BOY ACTOR
GETS $65,000
AS AWARD
NEW YORK, Feb. 25. An award of
$65,000 to George Wolcott, nine years
old, stage and motion picture actor,
ofr injuries received in an elevator
accident last July, was returned by a
supreme court jury here today. The
boy, who testified from a wheel chair
has been confined to a hospital since
the accident.
It was discovered that he would be
unable to practice his profession in
which he earned $75 a week. The
verdict, rendered after only ten min
utes' deliberation, was against the
Verboden Realty company.
r Th e JHetric System
. The metric system, which measures everything, in
tens, is the logical basis for all human computations and
measurements. The reason for tnis is that all, of us are
equipped with 1 0 fingers and 1 0 toes. From the time
we are taught to say "this little pig went to market,"
our attention is directed to our digits. We normally
count in tens. .
Thus it would seem reasonable for this country to
adopt the metric system and do away with our clumsy
measurements of miles, pounds, bushels and gallons.
Bills are even now before both houses of congress pro
viding for such a change.- All scientific work is done
metrically. The system is universally used on the con
tinent of Europe. Only England and the United States
lag.
To be, sure, it would be a difficult thing to accustom
people to buy milk by the liter, to weigh goods by the
gram and measure distances by the meter. France,
when the system was put into effect there in the days
of the revolution, suffered some inconveniences for a
time. In fact, it was. not until the period of the second
empire that its use. became universal.
Two million Americans who recently took a not
able little journey to France are now more or less ac
customed to the metric system. If the change is ever to
be made in this country, this seems a good time. It will
not mean that work will be any easier, or that the cost
of living will come down. But it will mean that the
arithmetic" of business will be greatly simplified. Our
money is already metric. Why not make our measure
ments of other things conform?
Any man will tell you that he gets , inspiration
out of smoking, but other folk do not notice that he is
any smarter.
The sensitive woman who has a husband with de
ficient table manners is convinced that Job was a mere
piker in the patience game.

JAW DISEASE
WET .LESLEY, Mass., Feb. 24.
Dr. Eugene C. Howe, professor of
hygiene at Wellesley college, start
led his class of girls today by declar
ing New England's traditional
"Yankee twang" is due mostly to
laziness of the jaw. That is not at
tributed to a lack of jaw exercise,
but to an unaccountable failure to let
the lower jaw fall far enought in
articulating.
Students from New England, who
are by no means in a great majority
at Wellesley, are being urged by
western girls to practice jaw calisth
enics by wearing nonadjustable veils.
