OLD WEIGHTS AND MEAS
 URES WILL SOON DIS
 APPEAR IN GERMANY.

Associated Press Dispatch.
 Amsterdam, May 20- German housewives and tradespeople will shortly cease to use the dozen" as a member of the family weights and measures, It is the last surviving opponent of the metric system, which has now firmly established itself in Germany. Its official successor will be the 'tenth."
 The abolition of the dozen, it is pointed out, in certain sense marks the elimination of English influence in many lines of business, inasmuch as this measure hailed from across the channel. With the introduction of purchase certificates, which limit the number of articles which shoppers are permitted to acquire under war time restrictions, the habit of buying in lots of a dozen has practically ceased.
 When normal conditions in all lines of business have been restored the public will have to acquaint itself with the new unit. The gross, or twelve dozen, measure will also dis appear.

 MORE POSTCARDS WILL
 BE USED IN ENGLAND
Associated Press Dispatch.

Associated Press Dispatch.
 London, April 2.S-Until the new budget put wartax on mail, this country had been sending letters for penny-two American cents-for seventy-eight years. Not until 1870 was the postcard introduced. It has required half-penny stamp, now raised to penny, for inland delivery.
 Papers here express the belief that the increased postal charges will cause more postcards to be used. In announcing the increase of half a penny for letter postage, the chan cellor of the exchequer pointed out that the new rate had been fixed by all the big countries of the world.

WHAT MARIE ANTOINETTE

When one understands the French Ian

food one sees nothing absurd in the question
Marie Antoinctte was said to have asked
French pates were made and put into caisses
composed of -four and water which were
never eaten. but thrown away when the pate
was finished.
Marie Antoinette, who knew nothing of the
llte OF the starving peasant asked why they
did not eat the caisse (of the pate) IL they
had no bread WY
bad translation gave the word cake for
calsse, which made the question seem Mt
terly heartless at least; but there was moth
ing absurd In 1t. Every English person who
mas eaten pate de foie gras or pate de

Antoinette meant when she asked why that
winch she had always seen thrown away
should not be eaten by people who were with
out bread and starving.-Viscountes Dillon

A NEW FISCAL SYSTEM

To the Editor Of the Euenng Public LEDGER
Sir-The apparent downfall Of the Rus
sian Bolsheviki should not discourage those
many thousands of disnterested workers all
over the world who believe In a real human
brotherhood and are striving TO bring 1t
about.
But there is a fundamental fallacy In the
teachings of all Socialists which must be
wiped out II the Socialists are to make
success of any chance they may have in the
future. That fallacy is that the profits of
capital rob labor and are responsible for
low wages and poverty. Profits do not rob
labor! Labor is robbed by the price of land
and by a financial system which permits
corporations to issue unlimited capital secu-
rites and then TO pile on more debt in the
shape Of bonds and mortgages, the payment
for all Of which is promised in the future.
Nature does not allow perpetual debt
Nature demands a market where all the
products of labor and capital will sell for
cash Such market would necessitate every
corporation furnishing and maintaining its
own capital Such market would REQUIRE
the wages of labor to be high enough So
that labor could purchase it's share of cor
poration securities. as well as its share of
commodities.
Such market demands absolutely doing
away with the market for land, and the
single tax will not do that. That reform
must come from changing our financial sys-
TEN so that the wages OF labor will allow
labor to buy back all It produces, and at a
big profit. The land market--in normal
times especally--prevents employment OF
labor In building enterprises. and also nre.
vents what comparatively little building Is
done from selling in the market at a proa,
The contention OF single takers that nav
ing rent for Nand robs labor is as absurd = .
the Socialist contention that profits rob
labor.
There are only two things sold In the oner
market today--land and labor. Reform vn,,r

pERsHlNG is A GREAT LoGrCIAN

FIGHTING ANARCHISTS

FTNiIE Kaiser has at last managed to
i come face to face with Japan. A little
channel, as inconsequential as that which
divides England and France, separates
Siberia from the nearest island of Nippon
and If Siberia is to be German dominated
the japanese have right to know why
just as the English had a right to question
the German claim on Calais or as America
would dispute a German clam on Cuba
The Germans defend their presence in
Russia as necessary police measure to
combat anarchy. The Japanese have a
better reason for intrudng. They propose
to combat anarchy and Germans at the
same time,
