BUSINESS PICKUP
Office Says 10 Per Cent Ap-
pIication Increase Is
Good Barometer.

BY the Associated Press.
A tip to economists: Watch the
Patent ONCE for business trends.
Patent applications and grants are
up 10 per cent this year, and that
means, the patent people say, that
business Is at least 10 per cent i'm
proved.
Here is the reason: It costs $50 to
file an application and about $3.50 to
follow it through to a point where
q patent is issued. That's a lot of
money for even big corporation with
a highly trained research staff.
Looking Backward.
Take look at 1929 to 1888.
All applications for patents, trade
marks, designs, and so forth numbered
114,4e6 in 1929. In 1888 they totaled
79,409.
Patent people are so optimistic they
expect veritable food of applica-
tions any day. Big companies, the
radio people, the automobile leaders.
electrical manufacturers have been
holding of, but they haven't been idle
The patent men say they have a raft
of ideas to be patented just as soon as
things look better.
When that time comes. patents is
sued by the United States Govern
ment will shoot way over the 2,000,-
600 mark, far more than granted by
any other nation. The Patent Once is
pretty close to that figure now. having
issued 1,978,395 to date.
800 Patents Per Week.
At the rate the patents are going
out today-about 800 a week-the
two millionth patent will be issued In
six months or so.
The Government reaps good
profit. The Patent Office cleaned up
more than $50O,0O0 last year.
The lone inventor is still on the Job,
trying to perfect perpetual motion,
but he isn't very successful. The big
corporations have their scientific stats
working every day on everything
imaginable, even needles, and there
Is little left for the fellow with the
attic or basement workshop.
As a matter Of fact, the patent
people think lone, inventors generally
are wasting their time.

 Runyon, who knows the behind scenes Broadway of today. with it's grifters and gratis, its "molls" and it's "muggs," as few otker living writers, has written a- charming and delightful story, and producer B. P. Schulberg, with the aid Of Director Alexander Hall and a great cast of players has made a thrilling production of it; full Of laughs, tears and del1ghtful sur- prises.
 The picture tells how Menjou, embittered, friendless and stingy, Is forced to adopt little girl origin ally left with him as security for a bet. AS time goes on the curly headed little tot teaches him how to be tender and loving, stimulates him to win back his self-respect and honor.
 In a startling rapid-fire climax he sacrifices fortune to save the child from death and wins the love of Dorothy Dell, whom he had been worshipping at distance for years. -

 Cagney and O'Brien have the stellar roles of two virile jacktars who hate each other with intense fury, the more so because the for mer loves the latter's sister. Their feud is accompanied by rapid fire action to a smashing climax. Gloria Stuart furnishes the TO : mantle part while hilarious com

 Most old maids," Hugh ob- served, "could stand bit of winding up.''
 "Then you'll help me-"
 "Yes," said Hugh. And Lord help me! Good night.' It was very few weeks later and Spring was definitely in the air. Hugh faced Marcia across the little living room of her apartment again.
 Well, he sighed, "what's the latest report on the great lover?" There was a look of dreamy wistfulness in Marcia's eyes as she crossed to the French window, and opened it.
 "Ah-I see. There's a moon. Shall we step out on the veranda ?" Hugh insisted on calling it a yer anda-a tiny balcony that gave on little garden court. She closed the window behind them, shutting out the dim lamp-lit room and leaned against the railing drenched with milky moonlight that turned her hair almost black and made her eyes very wide and blue.

Good evening.

There's a new gang on the corner, A new Tom and Bill and Phil; Bless'd with the old sense of humor, And getting the much sought thrill. There's new gang on the corner, Trying to harmonize an old-time score Recalling memories of the older, Gang who sang in the days of yore. There's new gang on the corner, Who meet at the close of day; Never thinking of being a mourner, Of the gang who once held sway. There's new gang on the corner, But there will come time, When they will be missed like the former, Gang that once called mine.
