Weights and Measures
 Hampered the Allies

San Francisco, July 28.-Congress- man Fiorello LaGuardia of New York, former major in the air service In charge of fliers on the Italian front, has thrown interesting light upon the difficulties faced by the United States in cooperating with It's allies in the world war. Major LaGuardia has telegraphed the World Trade club of San Francisco. an organization representing 500 leading manufacturing merchants, pledglng his support to the campaign that the organization is now waging for the world wide adoption of the metric system of weights and meas ures, now used by all the world ex- cept the United States and Britannia.
 In his wire Major LaGuardia points out, that the world war showed the imperative need of standardization of weights and meas ures. He advocates the metric sys- tenn.
 T still have unpleasant memories of the difficulty we experienced dur ing the war;" he writes, "of the loss of time, the confusion, owing to diff ferent systems of weights and meas ures used by various allies. We lost more time in translating specifica- tlons and more errors were caused on this account than by anything else."
 The World Trade club is receiving similar testimony from great many persons who had experience with the difficulty caused by our present weights during the war.

 Chicago Grain.
 Chicago, July 28.-Estimates that the corn crop had already been dam aged 25 percent by drought and heat and that the loss would be doubled by another week of such weather led to an excited advance today in the corn market. Prices closed strong, 1 7-8 to 6 1-88c net higher with Sep tember 197 3-8 to 197 1-2 and Decem- ber 172 to 172 1-2. Oats finished IS to 3-8c up and provisions at gains varying from ? 1-2 to 50c.
 December corn delivery, which was the most active one on the list, scared to the highest price yet this season, 172 1-2, rise of 6 IA to 3-8c com pared with Saturdays finished. But little reaction took place from these decidedly pessimistic as to Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Kansas and parts of Southern Iowa, South Dakota and NeDFaSkd. -i
 Oats reflected the strength of corn.
 Upturns in provisions came chiefly from the bulges in grain and from an- nouncement of liberal exports of lard and meats. Lower quota tions on hogs were virtually ignored.

 PRESIDENT STATES
(Continued from First Page)

The basic principle of the treaty, said MT. Wilson, was that the terri tory everywhere belongs to the peo- pie who live upon it. It was the la borious work of many minds, he add ed, and has very few compromises in it. following in general agrarian spe- cifcatlons
 Should it fail, he declared, it would be impossible to get together the ele- ments necessary to make a new settle ment. The United States either must take the treaty, he said. or play a lone hand in world affairs.
 If you're going to play lone hand,' said he, the hand that you play must have a weapon in it. And the weapon must be all the young men of the country and the business of the country must pay the piper''
 There was a spirit of unrest every where, he continued, and it was the province of the treaty to set up an in- dustrial democracy as we'll as a po- litical democracy. He continued that there were domestic questions to be settled in that connection because there could be no industrial democra- cy as long as monopolies existed
 He was interrupted by applause when he added:
 And we have not yet finished with the monopolies"
 Citing again the upheaval in Rus sia, the president asked if his hear CTS had not seen evidence of the spread of the unrest, It was the 'dread' of every statesman in Eu- rope, he said, and a propaganda was spreading it in the United States
 ''There are apostles of Lcnine in our midst" he said, 'and it means to be an apostle of darkness. Our business is to see that no minority, no matter how rich, no matter how poor shall get control of the United States
 The purification of political condi- tiOns never could be accomplished until the treaty was accepted and peace esta blished. Some men debat- ing the treaty, he added, seemed to think there was "leisure" but there should be no leisurely discussion of such an issue.

The town of Berlin will be a de- fendant in a suit brought against it by w. J. Ritchie for the cost of the groceries furnished to the families of the smallpox cases here several years ago. The case will be tried Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Berlin court before Judge George G. Gris- wold. MT. Ritchie has since gone bankrupt, but the trustees of the bankrupt estate are handling the case for MT. Ritchie, Mortimer H. Camp . of New Britain representing them. Willard I. filling, first selectman, will hande the case for the town
 This case is of long standng dating 'back several years ago. The groceries were furnished to the different fam flies at that time by MT. Ritchie, who actd under the O. K. of MT. Markham, who was the county health official at that time. One thing after another has prevented the case from coming before the court for definite settle ment and the session Monday after noon will probably see the case de- Cfded for all time.
