Where Government Employees Do Resign

THE old saying regarding govern
ment employees that few die
and none resign does not apply
to the patent office The force of ex-
aminers in this important bureau num-
bers 430. In 80 months 231 of them
resigned. In little over year one
quarter of the entire force went out.
They became very tired working for
Uncle Sam for 1.500 to S2.I0o year,
when they could go with corporations
that would pay them two or three
times as much, or could begin the prac-
tice of patent law.
If an application for patent Is
filed today, the inventor will be lucky
if he secures its first consideration a
wear from now. There are nearly Co.
600 applications on file in the patent
office and these must all be taken up
and considered in their order. No
wonder that the patent office is over
whelmed with complaints from manu-
facturers representing every section.
The patent Office, as Commissioner
Robertson says in his annual report,
is retarding industry instead Of provid-
ing new avenues for employment.
Seventy years ago patent examiners
were paid S2,400 year, the same sal

Women Clash in equal Rights" Battle

of the contrast between the woman in
political and public life of today and
the first fighters for suffrage. She
had on maroon suit that simply awed
with it's intricate simplicity, and hat
to match, with long sweeping feath-
err Shades of stiff collars
"We can't ever make the problems
of men and women alike" she de-
clared, "They aren't alike; and they
need separate attention. Nothing
would be better for the factories that
employ women than this bill"
Here's the point at issue: The Wom-
ans party has been trying to have a
blanket bill" passed by the several
states which shall place men and
women on an absolute equality as citi-
zens. Progress has been slow. So now
the Woman's Party proposes an
amendment to the Constitution cover
ing the same ground.
The National Consumers league is
one of several women's organizations
opposing the proposed Constitutional
amendment on the ground that through
1t women will lose certain rights which
have been given TO them as women by
several of the states-such as limita-
ton of hours of employment, prohibit
ton or regulation of night work. regu-
lation of employment before and after

HIS GOODNESS OF HEART.
From Oxford Democrat.

From Oxford Democrat.
People may disagree concerning the
ability, political sagacity or statemanship
of President Harding, influenced quite
likely by the political beliefs of those
who praise or criticise his opinion and
actions; but no one can doubt his good
ness of heart-not after they read this
obituary for his dog Hub, written and
printed in his own paper, The Marion
Star, many years before he thought of
being president. 1t follows: ''It isn't or
thodox to ascribe soul to dog-if soul
means immortality-but Hub was loyal
and loving, with the jealousy that tests
its quality. He was reverent, patient,
faithful. He was sympathetic, more than
humanity so sometimes, for no lure could
be devised to lure him from the sick bed
of mistress or master. He minded his
own affairs, especially worthy of human
emulation, and he would kill nor wound
no living thing. He was modest and sub
missive where these were becoming, yet
be assumed guardianship of the home
he sentinelled until entry was properly
vouched. He couldn't speak our Ian
guage, though he somehow understood,
but he could be, and was eloquent with
uttering eye and waggin2 tail, and the
other expressions of knowing dogs. No,
perhaps he had no soul, but in these
things are the essence of soul and the
spirit of lovable life."

Woman in Congress Tells Funny Stories

- RITICAL visitors In the gallery
listened intently the other day
when the only woman in con-
homa, made "a speech. 'Curiously
enough. it was in opposition to the
maternity bih," which the women of
the country apparently supported.
These critical visitors also commented
on the fact that she told three funny
stories ia succession at the beginning
Of her remarks. She began thus:
-Mr. Chairman. II may seem ungra-
cious TO speak of aittle incident that
occurred once when a Cherokee girl
and very few of our beautiful half
breed Cherokee girls can talk in Chero-
kee--was suddenly called upon to

she quickly arose to the occasion and
