Inventors are making Washington

was found today in the patent issue
records. These show that the great
est per capita percentage Of patents
issued goes to residents Of the Dis
trict OF Columbia. Connecticut
comes second, California third and
Idaho last.
Auto Devices Lead.
One reason assigned for the num-
Der OF inventors living here is that
being pit the national capital they
are in closer touch with the patent
Office, and in a better position to
look after their interests.
During the past year approx
mately $4,000 patents were applied
for, the largest percentage pertain.
ing to automobile attachments and
improvements.
The. Civil Service Commission has
announced the second examination
Tor assistant examiners for the
patent office will be held May Z.
One hundred and eighty persons
nave applied for examination on
April 8, when the first is held.
According to the commission a
second examination becomes neces.
sary as there care at present one
hundred positions to be filled, and
1t is not expected that a sufficient
number of applicants examined on
April ., will pass to fill all Of the
positions.
Women Among Applicants.
Approximately fifty women will
take the first examination. Many
OF the applicants are residents OF
the District of Columbia, a con.
siderable number being among law
students who are planning to be.

see in the opportunity to work as

sinks

PIP SIrIT

g At noon the next day, Chickie
: searched for a gift for Mary's
baby. . Through her thoughts
went a singing-singing Of mourn
full voices. They filled her ears
with echoes. And these dropped
softly, like the first rain Of win
ter. on her heart.
She looked in a jewelr's win
dow. A little ring or set Of
pins, perhaps. Then she saw on
mering pearls and fancied them
resting on baby's neck.
! Mary would like that-it would
be a wondrous token. Not on
!, .Mary's child but on her own
Chickie saw the pearls. Little
still thing lying on a table and
she had gone up and touched it's
lips. pressed herr cheek against it.,
crying because its; life, went out
in such a cold and lonely way;
like a, thing that no: one wanted;
like thing no one loved. She
wished that she had given it some
costly, beautiful thing. like theae
pearls.
She went in. and bought them.
: Mary would be in tears Of excite
ment. Chickie wished to write a
warm, bright note-yet she paused,
a long while over a sentences:
] MARY, darling: You thought your
joy could give me pain SO you
didn't speak Of it? But / am:
glad you have a little girl"
Why should one be glad for
that? Why were people so ad-
venturous, even so happy bring
ing children here? II Jonathan
could have looked down the years
and seen his empty harvest,
would he still have asked for
child? Still have poured out his
heart in love?
Would any one long for a
daughter IL 1t were to have a fate
like hers?
Strange how thugs turn out
stranger still how things are
judged. Mary had a child, and
every one rejoiced. Chici1ie had
a child. For this she was now
in exile, because Of this her face
was slapped, and any one who
wished could point to her with
scorn.
IL WOulu never Gnu. Sne LnOuRnL
Of Martha's words-walk bravely
in her own calm faith; be deaf
to the worlds opinion that It
might not beat her down.
Easier to write that than to
follow it. She went back to the
office, locked the door. She
smiled bitterly doing this, for it,
too, was an evasion. She should
leave 1t wide open. II Luis La
marck entered, then up with her
fist and strike. Ho--
She had no visitor that day
