These Are Ury Bogs
Contrary to popular opinion. •
cranberry “bog” is not wef, ex
cept when deliberately hooded as
protection against frost. At all oth
er times a “bog” is as dry as your
tront lawn. The name "bog” ap
parently comes from the fact that
cranberry plantations are built on
maple or cedar swamps that have
been cleared and drained.

Delaware led all other states in
the Union in patents per 10,000
population in 1945, although the
annual total there seldom exceeds
300 patents, according to statistics
assembled by National Patent Coun
cil. Delaware had one patent for
every 956 of its population in that
year, the last for which both popu
lation and patent totals are avail
able.
New York had the largest num
ber of patents during the year—
4,882—but was fifth in patents per
capita. It had one patent for every
2,577 of its population. Connecticut,
now in third place, long has had an
enviable record of invention.
Scientific American, in 1902, had
this to say about a single city in
Connecticut:
“New Britain holds the record for
inventiveness. Since the existence ]
of U.S. patent laws, 1,447 inven
tions have been patented by 344
New Britain citizens. For ten years,
one patent was granted annually for
every 367 residents of the town. At
the head of the list: Justus A. Trout,
who patented 121 inventions; |
George E. Adams, who patented 66;
Thomas E. Corscaden, who patented
51 devices, and Henry G. Voight,
who patented 44.”
National Patent Council included
all 48 states and the District of
Columbia in its statistical survey,
results of which are shown in this
chart.

FIGHT AGAINST
TUBERCULOSIS
The continued need for con
stant vigilance in the fight
against tuberculosis is shown
again in figures resulting from
the most recent tuberculin
tests made by the Nebraska
Tuberculosis Association here
in Omaha, according to Del
mar R. Serafy, executive sec
retary. Of 232 high school
freshmen tested at St. Joseph
and Notre Dam High Schools,
60 reacted positively. This in
dicates that 26 percent of the
freshmen should receive N-ray
to determine whether they
have tuberculosis, according
to Mrs. Minnie Schaefer, clin
c isupervisor, who conducted
the tests.
Mrs. Schaefer stated that an
nual tests are being given this
week at Boystown and Secred
Heart Convent, with the stu
dent nurses and the hospital
! staff of St. Catherine’s being!
[given thests later.
At Boystown. it has become
custom to tuberculin test all
new arrivals annually, and to
give all who react positively
immediate X-ray tests, accord
! ing to Mrs. Schaefer.
Oriental Rug Colors
The colors and forms of nature
nave been the inspiration of weav
ers of Oriental rugs through the
ages. Because of this the basic
colors and fundamental designs of
Oriental rugs have a fresh feeling
which, as one decorator points out,
imparts a touch of warmth and
hominess to modem interiors.
