OF METRIC SYSTEM
IMPOSSIBLE, AUTHORITY SAY

To the Editor of The Star:
1 have Just read the letter from Mr..
Russell in regard to metric weights
and measures which appeared In The
Washington Star on May 2S. The
new alternative to the metric system,
which Mr.. Russell suggests. would
be interesting If 1t were possible. He
obviously has high ideals and would
like to see simple system of weights
and measures the units OF which are
conveniently related to each other.
He apparently does not yet see that
all this is provided in the metric
system.
Mr.. Russell has been misinformed
in regard to the following points:
% Mr.. w. L. Peters, secretary OF
tho Columbia section Of the American
Metric Association, has never received
compensation IN any shape or form
for the interest he has taken and the
work he has done in behalf of the
metric movement. This is also true
OF other members of this and other
sections OF our association. One of
the pleasures of working in the metric
movement is that practically all the
work Is done by volunteers. With
the exception of the work in the New
York and Washington offices Of our
association, all the work is done by
volunteers. The work in these two
offices is supported by national asso-
Citations. tirps and individuals. Our

10000 Signed Petitions:
(2) Mr.. Russell depreciates the 1o3,-
600 separate signed petitions reported
by Secretary Herbert Hoover as being
on file In the Department Of Com
merce. We will be glad to supply
partial lists OF these men. We are
proud Of the mentality and accom-
plishments of our members and others
who have signed these petitions. Such
q list of separate petitions is. as far
as we know. unique in the long list
Of petitions that have been from time
to time presented to Congress.

copy of book Of 524 pages called

is most interesting and instructive.
The illustrations. facts and quotations
show that the metric system, for
(which compulsory laws have been
passed In forty-six different nations,
Is rapidly gaining here.

on to study the situation in Ottawa.

inspecting the fundamental standards
for Canada: and. as had previously
seen in London. England, the govern
ment was using and depending on the
prototype metric standards based on
the international standards held by
the international bureau of weights
and measures. Mr.. Russell is in error
to regard metric weights and meas
ures in any other way than as an in

financial director of the league of ma
tions in giving Ottawan's an account
Of the leagues work. He said the
leagues greatest handicap was that
it was not universal. for while fifty
nations belonged to it. ten did not.
and the latter included the United
States. Germany and Russia.
Relative to his reference to the
United States. he did not mean that
that country was going to ask for ad-
mission to the league, but as different
problems had come up and the United
States had been asked to cooperate
in their solution. the United States
had begun to help and he thought the
day would come when they would be
willing to help in the solution OF all
the problems.
Members of the dominion senate
lately expressed regret that the
United States had not yet Joined the

have been removed
Senator Dandurand declared the
United States had seemed destined to
lead the nations in the way Of peace.
and he believed the conscience of the
United States would yet bring 1t In line
with the work Of the league.
Senator Belcourt, while he regretted
that the United States had not entered
the league. did not believe the partici-
patton OF that country was an absolute
necessity to the success OF the league.
He also believed it would be impossible
for the United States to preserve its
isolation and elude Its responsibility for
any great period.
Senator Casgrain charactered the
league OF nations as "a beautiful
dream" and said ''he did not believe
in coaxing the United States to come
into the league"

The
King Of the Hill
By Christopher G. Hazard

70, 1922. Western Newspaper Union.)
THE long hill glistened in the win
= ter moonlight like a frosted cake.
The road that ran down 1t like
silvered ribbon, reaching across the
railroad track and on through the val
ley, lost itself in shimmering haze
Of snowy whiteness. The wind, MS II
afraid Of awakening the sleeping
town, had hushed itself into stiffness,
waiting along the way and under the
shadows Of the quiet trees for the sig
nal Of dawn. The scene was an invita-
ton to a sport now largely displaced
by rushing motor cars, but then one of
the chief delights Of the Christmas
season. The bobsled OF those days
and nights was the pride OF owners
and the prize winner Of competitions.
The annals Of the Slater Hill race
course. registered triumphs as real and
momentous as those Of any race track.
The moon had watched with an ex-
pectant eye until ten Of the clock and
was about to retire under q passing
cloud In disappointment, when the
'clamor and shouting Of an approach
Ing crowd renewed its spirit. From
side street they came. merry lads and
lasses, with those Of later years who
had not forgotten how to be young.
Soon the head Of the hill was, crowded
with competitors and the air rang
with the bustling preparations for the
first race. mt .
The sleds Of that time were no or
binary affairs. Large enough to hold
from four to six passengers, they re-
joiced in significant titles and all the
beauty and comfort that their makers

upholstery. When loaded and on

sissippl 1t was the influence Of the
newly-developed industry that prevent
ed the indefinite suspension Of the
statewide liberalization law. Farm
ers who depend upon the COW for
part Of their income have grown to be
a power In the state and they demand
that the work be carried to compile
ton.
In two counties Of the state the
boards Of supervisors decided last fall
to stop differentiation work and to
do no more in the future, but they
reckoned without the COW owners, who
saw In the reinfestation by ticks the
disappearance of the bi-monthly milk
and cream checks that had been
keeping up their credit at the stores
even when the cotton crop was q fall
ure. These men got together and de-
manded that the boards reverse their
actions, and the boards did SO with
little delay.
In many counties in Georgia last
year, state officials report, the ravages
Of the boil weevil would have driven
many Of the cotton farmers into bank
ruptcy had they not been fortified
against 1t by few dairy cows. The
fact that the ticks had been eradi-
Gated made 1t possible to carry on the
dairy business with profit. Some of
the farmers when they saw that the
cotton crop was to be failure used
the cotton fields for growing COW feed,
and, when they could raise the money,
bought more cows from the North. In
a ticky country they would have been
lost.
A map prepared by the commission
er Of agriculture Of Oklahoma shows
that in an area of $4,000 square miles
cleared of ticks there are now more
than $50 creameries and ice cream
factories that have sprung up in the
last three or four years. Such condi-
lions, says the department, are never
found in the domain Of the tick.

What the Farmers
Might Do

In our county we usually have
good roads for hauling during the
month Of December and not very
much snow. That period might be
turned to good account getting in
the years supply Of wood to be
worked up into stove wood later
when the roads are not fit for haul
ing. Wood cutting belongs to the
cold weather, and years supply
cut and ricked up under shelter or
piled in such way as to shed the
water If out of doors, is a good way
Of practicing thrift. When the
farming season is on is no time to
stop and cut wood or to hamper
the house keeper by having her
waiting for fuel or skimping along
with poor supplies. Thrift and sue
cess call for having things done in
proper season. Cutting fuel in
spring and summer are not quite
so fatal to success as planting the
garden in the summer or fall, but
so far as the management is con-
cerned, it is about as faulty. The
banker who goes out to inspect a
farm or ranch to see If the outfit
Is entitled to loan, looks to see
whether they are thrifty at the
wood pile as we'll as in the garden
and in utilizing fertilizers and keep
ing the premises and barn yard
sanitary. 1t is not SO much ques-
ton of how good is the soil or how
dependable the water right, but
what kind of management do they
have. A good observer of these
things can inspect to pretty good
effect, as many farms as he can ride
by in a day if he only has somebody
to tell him who lives there. He can
pick the winners and the failures in
a general way by the looks of things
about the house and barn.
Last summer we reported on two
farms lying side by side. On both
farms they had many apple trees
bearing; on both farms they had po-
tatoes growing. On one farm they
take care of their apples every year
whether they seem to be in demand
or not. On the other they do
nothing with the apples at any time
because LH0y are HUI COuSIucIeu d
profitable crop. On the farm where
they always save everything and
sell it or use it or keep it waiting
for it to come into market value,
they took care of everything as
usual this year, sold what they
could near home and took the rest
to Pocatello, pedd1ed to any one
who would buy and asked their
friends to inform them at any time
of prospective buyers SO they could
communicate with or call on them
The result is that they have
cleaned up their salable produce OF
every kind excepting the potatoes
and they will probably sell them yet
at profit. They have cleaned up
the seasons bills and are feeling
pretty good because they have tried
and because their persistent efforts
have brought results.
There are said to be q good many
potato fields that have not been
harvested, where there was enough
time wasted to have put the crop
