A NATION MUST THINK

ONLY the nation that thinks will be preserved and
only the race OF mankind thai promotes inte-
sence and lives morally right will hold IT'S place in
the world.
The white man is prone TO look with disdain
upon the man OF another color and the men OF
another color look upon us in the same way, We
are likely to feel that tower above them in phys-
cal strength and in intelligence and thereby make
the mistake OF overestimatng ourselves and of
understanding them
The Conference on Limitation of Armament and
discussion of Far Eastern and Pacific questions will
convene now within few days. Already are
arriving here from all the world. Men repre-
senting all kinds OF ideas and with the varying amb
lions Men representing ambitious kings and rulers
looking not for the peace OF the world but for an
advantage
Within the memories OF men who read this, Japan
began to grow The brown slow to take
on an intellectual growth he lar behind the
man OF white blood. But since the Empire OF Japan
has begun to wake up, since it engaged Russia i'll
war and was victorious, that country is looking tor
a place in the sun. 1t stood aloof in the World
War, like man who holds the balance OF power it
reserved its strength and made its demands during
the war and at the peace table.
Millions OF brown men crowded upon few
islands of the sea- They see the need OF expansion.
AS their men leave their own shores, Japan would
like to colonze them where they can retain their
citizenship and loyalty to their country.
Every who reads should keep up with the
conference which convenes November y. Questions
that affect our civilization, the very life of our race
will come up for discussion. The Conference may
not be able to determine very much on the mita-
ton of armament but it ought reveal the ambition
of nations. 1t ought to inspire the Anglo-SaXon
races to greater achievement TO better ht them to
maintain race supremacy. Only by living morally
and by education can any race hold supremacy,
and these two are today enjoined upon the white
man whether he lives in the Eastern Western
Hemisphere.

STOCKING BANKS

group OF middle western bankers conducted an
investigation to ascertain 10 what extent farmers
and small business keep in hiding sums OF
money 1t was found that large number, amount
ing to an apprecable percentage OF the whole, kept
sums ranging from 500 to 10000 hidden about the
premises IT is not hard to understand and how one
might need to keep temporarily as much as sloo
about the house but TO have $4,000 or any amount
approaching that sum certainly would be extra haz-
ardous
Those who live at distance from bank naiur-
ally might need TO keep much more currency no haha
than others who could step into bank whenever
necessary but to have about the person or on the
premises any considerable amount is to invite some
one TO come and take it. Frequently robberies are
reported where by violence directed against the pos
SCISSOR information as 10 the hiding place of the
money is extorted. 1t is hard enough to keep money
under anv circumstances. To invite robbery by MD
ing it about the house should be unnecessary III
these days OF many banks.
The currency that is hidden away does nothing
for the owner while ii it were deposited in bank
il would work for the possessor and Tor others also

THE NAVY

Members of Congress who advocate
breaking away from the 1916 pro-
gram appear to believe that the pres
ent supply of destroyers is adequate,
as also the number of superdread-
naughts. There appears, however,
but little opposition to the building
of battle cruisers as advocated IN
the program. 1t is evident that the
present provisions for the construc-
tion of air and subservice weapons
is seriously lacking, unless the much
discussed plan of international agree
ment is believed feasible, in which
event the whole program might be
held in allegiance. 1t is more likely
that if anything develops from an
agreement for international retrench-
ment, the cut will come in the build
ing of the more costly ships.
1t is generally agreed that in future
warfare the part played by over and
under sea craft will be much greater
factor than heretofore, and for this
reason broader program for future
development must be given more
considerat tion. In the recent decision
of the House to continue the present
building program, it is believed that
the Senate, after due consideration by
it's naval committee, will appropriate
sufficient funds to complete well
balanced fighting sea force.

The phrase land it is so ordered"

Petitions for rehearing of cases are
not infrequent, occupying much the

Supreme Court that the routine mo-

mittee to investigate it and propose
remedy. This committee was composed
of eminent inventors and scientists and
three patent lawyers, namely, DR.. w. F.
Durand, professor of mechanical en-
gineering at the Leland Stanford Uni
versity, it's first chairman; Dr. L. H.
Baekeland. now chairman, inventor and
scientist: DR.. r. A. Milliken, professor
of physics at the University of Chicago
and an inventor; DR.. NJ. l. Pupin. pro-
fessor of electrical engineering. at CO.

Reid Hunt, professor of medicines
at Harvard University Medical School;
G. L. Townsend, a consulting chemist of
Washington. and three patent lawyers,
one of whom is Thomas Ewing. for
merly commissioner of patents; an
other is Frederick p. Fish of Boston,
and the third is the writer.
After most careful investigation, this
committee prepared and secured the in
PRODUCTION into Congress of H. r. bill
bill, from its introducer. Representative
John /. Nolan. This bill proposed in
creases in the examining force of the
patent office of 6 per cent and the cleri-
cal force of per cent and increases in
the salaries. Taking the position of
crease in salary was from $2,700 to
$4,000. There is the following evidence
from thoroughly qualified organizations
that the proposed salary for primary
examiners is the lowest that can pos
sibly remedy the present situation. A
questionnaire sent out by the American
Patent Law Association showed that the
average annual income of primary eX-
aminers, who have recently resigned
from the patent office and gone into the
employment OF Ssatent lawyers, is Sc, 400.
The engineering council. composed Of
engineers, and representing $4,000 en-
gineers, passed resolution stating that
the salary of $4,000 for a primary ex-
aminer was low by comparison with the
salaries of engineers outside of govern
ment service. of whom similar response
bilities and qualifications were required
to those of primary examiners. The
American Engineering Council, under the
presidency of Herbert Hoover, has sue
ceeded to the work of this council and
through it's patents committee is active
ly forwarding the movement for patent
office reform.
The National Association of Manufac-
turers, representing $500 manufacturers,
many of whom are employing engineers,
passed a resolution stating that the re-
lief provided in the Nolan bill. as it
passed the House of Representatives Gin
which form the salary of the primary
examiner was $4,000. is the minimum
that should be provided.
The American Chemical Society, COM
posed of 1880 chemists. passed reso-
luton urging the restoration to their
original values of the numbers for the
examining and clerical forces of the
patent office, and the salaries, therefore
in the Nolan patent office bill

have continued uninterruptedly at the
