' STANDARDS OP VALUE
'. The affairs of modern civilization are built upon a founda
tion of measurements measurements of time, of weight
and distance, and of value. Our social, economic, political,
and intellectual life would collapse in chaos if these systems
of measurement were to be taken away.
The measurements of time, weight, volume, and distance
aM determined with scientific accuracy and are standardized
by' laws in almost every government on earth.
One may easily imagine what would happen if time were
not standardized and everything operated on its own time.
Traiiis, ships, and airplanes could never make connections
and people would never be able to plan a trip in advance.
Appointments would be useless, meetings could not be ar
ranged, work would le hopelessly delayed, business and in-i
dustry would be ruined. j
And just suppose that the standards of weight and meas-i
lire were subject to change like the weather, instead of be
ing protected with infinite care by science and governments.'

"what is a ton of coal today might be the equivalent of two
; tons tomorrow or half a ton
De conauciea.
Science and society have
ate' standards of time and distance, weight and volume, be
cause our civilization would revert to. the primitive without
such standards. .
But the standards of value have teen left to fluctuate like
the winds, until they are as" 'unreliable as a worn out clock.
.,That is one of the chief ailments of the world today, the
, cause of untold misfortune and misery during the past two
or three years, and during similar periods at regular inter
! vals down through the ages.
Of course we have a very definite standard of money in
every civilized nation today, but that is superf icial ; there
- is nothing to prevent a dollar from buying twice as much
now aa it did in 1929, and there is nothing to prevent the
; pendulum from swinging to the opposite extreme in the
next ten years.
This is called an age of organization and order, but the
possessor of a fortune today may see it dwindle to a pit
tance tomorrow; and land which is 'practically worthless to
day may be worth millions tomorrow.
Oho of the weakest spots in our civilization is this aimless
fluctuation in" the standards of value. Men have come to
believe that the fluctuation is governed by the law of supply
and demand, which itself is governed by such vague and un-
stable factors as the weather, accidents, appetites, and emo
tions. It is no wonder that it cannot be stabilized.
However, since the motto of this generation seems to be
''Nothing is impossible," it will do no harm to dream of
some day accomplishing our goal and establishing an un
changing standard of value. Nothing would bring society
greater assurance of progress, stability, and ease-of-mind.

given a good moistening. Fifteen men
from each class made the pull but the
sophomores were heavier and pulled
