The Metric System

Efficiency is the slogan of modern America; efficiency
in business, in finance and in all the industrial pro-
fessional activities of the country bill is now under
consideration which will greatly simplify our national ac-
counting facites-a bill for the adoption of the metric
system.
The metric system is table of measurements based
upon the decimal scale. How much easier to make CAL
culatons basis Of 10, 100, 900 than uneven
and mixed numbers used in the American tables of meas
urements. AS the future promises immense trade with
European nations, most of which the metric meas
urements, it is of great Importance that should use
the same tables Of course, the passing this bill is
only the beginning To lot must become ac-
customed to the system. Although for the first
few years there will be many complications be

Loyalty to the President

There are many people who criticise the President
These people personally do like him. and they
see why, if they think he is unfit for Office every
should not agree with them.
They could be compared to group of children
When voting what game play three for game
and two for another If the good losers they
will agree with the choice of the majority and play with
out protesting But if they spoiled children, they
will refuse to play and go home They will have made
every uncomfortable and shown their own poor
sportsmanship.
There are grownup voters that behave exactly the
same way. They have lost and instead of keeping quiet
and eecting their candidate tie time they
continually talking of the Presidents mistakes They
cannot realize that the President fairly elected
the majority of the citizens that whether thew like
1T or not they ought to be loyal to him.
When foreign nation ridicules President, it is
very bad but when citizens of own country do so
IS 1ar worse. He is leader and should support
