METRIC SYSTEM URGED TO AID UNEMPLOYED Engineer Explains Advantages to President Hoover in Letter J’ittsburgh, Dec. 27.—(U.R)-Com-pulsory adoption of the metric system of weights and measures in the United States a change that would involve an “enonnona expenditure"- has been suggested to President Hoover by Albert Bernard de Salardi, Wilkinsburg mechanical engineer, as an aid to unemployment. The engineer pointed out that new scales, measures, bottles, met ers, sacks, barrels, and containers ot every s; rt would have to he manufactured to replace the present equipment made on the English scale. In addition, shop machinery, gasoline pumps, tools, ledgers, maps, surveys, hnd publications of all kinds would have to be changed. The huge amount of business involved in making these replacements would alleviate materially the present unemployment situation, De Sarlardi stated. “Feverish activity for the multitude ot clerical, technical and shop force' . idle today would result ihrotigh adoption of the plan," according to De Salardi. Because of scientific advantages the metric system has betn adopted by every nation of tiie world except England and the United States, De Salardi declared. "Tiie necessity <f developing economic life on a scientific and efficient basis, and tiie unhampered interchange of thoughts and goods In-tween nations command it." tiie engineer said in his letter to Mr. Hoover.
