At least 100 additional examiners
are needed to bring the work ct the
patent office up to date within a rea.
sonable time. according to the annual
report of the commissioner of patents
made public today. The eighty-flve
additional employees authorized for
the present fiscal year will help to
reduce the 1884 applicants on hand
awaiting action, the commissioner
says. but he adds that more employees
are necessary to bring the work up
90 date.
The patent commissioner also makes
plea for more space, setting forth
that every nook and corner of the
building is being used: that halls un-
fit for Office purposes are being used
tor technical employees and their as
sistants, aud that the building, con
gested as it is now, will be taxed bo-
Sond its capacity when the force is
augmented. He also urges that the
old land Office building, across the
street from the patent office. be placed

Pistols and Murders

~ NE thousand two hundred and one
u murders done in Georgia during the
last three years, as recorded by the
state bureau of vital statistics, were COM
mitted with firearms, which in ninety-three
cases out of every hundred were pistols. For
the same period there were two hundred and
ffty-nine suicides, in which pistols or shot
guns were the means of destruction Fur
thermore, five hundred and fifty human lives
were blotted out by accidental discharge OF
those weapons. This is a total of two thou
sand and ten Deaths or six hundred and
seventy year, chargeable to pistols and
guns-mosty to pistols.
Yet, our legislatures have declined re-
peatedly to restrict the promiscuous sale and
carrying of these instruments of death.
1t is learned further by way of the bureau
of vital statistics whose records become con-
tinually valuable to the public for the
light which they throw on critical problems
that the states murder rate for the last
three years has had an annual increase of
approximately ten per cent. An appalling
fact this is, when one ponders its human
import and social consequences. What shall
be done? Well, thing that ought to be
done is Immediately suggested by the related
fact that firearms (pistols for the most part)
were the instruments of three hundred and
ninetysx homicides in 1920, of four hun
dred and five homicides in 1921, and of four
hundred and twenty4seven homicides in 1922
How much longer will the legislature re-,
fuse to restrict, in the interest of Georgia's
good repute and for saving human life, pro-
miscuous traffic in crimes deadlest tools?
Certainly no statute to this end can wholly
prevent, but just as certainly it can much
reduce the evil. The murder problem, apart
from its deeper moral sources is largely
pistol problem. Is it not high time the pub
lie were protected?

HOW TO BE PUNCTUAL
BY n. ADDTNGTON BRUCE

TT is a self-evident truism to say that
punctuality-the being on time to meet
~ ones obligations and appointments-is a
factor of no small importance in the win
ming of business success.
Everybody appreciate this. Nobody would
dream of disputing it,
But what many people would like to know
as my personal correspondence indicates
is how to cure oneself of impunctualty if
one happens to be an impunctual person.
IT don't mean to be late is a typical
lament. Il don't mean to keep people wait
ing for me. But somehow [ am always late,
and somehow [ always keep PEOPLE waiting.
II do not seem to have any sense of the
passage of time. There now, say to my
self after an embarrassing experience due to
my impunctuaIity, have learned my lesson,
l will never be late again. But the next
time / am late as usual"
Some psychologists insist that in cases
like this there is always present subcon-
scious desire to be late, as a means Of dem
onstrating, if only through lateness, ones
superiority to the common run of people.
Which suggests, of course, that the i'm
punctual one is oppressed by consciousness
of inferority to others, else he or she would
not resort even subconsciously to this child
ish mode of demonstrating superiority.
However this may be, to be forever i'm
punctual is certainly sign of undue ego
centricism or self-centredness. 1t betrays an
Indifference to the rights and feelings of 9TH
ers which no truly sympathetic and socially
minded person would have.
Consequently a first step in the Gre of
impunctuality is cultivation, not of sense
of the passage of time, but of a genuine al
truism. To this end nothing is more help
full than frequently to put oneself in imagi-
nation in the place of other people
How would | feel if So-and-so did such
and-such to me?' is a question which, by
frequent reiteration, will do much to estab-
lish an altruistic attitude and incidentally
aid in overcoming the impunctuality one de-
plores. Also, to be sure, there should be eff.
fort directed specifically to overcoming it,
The impunctual usually, though by no.
means always, are dawd1ers. Hence they
should spur themselves to greater liyeliness
both of thought and action. And, remember
ing that it is just as easy to be few min
utes ahead of time for an appointment as a
few minutes late, they should for a while

really good story achieves mortality-it

of the truth of this consider the following
tale which, in various forms has been cur
rent ever since it's birth, thrty-odd years
ago:
A distinguished citizen of Louisville-so
the most popular version has it-went to a
dinner one night and stayed late. II was
o'clock in the morning when he reached
his house afoot. In front of the house was
a very small yard, hardly more than an
ornamental grassplot; and in the exact cen
ter of it stood maple sapling with two
inch butt. The Kentuck.an mad for the
door, but tackled off at an angle and bumped
into the little treeet. He made a fresh
start, executed wide and uncertain detour
and came back smack up against the
maple. This time he put his back against
its swaying trunk in order to be sure of
getting the direction right-and off he went
again, blowing up the grass. 1t wasn't any
use-he crcled the lawn twice, but he fin
1shed up holding on to the sapling.
Thereupon he sat himself on the earth
with great care, removed his hat, his shoes
and his dress coat, and rolled UP the dress
coat for pillow; and as he sank to rest
beneath the stars he muttered in a voice of
designations

JAPAN'S MESSAGE TO GARCIA
By Dr.. Frank Crane

Ebert Hubbard wrote one thing that has
become a classic. It was his Message to
Garcia, the story, of a soldier who was
given a message to deliver to the Cuban
general, Garcia, and succeeded in deliver
ing it in spite of apparently insurmount-
able obstacles. 1T was the Notwithstanding
tale Of the triumph Of the determined hui
man spirit.
| have just heard an old Japanese legend
that contains the same idea, and shows how
eternal it is in the thought of man

who had spent eighteen years in the coun-
try and was yersed in it's lore.

called Seta HASH, which is still one of
the eight sights of Omi.
1t was across this bridge that lay the
highway running from Kyoto to Tokyo, and
along this road passed the merchants the
pilgrims and the cavaliers.
Now it seems that around the mountain
of Omi there was coiled in seven huge
folds a thousand-legged dragon This
dragon had a playful way of deyouring now
and then some daimo or lesser lord who
might be going along that road.
Many bold warrior had undertaken to

hravely enough against him, only to be

At last a great-hearted hero, Hidesato

tion and got as far the bridge, Seta

The Tax Mountain,

BILLION-DOLLAR Congress seems

lion to our brisk and giddy times?
It was not to be expected that during
period in which living costs steadily rose for
the citizen, they would remain stationary for
the government. It was not reasonably to
be expected, let us add for there are folk
a-plenty who do insist that government,
vouchsafe them a dollars worth of service
for fifty cents Of taxes. "Give us good
roads, they cry; but no sooner is it sug-

that purpose than they draw BAG - jailed.

proposal that they bear a mill or so of ad-
ditic1al taxation therefor outrages their
sense of economy. "Give us public health
protection, they importune; but when ask

ton service or medical inspection for school
children, they decide, apparently that the
saving of human life is not so important
as the boarding of dollar.
Not from misers and -nossbacks will come
the effective challenge to governmental ex-
travagance. Government must be service
able, or it cannot be economical; it must
minister to and promote the common veal,
or it will not be worth even skinflint sup
and advance the general good, or it will
have spent in vain. True champions of econ

Insofar as purely administrative matters
