FAMOUS WATERLOO
 BRIDGE DOOMED
Noted Bridge of England Will Be

 It was bad enough when they

 was lamentable the other day when
 Piccadilly circus was robbed Of the blithesome bronze statue Of Eros
 and the weather-beaten "howers girls" who sat at his feet were . shooed away. But now they say the ! graceful arches of Waterloo bridge, far and away the most beautiful ol
 the structures that span the tidal i Thames, must vanish stone by stone.
 And nobody knows yet just what Is | going to be done about the domf
 of St. Paul's, which has been ad'
 judged dangerous.

CHAPMAN IN YOUTH AND "GANG" INFLUENCE.

Attempts to gain access to the au- thentic early history Of Gerald Chap man continues apace, and there is at least a slight chance that something may crop up 10 inform us all about his boyhood, school days and early days generally before the final cur tain descends to finish his career. if such a contingency finally Is permit ted to take place.
 That he was raised in New York is fairly certain. and that he still has relatives there, one of whom is brother standing high in the com- munity, also appears likely.
 It is significant that none of Chap mans relatives have made an effort to communicate with him during his dilemma in Connecticut. And it is equally plain that Chapman, realiz- ing their wish not to be embarrassed by his naming them AS kin, holds a discreet silence. The woman sup posed to be his aunt insists he i' dead" HTs brother. a respectable head of a family, regards him in tht same light.
 That Chapman was from youti regarded as a black sheep and tha he became a veritable ou,cast earl tn life. there seems little doubt. Tha his criminal .proclivities were a by product of upper east side gang Tiff in Manhattan also seems certain Chapman may by nature have ha an evil turn of mind. hut there every likelihood that it was doTe'oI cd by bad companions,

GLADSOME EASTER AND BALNIY SPRING.

Renewed life has been slowly bursting into view as the balmy breezes of spring fan natures verdure-clad hills and dales. And now. further to emphasize the ar rival of the gladsome days comes the holy festival called Easter, when the Christian church commemo morates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Christian world from its early history on has emphasized its main tenet of belief on that day with an accompaniment of all available em- bellishments yielded by nature and hrt-
 New Britain's churches this year twill observe the holy holiday in their accustomed manner. The story of the resurrection will be told from the pulpits amid bowers of greenery and flowers; organs will aid in pealing Ahs tidings and choirs will sing the glad refrain of hope in immortality.
 And in the afternoon, if the weather conforms to the pleasure in human hearts there will be the an- nual Easter parade" or such notifications of it as are found In cities not boasting the glories of a Fifth avenue.
 New frocks, suits and hats are ar important part of the official open ing of spring and 1t is B human trai' to show them off upon this grea day; and be it added that such ; sartorial observance does not in thu least submerge an appreciation 0 the deeper meaning of the holiday
 Quaint and beautiful customs hav' grown up around the Eastertide. Tn use of eggs in connection with tn holiday is q custom said to hav been borrowed from the Persians and dyeing them red is said to sym belize the blood of ths redemption Dyeing them other colors has no sig nificance. The sending of Easte greetings to friends has becom nearly as common as sending sue greetings on other holidays. Chi dren. ever eager for novelty In the youthful lives, find excitement onl second to toy time at Christmas.
 Easter always falls upon the fir Sunday after the full moon appea ing on or after March 21, which w the system adopted at the Council Nice in s25. This accounts for Il varying date of the holiday.

while American patent owners have freauep'.x been reluctant to face the hardshivs Of extending their patents to foreign countries,
 Secretary Hoover comeident with the transfer of the patent office from the Department, of the Interior to the Department of Commerce, ad- vocated proposals for International equality relating to patents, .and added: "A list of many large manu- factures established by American capital abroad in order 10 protect their patents could be enumerated, whereas thcrc has been no cstah- lshmcpt of manufacture in this country for this reason"
 There have been charges Of pat ent suppression made by opponents of the present monopoly, and the supreme court in the Lock case in 1909 states, Tt is q fact similar in commercial history that patent rights have a commercial value for purposes of extinction, that many patents are purchased in order to prevent the competition of new in ventions and of new machines al- ready installed"
 The last large industrial nation tc adopt a compulsory working clause in its patents law was Great Britain through the adoption of the Lloyd George act of 1907. The act had tho immediate effect of stimulating Brit ish industry, millions of dollars be | ing expended for the construction 0 plants and the purchase of machin cry with which to work foreign pat

 Whatever the outcome of the in

 it Is considered doubtful whcthe
 Secretary Hoover is prepared to rec

 working provision that would appl
 to American patent holders. It is bc
 lieyed he will ask that a workin

 form of discrimination, it is sait

 Efforts in the past 10 bring abol the enactment of working clause this country have failed. Such c , forts were made in 1908, 1912 al 1922. when bills to this end vel favorably reported by committees s Congress. But none of them r x ceived consideration on the floor 7 the Senate or House.
