The Metric System

The Metric Fallacy is the title of volume by Frederick A Halsey. commissioner Of the American Institute Weights and Measures. which has just to hand. This is the second edition of the work The rewritten volume is intended combat the of the advocates of the metric that demanded by interest in the export trade. Questionnares by Institute many and firms and individuals doing business with for eign countries brought the fact that a system would compcate rather than simplify matters. Many of these firms and persons said that they had form favored the metric system their opinions have been revised and that any changes in the sys of countries inter trading would only create confusion.
 There really other country than France which has pure metric system. All the South and Central American countries employ the metric sys tenn in part but they have other weights and mea They have also become used the English system and have adjusted il both their and the metric systems
 The chief difficulty in the adoption of the metric is the psychological dfficulty-that learning visualise in units It would be necessary unlearn all that has been learned with difficulty
 A decimal system. because of its simplicity is always attractive but it does not appeal practical who realize hat from change of the present. This confusion would be the greatest, not in commerce but in engineering

Where The People
 May Have a Hearing
Statement by Highway Commission
Phoenix. Arizona, Jan. ,, 1920

Phoenix, Arizona, Jan. ,, 1920
 Editor, Arizona Republicans:
 Dear sir: Referring to statement in your Sunday morning issue, that the various specifications adopted for highways in Maricopa county, were adopted only for the purpose of creat- ing competition among bidders for the work, we vigorously deny the truth and justice of the statement by your paper. To not do so would be admit ting that the highway commission is deliberately trifling with business and businessmen. in adopting specified tions for highways for no other pur- pose than to induce well-meaning contractors to come to our city at great expense. spending their valuable time. in making investisations of the road progress and location of material for such construction To do this would be, on the part of the commission. most dishonorable and unbusinesslike proceeding The whole statement is for no other purpose, in our judgment. than to mislead the public as to the intentions of the highway commission. as it is a well known fact that the state engineer has sought and received federal aid on earth graded roads in various sections of the state.
 Further the highway commission has adopted no such specification as loose rock base" which anyone fla miliar with road specifications can de- termine by reading the specification itself. which provides for filled crushed rock base. compressed by rolling from eight to six inches thick before laying the surfcce. For sour
