CENTERVILLE, Ind, Feb. 81
Fountain City won the Independent
basketball tourney held at Centerville
Saturday afternoon and evening when
they dropped the Whitewater five to
Saturday night. The Fountain City
lads put up a fine game and were
never in danger of being defeated.
Thomas and McNutt were the heavy
scorers for the winners, Thomas max
ing 16 points while McNutt made a
total of IA points during the contest.
Lacey put up a good defensive game
for Fountain City lads. Mutchner
scored IA points for the losers.
Centerville lost to Whitewater in
the opening game of the afternoon by
the score of 81 to 80. Centerville was
defeated in the final moments of
play
Hagerstown lost to Fountain City
by score of SO to 23. The game was
hard fought throughout and every
player was on his toes from the be-
ginning until the final whistle. Good
teamwork was displayed.
In the first game of the evening
Centerville and Hagerstown teams,
both of which had been eliminated,
met in curtain-raiser for the final
game. Their game, of course, had no
bearing on the tournament. Center
vile won this contest when Burris
came through with seven baskets.

The excitement that had hardly died

doorways ducked down again, while the
trolley car passengers rushed madly
about trying>to find some place to hide
The gsngsters continued to shoot calmly
enough at each other but with such poor
aim that nobody was hurt in the second
fight. The combatants ran again as

said that they thought the trouble was

Maryland believe that the Volstead law

law is destructive of the rights of the

authorities In many cases the reports
of@ Governors were of an encouraging
nature. indicating very gratifying prog
ress in making the enforcement OF the
Volstead act effective. Numerous in
stances Of lack of cooperation were
pointed out: many instances of the in
adequacy Of Federal forces were sug-
gested. On the whole the informal con-
ference was helpful both to the State
executives and Federal officials who
were present.
There was preponderance of opinion
that an earnest official appeal for rever-

of law enforcement by the press would
combine to cure the worst conditions

PATENT OFFICE
IS FAR BEHIND
ON LATE FILES
Commissioner Fenning Tells
n Pomerene Congress Is
y Indifferent.
80 So Correspondent.


WASHINGTON. July es.-More
than 10000 applications for patents
are being held up at the patent Of
flee here. Ambitious inventors an
xious to market their inventions must
have patience.
Acting Patent Commissioner Carl
Fenning said this to Senator Pome-
rene when the Senator sought to get
quick action for James J. Roberts Of
Defiance, Ohio, who has a patent
pending. Pomerene learned that the
Roberts application has been pending
only since May l. whereas there are
thousands on file which have been
waiting for many months. while some
have been on file for more than a
year.
Commissioner Fenning pointed out
the patent Office has been running be-
hind for more than twenty years. In
adequate pay for experts now en-
ployed and a tendency by these ex-
perts to leave the Government serv-
ice whenever opportunity presents
has resulted in such a shortage Of
competent patent examiners that IN
told loss and confusion is resulting.
All OF this has been told to Con-
gress repeatedly but the congress
sional attitude is such that the patent
Office literally is in d state OF de-
moralization. Failure Of Congress to
boost salaries sufficiently, Fenning
said, has caused half Of the patent
force to resign.
