which made that town the great iron

place where skilled mechanics gather

ed for her steel and iron products,
machinery and other manufactures.
The American patent system was
transplanted from the patent system
of Great Britain, which was the parent
stem. In 1872 the printed statutes of
Connecticut provided that there shall
be no monopolies granted among us
but of such new inventions as shall
be Judged profitable and for the bene-
fit of the country, and for such a time
as the general court shall judge meet. "
Massachusetts, and Connecticut were
the pioneers in adopting the British
system, although similar examples
to the time when the first United
came into force.
The statute of 1890 provided for the
granting of letters patent on amy
useful art, manufacture, engine, ma
chine, or device, or any improvement
therein, not before known or used
The petition for the grant was to Sec
rotary of State, the Secretary of War
and the Attorney General. The patent
was issued on the approval of these
officials or any two of them. The de-
scription of the invention was certi-
fled by the Attorney General and the
President caused the grea seal of this
| United States to be affixed on his is
sue of the patent.
| In 1898 new statute was passed
making several changes in the system
| Supplemental acts of 1894 and 1S0i
were passed. About the latter date thu
| judicial question arose as to whethe
the power of Congress was EXCLUSIVE
in the matter of patents, but the pre-
else point as to the right of a Stat
| to grant patents was not decided. Sine
then, however, the opinion has becom
settled that the power of Congress il
| the premises is exclusive.
The year 1886 marks the beginninj
of an era in the patent system of tn
United States. In that year all previ
Gus statutes were repealed and a com
prehensive Act was passed whicl
brought the system somewhat into it
present condition, retaining many oil
features but Introducing new and i'm
portant changes. It was this year tina

For centuries the ed-haired ones
have been getting away with it.
People have been very eonsiderate of

very deferential toward their tempers
But character reading as a science
now steps forward to call the uncon-
seious bluff of red hair. This is one
Of the cases where the popular i'm
preston is quite far from the scien-
tific fact in character reading.
You needn't be afraid Of the red
heads temper just because he or she
is red-headed. Red hair does not de-
note extreme fiery temper, the exag-
Grated active, practical, creative, en-
thusiastic, impatient, irascible dispo-
sition.
AS a matter of fact, red hair, while
these things stands almost midway in
the range of the characteristics by
which we balance the active against
the passive, the impatient against the
patient, aggressiveness against eau
ton.
And if your red-haired subject has
you can make up your mind that the
inclination is in the other direction
for not only does red hair stand about
midway in the list, but eyes always
count for more than hair in balanc-
ing character tendencies.
In general the red-haired ones are
only moderately positive, active, YER
satile, aggressive, combative, energetic
and impulsive.

HISTORY

THE FIRST PATENT IN AMERICA
The first patent in America was
granted to Joseph jerks, a founder
and machinest, who had emigrated
from Hammersmith, England. where
he was born in 1902. He was induced
by Governor Winthrop to go to Lynn,
Massa chusetts, about 1872 as master
mechanic to establish the " iron and
steel works. He is the acknowledged
head of the iron smelling and found
ing business, and the first builder of
machinery in this country, and first
patentee of inventions in America. hav-
ing introduced the idea of protection
for the manufacture of improvements
by petition to the Government of Mas
sachusetts Bay.
The first patent granted to jerks
was for mill improvements and read
as follows: "At general courte at

PEACE WITH GERMANY.

Proclaimed by President Harding war
with Germany is now technically at an
end. For the past three years hostilities
hane been over and by the treaty of
Versailles other countries were at peace
with that nation but the technical state
OF war under the armistice existed be-
tween Germany and this country until
the ratification of the treaties had been
proclaimed by the president as did GER
tain Of the war laws of this country
which had not been previously repealed
by special legislative action
As the result of the formality of pro-
aiming peace it is to be expected that
there viii be a resumption of the former
commercial and political relationship
between the nations, with the naming of
ambassadors by the respective countries
and the resumption OF activity by the
duly accredited consular representatives

In connection with the manner in
which the state authorities are insisting
upon the observance Of the law against
the overlooking of motor trucks not a
little help it would seem is bound to come

being made in the neighboring state Of
Massachusetts. Much of the motor truck

life and the preservation of highways
and at the same time only matter Of
justice to those who are obeying the law.
Time and again the value Of uniform
ity in regard TO enforcement of laws in
a group of states such as New England
has been pointed out. With laws similar
in character the chance for Connecticut
and Massachusetts to work together in
protecting themselves against the viola
tors of the motor truck requirements IS
one that should be fully improved. Both
states are deeply interested in improving
the safety Of the highways. One big OPP

beneficial effects of joint action in that
respect there ought to be disclosed the
