ROADS ARE
-. READY TO
BUCK SNOW
Every Effort Will Be Made
to Keep the Lines
Clear

Grand Forks, n. d., Dec. 2S.-With
the prophecy of the weather man that
this portion of the northwest can ex-
pect snow and continued cold weather,
with a probability of heavy winds, the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railroads are completing arrange
ments for combating any situation
that may arise.
According ito Chief Dispatcher Wet
more of the Great Northern today,
the Dakota divisions battery of snow
hghting equipment is ready for any
call that may be made upon it. So
Tar, little demand has been made
upon this branch of the service, de-
spite the recent heavy snow. Yester-
day a snow plow was requisitioned
for service on the Hannah line, where
heavy winds had piled up large banks
OF the beautiful" Today the line is
cleared for service throughout, and
no difficulty at present is anticipated.
The main line is reported free of diff
ficulty, though the continued cold
weather has had the effect of slowing
no schedules. Extra help has been
engaged in an effort to keep trains
running as nearly as possible on
schedule time. A crew Of yardmen,
with teams, have been busy today,
freeing the yards and switches of
their accommodations of drifted snow.
The Dakota divisions battery Of
snow plows is lined up in the yards
for instant service in case of a high
wind, which it is feared would close
up many places along the line where
the topography is such that huge
drifts can accumulate.

New York, Dec. 2S.--Adoption of the
metric system of weights and meas
ures for commercial use in the United
States and also of the daylight saw
ing" plan was advocated by speakers
in different sections Of the convention
of the American Association Tor
Advancement of Science.
An unusual opportunity is afforde>
at present to make the metric system
the American as well as the interna-
tional language Of congress, asserted
George w. Kunz, president of the
New York Academy Of Science.
"For the effective development OF
our trade" he said, lit is most urgent
that all foreign catalogs and pubilca-
tions issued by our manufacturers
should have all dimension expressed
in metric as well as in English terms
of weights and measures"
The demand for war materials, he
added, had forced the introduction OF
the metric system in many factories.
A permanent organization to urge
the adoption of the metric system was
s,,rpested by Henry v. Army of Mont
clair. N. j., professor of chemistry in
the College of Pharmacy at Columbia
university. -

MANY southern negro tales and legends
