HEROINE DISPLAYS
ASINlNE SWEETNESS
Anne Douglas Sedgwick
Presents Curious But
Interesting Novel.

"Aarsenne Toner. by Anne DouR.
las sedgwfck. (HouEhton Mif.
ain Company
This Is a curious piece of work.
One starts out by hating 1t for the
asinine sweetness of the heroine.
And then one sees the working out
Of a novel idea: out of wicked
goodness (and the paradox is only
comprehensible to those who know
Adrienne Toner).
1t is the conclusion of the book
that impels the reader to quote by
reflex action Ibsen's clear-cut COM
ment. People don't do such
things"
Roger oidmeadow seemingly 10
the only member Of a group. most
ly family, with q couple of friends
added to make up the cast, who
understands Adrienne. The rest OF
the Chadwick family worships her
for her goodness, her sweetness.
her unselflessness and generosity.
And. of course. Roger underesti-
mates her. The novel is the story
Of the wreck Adrienne's ideas Of
freedom bring upon a very ordi-
nary English family. and the way.
after all. the problems work out
comparatively satisfactorily. and
Adrienne, after divorcing her hus-
band. marries Oldmeadow, who
finally comes to know her. and they
live happily ever after, or at least
SO one, is led to suppose.
Adrienne Is made a sanity person
even in her errors. and the average
reader will always dislike her. In
spite of the authors trying to fix her
up in the middle. the first impression
remains.
There are some interesting bits OF
characterization In ''Adrienne Toner.
some pungent observations, and some
very searching comment and philos-
ophy. But II is a book that may
be classed in the no-man's land of
popular literature: II moves too slow
ly for light fiction. and is too search
ing for the casual reader. Miss
Sedgwick (who Is Mrs. Basil dc
Selincourt) Is too trivial a writer
and psychologist to handle the char
acters and situations she creates ef-
fectively. There Is too much stain.
ing for effect, for phraseology. a GER
tain fruitless effort for directness
and the volume does not now
smoothly.
Altogether. II Is an interesting ex-
pertinent. but not altogether success
full as an interesting book.

BRITAIN DEVELOPS
NEW VOLUNTEER

With the gradual increasing of
transmitting voltages up to nearly
one-quarter million volts, It is in
teresting to note a new voltmetsr
developed in England for the meas
uring of high potentials. The new
voltrneter is based on the principle
employed by Lord Kelvin, and sub
seQuently developed by NJ. Abraham,
the eminent French Investigator. of
the attraction of two oppositely elec-
trified conductors protected by
guard plates. The instrument can
be built for measuring pressures
up to 100000 volts. The change
over from one range to- another is
Immediately effected by altering the
distance between the plates. An
important feature of these voltme-
ters is that air being used exclu-
sively as the di-electric. they give
Identical readings with direct cur
rent or alternating current of any
frequency. which Is not the case
with electrostatic volunteers de.

VALUE OF METRIC

Author Advocates Uni
versal Weight and
Measure Standards.

"World Metric standardisatton ;,
complied BY Aubrey Drury. (worId
Metric standardisatfen Counef.)
In the past few months. thanks to
radio. meter" has become a house,
hold word. During the war we
heard "censimeter" applied to this
gun and that; we got quite used to
that word also. But the men who
went to France got q better intro
duction to the metric system Of
weights and measures. and even the
machine shops and factories that
made overseas material had to use
the metric system and became quite
at home with. these simple units.
The sciences long ago Joined the
ranks Of the vast majority of tn.
world in using a system Of weights
and measures that need no con-
version tables. Z
Now there Is issued a book. "worid
Metric Standardization. an Urgent
ISSUE" which explains why the mo.
trio system should be adopted bv
the United States and the British
Empire. As its Introduction states
This book deals with an advanc.
which Is of immediate timely impor-
tance. 1t deals with the master
standards of the world, upon VIII
all the world Is rapidly standards
ing. These standards are the three
metric units-meter. liter, gram. L,
is urged that the units Of weights
and measures of the United States
of America, and of the British Com
monwealths. be brought into accord
with these invariable standards
This Is the true Standardization Of
standards.' for when this advance
is achieved In the. United States %
America and the British Common
wealths. all the world will be upon
the uniform metric basis"
The testimony Of truly amazing
array Of advocates of the metric
system have been assembled In this
book by Aubrey Drury. published by
the World Metric Standardization
Council. Manufacturers. merchants.
engineers. architects. scientists, doc
tors. Pharmacists. army and navy
officers. bankers, lawyers. cIergymen.
educators, authors. artists. editors and
high legislative officials are quoted
as favorable to the adoption Of the
system. Edison. Roosevelt, Pershing,
Carnegie. Hammond. Gompers are
only a few of them.
James Watt, called the worlds
greatest engineer. in addition to be-
ing the inventor OF the steam engine
and having the electric unit. the watt,
named after him. invented and intro
duced to the public the basic plan Of
the four world decimal units Of meas
urement, now known as the dollar,
meter. liter and gram. Watts ideal
system is now nearly achieved; only
his native people. the British and
the Americans, do not use II.
The reasons given for the adoption
OF the metric system are nearly as
numerous as the pages Of the book.
which Is quite frankly a summary
and argument for the gram-meter-
liter system. There Is a note OF warn
ing in two Passages in the book:
In the one year Of 1921 more hu-
mans went over to the metric units
for future transactions than now use
the diverse British units in all the
world! Japan and Russia In that year
confirmed their adoption of the deci-
NAL metric system
Lack of world metric Standardized
tion Is to the United States of
America a grave national peril"
