
the status Of the Russian problem.
The next move, it may be said, prob
,bIy will be to bring up the question
again before the council for further
study before course to be followed
shall be adopted.
