Patent Commissioner Kingsland
Leaves Colonel Title in St Louis
By Francis P. Douglas
Those who meet Lawrence C.
Kingsland, the new patent com
missioner, for the first time gener
ally address him as Mr. Kingsland
or Mr. Commis
sioner.
In St. Louis,
however, when
the commission
er walked down
Olive street
from his office
! he would be
i hailed once or
I twice in each
block by men
| who greeted him
as Col. Kings
i land. They
would be amor.&
the hundreds
i who served un- Mr- Kln*f»l*nd
der him in the 138th Infantry, St.
Louis’ National Guard regiment.
Col. Kingsland, who is 63, was
with the regiment for about 25 years.
Between his military activities and
his large patent law practice he
HiHnf. h Q vo mnnVi lima fAr AfVtat*
activities.
When it became known Casper
W. Ooms was planning to resign as
patent commissioner and return to
practice in Chicago, Col. Kingsland’s
fellow lawyers urged his appoint
ment to the post. They thought as
he did about the functions of pat
ents and the Patent Office and they
recognized his executive ability. The
National Guard regiment and its
Dig armory had demonstrated that.
Helped Keep Regiment Going.
“After the last war I was afraid
the peace wouldn't last,” Col. Kings
land said today. "Somebody had
to keep the regiment going and I
decided it was up to me to do my
part."
He had been active in Democratic
politics and had served as city com
mitteeman for the 28th ward, the
city’s “silk stocking” district. But
he withdrew from active political
work to give his time to the regi
ment. .. ,
The outfit then was housed in a
one-story frame building. Soon after
World War I, the city voted $87,
000,000 in bonds for city improve
ments. A sum for an aquarium at
the zoo was approved, but money
for a new armory was voted down.
“The people will vote money for
the fish, but not for us,” the per
sonnel of the regiment complained.
The armory project lay dormant
- ... I —
for several yeiys and then was
brought up again. Col. Kingsland
was then executive officer of the
regiment.
"I went out and talked to the
people the way I had learned to
talk in political meetings,” he re
called. Money for a new building
was voted and it was ultimately
erected. Col. Klngsland’s callers
there saw a. big, clean, orderly
building.
The regiment was called into
Federal service in 1940. Col. Kings
land led it to camp in Arkansas
for training. Later he was assigned
to other duties, and then he retired, j
Last winter he spent a couple of j
months in Manila advising the1
legislature of the Philippines on
drafting patent and trade mark
law. In recent days he has been
settling down to the job of being
patent commissioner. The main
task, he said, is whittling down the
big backlog of patent applications
which are awaiting action.
Mrs. Kingsland Closing Home.
Mrs. Kingsland will join her hus
band here in October. She is now
in St. Louis closing up the big
house which Col. Kingsland’s father
built in 1892 and moving possessions
to the farm which the colonel owns

near St. Louis and where he plans
to make his home later.
The Kingslands have two sons
and a daughter. Col. Klngsland
hoped Lawrence C. Klngsland, jr„
would be a patent attorney, but he
is a physician in Boston. The sec
ond son, Robert C. Kingsland, like
wise is a physician. He lives in St.
Louis. The daughter is Mrs. Chris
tian B. Peper, whose husband is a
lawyer. There are three children in
each family.
“Nine grandchildren,” Col. Kings
land smiled happily and added:
“I’m a patriarch."
No one else would use the term.
His lack of gray hair and his vigor
ous, stocky frame belie it.
