TESTIMONY EAv0RS
PATENT LAW BILL
Experts Say There Is Need Of Pro.
tecting Practice Of Re-
liable Attorneys.
MANY COMPLAINTS MADE
Present Administration of Office
Is Praised.

Emphatic testimony in favor of the
Cramton bill to restrict practice be-
fore the patent Office on patent appli-
cations was given yesterday by William
w. Dodge, chairman of the legislative
committee of the American Patent Law
Association, and Harry E. knight. as
sistant to the Attorney General in
charge of patent legislation.
At the hearing before the patent
committee. of which Representative
F1orian Lampert Of Wisconsin is
chairman. Representative Sol Bloom
of New York emphasized the fact that
under the Cramton bill a man once
disbarred from practice before the
patent Office could not be hired even
as janitor by patent attorney firm.
Mr.. Dodge said that his association
was formerly the Patent Law Asso-
citation of Washington. 1t has $40
members and a recent referendum
showed that .234 members were in ia
fication and IA were opposed. He has
been a practicing patent attorney for
fifty-two years.
Have Many Complaints.
Patent Commissioner Robertson said
the complaints against "shyster" pat
ent attorneys and associations which
cannot practice before the patent of
flee are very many and coming in all
the time.
Mr.. knight said he had been with
the Department of Justice as special
agent six years and in charge of the
patent law branch three years. He
described the conditions in England
and said he wished that in this
country there was similar respect
for the law. He said a patent attor-
ney now is subject to so much criti-
cism he hardly dares call himself
by his proper name.
He deplored the tendency to take
every wild-eyed inventor and exploit
him to the limit and even to insti-
gate applications for inventions
which have already been patented.
He described the safeguards thrown
about the medical profession which
inspired confidence. and thrown about
other industrial. chemical, engineer
ing and electrical professions He
urged that a patent attorney should
have qualifications to fit him for the
position, that he should know the law
In all its branches. should have a wide
acquaintance with Industrial activity
and should know foreign languages.
The Americn patent office is admired
, and envied throughout the world
and there has never been a breath of
suspicion against any patent COM
missioner in the history Of the nation,
he said. and paid a high tribute to the
present commissioner.

MORTGAGES ON REALTY
HELD GOOD INVESTMENT
With Possible Exception of Gov.
ernment Securities, None More
Conservative, e. d. Rheem Saws.

With the possible exception Of Gov
ernment securities no investment offers
so many conservative features as real
estate mortgages. Edmund d. Rheem,
local realtor, told the real estate class at
the Y. NJ. c. A. The mortgage represents
only from SO to 60 per cent OF the value
on which it is secured; the income, in
the form of interest, is fixed and pay
able upon business conditions. The
value of the principal is staple and is
not subject to fluctuations due to
depressions of the money market.
The success of the mortgage in
vestment does not depend upon
the responsibility of any individual
or corporation, or whether the individ-
ual or corporation is successful in busi-
ness enterprises, as the real estate itself
is the basic security which is behind the
ability of the borrower to pay his in
terest and principal. Mortgages run for
a definite time, and therefore the invest
ment can be considered permanent for
that time. Mortgages are also con-
venient to handle and can be used as
collateral security. .-.
The various details connected with
the execution and negotiation of mort
cages We're outlined to the class by Mr.
ltheem who explained the methods Of
financing real estate deals and the nee
