after they left the college.

JUSTICE FOR INVENTORS.

The Patent Office society, the headquarters
of which is in Washington, is seeking to enlist
public interest in its campaign for consideration
by congress of its claims for better status Tor
our patent office. The society aims to secure
four changes in present conditions 1t advo-
Gates the establishment of single court of pat
ent appeals to take over the appellate jurisdic-
ton now lodged in nine independent circuit
courts of appeal it asks independence OF the In
terror department for the patent office; 1T asks
an increase in the personnel of the Office and an
increase in salaries so that qualified examiners
may be kept in government employ; and lastly
it demands a change in the law relating to dam
ages in infringement suits to answer the re-
proach that the patent system does not protect
the inventor so that he receives fair compensa-
ton for his invention
The public does not believe that the inventor
is paid for his work in proportion to his deserts;
it knows many cases where inventors have suf
fered injustice Where the trouble lies is for
experts to determine. The proposal to constr
tute a separate court of patent appeals seems
worthy of heed: suits of this character are ne
cessarily handled by experts and demand spe-
cial knowledge. 1t would appear that single
court would be an economy Of time and money
and better equipped tribunal than the
nine courts which now handle these cases. What
would be gained by independence of the inter
ior department is not evident; multiplication OF
governments without due cause is bad practice.
Experts cannot be had, of course, unless govern
ment service pays as well as other employment.
If the society can show that changes in the law
will do Justice to the inventor which our present
law does not do, then congress should promptly
give attention to such changes.

The Barefoot Maid.

Los Angeles Times: The fash
ion hint from Paris presents
the stockingless girl as the sum
mer feature, and lot of DANES
attended the beauty show at the
races in $50 pumps, but no hosiery
to speak Of. A lot of fashionable
crimes are committed in the name
Of economy, and it Is now represent
ed that the cost and difficulty OF
obtaining genuinely good silk stock
ings have made bare legs desirable.
1t Is said that even at $40 pair
some silk stockings are SO frail and
meager that the lady Is never sure
she can wear them twice. A stock
ing that had been repaired or showed
a struggling thread would be, of
course, impossible. So the poor girl
is going to snuff out the hosiery In
poverty-stricken circles the young
sters have been going barefooted for
thes many years This may soon be
done by swelldom and in the name
of fashion. Anyhow, the bare leg
and the sandal may be the next turn
OF the wheel. But just now the ex-
clamation is: isn't it shocking? She
has no stocking!"

An Unwashed PIutoeracy.

LET THERE BE ACTION.

The attorney general asks for additional
funds with which to finance the government
campaign against anarchy. Ii he needs the
money, he should have it, and promptly. 1t is
no time to slow down the determined push OF
the federal inquiry into the anarchic effort IN
the nation We are given to forgetting too
quickly The morning after the recent bombing
attempts throughout the country there was no
question of the temper Of the people; now this
incident has lost its power Of sharp compulsion
Of interest But the incident was simply evil
dence of the menace all intelligent people know
to be Just as active as ever.
Congress will do well to arm the department
Of Justice with all that it reasonably asks to
make its work efficient But congress will do
equally well if it holds that department respon-
sble for results. We want more than lncon-
elusive Investigations; more than warnings and
promises We want definite measures proposed
and carried into action that mean security from
anarchy and its agents. If Mr. Palmer gets the
money, let him show to this people that 1t has

The Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy's annual report furnishes
some interesting sidelights on rail
road operation in 1918 and the gov
ernment's experiment in managing
the carriers, says the Chicago
Tribune. Had the road been under
private management and had its cor
porate officials done no better with
the property than did Mr.. McAdoo the
road would have shown net earnings,
after deducting sinking fund appro-
priations, of S15,947,8S2, or s14.52 a
share on the stock as compared to
s25.27 share earned In 1917.
The government had guaranteed
the road net income of $33 200 6S.,
while 1t had earned only S23 991, ATS
Out of the sum guaranteed the cor
.porate management was able 10 save
for stockholders a net income of
S22, 792,499 which after the dedlc.'
