WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-Uncle
Sam Is making a neat profit out OF
his Patent Office, but is giving very
poor service to the people in exchange
for their money. it is admitted here.
Though the citizen Is kept waiting
some fourteen months for a definite
answer as to whether his idea can
be patented, the United Stares Pat
ent Office has turned into the Treas
ury a total OF ss,52S, 519.45 net earn
ings.
Earnings last year alone netted the
Government s163.552.S5.
1t is for Congress to provide the
necessary help.
Suppose the John Doe Automobile
Accessories Company of Indianapolis
writes to the Patent Office to find out
II a certain device has been patented
by any other company.
Look for Yourself
John Doe Company receives by way
Of answer:
Patent numbers so and so cove .
automobile accessories Of the nature
you describe. URon payment OF 10
cents for copies Of all patents on this
subject, you can look for yourself"
Assistant Commissioner Carl Elem
ing points out another difficulty:
"A non-hreproof building and wood
en- fling cabinets containing original
records of every American patent
make the Patent Office a literal fire
trap These 100000 records Of every
inventive endeavor could never be re-
placed"
But Congressional regulations pro-
hibit patent officials employing their
surplus earnings to cure these evils.

further obstacle. it is said was
placed in the way by dry leaders in
Congress who opposed the transfer Of
Commissioner Haynes and the pro-
hibition unit TO the Department of
Justice instead of the Treasury De
partment as at present, but the reor-
Eanization scheme did not contemplate
such a change.
Despite this organized opposition by
farm bloc members and drys, the Ad-
ministration hopes yet to place the
Government on a business basis"

After the fever the patient Is very

deaths occur among children under 10.
The cause Of scarlet fever is OBJ

The first symptoms are nausea, sore
throat, headache. backache and high
fever. the patient often becoming de-
lirious. These symptoms, with the ex-
ception Of nausea, continue until the
fourth day.
The rash appears first in the mouth
and throat. Soon It spreads to the
neck and chest, then to the hands and
feet, and by the third or fourth day
it has covered the entire body. This
rash, which is a congestion Of the
blood vessels, Is in the skin, not on
the surface. It subsidies after the
seventh or eighth day and the peel
ing process begins. covering an addI4
tional period of ten days.
Because Of the danger of resulting
complications the treatment Of the pa

be too careful.

Of these air currents.

To the Editor Of The Times
A serious accident occurred on Key
stone Ave, Saturday night in the
center Of one of the bridges, all be-
cause the road way was narrowed at
the time it was built. An eighteen
foot road. ordinarily no more than
sufficient to allow two automobiles to
meet, has been narrowed considerably
at the approaches to each OF two
bridges, apparently because the con
tractor wanted to save little money.
Moreover, pedestrians. and there are
many, have to use the same bridge.
One Of these bridges is a wooden, COW
cred structure, and ought to be re-
moved out Of respect for the time it
has served. The other ought to be re-
moved out Of respect" to the man
who built It.
