AUxILlARlES FOR THE FAIR

COLONEL D'OLIER'S call for a meeting
~ of representatives OF eleven civic organ
izations with the directors of the fair con-
tains the germ of a constructive program

In this selection. All Of them are known
friends Of the fair project. Mere general
Endorsement, however, is not enough There
Is a diversity of ways in which each Of these
organizations can be helpful TO the eXposi-
tion enterprise. and It IS therefore of realistic
importance that they should be brought into
intimate contact with the directorate and
specifically informed regarding its purposes.
Any movement designed to provide the
Sesqui Centennial with an escape from
none too splendid isolation Is 70 be strongly
commended. In line with this laudable ef-
fort is the suggested formation Of national
advisory body. composed Of leaders in in
dustry trade. finance, art and civic prog
ress.
Such men as Herbert Hoover. Charles NJ,
Schwab, Matthew Brush and Bernard NJ.
Baruch have been proposed. The list is
capable of stimulating extension. II the
idea is carried out on the proper scale, 1t
should serve 10 establish the necessary i'm
preston that the fair is of consequence not
only to Philadelphia. but to the entire Ma
ton.
Local enterprise Is. Of course. primarily
requisite, but the fair undertaking can never
be worthy of the cpochal event which 1t is to
sgnalize until it has inspired the most
cordial and widespread national enthusiasm.

Prospects for saner rule in Galicla will

whole, suffered less from tyrannous inter-
ference from Vienna than any of the outly-

The Use of Patents

There is measure in Congress the Stanley bill,
to which an amendment has been offered to prevent
Of patents providing, among other things,
that two years after the issuance of any United
states patent any time after the expiration of
that period If is shown that the invention covered
by such patent is being worked in substantial
in foreign country, and that the owner
thereof has failed work in the United States,
and has refused refuses to grant licenses there
under in such reasonable terms would make it
practicable to practice the patent in the United
States then the petition of any American citizen,
corporation or partnership. jurisdiction is hereby
granted" to inquire into the matter and on show
ing that is the purpose OF the owner the paentee
prevent the of his patent in this country to
order the issue of exclusive licenses to make use
OF the patent on certain conditions.
We would suggest amendment to the amend
ment to cover. believe an abuse of greater vol
ume than that provided against in the amendment.
The provision should apply to all patents for inven
tions which not being substantially worked in
this country, whether not they being used in
a foreign country, provided though the owner Of the
patent may make a showing Of his inability by rea-
of a lack of capital otherwise. to make
of his invention
Many useful inventions are secured from
patenees by wealthy manufacturing to keep
the products Of such inventions off the market Or
else the patentees tied up by contracts that
use cannot be made of the patent which competitors
would gladly use but prevented from using.
While it is supposed that manufacturers
always to embrace real improvements. they
not always thus eager The manufacturer may have
device superior to all others that for purposes
of competition he does not need improvement
which could be installed at expense which would
not likely be compensated for by increased business.
He therefore holds it indefinitely until increas
ing competition drives him to the adoption of the
improvement.

Persons passing along that street at that point are
compelled to take to the roadway, which unpaved

The DYING Prospector
To Whom 1t May Concern:
[Chapter Onel
An old Nevada prospector
Lay dying on the ice;
He did not have no woman nurse
For he did not have the price.
lChapter Two]
His burro stood beside him
As the sun sunk in repose
To listen to his dying words
And watch him while he froze.
rChapter Threel
The dying man propped up his head
Above four feet of snow
And said. ~ never saw 1t thaw before
at a hundred and eight below.
IChapter Fourl
Tell the boys back in the homeland
If you ever reach the East,
That this damned Nevada desert
Is no place for man or beast.
LChapter Fivel
1.-THE lands too elevated,
The winds too awful cold
But the hills of Arizona
Yield the very finest gold.
[Chapter Sixl
TELL the burros on the border
To remain and have cinch,
For the price of patent porkchops
Is eighty cents an inch"
Mrs. John Egstrom wife of the
jigger boss on the United Western,
read the following ode to the Oatman
mountains:
Dear old oatman mountains in the

While the mists caress you rather
