ENGINEERS CRITICISE
PATENT LEGISLATION
Bill Intended to Prevent Foreign
Control Of q. s. Inventions Is
Declared Harmful,

Opposition to legislation to check
the Krupp interests Of Germany
seeking control of American ordnance
inventions was expressed yesterday
by the American Engineering Council
Of the American Federated Engineer
ing Societies.
recommendations by Secretary Of
War Weeks, was described as likely
to do more harm than good. The
council suggested that the results
sought by the legislation could be
gained by proving in civil courts a
priority by American inventors,
thereby invalidating foreign patents.
Prindle of New York, asserted that
1T is very much opposed to the bill,
believing 1t to involve immensely
more harm than good" adding:
This bill is stated by its introducer
to have been introduced at the re-
quest Of the Secretary Of War be-
cause foreigners were patenting in
ventions relating to ordnance which
had been made by American engin-
eers and selling them to the Krupps
and the latter were buying them so
that we could not use our own in
ventions for our own defense.
"The bill provides that any patents
zens Of the United States shall be
worked in this country within two
years from the date Of issue, under
the penalty Of having licenses grant,
ed under them by our government to
others than the ones who wished to
work them.
"The bill introduces a dangerous
innovation into our law, and has the
possibility of far-reaching conse-
quences not intended by those who
drafted it."

progress Of work on the bridge.
The only explanation offered for the
sinking of the barges was that some
OF the seams had been opened grad
ually by long exposure and water
seeped In after the days work was
over and the workmen had gone home.
In addition to the large timbers
forming the trestle, the barges were
heavlly weighted with steel beams
holding them together. Those in
charge are congratulating themselves
on the fact that the structure did
not go out of commission until after
It had completed the installation Of
the steel centering. Otherwise the
accident would have caused a serious
delay in the prosecution Of the work

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
A Few Applications of Sage Tea
and Sulphur Bring Back Its
Vigor, Color, Gloss and
Youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea with sulphur added,
will turn gray, streaked and faded
hair beautifully dark and luxuriant.
Just a few applications will prove
a revelation II your hair is fading,
streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage
Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier
way is to get a bottle of Wyetk's
Sage and Sulphur Compound at any
drug store all ready for use. This
is the old-time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain
our youthful appearance and attrac-
tiveness. By darkening' your hair
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, no one can tell, because
it does il so naturally, so evenly.
You just dampen a sponge or soft
brush with 1t and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand
at time; by morning all gray hairs
have disappeared, and, after another
application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful
toilet requisite and is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or preven-
tion of disease.-Adv.
