EARLY 11RADEMARXS, When First ITSed Were Without Protection. in Law., Tbe recognition of trademark e by Bnglish law inay be said to date only from the beginning of the nineteenth century, hut the use of trademarks was, of courae, of far earlier date. So far back as the reiga of James I. a certain clothier applied the mark of another clothier to his own interior another clothier to his own Inferior goods, but the reports of the lawsuit which ensued leave it doubtful wheth- er the action was hrought by the own- er of the mark oa- by an indignant customer, in winch latter Case it would simply be an ordinary action for fraud. In 1742 Lord Hardwicke deelared that "every particular trader lots some particular mark or stump." At the same time his lordship refused to grant the aaotectien' of the law to tbe "Great Mogul" stamp on cards, He was apparently under the im- pression that the legal recognition trademarks 'meant he creating of a new kind of monopoly, and he made up his mind tp obviate such possibil- ity. Lord Eldon, on the other hand, re- peatedly granted Injunctions to . re - strati one trader front fraudulently "rtassing off" his goods as those of another and Ileas helped to -lay is foundation on .evench the present trademark law"has been built up in successive, stagee,—London Stan- dard. 4 Wise mothers who know the vir- tues of Mother Graves' Worm Ex- terminator always leave it at hand, be- came it proves its value.

The recent "appeal made by the rtewly established republic of Ararat for recognition by the United States will be better understood, at least geo- raphically, when it is explained that the region in queetion is a province of Armenia. It takes ite name from the imam - tent on which the ark made a hold- ing after the flood—Ararat meaning Noithet mountain. The whole world, according to the Bible etory, was submergedsduring the period- of the Deluge and Ararat's top - meet peak was the firet dry land to appear above the waters. for the rslin- pie reason that it was the loftiest itt ArInenia, at all events. As viewed to -day it gives a notion of the depth of th0 flood, inasmuch as the peak its more than three milee above sea level. It Is rome-ehaped, and it slopes; for 9,000 feet front the top are covered with everlasting enow and great fields of glittering Ice.

Despite the opposition, diamond cut- ting has made steady headway in Bir- mingham. The new growth is all the more iuety for the diffictiltlei it has encountered and overcome.

IBIrining- ham Jewelers still look to the con- tinent for the vast bulk of the dia- monds they set, and will continue to do so.. In fact, it is not planned to make war on the diamond cutters of Holland and nelgiura, whose great prestige has been worthily won. But If Birmingham hands and brains are equal to the work there is no reasoa why this important branch of the Jewelers' art should be regarded as sacred to any invested rights, Those tho were concerned to defeat the endeavor to establish the Industry Itt Birmingham have inferred that a mean advantage has been taken of the occaelon -offered by the war, that under :the guise of suecoring the diamond cutters driven forth from Belgium an attempt was made treacle. erously to transpiant their industry. This is not :rue. Tb.e introduction of diamond cutting into Birmingham was, not prompted by the war. It preceded the war by some years and was already advancing steadily in 1914. A. factory specially designed for ate - mond cutting was erected on Beckley Hill, and boys from the local schools were learning the craft there under the direction of competent workers from abroad. The factory is of ferro- concrete, so constructed as to give the maximum risadity, as vibration is fatal in preficiency in diamond cutting. There is nothing e-ery elaborate about the plant. The lapping is done by means of electrically operated metal disks, which revolve rapidly on the bench at which the rapid:exist sits, ale will have for or lye stones in hand at once, Bach of them is held tight either in a mechanical holder or in 'a bed ef lead alloy prepared by an attendant boy and secured to a tool heavy enough to keep the diamond la position on the revolving table. The friction grinds the facets—usually SINCE 0 IRO 30 Mgt:COUGHS fifty-eight itt number—on the stone, the process being assisted by emery powder and olive oil. A preliminary operation -and one which is not so simple as ilooks is that of redueing the rough stones to a circular shape. This is done on the diamond cut diamond principleeWhile a; lathe gives a rapid motion to one stone another stone is held in contact with It and manipulated by an opera- tive till both are prop rly shaped. The boy who aspires to be a dia- mond cutter has to ented into inden- tures 02 apprenticeehip for seen years. He becomes a wage earner right away, aowever. As he pro- gresses hire -earnings increase, and there are youths not out of their apprenticeship earning as much as $19.46 and $21.90 a week. The experi- enced craftsman may earn anything up to $48.65. The expeelment of teaching diseharged and disabled sol- diers has been quite a success. The men are put on a. wage earning basis at once, though for the first twelve months the value of their work is practically eggligible. Thenceforward, however, an apt leareer will go ahead rapidly.
