Patent infringement

Rogers on Patents says: Infringe
ment Is the unauthorized making, u.s.
ing, or selling for practical use, or for
profit, Of an invention covered by a
valid claim Of patent during the life
of the patent. 1t may involve anyone
or all of the acts Of making, using and
selling. 1t is therefore an infringe
ment for an unauthorized person to
make patented machine for use or
for sale, though in fact 1t is neither
used nor sold"

COYOTE TRAP
USED TO CATCH
CHICKEN THIEVES

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13. (U.H =
A coyote trap was credited by dep
uty sheriffs today as largely respon-
sible for the arrest of three men
alleged to have conducted a big
scale chicken theft ring in the Fon-
tana district for several months
Those under arrest are Robert B.
Edgar. 80; Ernest A. Knapton, %
and Albert Easterling, IS, all oil
Pomona. They were taken into
custody early today.
D. NJ. Dougherty of Covina recent
iy lost several hundred chickens and
set a steel jawed coyote trap in the
lot to prevent q recurrence. Last
Friday morning he discovered the
trap had been set off and bloody
handkerchief was found near the
door to the coop.
Laundry marks on the handker
chief led deputy sheriffs to the Po-
mona address and the place was
- o'staked out' for five nights.
The three men assertedly drove
into the yard early today with two
automobiles containing several hun.
dred fowls stolen from the Fontana
Acres ranch at Rialto.
Easterling, according to officers
confessed his part in the thefts ano
implicated the other two. Knapton
the officers said, suffered from an

Spectators have expressed them
selves as being OF the opinion that
the system of broadcasting race re-
suits and names of horses entered
in the races this year is much more
satisfactory than any other offered
in the valley for some time.

CITY STUDYING
BEST PLAN FOR
SEWER SYSTEM

Preliminary surveys on Ell Cen
tro S proposed four outlet sewer
! routes are complete, with only incl
dental data still to be gathered,
Phil knights, city engineer, an
nounced today.
Remaining work on the plans for
the sewer will include laying out
physical plans and estimates OF
costs on the various routes. When
cost for each route is estimated
said Knights, two or three of the
proposed routes will probably be ELI
minated.
After one route is finally adopted
for the outlet sewer the task of fl
nancing construction will face the
city council. This may be done by
a bond issue, he stated.
Knights estimated today that IL
will probably be year before actual
work is started on construction OF
the sewer. Before this work starts
he said, some of the more modern
sewer layouts in California will be
inspected by local representative.
One plan of interest to local resi-
dents, especially at this time, takes
in proposed storm drainage of e.
Centre together with sewer drain
age and sluicing of the mud from
city reservoirs. This would be done
through an open channel from tbs
northwest limits of FL Centre tc
New River.
The plan may not be practical
according to the city engineer, since
it would necessitate a great deal of
treatment of sewage before it could
flow through an open channel. This
would call for an extensive plant to
treat the sewage.

Repeal of the Wright Act, Califor-

and destruction of surplus vineyards
was recommended today by special
committee reporting on the grape
industry to the Federal Farm Board,
through the California Grape Con-
troll board.
More than So per cent of all CAL

amounts greater than present sale
values, and an average of $4,000
tons of grapes out of total annual
crop of 2.l54, 600 tons are marketed

ed
I'VE believe if the Wright act,
which in our opinion is not in har-
mony with the present interpreta-
ton of the federal enforcement act,
was repealed there would be AN an
nual market in California for up
wards of $4,000 additional tons Of
Juice grapes the committee said.
There is an annual average pro-
duction of 475,000 tons Of juice
grapes, of which $4,000 tons are sur
plus, the report claimed.
In advocating destruction of GER
tain vineyards. the committee said
it believed this would be 1.-The only
sound, permanent and economic
means to take care of this surplus. "
1t was recommended that growers
be paid S5 per acre, plus $40 each
fresh ton for proven average pro-
duction of that acreage in the last
four years. on. condition that the
grower will not re-plant his vine
