METRICS IMPORTANT
IK LATIS AMERICA
Washington, D. C. The question
of measures seems la be a ery iaj
IKirtant mailer in the Uatin-Auiencan
trade. This is being emphasized here
in gouTnuient circles. Instances
multiply where persistence by com
mercial houses and others in using
the present obsolete weights and
measures have not only caused em
barrassment, but eeu prevented
trade development.
An instance is cited from Lima,
Peru, where an American firm which
neglected to submit its invoices in
metric terms was saved from the con
fiscation of its entire shipment only
after strenuous efforts by the United
States commercial attache at that
port.
A bulletin by the Latin-American
division of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, in discussing the
necessity of the metric system in Latin-American
trade, says that "the
present lack of uniformity in the old
weights and measures used iu Latin
America constitutes nt- of the chief
reasons for the extension of the met
ric system in that part of the world.
"The recogniied advantages of uni
formity and simplicity possessed by
the metric system and the impetus al
ready given it in Latin-America by its
official adoption, make it the logical
successor of the numerous and vary
ing systems that must inevitably
yield to definite standards with the
expansion of trade and the resulting
improvement in communication."

HIGH SC HOOL NOTES.
The electric clock system was in
stalled in the high school last week.
This clock runs on Edison primary
cells and is self winding every hour.
There are eight clocks and each one
has the same time, being controlled
by a master clock. One face was pla
ced in the down stairs hall for the
ringing of bells, etc. The hands of
the clocks jump every thirty seconds.
The master clock will carry twenty
secondary clocks. They were install
ed by Borg-Boitnott & Co. It is plan
ned to install a clock in each one of
the grade rooms next year.
