esting use in making synthetic perfumes
and synthetic drugs.
Dinitrophenol was supplied to the
French High Commission as an explosive.
In peace time we find it used in making
dyes, including the American new sulphur
black. This dye is interesting because it
finds wide application in dyeing such
articles as hosiery and was one of the dyes
that Germany was confident America
could not make. 1t is gratifying to learn
from textile manufacturers that American
sulphur black is at least twenty per cent
better than any German sulphur black
they have ever used.
Chlorine was the first toxic gas used by
the Germans. In peace time it is used in
the publication of water, the bleaching of
of great many dyes, perfumes and anti
septics.
Napthalene was used in making our
wartime daylight signal rockets. Now it
is used in making such beautiful dyes as
indigo and orange.
From these few examples it will be
readily seen why it is so simple matter
to convert a dye plant into wartime
production plant and why so many other
industries are directly dependent upon
dyes.-Selected.

PATENTS

How is it that so many patents can be
issued all for the same invention? l
thought if man had patent for an in
vention nobody else could have one." This
pertinent question is put into the mouth of
an interlocutor by Emanuel Scheyer, in an
article entitled Whats So and What Isn't
About Patents,' contributed to The Amer
ican Machinist New York;. He answers
it as follows:
Well, you see, an invention is usually
composed of number of different parts
all of which acting together make up the
whole. Take, for instance, our wheel.
There are the tire, the rim, the spokes,
and the hub, which, fastened together,
make up the wheel. Now suppose you
were the first man in the world who ever
thought of wheel and that you took out
a patent for it, Your patent, if properly
worded would claim any round object
that revolved on an axle. 1t would be
what is known as a basic patent. Basic
patents are the wheat among the chaff

WANT 13-MONTH YEAR

A bill introduced in Congress proposes
radical change in "our antiquated time
calendar" The Liberty Calendar Asso-
citation of America" is behind it.
1t is proposed that there be thirteen
months, ffty-two weeks and 36+ days,
with the odd day called "New Years
Day" to come between the last day of
December and January 1. In leap year
the odd day would be called Leap Year
day" and would come between June 2S
and July 1. The extra month is to be
called "Vern," because it would take in
"vernal equinox" and would begin spring.
Each month would consist of twenty-eight
days.
BY the arrangement outlined in bill
introduced in the house by Representative

of patents and they are few and far be-
tween. Your patent would be so broad
that it would stop anybody from using
any kind of wheel, whether it was solid
disk wheel, a wire wheel, wheel with
wooden spokes, pneumatic-tired wheel,
or an iron-tired wheel. AS soon as your
invention became known to the world,
people would be quick to see how good it
was and begin to make Improvements.
Mr.. Jones would invent the solid disk
wheel and patent it; Mr.. Smith would do
likewise with wire wheel, etc. The re-
suit would be hundreds of different patents
for different parts of wheel. Your
patent, covering all wheels, being good
for seventeen years, all these other inven-
tors, in spite of the fact that they had
patents, would not be allowed to use their
Improvements without first paying you for
your permission. AS time went on and
seventeen years passed, your patent would
no longer be in force.
Now everybody could make wheels in
accordance with their patents. Hundreds
and hundreds of patents would now be
obtained, each differing from the other
only in some small detail of the wheel and
having value equal only to the value of
that detail over the others. The vast
majority of patents issued, no matter what
the field, comes under this aforementioned
category. If the detail has value, then so
has its patent, but if the detail be unim-
portant, the patent is worthless because by
substituting something else the patent can
be beaten."-Ex.

PRECEDENT SET BY MONROE

This isn't the first time that the United
States has sponsored disarmament con-
ference. President Monroe set the prece-
dent 107 years ago. His efforts brought
about Rush-Baget agreement under which
England and this country limited naval
strength on the Great Lakes. The success
of Monroe's splendid purpose is attested
by the fact that the two greatest powers
in the world have lived in peace for over
century, and that the Canadian -Ameri-
can borderline of 1000 miles has not
fort nor a cannon nor soldier to guard
either frontier.
In 1914 when Monroe proposed limita-
ton in armament on the Great Lakes he
used practically the same arguments that
are being heard today. His letter to the
British government read in part: "It is
evident, if each party augments its force
with view to obtaining the ascendancy
over the other, that vast expense will be
incurred, and the danger of collision aug.
mented in like degree. He (Monroe) is
willing to confne each side to certain
number of armed vessels, and the smaller
the number the more agreeable to him; or
to abstain altogether from an armed force
beyond that used for the revenue"
Though England at that time was pre-
pairing to increase her naval force on the
lakes, she entered into the spirit of the
overture. The conference agreed to limit
each government to one vessel not exceed
ing 100 tons burden, and equipped with
one 1S-pound cannon, for Lake Ontario
each to maintain two vessels of the same
tonnage and armament on the upper lakes,
and one each on Lake Champlain. All
other armed vessels on the lakes were dis
mantled, and no others were thereafter to
be built or armed.
This pacific move was all the more re-
markable because it closely followed the
bitterly contested war of 1912. "You may
search all the records of diplomacy as far
back as diplomacy has existed and find no
single act that displays broader wisdom
or greater moral courage, or that has been
more prolific of beneficial results" COM
ments the Scientific American. Judged
as an act of craftsmanship, it has been
pronounced the highest achievement OF the
English-speaking races."-Ex.

plifcation will dispense with need for
printed calendars, saving about $2s,000,-
900 a year from this alone.-Ex.

MODERN DAY MIRACLES

The art of warfare is as old as the race
itself. Warfare at first consisted of throw
ing stones at the enemy or hitting him
with club.
The art slowly progressed. The cata-
pult was used for hurting good-sized rocks
and the bow and arrow served its purpose
in stand-off combats. Thus it went for
many centuries. Warfare consisted of
ninety per cent hand to hand work and
perhaps ten per cent of shooting from
distance.
Along about 134s an old monk found
that gunpowder when properly ignited,
gave vent to pretty good sized noise.
England and France were at war and the
new invention was tried out at the battle
of Crecy with the result that the horses
became frightened at the "noise like thun-
der" Losses were heavy and gunpowder
was voted success.
Warfare didn't advance greatly for CEN
turies. To be sure many Improvements in
guns and explosives were made but the
basic principle remained-the only way to
put an enemy out of commission was to
hit him with projectile.
On the morning of April %, 1915, war
fare was revoutionized when cloud of
Chlorine gas was sent over the Allied
trenches wiping out whole regiments. This
experiment proved so successful that the
war, opening as it did, 100 per cent ex-
plosive, ended S. per cent chemical.
These war gases are of particular in
terest to the student of chemistry because
of the variety of uses to which they are
put in times of peace.
Phosgene, one of the most important of
the war gases, has found wider use in
peace time than any of the others. 1t finds
? its most direct application in the manu-
facture of large line of dyes, including
blue, pink, violet yellow and green. 1t is
used in the manufacture of Coumarin, one
of the essentials in making synthetic van
liza ana perfume tOllet soaps. III is also
used in killing rodents, thus aiding in pre-
venting the spread of bubonic plague.
Phosgene finds another application in free
ing certain sands used in the manufacture
of optical glass from traces of iron.
Benzyl Benzoate was required for wea-
ther-proofng and freproofing aeroplane
wings in the war. 1t now finds an inter
