Between 1930 and 1943 patent applications went down about AaV at the Patent Office in Washington. To be very technical, j the drop was 54% per 100,000 of the country's population. If the total number of patents applied for annu ally had varied a great deal in for mer years, this would not be so sur prising, but It bad ??<. From 1900 to 1930 our number of patents Increased each year, about like the population grew. Many people played at being Inventors. Some original gadget to make liv ing easier could be found in process of development at nearly any way side wagon shop. Many a house wife cherished what she hoped was a secret recipe. Boys and girls dreamed of wealth from something they might "think up." All to the Good Only few of these formulas or mechanical devices ever reached the Patent Office, but the youngsters who worked with them gained val uable knowledge. And out of this wave of creative energy came use ful things. Patent applications reached an all-time high between 1923 and 1930, and (population con sidered) patents actually granted broke a SO-year record, only a few months later. Invention is the spark of creative thought It was during America's era of invention (hat the people of the United States rose up industri ally and climbed to the top of the world, in wealth, to education, in health and in living standards. In ventions increase employment boost wages end toorten working hours. Inventions create infinitely more jobs then they destroy. Histories! Sketch F. 6. Richty of Cleveland, Ohio, one at the nation's distinguished patent attorneys, informed ma re cently that the history of Invention divides naturally into four periods: (1) Before the 17th Century when there were no patent laws and taw inventions; (2) The 17th end 18th Centuries with popr patent tows poorly administered; (3) From ear ly in the 19th Century to 1933, and (4) since. America's era of Invention cov ered more than a century back of 1933, a period with Ben Franklin at one end and Thomas Edison at the other, in which Chief Justice John Marshall stood out for fair use of the patent system. Those were the years whan inventions and their sci entific development were profitable to men of intellect?schools of en gineering and chemistry flourished. Spoil of Hostility The Latin who called Necessity the mother of Invention was wrong. Necessity makes people improvise; Invention springs from love of achievement and hope of reward for good ideas. Among Europeans, the Swiss have the most freedom and lead to inventions. The Chi nese, having no hope of reward, invent little. In America, our Pat ent Office safeguarded the reward to the 19th Century. In the last dozen years, however, the U. S. patent system has been the target of much verbal attack. Hold ers of patents are pointed at as if they had stolan something. More over the rewards, that come (by nature suddenly) to inventors, are twisted from them by ta vet ton. What la the result? Inventors are not inventing. Must America's cre ative spark be quenched, or may her inventor* be rewarded! t * High Average This la the season for taking stock. America has oonchaded a global war. Perhaps it Is not quite fair to say the Americans won it, but, at toast, they put a stop to it, which was tha important thing. Coo pering herons era coming homa by fiiploads and replacement* are go ing forth to stand guard over the peaea they have bought so bravely at soda fearful cost. Success la battle consists of get ting there flrst with the most. Tide proverb has been attributed to more than on* military hero but it prob ably originated with that pictor esqua cavalry general of tha Ctofl War, Nathan B. Forrest. At any rate. It is still true. This war was old when America got to it, but each individual cooqtaast proved the old formula sound.

Tt?maj Department h before Pearl Harbor. Only Amer ica had what it took. But what ie thia rare and magic quality? The answer is easy: It is aearepe matntu. An outstanding genius here and there does not make a competent race. Such men art useful but they are not the peo ple. A young man to whom I band ed a diploma in June, IMS, reported proudly in August that ha had been oca of 6,500 obscure chemists who helped develop the atomie bomb. The Heme Front Where, but in America, is it pos sible to And 6,900 obscure chemists? Chemists of his skill and training are worthy of distinction in some countries, but in America they en gage in volume production. They work on what amount to assembly lines. And the result brings a war weary world a breath of relief from starvation and suffering and sorrow. The exceptional "average great nesa" found in America is the rare quality which must not be sacri ficed. If we keep it, this country need never come under the heel of a foreign enemy or a home-grown i despot. But if we keep it our peo ple must know what it is and how it is obtained. Without further ado, average greatness is a product of the kind of liberty America enjoys. Oar No. 1 Resource The average American soldier is not a great general but he possesses generalship, a human trait apart from rank. From youth he has known his right to own anything he could get honestly, his right to hold any office to which he could bo elected, his right to compete. Where competition is not open, learning is lavished on the few and mediocrity paralyzes progress. I have said this before, but it will bear repeating: The much ma ligned American system has made this nation great, prosperous, en lightened and resourceful, able to do big jobs in a hiyry, get there first with the most and turn defeat into victory. Economic independence : and personal self-reliance are pil lars of education. America's most j valuable resource is resourceful ness. | WORRIERS GET ARTHRITIS SATS PHYSICIAN Medical be'ief that the emotions are at the root cause of thlr crippling scrouge is explained by a noted physt clan-writer.

After (he usual amenities were passed the lamed surgeon Inquired: "Whatever happened to your little polio patient?" "There were five more cases . . . worse than the first one," the young nurse replied, "but all six are re covered now." ^ "That's fine," the doctor said. "How badly are they deformed?" Miss Kenny smiled. "Why, they are not crippled at all." she said proudly. "They are entirely normal." Demonstrates Treatment While Miss Kenny described her treatment, the surgeon listened un believingly. Finally he seized her arm and escorted her into the hos pital. He took her to the bedside of I a small boy whose legs were en. eased In splints, his face contort ?d ft ptin. Dr. McDonnell said: 1 "This child fust came In. You take complete charge. Now show me Just bow you treated your patients."
