Silly, you may say. But wait moment
Feathers are weighed by avondupois, gold by
troy. The avoirdupois pound is 1900 grains,
the troy, 5,760 grains. Therefore, unless you
define terms carefully, pound of feathers
weighs more than pound of gold.
There is one way out of this horse-a and
buggy system of weights and measures: join
the world parade and adopt the metric sys-
tenn 1t is the only scientific system 1t has
been adopted by every country IN the world
except Great Britain and ourselves. Every
country south of the Rio Grande uses it So
does all of Europe and the Orient - including
backward" China. After once trying out
metric, no country has ever gone back to its
old system. Metric is the decimal system
we use in our money, applied to weights
and measures. Everything is In units of
10; hence there Is no need for fractions.
This is. perhaps. the critical time in our
national history to make such a switch There
will be big jobs to be done IN the postwar
world. The change to metric is one of the
smaller jobs which should get top priority.
