The rained ingen uity cf the Connecticut Yankee holds as good today as when Mark Twain first immortalized it in a book read the world over. Recent reports from the Bureau of Patents indicate that for both 1930 and 1931 Connecti cut led the country in the number of patents granted per capita popu lation. In 1931 the New England State was credited with 1454 patents anVl designs or a proportion of one to every 1105 American citizens resid ing in the State; New Jersey was second with one patent or design to every 1234 citizens; Illinois, third. one to each 14 9G; New York fourth, one to each 1507 persons, and Cali fornia fifth, with one for each 1571. In 1920 the order was somewhat different, but Connecticut held the lead with one to each 1C23, and New Jersey second with one to each 141G. The District of Columbia was third, Rhode fifth. Island fourth and Illinois i :ie ngures made puunc oy mt. Thomas E. Robertson, commissioner of the bureau of patents, shows a totally different lineup of states when totals of patents and designs are considered. On this basis citizens of New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and California received 25.5SG, or more than half of the total of 47, 799 patents and designs granted. 'New ioiK led with bJjo. Illinois came second with 5100, Pennsylvania third with -3357, Ohio fourth with 4160. and California fifth with CG14. Tlie.-p figures, according to Mr. Robert.-on, indicate that the bull: of the patents gre granted to persons living in th intiti.-itrial centers. The apparent exception to this m the relatively large number of patents and designs granted to citizens of California. i-omo persons explain this Ly the varied nature of Cali fornia's industrial life, and by the fact that many persons formerly en gaged in industrial and technical positions sr-imd a largo portion ot their time California. ; In tho agricultural states. North Carolina citizens were granted pat ents or designs in 1931 in the ratio of one to each 1S.S71 persons; Ar kansas Lad one for each 25,757; Mis sissippi had one for each 3,497 per son.:, and Alaska one for each 19, 759 citizens. In 1931 tlure were 47,799 patents and designs granted American citi zens in the United States. This is one fcr every 2595 persons. In the previous year 41.S51 patents and de- sisrns were granted, or one for each 2934. In 1921 there were 39.1S7 granted throughout the United States, or one for each COOS persons. The number of patents alone grant ed in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1932. was 52,572. the largest num ber ever granted in a single year. MILLS HEADS SHEINEKS San Francisco.
