I record as favoring the declniaj gyg. item of measuring in preference to 'the Anglo-American system or other gystemg, and during the recent Paris congress the members voted I to Instruct the national committee Ito undertake a new campaign. Action in favor of metric calcu- . lation is recommended in the intereats of trade, aa it is pointed out that universal use of the same type of measurement would make for simplicity in transactions. Business men represented In the chamber never had difficulty deciding which exfsfTng system should be employed universally as the simple I units, tens and hundreds scale of the metric system recommends its- * self far above the others by Its simp'lctty, in their opinion. I The chamber’s resolution pointed i out that s-ince the continued use of |other systems, particularly in the Anglo-American countries, were i likely to delay application of met- ' ric measurement unless it again i were brought to the tore, the national committees should bring it to the immediate attention of their governments. The chamber xsks two things, first that efforts to apply decimal measurement be made in countries where it is not official, and second, ! efforts be made to exclude all othier systems officio.'ly in countries already using meters and kilo- : grams. o | Seattle —(UP)—The once-proud i four musted schooner.

FRUIT FLY WAR BEGUN BY AAA Honolulu!.— (U.R> — The AAA is [ preparing a series of radio "pro- , grams" for the Mediterranean fruit . fly which may result in bringing luscious tropical fruits of Hawaii to tho tableg of homes on mein- , land United States. Hawaiian fruits and vegetables, subjected to Infestation by the fruit r fly. cannot be shipped to continental United States because of fed- ( eral quarantine barriers. Radio waves may provide a solution for the problem, Chauncey B. Wightman, AAA representative for Hawaii, told the United Press. Wightman outlined p'ans for a campaign to eradicate the pest by application of high frequency radio 1 to the infested fruit. Scientists contend that high frequency radio 'waves will desroy the larvae whether it is active or dormant. I Should the campaign prove suc- • cessful in lifting the quarantine against shipment of Island fruits, 1 residents of the nation's template tones may have a chance to eat delicious tropical _ fruits such as ', the mango, papaia and avocado. The government has set aside ißi'.OOu from the AAA sugar processing tax to finance the radio 1 campaign against the fruit fly, , Wightman said. In additio nto the • radio experiments, three entomol--1; ogists will be sent around tho world in search of parasites which ' will prey on the fruit fly. If the desired parasites can be found, they wl.'l be imported to be ' released to join the battle against the pest which has destroyed mil-
