STUDENTS LEARN

Shortage of "Pneumatics" Makes It Rather Profit
 able Line of Work

With 40,000 automobile tires to be pro- dUced during 1920 for 1,5Oo.Ooo new motor cars to be brought out and the 7,0OO, 900 already in operation, the demand for men skilled in tire care and repair is be- coming enormous.
 This field offers both interesting ana profitable employment as well as inde- pendence once the tire business has been established. To prepare young men eor this work some of the largest tire manu- lecturers have established schools where repair of tires is taught by experts.
 Tltat these schools are appreciated is in- dicated by the large attendance at the tir, rerair school conducted by the Miller Rubber Company<in Akron. This school ha5 grown so rapidly that it has been again necessary to extend it's size and equil ment. Tn two months seventy-five have graduated
 In this school the work is not confined to Miller tires. Every standard make Is brought in for repairs and all parts of these tires and their functions are care fully explained by the half dozen instruc- tors. Having learned the construction of the tires, the student is next taught how tc repair them. Thus the student makes immediate and practical use of his knowl- edge while it is still fresh in his mem ory. Where possible the cause of the damage and methods of preventing it are explaenid.
 Practically every type of machine krown to the tire repair or vulcanizing shop is used in the Miller school, so that when the student goes into business he

Federal Aid In Building
 HighWays To Be Changed
Vice President Marshall States That Several States May Expect Different System Any Future Ap-
 propriations for Road Making

ern senators generally are now inclined to oppose continuance in any substantial way, and growing number are for transferring the good roads work from the present unsatisfactory bureau plan to the dignity of a department which can function directly.
 ChairmAn George c. Diehl of the Amer ican Automobile Association good roads board, when he appeared before the Sen. ate committee thus emphasized the posi- ized motor car owners:
 The basis upon which must rest the whole structure of good roads through out the nation is a national system of highways constructed and maintained by a national highway commission al the expense of the nation There will in- eVtably follow state and county high way systems built and maintained by the states and counties respectively. These three systems fundamentally sound economically and will provide all the needed highways for complete national development
 "Inasmuch as two years will be re- quired to perfect a report on the national system, which, by the way, should include a carefully worked out plan for main- tenance. we would urge that the Town send bill be at once adopted so that the national highway commission can at once begin it's labors, as the present rising market of labor and materials should not be used as a pretext for delaying the necessary preliminary work incident to this most important national develop ment'

Washington. May 15-In connection with the hearings begun this week before the Senate postoffice and post roads com naittee on a goodly number of highway bills, the comments of Vice President Thomas R. Marshall at Hot Springs. Ark, just approved and released for publica- tion, are regarded as highly significant coming from the former governor of northern state. The address was deliv- cred at the big joint convention of the United States Good Roads Association and Bankhead Highway, held at the Ar kansas resort, and attended by several thousand delegates, mostly. of course from southern states. The Vice President O. the United States was the chief speak, CT of the gathering, and he thus made pointed reference to federal participation in highways improvement:
 While l feel that the general govern ment, by it's benefactions. to the several states. is usurping the functions and kill ing the initiative of the individual states l am quite convinced that the one good thing which it is doing in this way is the building of good roads. The federal gov ernment has the cleanest, finest, ablest, and most disinterested road engineers in the world It has, in my opinion, const- tutional authority to improve the post roads of the country. But the aid hereto fore given has been generously used in piecemeal by rich counties matching their dollars against the general governments dollars
 ''I am quite convinced that the congress sional sentiment is that the several states of this Union may as well make up their minds that if there is to be further fed eral appropriation on the fifty-ffty plan, it must be upon one of two bases: either that the general government shall have exclusive control of all the funds or that the general government will adopt a great trunk system and will construct that system in a state only when the state has contracted to construct an equal mileage of laterals of like character and durability"
 That any future federal appropriations in connection with highways will be &C., companied by quite definite federal insist ence as to where and how the money shall be expended in the several states. has been made quite clear during the past weeks hearings before the senate com mittee
 While Senator Charles E. Townsend, sponsor of what is probably the measure commanding the greatest country-wide concern, as it calls for a national system in charge of federal commission. other bills by Senator Phpps of Colorado, Sem ator Chamberlin of Oregon and Senator Sheppard of Texas are certain to receive careful scrutiny,

METRIC SYSTEM cHAMPIoNED

y. p. Claxton, commissioner of edu-
cation in the department of the in
terror, declared recently that the
adoption of the metric units as the
exclusive legal standard Of measure
ment will relieve our schools of the
burdensome task of teaching the I'M
related denominate numbers which
now consumes SO much time of the
children, and it will facilitate com
mercial calculations"
Commissioner Claxton says further:
The rapid increase of scientific in
v~estigation and industrial investiga-
ton of worldwide interest, the eXpan-
sion of international commerce and
the %unification Of the interests of the
peoples of the world through increased
facilities of communication make nee
essary the general adoption of some
n single scientific system of meas
urement. The metric system. already
used in scientific writings in all coun-
tries, and adopted as the one stand
w Va iI'upulS ill'lllN III al IldJOllil VI
the countries Of the world, meets all
the requirements of a perfect system
Of measurement and will no doubt be
adopted oOner or later in all the
countries.
81 should like to see all schools and
colleges in America unite in an advo-
cacy Of early adoption of the metric
system as our single standard of
weights and measures"
The Importance of the adoption of
the metric system by the United
States has been accentuated by the
experience of the world war and the
present need of extending the inter.
national commerce of the United
Legislators and officials have
also become alive to the increased
efficiency in manufacture and produc-
ton that would be made possible by
the adoption of the simple decimal sys-
TEN of weights and measures.
