James C. McHally. University of Washington, Feb. 21. The metric system, the standard of measurement used by virtually all the foremost nations of the globe except the United States, will be adopted in a few years by this country, in the opinion of Prof. E. O. Eastwood of the university college of engineering. "The United States cannot long re main self-contained, even in the mat ter of weights and measures," said Prof. Eastwood. "The units of meas urement affect the whole body of com mercial relations between two coun tries. As our trade with the South American countries advances, the need for a common, uniform standard will increase. We cannot force our cus tomers to accept our system if they have been using another standard for a long time. Thy United States can not hold out ag.-.inst the rest of the world ntMch longer." Commercial necessity will be one of the principal factors in bringing aliout the change from the present scheme of weights and measures to the more uniform metric system, says Prof. Eastwood. He points out that commercial houses in the United States in their trade with South America have been forced more than once to put up goods in special con tainers based on the metric measure ment. South America firms in trad ing with continental Euaopc have ac customed themselves to the metric units. The need for the adoption by this country of the European standard with respect to scientific implements is evident, thinks Prof. Eastwood. Many delicate instruments are manu factured in Europe. When replace ment of a part is necessary, the order must be sent across the Atlantic. If international standardization were ac complished these replacement orders would stay in America, along with many original orders. The metric system is a decimal scheme based on the meter, which is the distance between two lines drawn on a platinum bar kept in Paris. The system Is established by law in the continental nations. England and the United States permit the system to be used, but do not sanction it by stat ute. The meter is 39.37 inches.

When You Have a Cold. It is when you have a severe cold that you appreciate the good qualities of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mrs. rrank Crocker, Pana, ill., writes: "Our five-year-old son Paul caught a severe cold last winter that settled on his lungs and he had terrible cough ing spells. We were gTeatly worried about him as the medicine we gave him did not help him in the least. A neighbor spoke so highly of Chamber lain's Cough Re me that 1 got a bot tle of it. The first dose benefitted him so much that I continued giving it to him until he was cured. I Worms Easily Removed.
