This is especially true of the

This change may have a very
important effect on the future
plans of the Administration be-
cause of it's connection with the
legislative policy.
Just ho1D conservative the
suing 1Uill be, none can tell at
the moment but Administration
leaders are matching it 1Dith an
eagle eye.
In a lengthy discussion of
the American naval policy,
Senator William H. King CD
of Utah protested against ship
construction by the United
States.
He said:
eff every ship we have were
abandoned, put out of COM
mission-and do not advO-
cate that-and if every soldier
we have were returned to his
home, we should be absolutely
safe from all other countries.
"The moral prestige we have,
to say nothing Of our physical
power and our great resources,
unlimited and unchallenged and
interchangeable, gives to the
United States a paramountcy
and a prominence over any
and all nations so that we
should be free from mOlesta-
ton under any conditions and
under any circumstances; and
if all the navies of the world
were to mobilize against the
United States, their efforts
would be futile"
Such an opinion from the

Utah is nothing new.
Since he first came to the
Capitol he has urged moUeS

two years for the granting of a
patent, and about Sc out of each
100 applications are honored
with the II years of exclusive
rights to the product.
On the inventor rests the
heavy burden of not only being
scientifically accurate, but of
having his invention legally Wa
tertight.
Books could be written, and
perhaps some have been, on
the oddities for which patents
have been granted. One man
took out the rights to an air
machine. propelled by condors
and eagles. Another has the
exclusive permission to have a
bell on his grave, from which
an electric wire leads into his
coffin. All he has to do is
push a button and give the
alarm if, by any chance he
should be buried by accident.
There are fewer of these &C.
centricitieS and fewer trivial
ties nowadays, due to a ruling
of the Supreme Court, which
says:
"It is never the object of
these laws to grant a monopoly
for every trifling device, every
shadow of an idea, which would
naturally and spontaneously &C.
cur to any skilled mechanic or
operator in the ordinary course
of manufacture"
Of late years, patents have
been extended to cover plants
and fruits. All told, AZ have
been issued in this category, the
last going recently to Donald S.
Byers, a horticulturist, for a
new variety of peach tree which
is held to be immune to drought
and cold.
You cannot get patent for a
perpetual motion machine in
the United States. Garabed T.
Giragossian tried for years, and
Congress once passed a bill,
which woodrow vetoed, to make
the grant. Another measure in
behalf of his invention is pend
ing. But England will and does
give a man the right to produce
perpetual motion-if he can.

both, are the lot Of the success

cent of the cases, which is a
pretty high percentage. 1t is
difficult for the average person
to think of anything practical
which has not already been
touched on by the mind Of man
and for which the rights are
not duly on file in Washington.
Yet Roger Babson furnished
a list of 100 things which this
world needs, anyone Of which
will bring millions to the orig
inator. And Charles F. Ket-
tering, one Of our most noted
and prolific inventors, says that
we have hardly scratched the

U. S. Inventors Set Pace

" D. inventors DeL race
That genius of invention,
which has marked Americans
since the birth of the republic,
appears to be at it's floodtide.
In the last quarter of century,
more than one million patents
have been granted in the
United States, a total which ex-
ceeds by many thousands all
that have been issued in the en-
tire history of France, the coun-
try which is a runner-up to
ours.
About one in every 5000
Americans has his new contriv-
ance to offer to an expectant
world each year. 1t may be
only non-skid soap or a double
action bar, or a device for sign
ing camera films, two of the
more recent inventions which
made millions for the minds
which conceived them.
The cotton gin, the steam
boat, the sewing machine, the
reaper, the telegraph, the tele-
phone, the photograph, the
electric light, the airplane and
the vacuum tube for radio are
high spots in the record of
American inventions. Out of
the tool chests, workshops and
laboratories these have come,
with hundreds of thousands of
others to make over the world
and create the age of the ma
chine.
FIRST PATENT
The pioneering spirit of early
America was not confined solely
to colonizing the wildernesses.
That was only the beginning. In
the old world, nations were
gathered together in compact
geographical units. Human labor
was cheap. Transportation was
adequate enough. War was
constant.
Out here man was on his own,
a rugged individualist mothered
by stern necessity. When ne
couldn't have human beings to
help, he set about to build labor
saving devices and gadgetS.
AS far back as 1641, the first
patent was issued in the new
world by the General Council
of Massachusetts, to Samuel
Winslow for a novel method OF
making salt. The first in the
United States, signed by George
washington as President,
Thomas jefferson as Secretary
of State and Edmund Randolph
as Attorney General, was OBJ
tanned in 1889 by one Samuel
Hopkins, who had worked out a
method for making I've.
Between 1885 and 1911 one
million patents were issued
under the present Federal sys-
tenn of grants. That was thu
golden age, the century of Morsc
Edison, Howe, Mccormick an
the Wrights. Today a force OF
1900 clerks and examiners are
employed in the patent bureau,

The phenomenon came to
be named skip Distance" be-
cause the waves from Hart
ford skipped" over New York.
Radio waves are like light
waves, except that, from crest
to crest, they are millions of
times longer. Both radiate
only in straight lines. We
cannot see around a curve,
much less around a complete
circle.
Even in the early days Mar
conf knew this. When he
achieved long distance commu-
nication, it must have stag
gered him to find his straight

the earth's curvature.
No matter how they went,
the signals we're dependent
primarily on the power of the
transmitter and the sensitiv-
ity of the receiver.
When he and others received
signals from the opposite side
of the earth, they sought
some explanation for waves
that would follow around half
a circle!
LIGHT WAVES
All wave lengths of visible
light reflect from a mirror.
This is because the quicksil-
yer is a metal and a conduc-
tor of electricity; and when
light strikes it. electrons are
knocked loose from the quick
silver atoms.
These loosened electrons
have a motion which is not
yet understood. But it is
known that the motion is one
which reflects visible light
waves.
Atmosphere acts like quick
silver, and becomes a conduc-
