Mnemonic for Grams

Scientific papers are getting to use
the metric system of weights and
measures more and more, and 1t has
become almost necessary for every one
to be able to convert such terms as
grams into ounces at once. 1t is not
however, easy to remember that there
are 28.3o grams in an ounce. How.
ever, If one remembers the sentence
1T converts one ounce" the figures
will instantly recur to the mind. For

gives 2-9-3-5.
Mnemonics for other terms of the
metric system are needed.

cities had had greater opportunities for

duties of the United States is to see
that they are properly prepared. and
the Brattleboro high school has shown
evidence of character and influence in
athletics
After referring to the delay in Sc
curing the cup Professor Donahue made
the presentation to Captain Daniel
Manning of the high school athletic
team, who accepted it in behalf of
Captain Allen Davis, who was captain
of the winning team and who graduated

Manning made fitting remarks of ac-
ceptance and then in behalf or Captain

Judge Howe's Justice
(Swanton Currier)

Judge Howe recently meted out a
neat little sentence of a year and a
day at Atlanta to man in Rouses
Point found guilty Of smuggling Ca
madam booze into this free and dry
country
The judge whose perspective is the
trucst and who has always insisted
on justice alike for the lowly and the
powerful in his court, simply said, in
explanation of the sentence, that the
law was placed upon the statute
books to be enforced
Judge Howe is correct The law
must be upheld, and it would be alb
surd mockcry to let off such law
breakers with mere fine that would
simply nip their profits on a couple
OF loads of Seagram. On a deal that
means several thousand dollars, what
does the offender care about paltry
fine of $500 or $1,000.
You may call it a bum law P.ob-
ably it, is, we won't argue that point
But it's on the book Of statutes and
it's there to stay. Judge Howe does
his plain duty in seeing that it is CT
forced.
