WEDNESDAY. JANUARY Bl. 1920
! ths metric System.
' A skillful and sustained campaign
is being carried on by the World
Trade Club of San Francisco to ob
tain the adoption by the . United
States ' and Great Britain , of the
metric system of weights and
measures. A map issued by the
club shows graphically how the
metric system has spread over the
worfd, the United States and Can-
ada being, partly on a metric basis
and Great Britain and Australia be
ing on the way. In 34 nations they
are the only legal units and in 21
they are recognited by law and
used more than any other units.
It cannot be denied that fn the
war great confusion was created by
the different standards of measure
ment in use in France and the
English speaking countries. Au
thorities say that the delays caused
by the lack of standarization length
ened the war from "months" to two
years. It is even asserted that Ger
many counted on this as an aid in
winning the war. Scientists agree
that the change to the metric sys
tem would be A remarkably fine
thing for the whole world.
All that the average person needs
to know in order to use metric
standards is meter-liter-giiam. . We
can speak of .1 meter or. of 10,000
meters, just as we apeak' of $0.10
r. 110,000.
. 1.111 is expressed at one dollar,
one 10 cent, one cent, one mill.
.1.111 is expressed as one meter,
one deci-meter, one centi-meter, one
. milll-nieter. . .
J.lll. Is expressed as one litec
onq deci-liter, one centi-liter, one
mlJU-liter.
1.111 is expressed as one gram
one deci-grerp, ope centi-gram, one
miui-gram.
Some day the change will be
made.
Rather striking evidence of the
shortage of news print, of which
we made mention-some weeks ago,
comes from Klamath Falls in a re
cent Issue of the Evening Herald,
- the local daily occupying somewhat
the position in that field that The
. Bulletin has in Bend. The Issue
referred to la reduced to half the
usual size and, in addition, carries
a notice stating that it is not unlikely
that the paper will have, to change
from a daily to three times a week
because ot its inability to obtain
paper. A forecast of increased ad
vertising rates is also made, his
is just what is happening all over
the country.
. Recent reports show that only 30
ot the Oregon soldiers who served
In the war received the American
distinguished service cross. As was
to be expected, Portland with Its
large number of soldiers shows the
greatest number of crosses, 15 of
the total having gone to Portland
men. Safem is next with three and
North Portland . and McMinnville
have two each. . Bend is on the list
with one, the recipient being E. A.
Brandon. To be absolutely fair,
though, the honor should go to Des
chutes, that being Mr. Brandon's
postoffice address.

She stdod upon the vessel's' prow, what time the

Alas, ft Was an idle threat, though hurled at Us with
