HOUS|NGPATENTS
RAISES PROBLEM
Working Force of Office Also
Inadequate, Says Commits
sioner IN Report.

Housing facilities Of the Patent
Office are now entirely inadequate to
AXE care Of the increasing volume of
pusiness," Commissioner Of Patents
Robertson declared in his annual re-
port today. The present working
orce of the office, the Commissioner
said. Is obviously inadequate, espe-
cially in view Of the increasing vol
ume of work coming into the Patent
Office" AS an indication of this, the
report shows that in two years the
new cases have increased by $1,000
and the amended cases by $4,000.
After three years of. steady prog
ress, the Commissioner points out,
during which the cases in arrears
were reduced by $4,000, radical reduc-
tions were made in professional per-
Sonnel, SO that the Patent Office is
now unable to handle the work as fast
as it is received. During the two
fiscal years 1925 and 1926 the Patent
Office enjoyed annual appropriations
amounting to about $1SO,00O for the
employment of 100 temporary exam
lners. During the current year. in.
stead of this amount, only $4,000 Is
available. This situation has necessi-
tated a reduction in the examining
corps, exclusive of principal exam
iners, from $50 to 4S5.
During the last fiscal year the Pat
ent Office handled 10000 applica-
tionS, an increase of 6,439 over the
figure for 1925.
A section Of the report deals with
the disposition Of old models which
were filed in the Patent Office prior to
1880. About $4,000 of the models were
sent to the National Museum and
$500 were returned to claimants as
heirs Of patentees. The remainder of
the old models were sold at auction,
from which $3.50 was realized.

M'NARY TOOFFER
FARM BILL AGAIN
Redrafted Measure viii Ask
$3.50, ,OOO,O 600 Fund From
Federal Treasury.

The McNary- -Haugen farm relief
bill, this time in a somewhat simpli-
fled form, again will knock at the
door of Congress.
Senator McNary Of Oregon. who
will be the new chairman OF the Sen
ate agriculture committe, proposes
to introduce a redrafted measure on
the first day of the approaching ses-
sion and speed it's journey along the
legislative pathway to a final vote.
The new bill will embody the same
principles as the old, he said, and,
although the final draft Is not COM
plete, he proposes to ask an appro-
priation Of $3.50, 100000 to set up the
export machinery which the measure
would create to handle to surplus
crops.
Senator McNary still expects to
confer with number Of farm leaders,
but in announcing his intention to
again bring the bill before Congress
he asserted the principal change to be
made In the new measure would be

would set up.

will draw more support at the coming
session, as the farmers of the West
and South. are, in his opinion, de-
manding more ardently a relief from
low prices.
The new measure would provide for
a board to be appointed by the Presi-
dent from the IL Federal Land Bank
districts. and would receive a salary
Of $4,000 per year each. They would
be required to devote their whole time
to the business Of the board.
Crops to be included in the scope
of the proposed measure would be
wheat, corn cotton, swine and rice,
the last named appearing for the
first time in connection with such leg
islation.
Assurances of support, the Senator
said, have been given him by a num-
ber of Senate and House members.

later years or for health promotion

Joined Mr.. McCrillis in empha asizing
the need of a competent inspector.
Charges were made that in many in
stances people were being "gouged"
by unscrupulous plumbers. The use
Of inferior pipe and the installation
Of plumbing without the necessary
vents are laid at the doors of some
Of these plumbers. This type of work
has necessitated not only minor re-
placements, but in some cases re-
installation Of the entire equipment,
1t was said.
The meeting Endorsed the newly
created Arlington District Council of
Citizens Associations, organization of
which was explained by Mr.. Mc1,emar.
The question of correcting an in.
sanitary sewer condition resulting
from an open drain having its outlet
near the intersection of Clarendon
and Fort avenues was put up to the
health department.
