MANUFACTURERS OF COUNTRY
 ACCEPTING STANDARD FORMS

NEW YORK. May 18.-(By Associ- ated Press. 1.-The business of life, at least that portion of it having to do with the manufacture, sale and use of material things. has become so complicated in recent years that more than 200 national industrial as- socfations and government depart mehts are now engaged in cooper atkve effort to straighten out the tangle.. The strengthening process has taken the form of simplification. unification, and standardization Of raw materials, of manufacturing pro cesses, and of finished products.
 The far reaching proportion this work assumed during 1922 is re- vealed in the year book of the Amer ican Engineering Standards Com mittee, federation of the industrial, technical. social and governmental agencies engaged in national stand ardizat.on work The projects un- der way range from standardization of the proportions of bolts, nuts and rivcts to the standardization of the dimensions of motion picture films; from standardization of the methods of testing automobile headlights to standardization of methods of test ing wood. steel, or portland cement; from standardization of methods of

sampling coal and coke to the stand ardization of the methods of testing cotton fabrics; from the standardiza- ton of rules concerning electricity meters to standardizatii tiion of the manner in which telegraph, telephone and other electric wires cross each other at overhead intersections on the streets and roads of the United States. In all, more than 120 such projects have been completed or are now under way.
 Even the language of industrial and technical men has become so complicated and confused in the rapid development of science and in dustry during recent years that 1t has become necessary to simplify and standardize words, their mean ings and symbols.
 Tho Standards Committee reports that the national movement for in dustrial standardization accomplished more during the last year than in any preceding year. and the work has now reached tho stage of mass production. Trade associations and general com mercial bodies have shown decidedly increased interest in standardization work which. in It's earliest stages. was considered of, interest principal ly to engineers
