PRESS AGENTS ENGAGED
FOR RELIGIOUS BODIES
Publicity Work Extends to Wider
Fields as Big Denominations
Present Their Projects.

Fdf many years the press agent has
been known as a fixed part of the
atrical production. But few. if any,
shows went forth upon the road" to
win success before the press agent
had gone before to spread the news
of a plays coming and also of its
good qualities.
Now, however. the press agent is
seen in practically every field of ven-
ture. Not only did the United States
government conduct a press bureau
during the war, and many of its de-
partments long before the war, but
the religious denominations have re-
Gently entered the field. This does
not mean the short publicity notices
of entertainments, etc, to be conduct
ed by a special church, but the de-
nominations themselves have press
bureaus and agents in practically
every large city.
The happenings in the various re-
ligious bodies and plans for further
extension of their church activities
are furnished the newspapers in large
publicity of a certain body is about
~ large as that issued by the press
bureaus of some of, the United States
government bureaue-which recently
have come in for some sharp criticism
in Congress for their waste Of paper"
Thus it is seen that practically
every organization now has its press
agent to furnish information of the
dotngs to the newspapers.

volume of production, it diminished.

did function related to war objects.
But at noon Oh November II, 1918 the

In October, 1919 there reached the
division Of the patent office handling
metaIlurgical inventions a total of CO.
applications for patents In one divi-
sion handling chemical subjects-there
are several chemical divisions-iS9
applications were filed in the agricuI-
tural implement division, 354 applica-
tons arrived and the division dealing
with vehicle wheels and such appurte-

that inventions for the automobile in
