Mars To Be Nearest
Earth On Aug. p

The most important astronomical
event scheduled for 1924 is the near
opposition OF Mars next month, Aug
usr. Every fifteen or seventeen
years the opposition OF Mars occurs
when the planet is not far from
perihelion. or the point in its oroie
nearest the sun. The planet is then
about 5000 0nG miles nearer to the
earth than IL is az its most distant
opposition. which occurs when il IS
near aphelion. or the point farthest
from the sun. The last close oppo-
sition OF Mars occurred in Septem-
Der. 1893, when Mars came within
3e,is0. 600 miles of the earth. On
August - OF this year. few hours
before It comes into opposition with
the sun: Mars will be az distance
of 34.e3G,G0 miles from the earth,
which is very nearly. il not quite, as
close as il can ever come 20 the
earth. and about one and q half mil
lion miles nearer than il was fifteen
years ago.

League Trademark
Urged As Protection

| Geneva. July a. ?. by mall}-
Interna tionaI experts assigned TO
study draft articles for a convention
on unfair competition in business
have forwarded a set OF principles TO
the economic committee of the
League OF Nations. These recon-
mend among other things that states
which are members OF the Union
for the Protection OF Industrial Prop
erty should be asked to assure legal
redress. including penal remedies TO
nationals of other contracting coun-
tries in case OF fraudulent use OF
tradeEZarks.
The experts hold that sui;a BILE
penal measures should be framed TO
prevent the fraudulent or misleading
use OF trade designations other than
trademarks. such as names. styles OF
firms. headings OF printed matter.
eublems. etc. They believe that such
measures should apply not only to
the reproduction OF designations or
pictorial representations. OF both. but
also 10 colorado limitations OF the
same. as well as TO false indications
OF origin or OF identity of the produc-
er manufacturer or merchant when
ever such practices might cause con-
fusion as TO the origin OF the goods
in question
Furthermore. the recommendation
insist that the provisions of the In
ion for the Protection OF Industrial
Property should be especially applied
in the case OF seizures at frontiers
OF important products which carry
an Illegal trademark or commercial
name.
The experts also suggest that the
final convention should prohibit the
registration or unauthorized use OF
national embIems or arms. OF official
haIlmarks or signs indicating Official
warranty. and also OF any colorado
limitations. as trademarks or as parts
OF trademarks. This regulation
should apply only in the case of
goods similar to the goods for which
the hallmark or sign in question
would imply a guarantee.
Finally, the experts believe that
signatory states should forbid the
registration and provide for the cam
ceiling of any trademark which
is notorious in trade as mark own
ed by a national of another state.
Aggrieved persons should be allowed
five years in which to apply for the
cancellation OF improperly registered
trademarks Trademark registra-
tions should be forbidden when they
clearly constitute an act of unfair
competition.
