113,783 Patients Set
 New Record for U. s.

Washington. Dec. 2. R-Appli- cations for patents, trademarks, and legal registrations coming under tho supervision of the United States patent office set new high record for the fiscal 3ear 1927, Commits sioner Thomas F.. Robertson re- ported today to the commerce de- partment. The total number was 113,7S3 or 3.75S more than for 1926, and 1S6 more than during 1922, which was the previous high record year.
 In the face of this flood of ap- plications for patents, Commissioner Robcrtson's department has been forced to fall behind schedule. The average patent application now takes three and half months for granting, while year ago issues were being made, on an average, two and half months after receipt
 The difficulty is in maintaining a force of examiners sufficient for the work, the commissioner says.
 Wage increases for examiners and an enlargement of staff, he con cludes, now is necessary in the in terests of the country's industrial efficiency.

HILL ROADS SAVED MANY IN FLOODS
Vermont Highways Used by
 Refugees

Woodstock, Vt, Dec. 2. P,-The "hill roads, of New England neg lected since the advent of the mo- tor car, have come into their own again in Vermont by reason of the floods.
 So undeveloped that they seldom appeared on general maps, narrow 10 the width of a farm wagon or logging sledge. with only a natural surface of earth, the back roads were called upon to handle not only small automobile but the big trucks which. after the collapse of rail road bridges, were the only means of bringing supplies to stricken regions.
 = No motorist ever took the old mountain roads with their steep grades, where one machine had 10 stop to let another pass. and where for miles on miles there were no filling stations nor farmhouscs.
 But the main highways all fol- lowed the valleys, and when the floods came bridges were washed away and highways gullied, and jh" mountain roads were resorted to.
 Within a week there roads W,ro back on the maps" Each motor ist left the benefit of his experience at the hotel or garage in the next town. A few days after the flood, by calling at these clearing houses in each village, travellers could find their way to any desired point. Progressive inn managers even posted detour maps in their Hobbies or pinned up improvised maps.
 The old routes frequently doubled the distance and some times quadrupled the driving time between points, and 16 miles an hour became top speed, but they saved the day.

 President Coolidge rose and shook hands He is tall, dry, his shoulders little bent, his hair blond and smooth, his eyes pale, almost timid, his complexion clear, his features those of clergyman. This visage, sensitive as seismo- graph, expresses both austerity and close calculation. He smiles cour- teously. officially but affably, noth- ing of pose, no sign of presumption, nothing certainly of the theater nor of the cinema. He is there overbur- doned perhaps, without nerves. neither impatient, presiding in simple pride over an immense force, an immense work and i'm mcnse riches.
 T spoke to him Of France. He listened gravely. l spoke of French statesmen. He nodded courteously. Nevertheless l felt that his thought mad never left America, the United States, for one second. Elsewhere Le supposed each would do as he does.
 ''But he. His burden Is heavy ,npugh, a continent to govern, to hear, to manage. This slender man has under his command larger ter litories and more people than ever lad Alexander or Napoleon. His only care is evidently to maintain balance In unity and unity in bal ance.
 T spoke of the American eco- homie situation. of the slowing up of certain industries, of the farm ing crisis. His psysiognomy be- came animated, speculation lived in his eyes. Miracle, he spoke, he explained. he poured out details. When I pronounced the word 'cri- sis he exclaimed geographically No! no!'
 'He has a cool confidence. ten acitv little high. the American pride. the republic optimism. ..,. Finally the word Mexico came up. l was about to visit Mexico be- fer going 10 California. The presi- dent stopped. His eyes betrayed a hrusque reserve. He rose and in q ;oNrney"
