By THE COUNSELLOR.

Smithers had been working for the
Alto Canning Co. for 10 years. placing
sheets Of metal through huge rollers
and withdrawing the cans as they
rolled out of the chute below.
While adjusting the wheels of the
canning machine he suddenly thought
of an Improvement that would simpli'
fy and quicken the operation.
In the evenings that followed he
spent his time with drawings and
simple experiments. He perfected the
Improvement and had it patented.
Being now certain that his invention
would be successful, SmitherS IN
formed his employers that he was
leaving and explained that he had in
vented an improvement on the can
ming machine and had splendid pros
poets of selling his righk
The employers, on a study Of the in
vention. saw it's great possibilities and
brought suit to have the patent trans
ferred to them, claiming that as
Smithers was in their employ when he
discovered the improvement, all rights
to the patent belonged to them.
But Smithers won the suit, the court
stating:
THE mere fact that an employe
creates an invention while in the serv'
Ice OF his master does not thereby give
the employer the right to the inven
ton. 1t is only where an employe is
specifically employed to devise or per
rect an instrument or machine that

And Myra, in one of her rare mo.
ments of generosity, would be very
sweet and adorable.
You nice child. We're really going
to get along beautifully, I can see
that
AS long as Myra had her own way
to her Sally was a tractable child,
easily led and quite inexperienced.
There were exciting times getting
visas, Sally coming in on the early
train with Tom and leaving him at
the subway. Sometimes she was reck-
less, and just because she was so ex-
cited she would take a taxi down to
Myra's. Sometimes Myra would be
just getting out of bed or she would
be in her bath and Sally would have
to wait.
Myra was always explicit about time
and yet she was rarely ready to keep
an appointment. But she was SO
sweet! Sally adored wandering out
into the bedroom and watching her
get ready for the day. She never
really minded because she had to wait.
And once Myra was dressed, very,
very smart. they would sally forth.
Myra would order a taxicab In
regal manner that Sally could never
manage. She would wave an imperi-
Gus hand and car would seem to
appear as If by magic. the driver al
ways very courteous, almost servile.
With Sally 1t was different. In the
first place she had to nerve herself up
to taking one. 1t was foolish
extravaganza. And in the second she
nearly always had to wait. She felt
a certain lack in herself at such times.
But then. of course, she really couldn't
be as wonderful as Myra, who was
used to such things.
Myra preferred taxis to having a
car in town. And as Sally always
agreed with her In everything. she
thought her Judgment perfect. She
did wish, however, that she possessed
one fourth Of Myra's confidence.

CHAPTER II.
Exciting DAYS.

Tom Bates was young, vigorous and
eager. and he loved Sally. He had
his own opinion of Myra, but for all
that she was Sally's sister and she
was right in saying that trip would
do Sally a great deal of good. Not
that he wanted her to be any different.
He adored her the way she was. They
had been married six years, and Sally
was %. Marjorie was 4.
When he had talked over the trip
with Sally he had stified his personal
feelings and had thought only of hers.
When she had looked at him with
that mistiness of dreams in her eyes,
talking shyly Of distant places, he had
said quickly:
'Of course you must go. I'm sorry
/ can't finance you. I wish 1T could be
that way; I'd be more comfortable.
But as for any other reason, that's
absurd. Marjorie loves being with
mother and I'll do very well right
here. And don't forget, dearest one,
some day we're going to take trip
together. just you and |. I'm sorry
that your first experience must be
without me. but next time We'll be to-
gether. I'll concentrate on that"
And SO Sally and Myra had gone
ahead with their plans.
Myra was thrilling, dynamic! 1t
was enough to think of going on the
trip, but going with Myra seemed to
make il more exciting than it really
was to Sally.
Myra would telephone from the city
and Sally would dash to the telephone
Her hand would shake as she held the
receiver to her ear.
SALLY Sometimes Myra's voice
would be sweet, sometimes filled with
Irritation, but it really didn't matter.
Sally understood, or thought she, did,
which was about the same thing.
"Everything's changed again. My
dear, we can't make connections. I'm
at my wits ends. I don't know what
TO do with these people. They ought
to know. their business. but apparently
they don't.

going to Clara with news which would
only increase the danger of her con-
dition?
Or what does she hope to gain ex-
cept unpleasant notoriety by going to
the police?
Her attitude Is either childish or
simply insincere. Either she's a fool
ish kid or self righteous little stick,
who secretly rejoices that she can
make trouble for a silly old man.
John may be the most harmless old
idiot in the world. whose ride with
Jane may have been solitary excep.
tion to his general good conduct. Or
he may be tiresome philanderer. But
In either case Jane has no right to
endanger her friends life by reporting
the news.
An elderly married man has fiirted
with Jane and she has put him in his
place. And that's that. She can't do
anything to help the situation.
Her cue is to sit tight and keep
still. Any gossip on her part will only
hurt Clara. Any legal action would
be downright wicked.
Mimi will be glad to answer any inquiries
directed to this paper, provided q slammed

II was on the ride home that Jane

damsel, who told him firmly that she

about that.
Apparently he made no row over
this announcement. just subsided into
sufky silence. but Jane was moved to
tears over the dreadful happening.
One can understand that perhaps
she was shocked over this infidelity
on the part of a man she had always
liked and admired. But no one can
understand why she should write to
me. imploring me to set her right as
10 the best course to follow.
She is either going to rush to Clara
with the awful news-or she consid-
ers going to the police and having this
dreadful creature arrested.

A.h.A. HITS AUTO
TAG Plan

The plan proposed recently by the
bureau Of efficiency for distributing
the Districts automobile registra.
ton tags was criticised severely by
the American Automobile Associa-
ton today in letter to District
Commissioner Proctor L. Dougherty.
The letter, signed by c. p. Clark,
assistant general manager Of the
association, characterized the plan
as entirely impractical" A memo
randum summarizing objections to
the plan was enclosed. It declared:
"A casual review Of the plan dis
closes the fact that the system has
been developed largely on theory
and would be impossible of practical
application. It is clearly evident
that the proponents of this plan
have not had sufficient experience
with the practical problems incident
to registration Of motor vehicles to
develop a system that would elimi.
nate all existing difficulties or, from
the standpoint of fraud, afford any
greater protection than at present. !"
Clark recommended that no major
changes be made In the registration
system in connection with the ap-
preaching annual registration. He
also recommended the enactment
OF practical certificate Of title law,
offering the aid OF the "A. a. AT.

COombs has reported to the Com
missi0ners that the plan il imprac-
teal, cumbersome and complicated
and would aggravate rather than
solve the distribution problem. His

pieces, pointing out that some Of the
suggestions are impossible and that
others have already been adopted in
