after the last war. “Cross-stream” selling is the sale by one manufacturer or wholesaler | to another with an extra profit added each time, thus resulting in excessive prices to the ultimate consumer, OPA’s new Jegulations. which are effective Aug. 23, permit resellers of government surplus who have customarily sold ‘cross-stream” to continue to do so, but only at markups permitted by the OPA. They must file statements with regional Fk OPA offices and may split markups with subsequent buyers only under certain conditions, The new order is intended to make it easier for resellers to determine ceiling prices of surplus goods by providing them with ceilings in dollar-and-cent terms or in a manner easy to calculate. OPA said the method of allowing: the use of fixed ceilings on “similar items” had proved unsatisfactory because so many surplus items are sold by the government at extreme. ly low prices.

LIST PATENTS
New Service Meets With) Industry’s Approval.
By Science Seivice WASHINGTON, July 24.. — The
U.S. patent office's newest service to the public, a register of patents available for licensing or sale, is arousing the interest of big: industry as well as small business, where
the liveliest response ‘was expected from the first. In the correspondence received during the first month's existence of the -register have been letters and personal inquiries from representatives of some of the largest manufacturing concefns in the country, They are concerned not only with finding patents suitable for their use, but also with offering patents of their own licensing to other producers.
300 Offered
Thus far, some 300 patents, held by about 200 inventors, have been offered for listing in ‘the register. Condensed, plain-English descrip=tions of a considerable number have already” appeared in print. Those still unpublished are available for inspection at the patent office here. Official red tape and long-winded legal jargon have been swept into the discard together, in the preparation of the new register. The| owner of the patent merely writes a letter, inclosing % copy of his patent | or giving its number and inclosing ten cents to pay for a copy. He also makes the statement that he is willing to sell or license his rights in
patent office shen publishes a terse, ione--or two-sentence description in {the register, giving the owner's ad-
jatess: Further negotiations are con-|
ducted directly between owner and prospective licensee or purchaser,
Have Mailing List
{ A mailing list is maintained, on which interested manufacturers may have their names entered on request. They will have marked coplies of the register mailed to them, calling attention to available patents in the particular class or category with which they are most concerned. A similar service tained for trade journals, which {publish the descriptions for the benefit of their clients. {~~ A few highlights from among. the | patents thus far listed: | Telephone lock, to prevent unauthorized use of telephone instru=v ments for outgoing calls, Compartmented cigaret package, from which empty cells are removed as cigarets are used. Pack dimintishes in size, but remaining cigarets are protected against squashing. Dictating machine vacuum cleanier, which sucks away wax dust from |eylinders and deposits it in a suitable receptacle. Mottled paint, consisting of drops of varicolored enamel immersed in liquid with which they will not mix. Spread by brush, they give mottled or streaked effect.
