STANDARDIZATION TO AID
PAN-AMERICAN RELATIONS
Move for Uniform specifications on In.
dustrial Products Expected to Help
Trade With Republics of South.

An important advance in the direc-
ton of pan-American Standardization
may be expected at the time Of the
conference here, in the opinion of
Albert w. Whitney of New York, who
was chairman of the American engi-
neering standards committee and head
OF the United States delegation to the
Lima meeting. In discussing the
question since his return from Peru he
expressed the hope that the work in
the various countries will be well
under way by the time of the gather
ing here, and that a good start will
nave been made at standardization
through the helpful efforts of the
lnter-American High Commission. a
continuing body composed of national
groups from each of the pan-Ameri-
can countries.
Success Seems Assured.
Mr.. Whitney expressed the opinion
that the progress thus made, taken in
connection with the very strong show
ing that the United States will be
able to make on the occasion of the
conference in this country. should be
all that is needed to put the pan-Amer-
lean standardization movement well
on its feet.
Pointing to the part which "stand-
ardization" already is playing in in
dustry in the United States, Mr.. Whit
ney said that in the other American
countries the field has hardly been
touched. The task of the first con-
ference was to plan for the develop
ment of work on pan-American
basis. As to its bearing on Latin
American problems, he asserted that.
in the first place, standardization
would make these countries better
able to carry on their Industrial de.
velopment in a more effective way.
avoiding the mistakes of older indus
trial countries and putting their in
dustries at once on a highly efficient
basis; secondly, as buying countries
they will be better able to obtain de-
pendable material: and thirdly, it will
make it possible for them to place the
production and marketing of their
own raw products upon more effec-
tive basis.
II is clear, Mr.. Whitney points out,
that there will be in the future in
creasingly closer relations between
the American States; and these rela-
tons, he added. must be carried on in
spirit Of sympathy and mutual
understanding, otherwise they will be
source of irritation instead of pro
ductive of good results. There is no
way, he continued, in which individ-
uals or nations can come to know and
understand each other so effectively
as in working together on important
undertakings of mutual interest and
in which cooperation is essential.
| Standardization possesses these quail.
ties in high degree, he declared. and
the pan-American standardization
movement may prove to be an exceed.
ingly important avenue to a better
and more understanding friendship
! among the American peoples.

French Bohemians
Routed by High Prices

the real life of French Bohemia are
at loss. They wander from place to
place, from the cafes indicated in
pre- war guide books to the cut-throat
dens described as the real thing"
by so-called expert guides But they
fail to find the bearded, long haired
French artists. The artists have not
ceased to exist, but have had to with
draw their patronage from their fa-
vorite haunts because of the higher
prices for coffee and beer.
In the old places, the French artist
is replaced by the American, Spanish
or Dutch artist, and the atmosphere
is changed.

TO what things did Christ allude?
In the preceding verse we find
them set forth. They are the
common things or necessities
of our everyday life-raiment
food and shelter. In the face of these
persistent needs that are common to
US all, Jesus dared to maintain the
priority of Righteousness. In this con
nection Mr.. Clutton- Brock of the Lon
don Times says:
Unfortunately, many ministers of
religion and others have formed n
habit of speaking about the coming
of the kingdom in a way which mere
ly irritates people by its vagueness.
There have always been those who,
hoping for good time in the future,
believe ii will come by some super
natural intervention, and that every
body will then be good.
"A point often ignored is that, &C
cording to the teaching of Christ, the
whole spirit of the universe is favor
able, and not (as many would say
hostile to the kingdom of heaven.
That was what Christ meant when he
said, Seek We first the Kingdom of
God and His righteousness, and all
these things shall be added unto you.
If we sought the other things
personal prosperity and SO on-firSt,
we should not get even them. But if
we first get this passion for the king
dom of heaven, then we shall have all
the prosperity and happiness that is
desirable"
X = !.
1t is striking to note that this dis
ttnguished secular author maintains
that, without righteousness, personal
prosperity fails of its purpose. Sup
plementing this point of view, the
distinguished statiStician, Babson, con-
Siders that all forms of prosperity are
contingent upon the righteousness of
the people. History demonstrates the
accuracy of the foregoing conclusions.
A nation without moral or spiritual
convictions, no matter what its
strength, its wealth or its prosperity,
has. in time. broken down and been
destroyed. In individual life today
especially in large Centers of wealth,
material success or prosperity does
not insure moral rectitude, or disclose
those elements of strength that make
for power and endurance. Indeed the
contrary is true. Our methods or
standard of measuring growth and
efficiency, and, indeed. prosperity it
self, are frequently at variance with
the certain facts which history has
disclosed.

AUTTLE TALK ON THRIFT
b s. W. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

One frequently hears the state
ment made, Il cannot save money
because my income Is too limited.
This is one Of the most common
excuses offered by persons who are
not thrifty.
4 man earning $4,000 a year may
say this with apparently honest con
victions.
Another man earning $1,000 a
year may say the same thing with the
same honesty Of feeling ASK the
$1,000 a year man if ne could save
any money on $4,000 a year and he
undoubtedly would say, Yes"
But the chances are he would not.
1t has been proved many times that
those who are unwilling to make the
sacrifices necessary to save on limit
ed incomes are just as unwilling
to make sacrifices when their in
comes are increased.
Saving money is not matter of
income II is matter Of will pow
er.
The chances were all against Lin
coin acquiring an education; the
chances were all against Washing
tons forces surviving the winter at
Valley Forge
Most men who have succeeded
have had to do so at great odds.
Saving money on a limited income
does require pluck But because Of
this the savings take on additional
value 1t is not the amount Of mon.
ey that counts in the long run; it
is the amount Of character necessary
to produce the savings.
DO not mislead by the excuse that
you cannot save money because you
do not earn enough If your in.
come is limited, your savings will
necessarily be meager, bat they win
grow in time and will bring all the
greater rewards because Of the added
sacrifices they have cost.

Uniform Traffic Lava.

Tabulation Of more than two thou
sand questionaires from members of
a fraternal order WHO formed an au-
tomobile caravan to Washington, D.
c., showed an overwhelming endorse
ment Of uniform traffic regulation,
particularly uniform systems Of sig
mailing TO other cars and uniform
road signs.
The need of uniformity in traffic
regulations and signs has been felt
by automobile tourists, but no such
evidence Of the widespread demand
for this advanced step in automo-
bile legislation has ever before been
accumulated.
Those who participated in the au-
tomobile tour came from thirty-sev-
en- states and thus were representa-
tive Of the prevailing sentiment in
the United States on this subject
The advantages Of uniformity in
signaling, signs and speed laws are
readily seen The tourist travelling
from one state to another is con
fused by the wide va3iehce in motor
regulations and is in constant dan
ger Of violating them because of UNI
familiarity with their terms
How to accomplish the uniformity
that is desired is a problem that de-
serves the attention Of the states.
The congress is without authority to
legislate in the matter Some means
will have to be devised TO work out
a uniform system, with recommen-
dations that it be adopted by every
state.
The growing popularity of auto
mobile touring makes some improve
ment in this direction imperative.
