Peculiar Patents
Could you get a patent on an
alarm clock that squirts cold
water clown a sleeper's neck? A
man in Chicago did.
Wh:it about a balloon drawn
through the sky by c;\gles? Or a
stickpin made of candy, to be
eaten after use? Or an automatic
hat tipper for kizy gentlemen?
These, too. all won patents.
To the inventor's neighbors,
such ideas might seem pretty
silly. And our patent law does
say that, for an idea to be patent-
able, it must be "useful."
However, in deciding what is
useful, the law is very tolerant
tr
OfRCE
indeed I he i.ivv remembers (even
if the neighbor's don't) that
people I.inched too .it Alexander
(ii.ih.nn Hell's first telephone and
at ihe Wrighl brothers' first air-
plane
line, you cannot get a patent
on something that has no use at
all lor example, an inventor
claiming to have created a "per-
petual motion machine" was
turned down on this ground. The
titling pointed out that the ma-
chine could not possibly work,
bee iuse it was contrary to the
laws of nature
Nor can you patent a device
which is useful only to do evil,
I hus. a court rejected a patent
for a method of faking the ap-
pearance of tobacco leaves for
the purpose of making them look
better than they really were
I he judge said:
"i oneress did not intend to
evtend protection to (inventions)
which confer no other benefit
upon the public than the oppor-
tunity of profiting by deception
and fraud The invention must
be capable of some beneficial uso
as distinguished from a perni-
cious use."
Hut for most inventors, the test
of usefulness can he passed with-
out too much trouble. The law
generally takes the same opti-
mistic attitude that Benjamin
franklin once took when he was
asked:
"What is the use of (his new
invention?"
Franklin's reply was:
'What is the use of a new-
born child?"

WASHINGTON. Congress-
man Graham Purcell (D-Tex)
has mailed his July news-
letter to the 13th Congerssion-
al District. One of the High-
lights of Purcell's most re-
cent newsletter is a tempor-
ary list of census figures from
the U. S. Department of Com*
merce.
Purcell, who has been at
leader in the postal reform
issue, touched on the recent
skirmish over the so-called
"compulsory unionism" pro-
vision of the postal reform
bill. Although the right-to-
work amendment which Pur-
cell co-sponsored was passed
by the House, Purcell ex-
pressed concern for the pro-
vision.

said. While the Purcell news-

Fishermen are odd fellows!
And, for a bit of play on
words a lot of Odd Fellows
are fishermen. But, anglers
are not "nuts" by a long shot.
They're pretty sharp cookies.
(And I don't mean ROOK-
IES.)
Fishing is a participating
sport. It's like golf in that
respect. Also, there are golf
tournaments—and there are
fishing tournaments, but, just
about here the similarity
ends.
Fishermen are a mixed
breed. There are thousands
and thousands of them and
many, many different types,
with widely differing occupa-
tions.
Really, if there is a similar-
ity to any other sport it is
a comparison of fishing and
hunting. Like hunters, ang-
lers ar«> out to find their prey
, . . . and in both these relat-
ed games the targets are
many. Hunters shoot rabbits;
fishermen hook perch. Hunt-
ers shoot quail; fishermen
take crappie. Hunters go af-
ter the raccoon; fishermen
seek the bass.
There's a never-ending
comparison .... one sport
against the other. Rods and
reels versus guns; ammo vs
lures.
But here is one big differ-
ence: LURES vary widely
from area to area, from
manufacturer to manufactur-
er. There are thousands of
different lures .... ranging
from live bait ... such an
worms, minnows, shrimp and
what have you .... to hund-
reds of different artificials
.... including plastic worms,
jigs, spinners, divers, float-
ers—plus numerous shapes
and many different brands of
top-waters.
That's where the angler is
in a class by himself.
Perhaps that's why the
fisherman's prime interest is
not only in what you caught,
but how you took it and the
brand name of the product
that got the job done.
Some publications hesitate
to mention the makers' names.
That's free advertising, they
say. And, right they are! But
the media that gives the
names gets the readers, and
often the tie-in advertisers.
Readership is a coveted
thing with all publications.
That's why you so often read
in the newspaper the name of
the product that succeeded in
tempting a fish to strike.
That's why we encourage
publication of the name of
the lure.
There is very little differ-
ence between one golf ball
and another, but there's a
great big difference in lures.
That's why the press doesn't
mention the brand of golf ball
used .... while it does tell
what kind, if not what speci-
fic type and even the brand-
name of lure that tempted
the lunkers. Fishermen want
to know this. They will call
the media to find iut. If not
available there they will call
the tackle stores.
There are literally millions
of products concocted for
fishermen—and by fishermen.
'Tis said that anglers are the
most inventive of all sports-
men. Every fisherman has a
good idea, all his own—his
own special way to tie-on a
lure, a Bhort-cut to re-spool-
ing the line, a stringer idea,
etc. That's why you find so
many different rods and reels
and tempting baits, as well as
all conceivable makes and
styles of tackle, rigs and gad-
gets for the angler.
Drop into your local tackle
shop And browse around.
You'll discover much to tempt
the purse and always some-
thins: new and entirely differ-
ent.
A looksee at the local tack-^fc
le store will demonstrate to
you why women like to shop
for new clothes. That's the
woman's lure for men. That's
how they catch and keep
their mates.
Don't fight it, man, encour-
age it!
